Built completely by husband and wife duo Eugene and Marlena, Hill Country Nature Retreat is a nature based event venue in Texas. Our 37 acre oasis is an hour outside of Austin and San Antonio in Blanco. We host retreats, family gatherings, team building workshops, and solo or couple adventures. Our eco friendly spaces use solar power for electricity and rainwater catchment systems, with plenty of creature comforts.

There's SO many new folks following along on our lil page so I wanted to re-introduce us! It's hard to sum up 10 years in some pics with words on 'em, but I'm a hard-core self promoter, so feel free to fall down the rabbit hole of our Facebook and IG (). Introduce yourself in the comments! Where are you from? What do you like to do with your time?

Here's how I use fat+smoke to tan a deer hide. Most folks call this textile "buckskin". This is not THE way to do it: this is MY way to do it.
