Kasa Casa is our fun, offbeat, 'land-yacht' 2 bdrm/1.5 bath house for getaways and sanctuary. Located on hill country-like terrain with miles of trails, Kasa Casa offers perfect privacy for couples, small families, artists (studio next door), and anyone wanting a getaway, personal wellness/cleansing retreat, or me/us time.

Guests can see a small portion of the Fossil Rim Wildlife Center drive-through from the back yard, lucky visitors have seen giraffe browsing and zebras grazing!

This house was designed by a tinkerer and yacht builder! We’ve built a studio next door for musicians, yoga enthusiasts, dancers and others to use.

The main floor is an open area with the kitchen, conversation area, dining table and recently updated in partnership with Sanctuary for Life, a non-profit providing special care to caregivers. The hall leading to the upstairs also brings you to a half-bath and the laundry room area with an infra-red sauna.

Upstairs is the main bedroom with a door onto the sunshine deck, the full bath (shower only) and another living area with a wood-burning stove. The Crow’s Nest bedroom is perched over the living area.

There is covered parking, and a covered patio with a huge Fossil Stone table and bench and propane grill. Jill Sablosky limestone art benches grace the labyrinth area in the front yard. Tom Tischler's bronze, life-sized Galapagos Tortoise greets guests and provides The "Kasa" -Swahili for turtle - in Kasa Casa!

Kasa Casa is just under a mile off the county road which takes you to Fossil Rim’s Overlook and into Glen Rose, but far enough off the road for quiet and solitude.

Kasa Casa is a great starting point to explore the 26 miles of fossil-laden trails on our organically and sustainably managed 900-acre Ranch and Sanctuary.

At Kasa Casa you’ll find:
• About 1200 sq feet indoors in our multi-level house.
• Our biodynamic garden, labyrinth, sculpture garden and enclosed studio just outside the front door
• Old ranch buildings and equipment nearby for fun photographic backgrounds
• 2 upstairs bedrooms with queen beds, and an extra single futon.
• 1 bathroom upstairs (no tub) and the ½ bathroom just up from the main floor.
• Central heat/air, 1 wood-burning stove
• Dishes for 8, nicely equipped kitchen for cooking, preparing meals, gas stove and oven
• A dishwasher
• An outdoor gas grill, propane supplied.
• Indoor and patio tables seat 6 people each.
• Ranch and nature adventures, tours and experiences are available by pre-arrangement. We’ll orient you to our trails for self-guided fun, or with reservations you can schedule fun activities such as feeding our goats and meeting their guard donkey, Zoey, and seeing our other farm animals (chickens and pigs!).
• Our most remote guest house, Mata’Zamo (see VRBO #3589655ha) has a 3-stall horse barn, 2 pens and a pasture right out the door, along with miles of trails. Our 5 bedroom house also has a pasture and covered shed, but it’s bring your own horse!
• High speed internet is available. Kasa Casa’s library reflects our interest in healthy living, sailing, nature, philosophy, wildlife and a healthy landscape.
• We have a total of four guest houses available, spread out across the ranch. Each one is unique enough to provide a very different experience, and can be rented together for large groups, retreats and workshops. Habari (VRBO #432534) is our biggest guest house, with 5 bedrooms and extra futons to sleep as many as 16, it is great for larger groups. Mata’zamo (VRBO# 3589655ha) sits on one of our most spectacular overlooks, is our most remote house, great for singles couples or a family that want to lose themselves in the outdoors.

We welcome you in a way that feels like home away from home, you'll find familiar touches from your own kitchen, including tea, coffee, spices, paper towels, plastic bags - the basics, and maybe new things to try.
Ask us about our NEW farm store! We offer rainbow pasture eggs, fresh produce, USDA grass-fed ground beef, garden salsa, balm jellies, and more!

Our ranch has been managed organically for over twenty years, we keep our houses as non-toxic as possible, too.

It is easy to get lost at Kasa Casa and ranch, lost in thought, lost in time, lost from stress and the city life! All of this and just 90 minutes south of the Dallas-Ft Worth area! We invite you to stay at Kasa Casa or any of our four guest houses, it’s the best cure we know for nature deficit disorder!!!

If you would like early check-ins or late check outs, let us know, and we will send you a special offer ($100 per 2 hour extra block).

NOTE: Kasa Casa is located next door to our multi-purpose studio and our Resilience Garden. While we will not schedule large events in the studio separate from rentals, there will be times when High Hope will offer small workshops and classes in the garden and/or studio. Our rental guests are always welcome to attend, often at a discount! If you want absolute privacy, please inquire about any upcoming events that may be scheduled nearby. You can also rent the studio by the day for events/parties.
