About this property

Riverfront Yurt, AC, Hot tub, Kayaks, Movie Projector, Fire Pit

Imagine waking up to the to a direct view of the morning sunrise while drinking your coffee listening to the sounds of birds chirping ...or gazing at the moon and 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 hill country glamping experience to "Recharge and Reconnect."

One of a kind bucket list experience" for couples to enjoy a romantic getaway together or for friends to enjoy nature.

We put the GLAMP in glamp-ing. Trust me you are not roughing it at Safari for the Soul.

The "Starry Nights" tent features a 400 sq. ft air conditioned/heated room with an impressive king-size bed, a one of a kind outside open bathroom and shower w/curtains connected to your bathroom and an intimate/private hot tub. We also added an outside movie projector. Works best with a personal hotspot but does have wifi.

The inside kitchenette area has all the necessities glampers need to create some simple yet delicious grilled meals, and they can be enjoyed at the bar table in the rental. (i.e. microwave/mini refrigerator with freezer, Keurig coffee maker/creamer pods, and propane grill.)

Our Starry Nights tent is the ideal spot for you and your partner to enjoy a glass of wine and sit by your own private fire pit while star gazing or your own private hot tub or watching a movie on our new outside projector. Trust me, it's very romantic to be out in nature with such a quietness and sounds of the night.

We offer two complementary shared kayaks to use or take a swim in the lake, prop a beach chair up on the nearby sand bar, or go fishing. Also, if you enjoy hiking we have access to the over 100-acre hiking/biking/horse trails at the next door Schaffer Bend park.

Pet Friendly: Unlike many places, we love dogs! $50.00 total pet fee for small to medium breed dogs. Large dogs subject to approval so please let host know if you plan to bring a dog. Your dog must be people and dog friendly.

Note: If you are traveling in a group or as couples we also offer a second glamping tent next to this tent as positioned in the pictures. Both are very strategically positioned to offer privacy while having direct views of the lake from either patio. (CLICK ON. MY PROFILE PIC TO SEE OTHER YURTS).

***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 or the other similar tents on the property named Moonlight Magic or Cosmic Nights. Click on my profile to see all listings or Message to inquire.

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.

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)

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.

Onsite Activities:
- Watching the Sunset over the Colorado River
- Swimming in the Lake/aka Colorado River that's a part of Lake Travis
- Go kayaking on the lake and look at the hill country views large hawks
-Watch a movie outside at night
- Go fishing and catch some large catfish, gar, perch or bass
- Self-guided yoga on the elevated deck/yoga mats provided
- Campfire chats: s’mores recommended, listening to music
- Picnic under the trees or on the river bank with a blanket
- Hang out at night in the hot tub looking at the stars
- Listen to the coyotes howl in the fall
- Go jeeping or ride an ATV at Hidden Falls only 10min away
- Read a book or take a nap in the hammock

Dog Friendly: Unlike many places, we love dogs! $50.00 total pet fee for up to two small to medium breed dogs. Large dogs subject to approval so please let host know if you plan to bring a dog. Your dog must be people and dog friendly.

Note: If you are traveling in a group or as couples we also offer a second glamping tent next to this tent as positioned in the pictures. Both are very strategically positioned to offer privacy while having direct views of the lake from either patio.

Click on my profile to see all listings of other yurt in Spicewood and the three tents in Marble Falls or message to inquire.This property will feel very remote and yet we are only 10-miles from Marble Falls and a 5 min drive to the Smithwick Market for quick items and bundles of firewood for your fire.

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.

PLEASE READ: We would like to inform you about a current construction project that is taking place from 9/1 to 10/4, involving the installation of a commercial septic system. This work is part of our ongoing efforts to enhance our facilities and create a more comfortable experience for all our guests.

During this period, you may notice several dirt trenches and missing grass. The installation will occur between the two tents that face the river, and several hundred yards behind Starry Nights.

The great news is that the lower level of the river area remains free of any construction, and the patio view from both tents facing the water will remain unobstructed and beautiful. To minimize disruption, we have scheduled work on blocked days and will be doing new landscaping work only when guests are not booked.

We sincerely appreciate your patience and understanding during this period of growth and expansion as we prepare to build two treehouse structures.

Beautiful

This place was exactly what we needed. Everything about it was perfect. From booking, to checking in, to having everything we needed, the communication…..everything!!!! Denise and Scott were on top of anything that was needed (which was not much at all for us). We had an amazing time hanging out wherever we wanted. Kayaking was so much fun!!! We will definitely be coming back to this place or maybe another of their properties!!
