The Space:
The Studio is completely private, a large one-bedroom apartment taking up the first level of the home. Private entrance through a set of double French doors opens up to the spacious, airy suite that features a pink upholstered king-size bed with luxury linens, a charming pink and black vanity dresser, and a sitting area with a daybed and smart TV (with WiFi streaming channels). The daybed can be used as a twin bed for an additional guest ($25 linen fee applies).
The suite has been lovingly remodeled with polished concrete floors, metal industrial beams, concrete brick and siding walls, and a ceiling fan. A small wet bar area offers the conveniences of a retro mini-fridge and a cart with a coffee maker, microwave, and plates/mugs/glasses/silverware. The remodeled bathroom is just as glamorous with its gloss-black floor and custom mid-century paint designs. It features a large built-in shower with glass doors and marble tile and the show-stopper: the ORIGINAL vintage pink pedestal sink from the 1950s house!
The entire apartment is filled with images of classic Hollywood movie stars such as Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn, and fun mid-century decorative touches (including many true vintage antiques, such as the fab gold and glass chandelier).
The upstairs part of the home is a separate two-bedroom apartment (which can also be rented separately), with its own entrance on the other side of the house.
All of this sits on Stardust Retreat’s 3+ acres filled with towering oak trees and offering amazing city skyline views (the nighttime lights are magical). Sunrises & sunsets are stunning, as is the clear country night sky, perfect for stargazing. The expansive front porch is lovely for the views or bird & wildlife watching while enjoying some coffee or wine, and you will find a pair of high-quality binoculars to assist.
Available for your outdoor use is a small charcoal grill and a collection of outdoor recreation such as ladderball, cornhole, racquetball and skeeball. There is plenty of parking in the huge circular driveway for boats, ATVs, trailers or even campers/RVs (no hook-ups available).
The location is very private — the dead-end residential street has only two other homes, spread far apart. The effect is seclusion & relaxation, while being minutes from anything you need in town.

This downstairs suite is exclusively for booked guests, with its own separate/private access. Other guests may be staying in the upstairs two-bedroom suite (separate access at the other side of the house). Guests will have full use of the 2+ acre property.
I live off-site, but have a local manager and I'm fully available by telephone or message/email for anything you might need. The local person is on call should there be anything that requires immediate, on-site assistance. A guidebook to the house and the adorable town of Coleman is in the house.
You've heard of Marfa, right? Don't want to drive all the way out there? Coleman is destined to be the next Marfa (but, shh, let's keep the secret!). This cute small town is the perfect Hill Country / West Texas getaway. It's undergoing a renaissance with a wine bar (second on the way), fantastic restaurants and unique boutique stores (seriously, the dining and shopping have been written up in magazines, including Texas Monthly). It's also home to a fab mid-century modern store with high-quality pieces and a vintage vinyl shop, and longtime standbys like the Owl Drugstore, with its old-fashioned soda fountain (the second oldest in Texas, serving since 1923) and the best burgers around! The main street, Commercial Avenue, is only two minutes down the road from Stardust.
Nearby outdoor recreation and sportsmanship is plentiful, with 6 major lakes including O.H. Ivie, Hord's Creek, & Lake Brownwood State Park. The area is known as the "Hunting Capital of Texas."
The retreat itself is on an extremely quiet, private residential street that sits high up on a hill overlooking the town of Coleman. The street is a dead-end road with only two other homes - the next-door Atomic Ranch House that is also part of Stardust Retreat, and one other private home past us at the end of the street. The Stardust Retreat property is spread over three-and-a-half rolling, wooded acres; therefore the entire property is very peaceful, quiet and private.
Some of the top spots to check out around town are:
* The Owl Drugstore & Grill (second-oldest soda fountain in Texas!)
* Rancho Loma Vineyards RLV Wine Bar
* Rancho Pizzeria
* Black Cur Steak
* Bonneville Mid-Century Antiques & Vinyl Record Shop
* Prickly Pear Boutique & Cafe
* Sinclair Bakery
* Cactus Coffee
* Lake Coleman, O.H. Ivie & Hord's Creek
