Founding SeasonRR 12 → river · 29.99°N 98.08°W
Rugged weekend escapes in the Texas Hill Country — real cabins, campfires, swimming holes, and silence. For when you need a damn break and you need it now.
You shouldn't have to be rich to be allowed to feel exhausted.
From $349 all-in · lodging, meals, everything. No payment due today.
For burned-out adults 18+ — nurses, teachers, line cooks, new parents, anyone running on fumes. You don't need to be outdoorsy. You just need to be tired. If you're old enough to decide you need to get the F%CK out, you're old enough to come.
Why GTFO is different
No spa music. No sunrise bootcamp. No guru trying to fix you. The whole program is: swim, sit by the fire, sleep hard.
Shared cabins with real beds, brisket and tacos from local cooks, coffee that never runs out. Rough around the edges, on purpose.
Less than a month of takeout — because burnout doesn't check your bank account, and rest shouldn't be a luxury good. We don't just take you somewhere. We connect you with the place (and the peace).
Loose schedule, spotty signal by design. Hike, float, read, nap. The porch is a full itinerary.
Cost, straight up
$349+
per person, all-in for the weekend
"You shouldn't have to be rich to be allowed to feel exhausted."
A real reset shouldn't require a luxury budget. An hour or two from Austin and San Antonio, carpool board included — get out of town Friday fried, roll home Sunday rested.

Notify meComing alone?
You do not need to bring anyone. Just show up solo — meeting people around the fire Friday night is the whole point. No partner, no crew, no awkward third wheel. Strangers Friday, group-text Sunday.
Coming with Founding Season retreats
A private treatment space in canvas and natural materials — soft natural light, privacy screens, fresh air, trees and water nearby, natural sounds. Optional massage and Reiki from vetted local practitioners — pre-booked, consent-based, purely relaxation (never medical), with limited availability. At water sites it's a secluded private 3/4 tent near the water; out in Terlingua it's the dark-sky version of the same privacy idea. Not available yet — reserve your interest when you book and we'll save you a slot.

Quick answers
Burned-out adults 18+ — nurses, teachers, line cooks, new parents, anyone running on fumes. You don't need to be outdoorsy, into wellness, or spiritual. You don't need to be rich. You just need to be tired. If you're old enough to decide you need to get the F%CK out, you're old enough to come.
Come alone — that's how GTFO weekends are built. No plus-one needed, no crew required. Shared cabins and campfire dinners do the rest: you'll know your cabinmates by Friday dinner. Arriving solo is the design, not a concession.
A loose schedule on purpose: a morning hike or walk, an afternoon swim or float, evenings around the campfire with real food from local cooks. Days run roughly Friday dinner through Sunday lunch. Swim, sit by the fire, sleep hard — the porch is a full itinerary.
Weekends start at $349 all-in: 2 nights in a real bed (shared cabin or bunkhouse, linens included), every meal Friday dinner through Sunday lunch catered by local cooks — menu subject to change — plus all guided hikes, swims, campfires, and live music. No payment is due today; payment comes later via a secure link.
Layers, boots or sturdy shoes, a swimsuit, a headlamp, and whatever you read. We send a packing list before every retreat. Bedding, towels, food, and river gear are on us.
