Private Room IN Retreat
1935 Quaint Hill Country Retreat House near Lake Buchanan Private Upstairs Apt.
About this space
A few blocks from "downtown" Burnet. And very short drive to Spider Mountain. 1 hour to DT Austin.1935 Historic former School House right on Main Street USA. This is classic Texas Hill Country: quiet nights, lots of churches, friendly neighbors, grand old oak trees, and a wood plank swing off a tall old tree. You will love the solid safe feeling about this home. Hardwood floors throughout. High bead-board ceilings. The living room has a wood burning stove, keyboards, old fashioned analog record player, some hand drums and a large screen tv with a ROKU device you can pair up to. If you feel like stretching out on the comfy couch with a good book, I offer a massive library with cookbooks, health books, religion, tesla and esoteric topics, permaculture, survival topics, art books and more…
The space
You will be staying in the Private Upstairs - attic - Studio Apartment. You can park right out in front on the shady street for free and the front door acts like your own private entrance, (I use a side entrance). The stairway to the apartment is right off of the in-kitchen dining room My rooms are on the opposite side of the house, so will feel very private up there. The main room roughly 11×15. The bathroom 8×10 including a large walk-in closet area.
Roughly 200 square feet total. Also, I have a Master Suite Bedroom downstairs with two beds if you need more space to spread out - but that is a separate listing.

United States . Joined in December 2015
I am Mary-Margaret, but my nickname is anand (pronounced ah-nahnd). I was born in Los Angeles where I became a Mid Century Modern fan. I have restored several historic homes. When I travel, I like to find local grown food, unique gourmet markets, waterfalls and formal gardens. I also like to find cold drinking springs and wild hot springs for soaking. I'm a published author and also am available as an Essene Minister Health Coach to support unwanted behaviors. I was a "SuperHost" on another platform for 10+ years, but I prefer to only rent to fellow plant-based friends now.
