One of the top 5 romantic destinations only 40 min from downtown Austin for couples and best girlfriends to celebrate their honeymoon, anniversary, birthdays, 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 treehouse style 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 and nature experience! Safari for the Soul is for one thing-to "Recharge and Reconnect." Couples and friends 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.
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. We are a 10 min. drive to Lake Travis and Pave Bend Park that offers swimming and fishing and over 100 acres to explore.
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?

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.
