Studio, creative retreats and Bees

The Creek Road homestead is home -- home to those that have always lived there, to the traveler, to the new and long time friend, to those in need of rejuvenation, those looking for a place to create.

WORKSHOPS

The process of learning and creating plays a major part in the way we strive to live. Hosting workshops is one way we can make that a part of your lives and provide an opportunity to others. The property is a wonderful place for writing, music, art and photography. Check out our event page for scheduled workshops. If you are looking for a place to host your own workshop, please contact us. We would love to collaborate with you. Find more information on the Artist Studio page

ARTIST RESIDENCY/RETREATS

Artist often need time and space. At Creek Road Homestead, we provide both, and a little extra that might be needed. Our 1600sq ft Studio space is ideal for creating a custom-designed residency/retreat. For photographers, there's a natural light studio, a camera room with proper lighting, a dark room, and a dedicated space to focus on projects. Painters, printmakers (we have an etching press), multimedia artists, bookmakers, creative writers, and songwriters can all find their creative sanctuary here. The studio is equipped with a full bath and kitchen for your convenience. Whether you seek solitude or plan a collaborative stay with a friend for mutual inspiration, our location in Dripping Springs, TX, nestled on 20 acres, offers a serene country setting while also being conveniently close to town for any necessities.

We provide guests with two convenient onsite lodging choices: a cozy small suite nestled within the studio or a spacious full studio apartment ideal for a couple's retreat. Each option ensures a comfortable and relaxing stay during your visit to Creek Road Homestead.

Reach out via email, we are happy to start dreaming with you to create perfect retreat. 

DINNER AND HOUSE SHOWS

We hope to create a space for chef prepared dinners, poetry readings, house concerts, small dinner parties and artist to share their work. We are open to possibilities and collaboration. Send us an email and let’s visit. Be sure and check the Event page for what is up next.

Creek Road Homestead is a working Apiary

If you take a stroll around the homestead you will most likely run into a bee or two. On the far side of the property is the bee yard, 12 hives full of busy bees. Some years we have plenty of honey to share, other times, just enough for the bees to feed themselves through the winter. We do sell your honey when we can so email us if you are interested.

The Hatton House sits on 20 acres of beautiful Texas Hill Country land, just 2 miles outside of Dripping Springs, TX.

The original house was built around 1857, restored and added onto by the previous owners, Ester and A.R. Hatton in 1942. Through the last 20 years we have maintained, repaired and added few "up-grades", always keeping in mind the charm and character of Ester and A.R. Decorated with many of their own belongings, pictures, books and furnishing, you get a hint into the lives of this unique couple.

We spent several years offering this home as a Bed and Breakfast. To us that means creating and offering you a space of comfort. For feeding our guest well. To provide a place for our to roam. Take your time to walk down to the creek, smell the budding lavender field, and pick some fresh veggies from the garden. A place to spend time in nature with family and friends.

We Currently are taking a break from Hosting the Bed and Breakfast. Check back in the future to see when we reopen
