As you cozy up in your sweater and savor the crumbs of pumpkin pie, it is evident fall has well and truly settled in. It’s the season for spontaneous road trips, rustic hideaways, and warm apple cider by the bonfire. So kick back, grab a cup of your favorite warm drink, and join us on a laid-back tour of the most fantastic fall getaways. The Hill Country has countless places to retreat, relax, and enjoy a few days away.
La Cantera Resort & Spa
La Cantera Resort & Spa in San Antonio is gorgeous! You can spoil yourself there in just a few days, especially if you want a romantic weekend without the kids. They offer romance packages on an adults-only floor with daily breakfast, happy hour, valet parking, and champagne when you arrive. Add a day trip to a nearby winery or vineyard for even more romance. Or if you want to take the whole family, there’s lots for kids to do, like a naturalist program, arcade, sunset s’mores, and arts and crafts.
The Yurtopian
If sleeping in a yurt isn’t on your bucket list, it will be now! Have you seen one of those amazing pointed-top round canvas tent houses? The Mongolians lived in yurts, and some of them were pretty elaborate. The ones at this resort are, too! The tent poles are brightly painted, and each has unique, intricate designs inside and out. Each is a hand-painted work of art surrounding a soft and comfortable king bed. This getaway is the dream life for nature lovers! Relax with a fire on the deck, stargaze, and enjoy the beautiful Hill Country at the Wimberley or Dripping Springs location.
Flophouze Shipping Container Hotel
Another unique place is the Flophouze Shipping Container Hotel in Round Top. A shipping container may not sound comfy, but these tricked-out recycled versions are the ultimate location! Inside, they’re covered in reclaimed wood and decorated using only vintage and recycled items. In fact, if you really like something you see in the décor, you can buy it. Talk about a memorable souvenir! Each container has a different theme, and some even have hot tubs. Take the family or go for a couple’s retreat to stay in a place like no other in Texas.
Collective Hill Country
The Collective Hill Country retreat in Wimberley is like stepping back in time. It sits in the middle of nature, with gorgeous views and acres of space. You’ll stay in a log-and-canvas summit tent, big enough for two or the whole family. Each tent has thick woven textiles, antique-inspired furnishings, a wood-burning stove, and plenty of windows. But just because it’s rustic doesn’t mean it’s low-rent. You can get excellent gourmet food, in-tent massages, a wine tour, sound meditation, outdoor yoga, and a branding demo, complete with bubbly.
