Safari Style Glamping Experience in the Heart of Texas Hill Country, Perfect for Animal Lovers
Experience the Best of Central Texas and Exotic Wildlife
Step into a world where nature's beauty meets modern luxury. This glampsite invites you to immerse yourself in the heart of central Texas while surrounded by exotic wildlife from around the globe. As you relax on the spacious deck overlooking the juniper, pecan, and oak-filled valley, you'll find tranquility and inspiration in every direction.
Cook, Stargaze, and Connect with Nature
Whether you're a culinary enthusiast or a stargazer, this accommodation caters to your desires. Prepare delectable meals on your suite's commercial induction cooktop or savor the flavor of an open fire at the rock fire pit. And when night falls, the stars above shine brighter and bigger at Lost Horizon, creating a celestial spectacle you won't want to miss.
Our insulated, heated, and air-conditioned permanent luxury tent is more akin to a remarkable cabin than a mere tent. Raised 6 feet above the ground on a stunning 26'x48' deck, it offers serene views and a sense of both comfort and safety. You'll truly appreciate this haven when the coyotes howl in the valley or the red stags roar in October and November.
