Located on hill country-like terrain with miles of trails, Kasa Casa offers perfect privacy for couples, small families, artists (studio next door), and anyone wanting a getaway, personal wellness/cleansing retreat, or me/us time. Guests can see a small portion of the Fossil Rim Wildlife Center drive-through from the back yard, lucky visitors have seen giraffe browsing and zebras grazing!This house was designed by a tinkerer and yacht builder! We’ve built a studio next door for musicians, yoga enthusiasts, dancers and others to use. The main floor is an open area with the kitchen, conversation area, dining table and recently updated in partnership with Sanctuary for Life, a non-profit providing special care to caregivers. The hall leading to the upstairs also brings you to a half-bath and the laundry room area with an infra-red sauna.Upstairs is the main bedroom with a door onto the sunshine deck, the full bath (shower only) and another living area with a wood-burning stove. The Crow’s Nest bedroom is perched over the living area. There is covered parking, and a covered patio with a huge Fossil Stone table and bench and propane grill. Jill Sablosky limestone art benches grace the labyrinth area in the front yard. Tom Tischler's bronze, life-sized Galapagos Tortoise greets guests and provides The "Kasa" -Swahili for turtle - in Kasa Casa!Kasa Casa is just under a mile off the county road which takes you to Fossil Rim’s Overlook and into Glen Rose, but far enough off the road for quiet and solitude.

At Kasa Casa you’ll find:• About 1200 sq feet indoors in our multi-level house.• Our biodynamic garden, labyrinth, sculpture garden and enclosed studio just outside the front door• Old ranch buildings and equipment nearby for fun photographic backgrounds• 2 upstairs bedrooms with queen beds, and an extra single futon.• 1 bathroom upstairs (no tub) and the ½ bathroom just up from the main floor.• Central heat/air, 1 wood-burning stove• Dishes for 8, nicely equipped kitchen for cooking, preparing meals, gas stove and oven• A dishwasher• An outdoor gas grill, propane supplied. • Indoor and patio tables seat 6 people each.• Ranch and nature adventures, tours and experiences are available by pre-arrangement.

Kasa Casa’s library reflects our interest in healthy living, sailing, nature, philosophy, wildlife and a healthy landscape.• We have a total of four guest houses available, spread out across the ranch.

Habari (VRBO #432534) is our biggest guest house, with 5 bedrooms and extra futons to sleep as many as 16, it is great for larger groups.

We invite you to stay at Kasa Casa or any of our four guest houses, it’s the best cure we know for nature deficit disorder!!!If you would like early check-ins or late check outs, let us know, and we will send you a special offer ($100 per 2 hour extra block).
