Weekend Trip to Hill Country Glamping Photo Safari

I loved staying at this site. The glamp site is well equipped with everything that you need, and the guidebook is amazing at making sure you are aware of directions and information. Would stay here again!

Gorgeous place! We got to see some beautiful wildlife and heard coyotes aplenty. Every evening we watched the sunset from the deck. It was very peaceful.

2 nights at North Star Cove

The dome at North Star Ranch was incredible. The land is beautifully maintained, the dome has all the creature comforts you may want, and the night sky is breathtaking. 12 out of 10 recommended staying here!

3 nights at Historic Texas Ranch 1000 acres

Everything was excellent. Really beautiful old home with comfortable beds on a large piece of land that’s easy to lose yourself on (in all the good ways). Owners stopped by to check on us a few times and were super kind. Highly recommend.

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.

3 nights at 🐮Tiny Town at GSD Ranch🐣 Unique

Our family came to the ranch for a quick getaway over the kids’ spring break and had the best time. The accommodations were terrific - super clean, all that we needed was provided, even some extra board games for the kids to play. The town of Hico was close and super charming. Kara, our host and her husband even met us one evening so that the kids could feed the animals and she was extremely helpful and responsive throughout our entire stay. Highly recommend!

Weekend Trip to North Star Cove

my partner and I's trip to the north star cove dome was exceptional. Rather difficult to find the location at night so try your best to arrive during day time hours. Joel was an excellent communicator and provided us with a gorgeous, secluded, and serene space to unwind and enjoy each other in. Everything was very clean and cozy. Truly such a fun experience and easily accessible for folks in san antonio/austin! Would absolutely reccomend! P.S. I also left a sentimental teddy bear behind at the Dome and Joel was kind enough to ship him back to me! Very kind host.

3 nights at North Star Cove

Joel’s land was gorgeous! We were able to see some wildlife, have a campfire, and most importantly for me.. get to watch all the stars. It was great to relax under the stars and get away from all the distractions of the world. It was truly a starry trance, and it was the best peaceful getaway anyone could ask for. Very private & quiet! Definitely book with Joel. You won’t regret it!! 🤩

2 nights at Hill Country Glamping Photo Safari

Really cool setup and a unique take on glamping! This definitely could be marketed as an “experience.” I have never been to Africa but this is exactly what I think of when I think African safari. I felt very secure and protected in this giant “tent.” It was the perfect size for 2 adults, two 4 year olds and two dogs. We cooked all our meals (potato and egg, hot dogs, kabobs, and even a sirloin steak) right over the campfire, except breakfast of the morning we left because it rained. The way to the river was a little drive, scenic drive with many animals to see, and I’m honestly glad it was not within walking distance because our kids would have been in there the whole time. Stacie and Jeremy were very responsive and I highly recommend them as hosts! Thank you!
