Outdoorsy recently announced the opening of Outdoorsy Hill Country, its new luxury glamping retreat.
The retreat is located in one of the fastest growing U.S. travel markets with the Texas Hill Country and nearby Fredericksburg, Texas, both hitting CNN and The Washington Post’s 2024 global ‘must visit’ lists, the company said in a release.
“Our vision was to create an iconic destination that fuses rustic charm, immersive outdoor experiences, and refined Hill Country hospitality for thoughtful travelers from Texas and beyond,” said Outdoorsy CEO Jeff Cavins. “With 22 all-season canvas glamping tents, a cafe and bar, a country store, an events lodge and meandering trails across the 32-acre property, Outdoorsy Hill Country is a memorable slowcation destination that blends contemporary comforts with the allure of Texas’ natural beauty.”
Surrounded by rolling hills, the retreat offers access to displays of spring bluebonnets and expansive views of Texas sunrises and sunsets. A large spring-fed watering hole is a centerpiece of the property, and across the property, live oaks provide shade for live music performances and an outdoor bar.
Outdoorsy Hill Country combines state-of-the-art safari tents with locally sourced materials such as Texas limestone, the company said. Outdoor amenities for each tent include wraparound panoramic decks and fire pits, providing opportunities for guests to gather and relax for evening drinks and outdoor dining.
“We fell in love with the Hill Country when we built a glamping tent for ourselves,” said Jen Young, Outdoorsy co-founder and CMO. “We couldn’t be more delighted to share this space with guests who are seeking out the restoration that time in nature provides.”
Glamping tents, sleeping two or four, are sighted on the property to maximize seclusion and blend into the natural landscape. The tents feature a king-size bed, twin and trundle beds with linens, robes and modern furnishings. The retreat’s tents are also climate-controlled to ensure a comfortable stay year-round. Private en suite bathrooms feature rain showers and products from San Saba Soap Company. A fully equipped kitchenette and stocked minibar give guests the chance to grill outdoors or mix a cocktail featuring local Garrison Brothers bourbon.
Outdoorsy Hill Country’s event venue is designed to host fully catered weddings, corporate off-sites and cultural events, the company said. The event space, which overlooks the retreat’s watering hole and can accommodate up to 250 guests, features a vintage wood interior, state-of-the-art AV technology and WiFi along with large roll-up doors that lead to an expansive deck.
In addition to the glamping tents and event venue, Outdoorsy Hill Country offers a variety of outdoor activities, including horseback riding, fly fishing, hiking, climbing and boutique shopping. Curated excursions, such as wine-tasting tours along the Texas Wine Trail, guided hikes through nearby state parks with trusted local outfitters, and historical tours of Fredericksburg, will also be available.
Reservations are open for spring 2024, including a special solar eclipse package in April. For more information, visit the website here.
