Wake up forty feet above the Texas Hill Country, canvas walls glowing gold at sunrise, a stone waterfall murmuring somewhere below your private deck. This is Camp Hideaway’s Elevated Family Tent Suite — part treehouse, part glamping retreat, built for a family that wants s’mores by the fire pit at night and a soft king bed (plus two cozy day beds) waiting when the stars finally win you over. Disconnect starts the moment you climb the stairs.
Climb the private staircase to your own 400-square-foot canvas suite, perched on stilts above the Hill Country brush. Inside, a vaulted white canvas ceiling and a slow-turning fan keep the air moving while French doors fold open to your 1,000-square-foot wraparound deck — bring coffee out at sunrise, nap on the daybed cushions in the afternoon, or set up dinner under the stars with nobody around for a hundred yards.
Sleeping is genuinely comfortable, not “glamping-comfortable” — a plush king bed anchors the room, flanked by two upholstered day beds with cane wood headboards, so two kids (or two adults) each get their own space. Warm wood plank flooring and neutral linens make the tent feel more like a boutique cabin than canvas. A mini-split system handles both A/C and heat, so the suite stays comfortable in July or January, and the ensuite bathroom has a full shower — no walking across a shared yard in a towel.
We built this place to unplug in, on purpose: there’s no TV, so evenings default to the fire pit, the deck, or the stone waterfall feature spilling toward the pond below the main barn. A small kitchen area lets you keep drinks cold and put together breakfast before a day on Fredericksburg’s wine trail. Guests also share the property’s pool and fire pit — a welcome cool-off after a hot Hill Country afternoon — plus free on-site parking.
The elevation isn’t a gimmick: it’s a view no ground-level cabin can match, especially at golden hour when the property lights up amber and the waterfall catches the last of the sun.
Your tent sits on its own elevated patch of the property, a short walk from parking, with a private staircase and a 1,000-square-foot wraparound deck that is yours for the length of your stay. The shared pool and fire pit are available to all guests staying on-site. Wifi, air conditioning and heating are available inside, plus a hair dryer and toiletries in the ensuite bathroom. There is no TV, by design.
