First let me apologize for not blogging in a while. If you are still here, thanks! It’s been hard to keep up and honestly, we have not done a ton of traveling nor home projects. My life has been pretty basic. I have been watching The World’s Most Amazing Vacation Rentals on Netflix, and that is somewhat the inspiration for this post. Since I do not have a Netflix budget (would be a dream), I am going to just settle for sharing links of some unique properties that I have saved on my Airbnb wishlist. To keep it from getting too long, going to narrow it down to 10 in Texas (with a couple bonus) that I hope to get a chance to visit.

Even more so now, with the pandemic, Airbnb style travel seems to be the way to go. You can find a place that offers a whole experience and you can limit (or not) your time with other humans as much as you would like. There are many other sites to book these type of stays on as well, but for now focusing on Airbnb. So let’s get to the list. CLICK THE PIC TO GO DIRECTLY TO AIRBNB FOR MORE PICS & INFO.

Naturalist Boudoir

This property features a swinging bed, seclusion, outdoor hot tub, beautiful natural wood aesthetics, and a chance to connect with nature, yourself, or whoever you visit with.

Dallas Treehouse

My mom and one of her close friends actually got the chance to stay here. They used it as a time to disconnect and just spend some time with God (and each other). Her pictures were amazing and honestly these pics do not seem to do the place justice. This one is at the top of my list. I absolutely love being nestled among trees.

Yurt In The Trees

As if the fact that is a Yurt isn’t cool enough, it also has treehouse vibes. This looks like an amazing way to glamp in style! Per the host, in a yurt, you can hear all of nature, the breeze in the trees and the birds singing in the morning. You can venture down the canyon and there is a spring fed creek, nature areas to explore, fire ring, and porch swings.

Hill Country Glass House

You can roll the bed outside and enjoy a rest under the stars! This is like sleeping outside but even better because it’s not outside. Clearly I am not a camper lol. But the design touches, the hill country views, the vibe, just screams romantic getaway. I would even go here for a momcation by myself. I’d prob be a tad scared but I can handle it.

Zebra-inspired Cabin, inside Animal Sanctuary

There’s something so cool to me about waking up to zebras, giraffes, and some cows! It makes me feel like I am transported to another country. There are 2 cabins on property and they are both beautifully decorated! Not to mention this is only 15 minutes from the Waco Silos. One concern about this one based on reviews, is that you have to book the animal encounter for an additional fee. It sounds like its worth the experience though, so just plan ahead accordingly. There is another cool one on my list that connects you to animals that is worth checking out too, The Sweet Serengeti Cabin. Compare to see which one works best with your budget!

Lake Waco Marina Houseboat

If you saw this episode of Fixer Upper, then you know it’s AMAZING inside. If you missed, tap the picture above. I have always wanted to stay on a Houseboat, and this looks like the perfect one to get the experience. It’s also surprisingly spacious, it has 5 beds. Like the one above, you can head over to enjoy the activities in the Waco and surrounding area if it gets a little too quiet for you.

Dome on Guadelupe River

Something about Domes fascinate me, just feels magical. I know there are those dining domes that you can eat in, welp, here is one you can sleep in! The bathroom accommodations are a bit less than ideal as you have to go to the main house, but at least they are not outside, right? It seems very spacious and can accommodate a small family. It’s cutely decorated too, located within the faerie forest.

Castle

Who doesn’t want to stay in a castle? It’s got Europe vibes right in the hill country! I have passed it before and it’s by a beautiful vineyard/winery and it’s not too far from some great hill country hiking spots. This is the priciest one on the list at $1950 per night, but it sleeps 12. If you divide that steep rate up, its around $160 pp per night, so not bad. This would be the coolest spot to gather for a bachelorette trip or a girls trip or a big family getaway (of course pending the house rules).

Sycamore Treehouse at Honey Tree Farm

I absolutely love the bright and airy-ness of this place!! Plus it is in the heart of the wine country of the hill country TX, need I say more? This one books up a lot but if you can snag one, based on the reviews it seems totally worth the stay. There is more than one of these treehouses on the farm, so if this one is not available, search honey tree farm for the other(s). The views sound like they are pretty incredible!

Off-grid Adobe Dome near Big Bend

Transporting you to the wild, wild west (of Texas) where there are actual mountains. Yes, there are mountains in Texas. I am shocked at how nice and cozy these look inside. Like most of the ones I have here, this is a great property to give you a chance to disconnect from life and enjoy some nature. As described, it is close to the incredible Big Bend National Park. Since there is no air conditioning, fall or spring would be the best time to visit here! Also shockingly there is WiFi available. This is a great place to take in the mountain view’s.

I have over 40 on my list of super cool airbnb places in Texas on my wishlist. It was SO hard to trim it down, but here is a great start! Have you stayed in any of these? Or any of them on your list too? If you do visit or have, PLEASE LET ME KNOW.

Taking it a little further, just sharing 2 more that are on my list.

This one is famous, and the bamboo makes me feel like I am connected with my absolute favorite animal in all the world, the panda.

Atlanta Alpaca Treehouse in the Bamboo Forest

Just look at the pictures, need I say more? My sister is moving to Atlanta, so hoping I can sneak away here for a couple nights when we come visit. Oh and there are alpacas on property!!

The Sassafras

This gives me hobbit vibes (BTW, there is a real hobbit looking place in Washington state). The owner of this property really did an amazing job designing this and making this a really unique place. I love that it has the beautiful pond views, the large rocks, and the mountain view’s in the distance. Definitely my kind of place to disconnect and explore nature.

This is not sponsored by Airbnb. Just me over dreaming and hoping to give my reader friends some inspiration. As always thank you SO much for stopping by! I hope you enjoyed these!!! XoXo Gossip Girl..jk.
