10/10 -- A Hidden Gem in the Texas Hill Country!…read more
We absolutely loved our stay at Outdoorsy! We booked completely last minute--the day before--and stayed in Suite 16. This place truly feels like a hidden gem, and the entire experience was such a vibe.
Check-in was a breeze, and the staff was amazing from beginning to end. The ladies helped us with our luggage via golf cart and were available from 9am - 7pm to shuttle us back and forth to our cars. All we had to do was text the front desk for a ride. Everyone was incredibly sweet, helpful, and full of great local recommendations. You could tell they genuinely enjoyed their jobs, which made the experience even better.
Our suite was spacious, comfortable, and really thoughtfully designed. Having a fridge and microwave was such a nice touch, along with robes in the room and all the little amenities that made it feel more like a boutique stay than traditional "glamping." Our site also had its own fire pit, which really completed the Hill Country vibe.
One of our favorite surprises was having a deer feeder right outside our door! We were able to watch deer come right up near our site, which was such a peaceful and memorable part of the experience. Between the deer, longhorns, fire pit, and incredible stars at night, you really felt immersed in the Hill Country.
Suite 16 is closer to the main road, so you can clearly hear some highway noise. They thoughtfully provide a white-noise machine, which made it an easy fix. If you're sensitive to road noise, I'd recommend requesting a site farther from the main road.
The guest room did get pretty warm around 4 p.m. because the windows face the afternoon sun. Some window tinting or an exterior shade would probably help, but when we mentioned it, the staff immediately offered to bring us an additional large A/C unit. They even offered us a complimentary cocktail for the inconvenience, which was such a nice gesture! Overall, the suite stayed comfortable, and they did an excellent job designing the space with multiple floor vents to keep air flowing throughout.
The property gets VERY dark at night! There could possibly be a little more pathway lighting between the tents, but honestly, the low light pollution is also part of the magic--the stars were absolutely incredible. If you're directionally challenged, worried about critters at night, or just don't want to walk in the dark, renting a golf cart for $150 for your stay might be worth it.
Feeding the longhorns was another highlight--feed buckets were only $5. The check-in area also had s'mores supplies, firewood, beer, snacks, and drinks, all at surprisingly reasonable prices. It's a great little convenience when you realize you forgot something or want to enjoy s'mores around your fire pit.
We also loved the game room! There's a pool table, ping pong, basketball, a massive TV, and plenty of room to hang out. It was especially nice having a cool place to escape the Texas heat and relax for a while.
The only thing missing is a pool on property but it sounds like that will be the next addition. Some yurts do have pools but it will definitely be a welcoming addition with the Texas heat!
Overall, 10/10 and highly recommend! The few minor inconveniences were handled quickly and graciously by the staff. From watching deer outside our door and feeding the longhorns to sitting around the fire pit and seeing a sky full of stars, the whole property had such a fun, relaxing Hill Country vibe. We're so glad we found this hidden gem and would absolutely stay again!
