Close to Austin, this is a romantic escape in the wild, with amenities to rival any hotel.

Take a soak in your private hot tub as fairy lights illuminate the surroundings, or sit by the cozy firepit and star gaze with your partner. The indoor is just as magnificent, and once you slide the curtains, you are awarded views of the lake from the king-size bed.
When you wish to head out, Frontyard Brewery and Pace Bend State Park are a 15-minute drive away. And if you wish to explore Lake Travis, contact the host for romantic sunset cruises and boat tours for an additional fee.

9. Treetop dome with private pool (from USD 328)

Whether you are lounging on your bed, taking a soak in your private plunge pool, or sitting out on the deck, there is always the changing colors of the sky and the unlimited greenery to marvel at.
While there is no kitchen in this gorgeous dome, it does come with a firepit, which is perfect for grilling mouth-watering burgers. Since you are on break, you don’t have to cook - instead, you can easily drive to one of the nearby restaurants.

This waterfront safari tent is one of two on the property and is positioned to offer complete privacy. Begin your days with a morning hike, or enjoy a steaming cup of coffee on the deck as the sun begins to rise over the horizon.

The Colorado River is within steps of the tent and can be toured on the complimentary kayaks. If you would prefer to stay on land, set up beach chairs by the lake and spend a leisurely day doing absolutely nothing. In the evenings, you can light up some candles and connect to Bluetooth speakers for some soft music as you enjoy some alone time out in nature.
This glamping site welcomes small to medium-sized dogs for a pet fee of 50 USD, while larger dogs require the hosts’ approval.
