**PLEASE NOTE: Units do not have their own running water or bathrooms. A shared bathroom (2 private stalls) on the hill is available. As well as the shower house (4 private stalls) at the base of the hill.

A-FRAME ACCESS
Each A-frame is tucked into the hillside, meaning getting to them is a little bit of an adventure to trek to. But that’s why you’re here, right?! We recommend packing light. Please refer to the map in the photos to see the specific location of the A-frame you are looking to book.

THE LAND
**You are entering a wild place, we ask that you treat it with respect and awareness both for your safety and the wellbeing of the land. Please be honest with yourself, if the possibility of seeing some of our natural residents such as spiders, scorpions, and snakes would be a serious stress to you, we might not be the place for you**

Guests will have access to all 44 acres of land. There are rustic, hilly trails that run throughout the property. We ask that you stay on trails as often as possible to minimize impact on the native flora and fauna and to maximize your safety.

THE ETHOS
We have a deep respect for the land we are living upon and the living creatures we are sharing it with. To us, this means being respectful of the animals and plants, being mindful of our water and energy usage and furthering our education of our environment as a way to show her love and respect.

-Dark Sky-
We are so incredibly lucky to have a beautiful dark night sky above us! In our opinion it's one of the most magical parts of this property. In order to maximize the magic, we ask that porch light are turned off as often as possible and provided flashlights are used on their third warmest setting.

-Critters-
The Charmadillo is a chemical-free environment, meaning there is a chance you will encounter an unwanted guest in your space. We provide a natural cedar oil spray that will stop these little creatures in their tracks. Its a good practice to give your space a look over in all the nooks and crannies and keep a mindful eye on the ground as you explore the property.

-Water-
Our wonderful aquifer would greatly appreciate your thoughtfulness when it comes to your water use during your stay. The choice to have communal restrooms with Water Sense fixtures was intentional to be mindful of our water use in this drought impacted region.

OTHER DETAILS TO NOTE

-Wifi-
The Charmadillo is a place to ground into the beautiful location, drop into self and authentically connect to others. To support this, Wi-Fi can only be found in the KITCHEN and THE DEN. Cell service is minimal in the valley where the kitchen/shower house is located, but rather strong on the hillside where the A-frames are located.

-Dogs-
If you choose to bring your pup please read over the House Rules and let your host know they will be joining you. We ask that leashes are used at all times outside of the unit, in order to minimize the impact on native species as well as minimize disturbing your fellow guests who are less comfortable with dogs.
*The magic of this place is the quiet and tranquility, we ask that you be honest with yourself about how your dog would fit into this space*

-First Aid and Safety-
A basic first aid kit can be found in the communal kitchen cabinets. Smoke detectors are installed in each unit. A fire extinguisher and fire blanket are located in the kitchen. Additionally a fire suppression system has been installed over the range in the kitchen. The Center Point Volunteer Fire Department is 10 minutes away. The nearest hospital is approximately 25 minutes away in Kerrville.

SHARING SPACE

-Your Fellow Guests-
Part of the magic of this space is the opportunity to meet your fellow travelers! You will be sharing all amenities: bathrooms, kitchen, pools, sauna, and communal spaces. We ask that everyone be respectful of each other, clean up after themselves in communal spaces, and be mindful of your noise level after 10pm.

-Your Host-
Your host lives on site and is here to enhance your experience! I will not intrude on your space, but rather be around if needed. Having a host on site allows for additional services and hospitality touches. Airbnb messaging or texts are the best way to get ahold of me if needed!

Cancellation Policy: One hundred percent (100.00%) of the total booking charges will be refunded if the cancellation is made more than 14 days prior to the arrival date of the reservation. For cancellations made within 14 days prior to the arrival date, no refund will be issued.

Howdy, y'all! My name is Sarah and I am the founder and host of The Charmadillo. I left years of wilderness guiding and working in fine dining restaurants in order to live out my dream of creating an authentic hospitality business that connects people back to nature, themselves and each other!
