Sitting on 225 acres of organic farm- and ranchland in Wimberley, this luxury getaway features spacious tents with king-size beds and 1,500-thread–count linens, wood-burning stoves, over-bed chandeliers, and private decks. Those in getaway-mode can take a private horseback-riding lesson, explore the many trails surrounding the site, practice yoga and sound meditation, or arrange an e-bike adventure around town.

There's a lot to experience at this lovely little compound, where you can unwind with a rejuvenating massage, take a dip in the refreshing pool, or roll up your sleeves for one of the hands-on art or cooking classes. Even if you just retreat to one of the tranquil rooms—some with a whirlpool or deck—you'll still find an amazing sense of relaxation here, with lovely countryside views. The five-course Saturday dinner is delectable, and this is a perfect spot for a romantic getaway, girls' weekend, babymoon, or weekend retreat. Breakfast alone is nearly worth the price of your stay.

Though you're only a short walking distance from Wimberley Village Square, the meandering dirt road to the inn makes this feel like a true hideaway. Look for deer in the tree-framed meadows nearby. The sprawling main house is shaded by pecan trees and wrapped in a series of wooden decks. Each guest room has a distinct style, with different color schemes and handmade bedspreads. After a good sleep on one of the pillow-top beds, be sure to stroll the grounds along the creek or soak in the hot tub with a glass of wine.

A little less than 10 miles from Wimberley is a little weekend escape set on an 88-acre plot with rolling hills and enchanting vistas, surrounded by 2,500 protected acres that make the location prime for stargazing. And you won't even have to leave the premises to forage for dinner. Instead, a three-course meal is prepared each night and served family-style to you and the other inn guests. Rooms have romantic fireplaces and views of the fiery Texas sunsets. Hiking trails and pickleball are on offer. The spa is small but mighty with excellent Swedish and deep-tissue massage therapy.

Yurts are more common than one would think in Wimberley, and there is even a yurt building company in town to help facilitate the process. But the owners of The Yurtopian are likely the first to create an adults-only yurt glamping experience here, with 6 circular yurts on 30 acres, some with panoramic hilltop views from the top of a balcony patio that will take your breath away. Each yurt, built to specification in Mongolia, features beautiful hand-painted designs, a dipping pool, a kitchenette and grill, and coffee, and they are climate-controlled year-round. There's no restaurant, but guests are welcomed to bring their own food in or head into town.
