CONSTRUCTION OF EAGLE'S NEST LODGE BEGAN MARCH 3, 2008, exactly 4 years after our original land purchase of 15.3 beautiful acres in Washington County, just outside Round Top, Texas.Above, Del and grandson Sam walk on the slab of Eagle's Nest Lodge as our chocolate lab Max looks on. The slab was poured on March 14, 2008.Our ultimate dream of Eagle's Nest Lodge is quickly becoming a reality. It is currently under construction with ceramic tile going in as of November 22, 2008. It has taken us a little over 4 years to get to this point. The Lodge when completed will have 3 Bedrooms for lease plus a meeting room and formal dining room. The lease rooms will be available starting January 2009.

Del & Max (our chocolate lab) investigate the framing of Eagle's Nest Lodge. Hopefully, the lodge will be complete by the fall antique show.

The Austin Stone goes up! The Lodge will have a spacious veranda deck that spans forty feet where guests will be able to enjoy the gorgeous woodland view and catch a great south breeze. More pictures will be posted as the construction continues. Eagle's Nest Lodge will be a great place for a small corporate retreat and meeting place. We will be able to arrange for catered meals or a simple breakfast to our guests.
