Real Texas Retreat_edited.jpg

The Texas getaway your family has been talking about

Private land, Natural springs. Room to spread out, slow down, and actually be together - no crowds, no itineraries, no one else's schedule.

What We Offer

Places this special don’t come with crowds.

Wimberley and Barksdale offer amazing beauty and convenience just a short drive from Dallas, Austin, San Antonio and Houston.

A World Apart

Dramatic terrain, open sky, the sound of a river or spring moving over limestone. Our properties are chosen for the feeling they create - genuinely removed from the everyday, without requiring a week off or a cross country flight.

Real Water

Natural springs. Crystal clear water. Year-round swimming holes carved from limestone over centuries.  The kind of water you can't manufacture and the kind your family will be talking about long after you've gone home.

Your Whole Crew, One Place

Each property can be yours alone for your stay.  Cook together, stay up late, wake up on your own clock.  The kitchen is stocked your way, the porch is yours all night, and the river or springs aren't going anywhere.
