Amazing Stay

We had an amazing experience at Sinya. It's beautiful, down to each well-thought out detail. The food was spectacular, the scenery (even in winter) was perfect, the space itself was so unique. We loved it; were referred by friends and will be referring friends in the future. We're literally in the middle of a move across the country and with so much going on thought I would be unable to unwind, but Sinya strikes the perfect chord that allowed both my husband and I to relax and enjoy a last couple of days in the Texas hill country. I'm so glad we found this place.

Sinya is a little piece of heaven in the Texas Hill country. It's the perfect place if you love nature, peace, privacy, and getting-away-from-it-all.. without surrendering luxury and comfort. Lynn has made sure to think of every detail and her careful selections in the decor make your stay comfortable and you will feel pampered and relaxed from the moment you arrive. The unique accommodations, the beautiful setting, and Lynn's attention to detail added up to a wonderful experience. We are already making plans to visit again.
Owner response:Thank you! We are already looking forward to having you stay again - you are always welcome at Sinya!

Sinya was the best place for us to spend our honeymoon. We are 28 years old and we both completely loved this place. Lynn was a great host, always on top of everything. Things were spotless and it had everything we needed, it was all and more than we expected. The place was secluded, and I can honestly say there was not 1 thing we would change about our stay. We didn't stay for too long (Sunday through Wednesday)but it was just great. This will be our yearly getaway for our yearly anniversary!

We are so happy to have discovered this gem of the Texas Hill Country! Our trip was to celebrate my birthday and our 38th wedding anniversary and Sinya was the perfect place. The accommodations were exquisite, the outdoor shower was a unique and fun "extra," the breakfasts were delicious and beautifully presented. The setting is so tranquil and relaxing; we spent a lot of time on the veranda talking, sipping wine and coffee, and watching the splendid array of colorful birds (the hummingbirds were amazing!) and other wildlife. We highly recommend Sinya for a relaxing, romantic time away from it all!

When you need to unwind; refocus; remember why you were placed on this planet and realign your priorities, Sinya is calling you. The time spent away from the rat-race will bring peace to your mind and solace to your soul. Yes, it’s camping…but far from primitive. Just do it. You will thank yourself later.

Sinya is such an amazing place...a wonderful place to relax, restore, reconnect and contemplate. The tent itself is incredible, luxurious and accomodating, decorated beautifully, and with wonderful things to read and discover. It's as if you're in a treehouse...the surrounding scenery is beautiful, and the veranda is wonderful for birdwatching, getting up close and personal with hummingbirds, drinking wine, reading in the hammock, and just daydreaming and meditating. Lynn, the owner, is delightful and such a gracious hostess. Her breakfasts are beyond description...so delicious and presented so beautifully. You will absolutely love Sinya.

African Safari in Texas

Staying at Sinya you will feel like royalty or as though you are a character in a movie. It is truly a magical experience. Every detail has been carefully planned and thought out. Lynn’s goal of bringing a little piece of Africa to Texas seems to be achieved. We were concerned that we would be wilting since we were there in 100 degree temps but we were very comfortable. The AC keeps up! I could go on and on about all of the details such as the bed, sheets, etc but to sum it up Sinya is a 6 star resort. It is an experience that will make you feel very fortunate to have experienced. My recommendation is be sure and order breakfast it is stellar. I would order any kind of room service that is provided after the wonderful meal we enjoyed. We are already planning our next trip.
Owner response:Wow! Thank you so much for such a great review - I'm thrilled you enjoyed yourselves so much! And thank you for giving us a chance in spite of this crazy, hot weather. As I've said many, many times before: It's the toughest "job" I've ever LOVED! I could never have had the opportunity to have met so many wonderful people as I have through Sinya. We're already looking forward to your return. All the best, Lynn, Simba, and Brando

My husband and I just returned from our second stay at Sinya. What a wonderful place! All the great aspects of camping – being close to nature, the wind blowing through the tent all night and listening to the birds sing in the morning – but all the comforts of a fabulous bed and breakfast – comfortable décor, super comfortable bed, full shower (including an outdoor shower), refrigerator. But more than that is the utter relaxation you fall under immediately upon arrival. We had plans to leave Sinya for other activities during the day, but we decided to skip everything and just spend 2 full days on the wonderful veranda just relaxing. Lynn has truly thought of everything to make sure you have the perfect stay and is a fabulous host. If you need anything, she is there to help! Don’t need anything and you have the place to yourself uninterrupted. We recommend Sinya to everyone we can! It’s truly a unique and wonderful experience. We have already booked for a third stay!
