Nothing fancy to see here, just a little ride on the School of Magic Bus!
We are doing our best to work with Nature as we create our home and open our 14 acres of raw beautiful land to guests. We have a yoga dome, tipi, disc golf, hammocks, trails, fossil hunting, a Spring (rain dependent), etc! The Bus sits on the edge of a hill overlooking the Texas Hill Country. The land provides an opportunity to connect with Nature.
The space
The School of Magic Bus is a converted school bus, great for a weekend trip the Hill Country! The bus has a couch, a small kitchen (sink, fridge, electric stove top, dishes, coffee maker, etc.), a small kitchen table, and a bed room area. There is an A/C/ heater that makes it comfortable for sleeping at night, but it’s an old school bus, so during the extreme heat or cold, can only insulate so much.
The bathroom is a 15 second walk away, which includes a shower, sink, and composting toilet.
The cabin opens up onto the edge of a hill with some lovely Hill Country sights and sounds.
The bus is located in the “residential” part of the property, meaning you may hear dogs, chickens, a few cars, passing guests, etc. (If you want a more secluded stay, look at our other 3 options, they are a bit more private.) There are also many areas to find seclusion throughout the property for all guests.
There is a community kitchen and pavilion area, 15 seconds away, that includes a full kitchen and supplies.
The cabin is on raw Hilly Country land, which means incredible beauty, yet untamed.
The property includes our 14 acres open for exploration! We have a yoga dome, hiking trails, our own private fresh water Spring for floating, 18 hole disc golf, hammocks, a communal kitchen and social area, etc.
Guest access
The 14 acre property is open for exploration, including a fresh water spring, yoga dome, hammock hangs, picnic tables, some hiking trails, 18-hole disc golf course, and even some fossil and artifact hunting.
On the property, we have a full community kitchen available to all guests. Including grill, cookware, spices, Pitboss smoker, sink, a fridge, etc.
Our book room, the Hideaway is available. As well as art supplies, board games, etc.
There is also a communal covered social space.
The neighborhood is a "country" neighborhood: private gravel road, multi-acre properties spaced out, with friendly neighbors all enjoying the peace of Hill Country living.

Other things to note
We require all of our guests to read and understand the directions, check in instructions, and house manual when they arrive. We ask guests to respect the land, the space, and us.
We do use composting toilets in the cabin.
We run off of a rain water system, so water conservation is appreciated.
Again, the bus is in the “residential” area, meaning there is a little more happening for sights and sounds.
Responsible dogs only please! If you bring a dog, you must make sure they stay on the property at all times and do not roam onto neighbor’s properties. Their barking should be respectful of others.
