Tipis on the Guadalupe
$160-$199/ noche
Reserva esto si You want the nostalgia of camping with your kids but refuse to sleep on the ground or sweat through a Texas summer night.
Por qué a la gente le encanta
- Ice-cold AC inside heavy-duty canvas tipis
- Private fire pits and BBQ grills for every unit
- Direct access to the Guadalupe River just down the hill
Resumen rápido: It's a fantastic novelty stay, but you're still walking outside to pee at 3 AM and you will hear your neighbors if they stay up late.
Reseñado por @katie_garber: My stay in this tipi was the perfect summer escape. I loved having a cozy bed and AC after a day by the river. The kitchenette was super handy for morning coffee, and the sunset views over the water were absolutely gorgeous. Such a fun, unique trip!

Preguntas frecuentes y consejos ocultos
Todo lo que realmente quieres saber antes de reservar.
Are the bathrooms inside the tipis?
No. Each tipi is assigned a private, lockable bathroom in a separate bathhouse a short walk away.
Is there air conditioning?
Yes, and it works incredibly well. The tipis are fully climate-controlled for brutal Texas summers.
Can I bring my dog?
No, the property has a strict no-pets policy.
Do I need to bring my own firewood?
You can, but the property also sells firewood and s'mores kits on-site for convenience.
Is the river right outside my door?
Not exactly. It's a short, somewhat steep walk down a dirt trail to reach the waterfront deck and river access.
Is there Wi-Fi?
Yes, free high-speed Wi-Fi is included and strong enough for streaming.
Consejos de Insiders
- ✨
Bring a floating cooler for your drinks when you head down to the river—the water is cold and you won't want to keep walking back up the hill.
- ✨
Save money by grabbing groceries and firewood at the nearby Lowe's Market instead of buying everything on-site.
- ✨
Book a tubing shuttle with a local outfitter like Lone Star Float House so you don't have to worry about parking or logistics.
5 cosas que debes saber antes de ir
💡The tipis are pitched much closer together than the wide-angle marketing photos suggest.
💡The canvas walls glow beautifully at night, but that also means the morning sun will wake you up early.
💡There's a communal microwave available if the small toaster oven in your kitchenette isn't cutting it.
💡You have to bring your own river/beach towels; the provided white towels are strictly for the bathhouse.
💡The private bathrooms are assigned by tipi number and use the same keypad code as your front door.
