***As this is a VERY popular destination, you will need to book in advance.  If property is booked on the dates you want, we welcome you to experience one of our other glamping tents in Spicewood, 40 minutes away.  Click on my profile to see all listings or Message to inquire.

This property will feel very remote and yet we are only 10-miles from Marble Falls restaurants and HEB and a 5 min drive to the Smithwick Market for quick items and bundles of firewood for your fire and ice.

Property has a closed gated entrance located right next door to Smithwick market under a large lit billboard sign.

To access property you will have to open the gate/close and chain it and drive down over a 1.5 mile dirt road.

You are not in a residential neighborhood. It is dusty in the summer and during heavy rain, may require a 4-wheel drive. If concerned, talk to hosts fist.

Go through second gate and it will then dead end into the property....follow the path down to the safari tents. Tent one will park on far left and tent 2 will park on far right...parallel to the bathrooms.

Scott and myself are available via text/cell phone/Facetime throughout your stay but designed this unique escape for glampers who prefer a true remote and private experience w/nature.

We are located 10 miles from the city limits of Marble Falls, where you can enjoy access to multiple restaurants, HEB within 10-minutes, and a very cute quaint downtown with shopping.

We are 25 min from Lago Vista, 40-minutes from Cedar Park, and about 1:10 min from downtown Austin.

The closest landmark is the Smithwick Market located literally next door to our private gated entrance.

Hidden Falls Adventure Park- 2 min (1.8 mi)

Numinous Coffee Roasters-best local coffee shop about 7 min from us.

Lake LBJ- 29 min (18.8 mi)

We are located 10 miles from the city limits of Marble Falls, approx 25 min from Lago Vista, 40-minutes from Cedar Park, and 1:10 min from downtown Austin. The closest landmark is the Smithwick Market located right next door to our private gated entrance.

No access to Uber or a bus so car is needed.

On food:

The most convenient option is to use our propane grill with complementary propane. For the true campers, cooking over a campfire is a fun part of the camping experience, so you’ll have your own personal fire pit with a grill top right outside your tent. You will need to buy firewood & fire starter to help get you off to the right start!

A few tips for the grill-inclined:
- Think classic: burgers, sausages, steaks, kebabs, etc.
- Disposable metal pans seem to work best
- Nearest grocers are H-E-B in Marble Falls (supermarket, 15 min) and Smithwick Market to the right outside the main entrance gate(local, 5 min)

You'll have a small fridge, freezer and microwave as well. If you aren’t planning on grilling, alternate food options are 10 minutes away in Marble Falls and so we recommend planning ahead for groceries /ice and restaurant dining/take out.

- Watching the Sunset over the Colorado River
- Swimming in the Lake/aka Colorado River that's a part of Lake Travis
