Mark and Sabrina McClenton offer Texas-sized glamping on their 62-acre cattle ranch with a newly opened retreat, the\u00a0McClenton Hideout<\/a>. Glamping on the ranch means you get the luxury comforts of a stylish Austin hotel<\/a>\u00a0combined with the natural beauty of the scenic Texas hill country<\/a>. The two-person, spacious safari-style tent gives Texas vibes with bold patterns in soothing yet bright jewel tones, dramatic lighting, and of course, a cowhide rug. The bedroom’s high ceilings allow for a canopy king-size bed and warm lighting from the modern glam bubble chandelier. The bathroom features a soaking tub to ease your neck and shoulders after all of that Texas stargazing by the fire pit.<\/p>\n

A recent reviewer on\u00a0Google<\/a> said, “The secluded views, the ATV ride, and the bonfire with the uninterrupted skies were exactly what we were looking for.” For an additional cost, guests can schedule a guided ATV tour of the property, meal packages, and firewood and charcoal. For a truly unique experience, guests can book a “ranch-to-table” meal featuring McClenton Ranch beef, cooked over your campfire or grill.<\/p>\n

In addition to activities at the ranch, there’s more to explore in the town of\u00a0Bastrop, Texas’ “Most Historic Small Town” blending artsy charm with outdoor adventure<\/a>. With the Colorado River winding through town, kayakers can take their pick between two converging paddling trails in Bastrop State Park<\/a>: The El Camino Real Paddle Trail and Wilbarger Paddle Trail. Treehuggers can geek out, visiting the home of the loblolly pine tree in The Lost Pines, a unique pine-oak ecosystem that’s also inside the park.<\/p>\n

McClenton Hideout and Bastrop lie less than 25 miles from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. Either before or after your peaceful ranch retreat, a stop in Austin is a must. The capital of Texas also happens to be the “Beer Capital of Texas,” with beloved brews, live music, and a vibrant downtown<\/a>. Boutique lovers should save up some funds for the\u00a0walkable 2nd Street District, one of Texas’ best shopping destinations<\/a>. Stays at McClenton Hideout cost around $100 per night, making it a relatively affordable way to experience the best Texas has to offer.<\/p>\n
