Lost Horizon Texas is an exclusive wildlife-oriented glamping retreat in the Texas hill country. The ranch is home to 18 species of free-roaming exotic animals and a healthy population of native Texas fauna. Guests also enjoy private access to some of the best fly fishing and water quality on the Lampasas River. With just two suites, Lost Horizon Texas maintains a private, exclusive, and off-the-beaten-path feel. Each accommodation is perched upon its private secluded valley plateau with exceptional tree-top views 450ft away and hidden from the other. Comfort, peace, and connection with land were carefully considered in the design of both "The Hideout" and "The Satao". You feel this place and will never forget it. Each one includes everything you would expect, a kitchen, an adjacent dedicated private photo blind a safe distance from the watering hole and feeder in the valley below, a rock fire pit & grill, comfortable outdoor chairs, and a large custom soaking tub. Each suite also boasts something unique adding to the sense of being somewhere very special. insta: @losthorizontx 5 private acres within a 1700-acre exotic wildlife sanctuary and dispersed community

Our stay in the safari tent was really nice. Exactly as pictured and described! The setup was comfortable, clean, and had everything we needed for a camping trip without the hassle of packing heavy gear. The bathroom with the powered rooftop was such a great bonus and made the experience even better. We loved the balance of being close to nature while still having all the little comforts covered.

Lost horizon was a great experience for us. I’m in my 40’s and we enjoy camping but I am not into communal living or multiple units close together. This offered the seclusion we wanted and a fair price. You will need a 4x4 vehicle or at least a full size suv to get down the last stretch of road to the sites. Everything else is just as noted on the site and within the website for the property. Don’t hesitate to book!

We had a wonderful time staying at Lost Horizon with our two pups! We enjoyed the quiet and serene surroundings, saw mule deer and antelopes, and felt 100% rejuvenated and recharged. Jeremy and Stacie were kind and communicative hosts. I would recommend Lost Horizon to anyone looking for a getaway from urban living.

The Baithouse was so adorable, perfect for me and my husband. The camp hosts were amazing, especially due to all the major flooding happening around us, kept us updated to current conditions, etc We had an amazing experience even though we didn’t get to explore much due to the weather. Will definitely be back!

I spent 3 nights in the cozy cacti container with my dog and can't wait to return again. The cabin provides all of the comforts of home and the land surrounding the container home is absolutely gorgeous. The front porch is a perfect spot for bird watching and its an easy hike down to the water. If I were to create my own ideal getaway cabin, it would be just like this place. Its perfect!

Escape to true tranquility on our 5 secluded acres, nestled within a 1700-acre wildlife sanctuary. With just 2 private accommodations—The Hideout & The Satao—each tucked 450 ft apart, you'll enjoy peace, privacy, & nature's beauty all to yourself.

We had the best time at the cozy cacti container! It was beautiful and super easy to find! The water was close by and the host were extremely helpful and friendly. They thought of everything we might need and more. The bathtub on the front porch was a super fun addition and I can’t wait to book another stay here!

This cabin was definitely cozy, but it fit our needs for a weekend away. The kitchen was good for making breakfast tacos, and the bed was very comfortable. The soaking tub was a great way to relax during the day. I’d definitely recommend it to any couples looking for a retreat.

I LOVED the Bait House! It was just the right size for a getaway with myself and my dog. I think 2 adults max would be comfortable here. It had everything I needed and more. The outdoor shower was a delightful experience. The only downside for me was they have chickens and roosters on the property and I was awoken by the cock-a-doodle-do before dawn every morning. The house was is located near a few parks so we were able to enjoy hiking within 10 minutes from the property. Downtown Marble Falls is also about 10 min away if you want local dining experiences, which I did grab takeout from 2 different restaurants while I was there. Overall it was a nice little getaway and great location!

This is a very cool glamping destination! My family of 5 + 2 dogs loved staying out at Stacie & Jeremy’s location. The river access is within the gated neighborhood and we went there 4 times to play. Took advantage of the proximity to Colorado Bend St Park too. Very responsive owner though we didn’t have any issues. We’ve done a lot of camping and glamping over the years, this one ranks near the top.

We loved our stay!! The Container was clean, super comfortable, quiet, and well appointed.. There was deer in the yard every morning and evening, and huge owl hung out in the tree next to the fire pit. Jeremy was super easy to work with and responsive to all our questions. There is a lot to do in the surrounding areas (which he will fill you in on with a very detailed list) and we were only able to scratch the surface in our 3 days there! Even our dog loved his time there! We would definitely recommend a stay here!
