Reviews

We really enjoyed our teepee experience!
It was perfect for a group of 5 with easy access via keypad to the teepee and the private bathroom.
The area was beautiful and the amenities were fun.
We took advantage of the fireplace and picnic table.
I would recommend staying more than 1 night for the full experience. We also really enjoyed floating the Guadalupe River.
We definitely want to come back!
We had a wonderful stay at the Tipis, very unique! The place was very neat and clean.
