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!

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

Romantic getaway
My wife and I had a wonderful time in your tent. We loved the jacuzzi, the fire place on the porch, and just the overall relaxing environment. We really disconnected and had a special time. Thank you for being so hospitable, and helping us find places to hike while we were there.

Glamping (pretend camping) for our 39th anniversary
The care and thought that Denise and Scott put into their property to ensure their guests are comfortable and have everything they need is unparalleled. The larger resorts should take note, they could learn a lot from Denise and Scott. We had a very refreshing, comfortable and relaxing vacation, “Safari for the Soul” offers it all. There is so much to do in the local area and Denise is an encyclopedia with detailed information for all of it. We chose to not go anywhere and relax in the tent, sit by the fire pit with our morning coffee, and enjoy the peacefulness of the front deck watching and listening to the wildlife. Had we not been so lazy, Denise had plenty of information on the many nearby restaurants, parks and local activities available. The tent itself is both clean and comfortable with A/C and heat and many extra touches to make the guests feel comfortable. Everything needed to grill outdoor meals including dishes and glassware is provided along with a small refrigerator, microwave and coffee maker with coffee. The outdoor bathroom and shower are amazing and private, stocked with quality linens and soaps, and hot water forever. Can’t forget the jacuzzi either. It was the best while coffee was brewing in the morning and with a glass of wine in the evening. It isn’t often to find a private vacation rental where the owners take as much pride and care for the property and their guests’ comfort as we found here. There’s no question, this one sets the standard.

A true Safari for the Soul
A peaceful and memorable glamping experience. Very comfortable accommodation with an incredible “bathroom” *spoiler alert* it’s not a room at all!!! If you enjoy waking up to the sound of birds chirping and watching the deer while you have your morning cuppa or your fave evening sips, this is the place to be. I’d give this property 6 stars (if that was a thing.) Highly recommended!

Adventurous getaway!
The pictures accurately depict the tent and furnishings. We splurged to have an "adventure" and it was that! We loved sitting on the deck, watching the river, and watching the deer come through. The tent is incredibly sturdy as it was a very windy evening and although it can get noisy with the wind gusts, we felt very safe and secure. Our host made sure to greet us with a bottle of wine and there were beautiful roses in the tent. I thought the tent would be a little more secluded and private on the property, but it is not. Also, on hot days, even with the A/C and fans going, the tent does heat up -- not unbearable, but be prepared for that eventuality. Fun to try something different, the bed is very comfortable and all the special touches, mood lighting, light show on the ceiling are very fun!

Perfect spot for a short getaway
This was really a unique property. The site is on the property of the host's home. However, it is set apart just a bit, down the hill and feels very private. We really enjoyed the change of pace. Glamping was a great combination of being outdoors, under the stars, then crawling into a spacious, warm bed.
