Bonham Retreat

Tucked into the rolling Hill Country just outside Dripping Springs, Bonham Retreat is the kind of place that quietly does it all --- a sprawling, multi-structure escape built for the group that wants to spread out, slow down, and still have plenty to do. What sets it apart is its top-to-bottom commitment to wellness: a non-toxic home where every detail, from the cookware to the cleaning products to the water flowing from every tap, has been chosen with intention. The main house leads with an open-concept great room that flows into a chef's kitchen outfitted with non-toxic ceramic cookware, a Vitamix, wooden and stainless steel utensils, and ceramic dinnerware. A long island, ample prep space, and a dining table for six set the stage for everything from leisurely breakfasts to ambitious dinner parties. A piano in the living area invites impromptu performances, and tall windows pull the outdoors in.

Bedrooms are spread thoughtfully across the home for privacy and flexibility. Two king suites anchor the layout for couples, while a third room pairs a queen with two twins --- ideal for parents bunking with little ones. A fourth room with four twins sleeps four, making this an easy fit for multi-generational trips, friend weekends, or family reunions. The recording studio doubles as a bonus sleeping space, with a pull-out double tucked in for an extra guest. Outside, a vintage Airstream offers a cozy, design-forward stay for adventurous guests, and a kids' playhouse with a pull-out sleeper rounds out the sleeping arrangements. Air purifiers run in every bedroom and throughout the home, all bedding is washed in unscented non-toxic detergent, and no perfumes or air fresheners are used anywhere on the property.

Outside is where Bonham Retreat really stretches its legs. A private pool sits at the heart of the backyard, surrounded by lounging space, a covered outdoor dining area, and a built-in BBQ station made for long, lazy afternoons. As evening rolls in, the firepit becomes the gathering spot, with Adirondack chairs ringed around the flames under a Hill Country sky that's known to put on a show. Kids have their own dedicated park on the property --- trampoline, playhouse, and room to roam --- so everyone in the group has space that's truly theirs. Inside, a dedicated playroom keeps the youngest guests busy with a non-toxic wool carpet, LEGO wall and building table, chalkboard wall, and bins of toys, books, and stuffed animals. When the energy winds down, a ceiling-mounted projector screen transforms the room into the perfect family movie night setup.

For the wellness-minded, the on-site gym is a real centerpiece --- fully equipped with a Peloton, squat rack, bench press, dumbbells, kettlebells, and resistance bands, plus a serious lineup of recovery tools: a Bellicon rebounder, vibration plate, Bon Charge PEMF mat, and red lights built into the ceiling. A 2-person Sunlighten infrared sauna with red light and near-infrared light, ultra-low EMF, offers a quiet reset after a day in the sun, and the master bath features a red light shower head designed for skin and hair nourishment. Even the water has been considered: a whole-house filtration system removes chlorine, fluoride, heavy metals, and other contaminants from every faucet and shower, while the kitchen pairs a 14-stage filtration system with a Leveluk K8 hydrogen water ionizer for ultra-purified, hydrogen-enriched drinking water.

Content creators, podcasters, and remote workers will find another standout here: two purpose-built creative spaces. The recording studio includes a vocal booth with microphone and stand, professional film lighting, and sound dampening panels. The podcast studio is kitted out with two RØDE podcasting microphones and cables, a mixer, two professional film lights, and a walking desk for sessions that keep you moving. It's the rare setup that makes Bonham Retreat work for retreats, off-sites, and creator getaways just as well as it works for family vacations.

The location is its own draw. Dripping Springs sits at the heart of Texas Hill Country wine and spirits country, with dozens of wineries, distilleries, and breweries within a short drive --- a tasting trail you could spend days exploring. Hamilton Pool Preserve and the swimming holes of Pedernales Falls State Park are close enough for easy day trips, and the live music, food, and energy of downtown Austin are just over thirty minutes away. It's a setup that lets you choose your own adventure: a full day out in the Hill Country, a quick city run, or a long stretch of doing absolutely nothing at all.

Spend your days on the lake's crystal clear waters, bar hopping on Sixth Street, and shopping down South Congress Ave. Locals and visitors love to "keep Austin weird", which is reason enough to travel to this quirky city.
