The Scandinavian-inspired property was conceived by Leslie Martin, a fourth-generation Texan Swede who left a lengthy career in tech to pursue her passion for hospitality and architecture. \u201cI [chose] this outdoor space where I could provide a great landing place for others to experience nature a little more easily,\u201d she says. \u201cIf COVID taught us anything, [it\u2019s that] being outside is really therapeutic and beneficial.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-133697 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/539886260_122137928780830023_2712100748204414013_n-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\"  \/>Cabin Anna, a stunning structure from the Netherlands with a retractable shell.<\/p>\n<p>The scenic property brims with verdant walking trails, roaming fauna like wild turkeys and armadillos, and twinkling constellations worthy of its Dark Sky Community designation. But the true stars of the retreat are its 10 unique cabins, from a Wildwood tent made in Austria and designed with cedar shake wood to clear Stargazer units from Spain that feature curved floor-to-ceiling windows. \u201cYou\u2019re literally surrounded by trees and sky, and it\u2019s a really immersive experience,\u201d Martin says.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-133698 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/DSC00116-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\"  \/>A Wildwood tent made in Austria and designed with cedar shake wood.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Versatility is part of the appeal at Cabin Anna, a stunning structure from the Netherlands with a retractable shell. The lodging features adjustable outer walls that can transition from an enclosed space to an open-air pavilion in the middle. The modern domicile also features a private wellness deck with a hot tub, cold plunge, and sauna for guests.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\">Thoughtfully spaced throughout the retreat, the individual cabins allow plenty of privacy while still feeling cohesive. When designing the layout, Martin drew inspiration from her Scandinavian heritage, upholding the tenets of connectivity, coziness, and minimalism: \u201cThat\u2019s where the name came from, lagom, which means \u201cnot too much, not too little, just right.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nestled on a hilltop in Drippings Springs, Lagom Retreat brings an international flair to the bucolic countryside.
