Shiflet House isn’t a massive, faceless corporation. We are a family living out in the wide-open, rugged beauty of Far West Texas. We are a husband-and-wife team who believe that the best things in life are grown from the ground, made with our own hands, and rooted in a deep love for our Creator.

Stephanie & Garvin

"We are honest, reliable and followers of Yeshua/Jesus. Let Garvin help you with diagnosing, repairing, welding or building your next project. OR let Stephanie create for you a one-of-a-kind Aroma/Herbal product."Â
Garvin is a man who knows the value of hard work. With over 43 years of experience in mechanical repair, welding, and heavy equipment, his hands have built and fixed almost everything you can imagine. He knows the Texas land better than anyone, and he understands the grit it takes to thrive in the desert. When Garvin puts his mind and hands to a task, it is built to last.
Stephanie, the CEO and heart of Shiflet House, is the visionary behind our products. She has a deep passion for natural healing, holistic wellness, and creating a home filled with purpose. Stephanie is the one who recognized the incredible, God-given healing properties hidden in the desert landscape right outside our door.
Together, we combine Garvin’s hardworking craftsmanship and Stephanie’s passion for natural wellness and faith-based living to bring you products that truly matter.
The Gift of the Desert: Chaparral Rain
Out here in West Texas, the sun is relentless, but life finds a way. The Chaparral bush (also known as Creosote) is one of the oldest and most resilient living things on earth. For generations, the natural remedies of the desert have been used to soothe, heal, and protect.
We carefully and respectfully wild-harvest the chaparral to create our 100% natural skin salves, and use orgainic, or wildcrafted, ethically sourced Natural & Therapeutic ingredients to make our other products, such as cayenne pain rubs, and mucus remover oils. No synthetic chemicals. No artificial fragrances. Just the pure, raw, healing power of plant materials, and little help from the Texas desert, crafted in small batches to help soothe your body the way nature intended.
Wear Your Faith
Beyond our natural wellness products, Shiflet House is a place to celebrate your faith proudly. Whether you are looking for a mug to start your morning devotionals or a "Name of GOD" t-shirt to wear as a conversation starter, our apparel and gifts are designed for those who walk in the Hebraic Roots of their faith. HRAF Product Line
We believe that your faith shouldn't just be kept inside the walls of a fellowship hall—it should be worn, shared, and lived out every single day.

Come and experience the rugged beauty and spiritual peace of Far West Texas for yourself. Whether you bring your RV or pitch a tent under the vast desert sky, you are welcome to join us for Erev Shabbat, Shabbat, or any of the Feasts and Festivals of YHVH.
The opportunities for connection and renewal are endless. Come experience true Shalom—real, deep peace. Spend a day in silence to listen to the Creator’s voice, devote time to heartfelt prayer, or let your spirit soar with Davidic dance in the open desert. Bring your instruments, raise your voice in song, and join us in praise and worship. There is something truly awesome about lifting up His name in the quiet majesty of the West Texas landscape.
We can’t wait to welcome you home.
 
 
Location
Shiflet House is located in Far West Texas just off Texas State Highway 118, 54 miles south of the City of Alpine and 28 miles north of Study Butte ~ Terlingua, Texas. Shiflet House comprises 80.80 acres of the Chihuahuan Desert. We are just 50 miles from Big Bend National Park, Big Bend State Park, the Rio Grande River, and Mexico.Â
Some interesting facts about BBNP are that over 400K visitors come to view the park each year. It was established in 1944 and comprises 801,163 acres. The Rio Grande River runs through the park. Big Bend is a section of the Rio Grande River from which the Big Bend got its name. BBNP is considered the largest protected region in the Chihuahuan Desert in the United States of America. One hundred eighteen miles of BBNP run along the International border between the USA and Mexico.Â
Wildlife in BBNPÂ
- 450 different species of Birds, which is more than any other National Park in the US.
- 60 different species of Cactus.
- 3600 different species of Insects.
- 12000 different Plant species, many of which are not found anywhere else on the planet!
Here we are in 2014 at Big Bend National Park on top of the mountain where the Lost Mine Trail ends.
The best hike in BBNP is The Lost Mine Trail, which rises 1,100 feet over 2.4 miles (4.8 miles round trip) and provides excellent views of the surrounding mountains and desert. ~ BBNP
If you can't hike, you can still drive through and enjoy the different ecosystems and the ultimate beauty of BBNP.
