We invite you to visit & play with us for a day, a week, a month, or longer! Get a taste of our sustainable lifestyle and get inspiration for living the life of your dreams.
The Garden of Eden is a members-only private club.
ALL visitors, volunteers, guests, and potential inhabitants are required to complete the membership process before coming through our gate, with the exception that our short term guests may fill out our User Agreement instead if they prefer.
This page showcases the spaces we have available for overnight guests!
Listed prices for each space are seasonal and subject to change.
Stated price is for ONE person for ONE night, and includes cleaning and other fees. Each additional guest (including children!) is $10 / night. We also offer weekly, monthly, and cash discounts!
We can also consider work trade in exchange for the nightly value for those volunteers who wish to stay with us longer than a few hours! Please use the button below for more info on volunteering.
Because we are a thriving ecovillage, we always have many interesting people around!
Our spaces are very quiet, but there is a lot going on. We have large gardens and many projects at most times. There are lots of animals, bugs, and nature as well as enjoyable and interesting activities.
As our guest, you are welcome join in the fun with us, or you may simply relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings!
Guest Access for All of our Visitors
We have many sustainable features on our property and invite our guests to partake of them! We do not use air conditioning in our communal areas, although this is available in private rental spaces. We use composting toilets to create dank soil that becomes vibrant plants, but we alternatively have modern toilets available too. We have an incredibly refreshing outdoor well shower that pumps cool water straight from the ground, but there is a hot shower available inside as well. Please be aware that wifi is available, but it presently does not reach to the rental areas in the back of our property - however, we are constantly upgrading our realities and plan for this to change.
We also grow and prepare beyond organic, world class cuisine. This is available to all guests for a reasonable donation. Food can be pre-ordered and customized or simply partaken of if and when it is desirable and convenient.
We can also provide wonderful relaxation or educational retreat experiences! From yoga and massage to gardening and amazing cooking classes, we can fully customize your stay with us to give you exactly what you seek. Please contact us to negotiate the details.
We currently have several spaces on offer for overnight guests!
Please call, text, or email to make reservations.
Cob Cottage
Our Cob Cottage is a hand-sculpted dwelling that combines the rustic feel of an indigenous hut with the basic comforts of modern living.
Set at the edge of the grounds of our small but busy eco-village, the view is pastoral and quiet, yet it's only minutes to the DFW metroplex. Enjoy the tranquility of our bamboo forest from the screened-in porch!
The cottage is beautiful and very private though it is simple. This is for people who want a quiet, natural experience.
There is a single private composting toilet for your convenience, and another communal facility near the main house. Alternatively, you can use the shared indoor bathroom in the main house if you wish.
You are welcome to refresh yourself in our outdoor well shower in the summer or the indoor fire-heated shower if conditions permit.
There is electricity in the cottage, and we can provide a small AC unit for summer or space heater in winter as optional amenities for a small donation.
We invite you to explore and enjoy our sustainable alternatives for cooling & heating, like our refreshing outdoor well shower or hot rocks heated on the wood burning stove!
Bamboo Bungalow
Our Bamboo Bungalow is adorable and private, nestled and secluded within our bamboo forest!
It is an escape from modern life, yet only minutes away from the metroplex.
There is a full size loft with a memory foam mattress topper, and a couch that folds into a full size bed, so this space can comfortably accomodate up to 4 people!
As part of our ecovillage culture, we are dedicated to living sustainably, and the bungalow is completely hand built of salvaged and repurposed materials!
Electricity does run to the bamboo bungalow, but heating and/or cooling are not included as standard amenities. We can however provide a space heater in winter or a small AC unit for the summer months for a small donation.
There is a private composting toilet just outside equipped with sawdust, hand sanitizer, TP and baby wipes, plus a large pitcher of water for washing. You may choose to use the indoor shared bathroom with hot shower and running water at the main house if you prefer.
Wifi does not reach to the back of our property where the bungalow is located, but you can come to the main house to connect.
We will provide a reusable water bottle filled with reverse osmosis filtered water in your space. You may refill this with filtered water from our kitchen and use for the duration of your stay so you don't have to go to the store and buy bottled water (which is not only poor quality water often no better than tap water, but is also packaged in disposable plastics that harm health and pollute the earth). If you would like to take the sustainable water bottle with you on your journey, they are available in exchange for a small donation.
Teeny Tiny Trailer
Our delightful Teeny Tiny Trailer is a cozy retreat to step away from the city and into a natural life!
The space is a permanently parked wee little trailer roughly 8' x 12'. Though it may be small in size, it is big on charm!
Our design faerie queen dusted the space with her magical pixie dust, spreading good cheer in every nook and cranny! Bright fabrics in fun designs envelop the windows and bed, and fluffy cushions and blankies invite you to relax in comfort and joy.
The double bed (with memory foam mattress topper!), multiple seating options, desk, and storage space can comfortably accomodate 1 or 2 guests.
You can access the shared indoor bathroom of our main house, equipped with standard modern amenities and running water. OR try out an element of our sustainable lifestyle and partake of our composting toilets or refreshing outdoor well shower!
Power runs to our teeny tiny trailer, so there is plenty of lighting and you can charge your devices.
Please note that wifi does not reach to the back of the property where this space is located, but you are welcome to come to the main house or back deck to hop on our wifi network.
Heating and/or cooling are not included as standard amenities. We can however provide a space heater in winter, or a small AC unit for the summer months for a small donation.
The teeny tiny trailer does not have running water, but we have high quality reverse osmosis filtered water for drinking or washing available in the main house.
Cozy Trailer
This travel trailer is cozy and private, rustic and simple!
Our Cozy Trailer can accommodate up to 4 guests. There is a bedroom area with a queen bed, and a pull out couch in the living room area.
As part of our eco-village culture, we are dedicated to living sustainably, and the trailer is set up with this in mind.
Electricity runs to the trailer, but our wifi signal does not reach the back of the property where the trailer is situated. AC for summer, or a space heater in winter, are optional amenities we can add on for a small donation.
There is no running water in the trailer, and the restroom facilities are a private composting toilet just outside equipped with sawdust, hand sanitizer, TP, and baby wipes, plus a large pitcher of water for washing. Running water is available in the main house. You may choose to use the indoor shared bathroom at the main house if you prefer.
There is an outdoor shower powered by well-water for bathing. It is crisp and refreshing on a hot day, and brisk in any other weather. This is another excellent option for staying cool in the summer!
Teeny Tiny Homes
Delight in the charm of our Teeny Tiny Homes, repurposed from wooden shipping containers and 100% upcycled materials!
Our teeny tiny homes are rustic and simple, with our highest value of sustainability in mind. We currently have 2 of these cuties available - a yellow one and a pink one!
They are not connected to electricity, but arrangements can be made to do so for small donations.
The teeny tiny homes do not come with access to our main house, so you are welcome to use our outdoor facilities for a truly sustainable experience.
You can use our refreshing outdoor well shower as often as you like, or may have access to the indoor hot shower for a $3 per shower donation!
The outdoor well shower pumps 55 degree water straight from the Earth! It is crisp and refreshing on a hot day, and invigoratingly brisk in any other weather.
We have outdoor composting toilets that you are welcome to use, and we will use your "waste" to make EARTH!!
Wifi does not reach to the back of our property where the teeny tiny homes are located, but you are welcome to come to the back deck to connect to the wifi network or to charge your devices.
These units are similar to a hostel. You will have access to our outdoor kitchen, outdoor cooktop, and fridge space.
For all of our rental spaces:
We ask all adult guests to submit a photo of your valid ID before or upon arrival, and to either activate a Membership or sign a User Agreement for entry. The User Agreement includes our house rules, as well as a waiver of liability and a non-disclosure agreement to protect our privacy and the safety of all of our inhabitants and guests.

We keep our gate locked at all times to ensure safety and privacy for ourselves and our guests. Visitors are free to come and go as they please, of course - just give us a heads up so we can have someone attend the gate for you! OR you can park outside the gate for greater ease and convenience.
Please give us at least a 5-10 minute heads up when you are ready to check out so we can have someone check your space with you to ensure you didn’t leave anything behind, turned off all lights and fans, and that nothing is missing or damaged.
Please be sure to read our House Manual when you confirm your booking, as it has lots of info about our standards for our home and property.
We have a washer that you are welcome to use for a small donation per load. We have a clothesline for sun-drying clothes.
We also offer unique healing services like massage, sound healing, Reiki, and reflexology by donation for $80-100/hour. Please let us know if you would like to schedule a private therapy as part of your stay!
We do our very best not only to live our lives well, but to provide the highest standard of sustainability - from the sourcing of our organic products, to storing, to shipping - and we offer the most sustainable products you can buy online!
HERE'S HOW & WHY we use our lifestyle to build a world we want to live in, and why we believe these to be the most full spectrum sustainable products available!
