My husband and I have built 100% of our homestead ourselves, with no hired help and we try to use as many recycled materials as possible. We utilize some solar power and capture 100% of our water from the rain, for an eco friendly experience. In addition to our rentals, we also built and run a small event/retreat center where folks host retreats, weddings, workshops, and more!

We are a family of 4 plus dog with a studio apartment/casita available for short-term rental in our backyard. Casita El Dorado features a full bathroom, couch/murphy bed combo, mini fridge, and kitchenette. Please note that the proximity to the main house doesn't allow for a great deal of privacy unless you are indoors.
Our property is 1.25 acres in a 1970s suburban neighborhood. We think it's the perfect mix of community and urban convenience with a tranquil and private setting. Guests will have access to our backyard and pool and one off-street parking spot. The backyard features several seating areas and a pool that are available to use during your stay. We have a grill, fire pit, and laundry facilities that can be used by making arrangements directly with us after booking.
OTHER SITES
Bootstrap Academy - our pandemic backyard schoolhouse - is now a flex space featuring a home office setup, some work out equipment, and a twin bed with a second twin mattress as a trundle. This space can also be booked by guests booking the casita for an extra fee. This building doesn't have its own bathroom. Please inquire if you’re interested.

2 nights at Hill Country Nature Retreat
This place was absolutely perfect in every way! From an extremely comfortable bed and thoughtful design details to a peaceful and beautiful natural setting, this was my ideal for a place to relax and regroup after a long year. Many thanks to Marlena! She is an attentive and gracious host!

Marlena’s airstream is a great stay if you’re looking to disconnect and be off the grid. The property is beautiful, clean and comfy. She’s also very responsive, just in case you have questions.

Leah’s place is such a peaceful and welcoming spot! The land is spacious and beautifully maintained, with lots of room to spread out and enjoy nature. I was greeted by her sweet and friendly dog, which was such a fun surprise. The pool is perfect for cooling off on a warm day, and there’s a cozy hammock tucked under the trees that’s great for relaxing with a book. I also loved the fire pit area—it’s a great setup for sitting under the stars. Overall, it’s a quiet, charming spot with everything you need for a relaxing outdoor getaway.

We loved ringing in the new year at Marlena’s space. Every single detail was accounted for, from the hammocks to the fire circle to the cozy outdoor kitchen, right down to the complimentary eggs from their chickens.
We brought our 7 year olds along, who rated their experience a 10/10. Our pups would have rated it the same!
We cannot wait to plan our return.

Weekend Trip to Hill Country Nature Retreat
Wonderful place. Lots of little touches that make it comfortable. It was rainy: two giant umbrellas. We tracked some dirt in: little brooms to clean up. We wanted some hot tea to warm up: a collection of every HEB flavor. The bed was super comfortable and we stayed cozy at 44F using the gas heater and leaving the windows open.
Oh and the showers were hot.
100% great spot.

We had the most phenomenal stay at this camping spot. It’s the perfect balance of “roughing it” while still enjoying comforts like hot water and minimal electricity. The Airstream was fully stocked with everything we could possibly need, and the hosts’ attention to detail and communication were incredible.
The location was wonderfully secluded, providing a peaceful sanctuary to disconnect from life and reconnect with ourselves. We were lucky to visit during a full moon, which made our nighttime walks magical—no flashlights needed! The weather was perfect for nightly fires, and we absolutely loved lounging in the hammocks, reading, napping, and soaking in the sounds of nature.
It’s clear the couple who created this space poured so much love and care into curating a little piece of healing heaven. We left feeling relaxed, rejuvenated, and deeply grateful for our time there. We can’t wait to return and share this special place with friends.

Beautiful property and so carefully designed. I enjoyed swinging in the hammocks, grilling under the string lights, and observing nature on the trail loop. Bonus-a roadrunner greeted us at the driveway.
