About this property

Luxury Hill Country Yurt, Hot Tub, FirePit, Deer

One of the top 5 romantic destinations in Austin for couples to celebrate their honeymoon, anniversary, birthday, or get engaged ! Imagine taking a warm shower while looking outside at the hill country view and catching a glimpse of deer walking by. Or waking up in the morning to the deer grazing in the hills below you, having coffee on your patio, and being one with nature or gazing at the bright stars above you while hot tubbing listening to your favorite music with a glass of wine.

This is truly the a one of a kind romantic glamping experience! Safari for the Soul is for one thing-to "Recharge and Reconnect." Couples come here to make memories...celebrate anniversaries, honeymoons, birthdays or just escape from the rut.

This is a fully air conditioned/heated 400 sq. ft luxury glamping tent directly on the Pedernales River with direct river access in non drought times.

Like most of Austin and Lake Travis, the river is in a drought right now so there is a small creek with beautiful hill country views.

Hill Country Glamping at its finest and only 19 miles from downtown Austin! "Safari for the Soul" is on over 6 acres tucked away for your exclusive, one of a kind, romantic bucket list retreat!

When is the last time you grilled out under the stars and snuggled near an outdoor camp fire?

Pet Friendly: Unlike many places, we love dogs! $50.00 total pet fee for small to medium breed dogs. Large dogs subject to approval so please let host know if you plan to bring a dog. Your dog must be people and dog friendly.

Special Occasions: Charcuterie Board and wine available upon request for additional fee. Host can also help arrange in tent massage from local vendors.

Come through the black gates and park in last driveway on the left near the golf cart. Use the golf cart to load your things and drive down the black road to the left to your tent.

Hosts live on site and are usually available for last minute needs. We do love to interact with our guests when they are open to that. We have a medium size friendly dog, Spike that tends to visit the tent area.

Lyft and Uber or taxi is offered but I suggest a car rental. Boar and/or jet ski rentals nearby at Briarcliff Marina in season.

Entire property when not in a drought has two boat docks + 2-two person kayaks use and golf cart to drive to your tent. Note: As of 3/2023 river is dry.

Owners do live on site but do not have a direct view to your hot tub our bathroom area and only partial view to your deck.

No breakfast is provided but you can use grill side burner to cook eggs or use the microwave. Great breakfast taco trailer 5 min away on corner of old ferry/Pacebend road.

We have an outside sink installed for washing your dishes.

Beautiful and relaxing!
Super cute glamping experience. All the benefits of staying in a house mixed with the fun of camping. Owner was very communicative and even turned the porch lights on for us when we were getting back after dark.

Great getaway
This place was beautiful and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay even though it was during a heat wave in Texas. Tent was cool, dogs loved the freedom and space and the night under the stars was magical. Definitely will come back soon!

2 day getaway
The property is situated on the homeowners property but is away from the main house. It overlooks the river and the view is gorgeous. Right now the riverbed is dry to no rain but don’t let that keep you from booking. The tent is well maintained and has all the conveniences you need. I would recommend bringing your binoculars to see the deer in the mornings. They are close but you can view the riverbed and other wooded areas. The outside bathroom was really cool. There are curtains if you want privacy. The hot tub was nice. There is a small mini fridge and a comfy couch. The bed is so comfortable. It had ac and floor dabs so you don’t need to worry about being hit or cold. It’s is relatively convenient to stores and close to restaurants. If you want a quiet getaway this is it

About the host

Hosted by Denise Poteat

Host profile image
My husband, Scott and I, moved to Spicewood with the intention to share our love and passion for nature, travel, the water, and meeting new people! We have two young adventurous boys and two friendly dogs, Porsche and Spike.
We are foodies, extremely active in water skiing, snow skiing, dancing, and working out. Love love beaches and scuba diving/zip lining.

Why they chose this property

We are in a "lakey area" where we an do anything we want. Where else can you stay in a luxury treehouse style glamping tent with all the amenities of a hotel and have direct access to the Pedernales river only 10 min. away, hill country views and be one with nature as you take a private warm shower. We wanted to create a memorable glamping experience where you can feel like you are remote but are really only 19 miles from downtown Austin. We are keeping in weird in Spicewood.

What makes this property unique

Treehouse style Outdoor Heated Shower w/ open window view to nature
Only 10 min from Pacebend Park for swimming, boating kayaking, and fishing
Heated Outdoor Hot Tub
45 minutes from Fredericksburg
Very private and only 35 min to downtown Austin
