Founding SeasonFounding Season — join the list

Spring in Dripping Springs: limestone creeks running clear, wildflowers doing their thing, and evenings that smell like cedar smoke. Days are for the swimming holes and easy creek walks; nights are for the campfire and live acoustic music from local pickers. Cabins are simple and solid — real beds, porches, room to spread out. No spa robes. No green juice. Just water, music, and quiet.

Founding Season. Mar 12–14, 2027 is a sample weekend shown while we lock real dates — holding spots is free and never promises a confirmed seat yet.

Coming with Founding Season retreats

THE WATERLINE SANCTUARY — secluded bodywork, not spa day

A private treatment space in canvas and natural materials — soft natural light, privacy screens, fresh air, trees and water nearby, natural sounds. At this weekend it's a secluded private 3/4 tent near the water — quiet, natural, intimate without being sexual, premium without pretentious — for optional massage or Reiki sessions. Vetted local practitioners, scheduled and pre-booked, consent-based, purely relaxation and wellness (never medical), limited availability. Not available yet — note your interest when you book and we hold a slot in mind for you.

This weekend's questions

Good to know

What are the swimming holes like in March?

Clear, cool, and gorgeous — limestone creeks at their spring best. The water's brisk but very swimmable, and the banks are perfect for sitting with your feet in. Nothing is mandatory; the creekside chairs count as participation.

What kind of live music?

Local acoustic pickers around the Saturday campfire — guitar, fiddle, the occasional harmonica. It's a front-porch set, not a concert: request-friendly, singalong-encouraged, done by the time the fire burns low.

How far is the drive?

Easy — Dripping Springs is under an hour from most of Austin and about 90 minutes from San Antonio. We run a ride board so you can split gas.
