The Neighborhood:
You're right in the heart of Hill Country wine, beer, and spirits country — a stretch locals love for its rolling views, tasting rooms, and laid-back vibe. This area has become a true destination for day-trippers and travelers looking for that perfect blend of Texas charm and craft culture.

🍺 Breweries & Distilleries: You’re surrounded by some of the best in Texas — Jester King Brewery (famous for farmhouse ales and pizza), Last Stand Brewing, Beerburg Brewing, and Treaty Oak Distilling (craft cocktails, whiskey, live music, and BBQ).

🍇 Wineries: Fitzhugh Road is dotted with vineyards and tasting rooms like Hawk’s Shadow, Bell Springs Winery, and Graveyard Vineyards — perfect for sipping and soaking in the Hill Country views.

🥘 Eats Nearby: Enjoy farm-to-table meals at The Switch BBQ & Craft House, casual bites at Abby Jane Bakeshop (next to Barton Springs Mill), or head into downtown Dripping Springs for spots like Oak Creek Café and Rolling in Thyme & Dough.

🌳 Outdoor Fun: Hamilton Pool Preserve and Reimers Ranch Park are both a short drive away for swimming, hiking, and cliffside views. The Hill Country’s best natural gems are right at your fingertips.

🎶 Local Flavor: Many of the breweries and distilleries host live music, weekend markets, and events — so there’s always something happening along Fitzhugh Road.

Getting Around:
Having a car is the most convenient option. However, if you plan to visit some of the wineries, breweries or distilleries Discover Texas Wine Tours, Dripping Springs Hill Country Limo & Taxi, Deer Run CS, Dripping Springs Limo Service, Texas Wine Tour Company.

The path into the property is unpaved and has a flattened caliche road so please keep this in mind when planning your transportation.

Other Things to Note:
Lodgewell, as the management company, will email a separate reservation agreement to your personal email for digital signature. This agreement is in addition to the standard platform terms, and outlines property-specific rules and expectations set by the homeowner. If you'd like to review it in advance, just let us know — we're happy to send you a copy.

THE ROAD - The last stretch of road to the property is an unpaved, caliche road. SUV or truck is great but not necessary.

PHONE SIGNAL - There is none!

WIFI - There is limited satellite wifi dependent on the weather.

RAIN - A traditional tipi has a large opening at the top. There is no way to seal the tipi completely and it is possible that drop of water will enter.

AC - During the hotter months, the portable systems in the tipis and tents have a hard time keeping up with the heat and better function once the day begins to cool off. They will only cool 20 degrees below actual temp.

WEAR & TEAR - Canvas may have some dirt, mold stains, rips, and or tears.

DARK SKIES - Pack a flashlight or headlamp to maneuver around after dark.

PETS - A pet agreement must be signed and a pet fee will be charged separately after booking ($25 per pet).
Two pets max with a combined weight of 60 lbs. .
We kindly ask that pets stay off the furniture to keep things fresh for everyone. An additional cleaning fee may apply if excessive pet hair is found.

KIDS - We have not done any child proofing. The experience is similar to a camping experience at a park. Gravel paths, wildlife encounters, etc. We leave it up to parents to decide if their little ones are equipped for this adventure.

LIABILITY WAIVER - By booking, you acknowledge that you are staying at your own risk and that certain risks come with being in a rural environment — including staying in a tipi, interacting with nature, and outdoor activities.

You accept full responsibility for any accidents or injuries, and agree to hold the owner and management harmless. Risks may be greater for those with health conditions, those who are pregnant, under the influence, or impaired in any way.

By booking, you and your party accept and understand these risks and agree to waive any claims against the property owner and manager.

Interaction with Guests:
You will have the entire stargazer to yourself.
We use a simple self-check-in / check-out method.
