Connecting art and nature allows guests to have more immersive experiences, inviting the idea that one must evolve to become a better version of themselves. Throughout the unique vacation home, you will find inspiring themes of self-care, acceptance, discipline, connection, accountability, determination, creativity, with eco-friendly vibes. The 58-acre preserve is being managed to focus on biodiversity and wildlife health; this property is a wildlife release site for injured and rehabilitated wildlife.

We prioritize guest wellness by having the Art Lodge cleaned by professional cleaners who use eco-friendly products, pay a fair wage, and have serious attention to detail.  While we adore animals, we currently cannot accommodate domestic animals due to our resident senior dog, Peanut, who you may see somewhere on the property during your stay.

For art enthusiasts, the Sculptdecor Shop, run by master sculptor Dustin Weatherby, is not far from the Art lodge.

He also does traveling live art performances for events and schools. Feel free to stop by the shop and say hello—our home is on the same 58-acre property. Although you cannot see our home from the Art Lodge, we're often nearby to assist you.
