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!

Welcome to your own private holler—where magic hangs from the trees and time slows to a whisper. Robin’s Nest is a real treehouse—built atop 7 oaks with no tape measure, no level, and no blueprints—just imagination, old wood, and 150-year-old treasures tucked into every corner. It’s not a house on sticks next to trees. It’s in the trees. And when you’re here, you’re not on our time. You’re on treehouse time. This isn’t polished, modern luxury. It’s barefoot luxury. A dreamy, playful escape with simple comforts: a swinging queen daybed, open-air master bath in the tree with you, fire pit, cowboy hot tub, and a rope cargo net for lounging in the forest. There are trails to wander, frogs to sing you to sleep, and stars above. Push open the double doors. Slide the futon against the handrail under the roof cover. Turn off the lights and leave only the fairy lights glowing. Across the pond, a spotlight shines on a little feeder, and if you’ve been quiet, you’ll see deer, raccoons, and other critters play in the dark—like a living storybook, better than TV. Leave the doors open. Let the cool AC wash over you. This moment is yours. The entire holler is yours. No neighbors. No campers. No shared anything. Just you and the wild around you. This land is a working wildlife sanctuary, cared for with 50 years of hands-on learning. Please don’t bring poisons—they hurt the good critters too. The yellow-and-black mud daubers? Harmless to humans, deadly to harmful spiders. The big harmless, banana spiders keep flies and mosquitos away. It's nature in balance. If the pond’s low, bring a float or take our kayaks ten minutes away to a secret bend in the San Marcos River. We’ll share the pin. Your close to town but, fully immersed in nature, so it's not ideal for small kids to wander alone. Ladders, beds, and trails aren’t built to code. Adults should be fit and wear sturdy shoes if going far from camp. One night is fun. But your happy place deserves more than that. This is your holler now.

Weekend Trip to South Picosa

We absolutely loved our quick weekend getaway here! It was incredibly easy to access with our truck camper and offered a perfect blend of isolation while still being close to town. The property felt beautifully natural, featuring nice native cacti and trees. The fire pit and provided firewood were a huge bonus on the cool day, making for a cozy evening. We noted the presence of some grazing cows and a few hunting stands, which added to the rustic, natural feel. Highly recommend this spot for an easy, peaceful retreat close to amenities.

Enjoy a true glamping experience in our renovated vintage Avion (similar to Airstream) camper.

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.

Weekend Trip to Owl Hollow at San Marcos

The location was central at 30+ minutes to wherever I wanted to go: Austin, Wimberley, San Antonio. I enjoyed the private, tree-covered camping spot. I saw bunnies, cats, deer, and all kinds of birds. If you’re a light sleeper or like to sleep in, be sure to bring ear plugs to hear less of the resident rooster. The hosts were caring, communicative, and accommodating, willing to share some of their covered patio when it rained. Thankful for the indoor bathroom facilities with hot water. My AT&T phone signal worked fine.

Such a wonderful peaceful place. Close enough in town that you can run and grab anything that you need but far enough away to feel like you're really alone. I really appreciated the self-check-in but great communication in case I needed anything. There's a ton of land but I really also love that I was the only one camping. The cows are so friendly and it was such a pleasant surprise to have them greet me throughout my visit. I'll definitely be back!

Loved the spot. Very peaceful, and quite. Plenty of mesquite for shade. If you're trying to get away from the hustle and bustle of the San Antonio, and don't want to go far, look no further. This place check all the right boxes for a primitive campsite.

Our stay at The Robin’s Nest was the perfect weekend getaway from the city. This unique home will truly have you sleeping in the trees. Everything you need is there, from coffee to firewood to a canoe for the pond! Shellie was friendly and helpful and quick to answer any questions I had. This is a special place. We look forward to staying here again!

Host is very welcoming! The goats are awesome! The roosters let you know mornings here. They can accommodate most anything vehicle wise it seems. The bathroom was the selling point for me. It’s a shack but its a furnished bathroom, just bring a towel and everything else is there!

My partner and I scheduled this stay on short-notice to get away before I started my new job. The weekend felt so relaxing, private, romantic, and adventurous. We stayed in August, so while it was a bit hot in the middle of the day, the AC in the cabin, outdoor shower, and bathtub provided lots of ways to cool down. The host was very responsive and helpful during our stay.

This place is thoughtfully built with love and care. The cabin has everything one looks for. The best part, host themselves built them with no third person's help. They managed to get that rustic premium look to the property with enough privacy and blended really well with nature.

I had a great experience on my camping trip. I was welcome on site with fire wood and a wonderful story about the lands history. They have two cows on the land that were so friendly. Where I chose to put my tent, unfortunately, had quite a few ants. But other than that, I would recommend this site to anyone.
