Welcome to the Hill Country Soulcation by @SoulcationCollective, a newly developed glamping property in gorgeous Fredericksburg, TX. Surrounded by nature yet minutes from wineries and "the best burgers in Texas" at Alamo Springs Cafe, you'll wake up to the birds chirping, go to sleep in silence, wrapped in luxury bedding, under a dark sky full of stars and hike, wine taste and explore in between. It's the perfect soulcation and ultimate chance to unwind, relax and reset. Nestled on 6 acres in the hills above Fredericksburg, Hill Country Soulcation is surrounded by towering oak trees, native landscaping and wildlife. You can satisfy your wildest adventure during the day and relax under the starry sky at night. We have three units on the property and each is approximately 500 feet from one another. We've tried to use the natural landscape to provide as much privacy as possible. Each unit has it's own private two-person hot tub, fire pit seating area, propane grill (propane provided) and outdoor dining area. We also offer an additonal community outdoor dining table for six.
