Hi there! We’re a family of seven, knit together through birth, foster care, and adoption. Each of our stories is unique, but we’ve been brought together by grace and a shared love for adventure, learning, and life on the land. We believe home should be a place of peace and hospitality—whether it’s our everyday space or the one we prepare for guests like you. Hosting at Walnut Creek Retreat gives us the chance to welcome others into the restful, wide-open life we love so much. When we’re not tending the homestead, you’ll find us exploring new places, hiking trails, baking bread, or curled up with a stack of good books. We homeschool, play instruments, dive into history, and live slowly and intentionally on our little patch of Texas soil. We practice regenerative farming, raise animals, and try our best to steward our land well—for our children, our guests, and future generations. Our hope is that your stay at Walnut Creek Retreat gives you a taste of that peace and simplicity too. Thanks for stopping by—we’d be honored to host you!
