"Hike around the property’s verdant trails to work up an appetite before a stellar five-course farm-to-table dinner featuring hearty proteins (think ribeye from grass-fed cattle and chili made with wild boar) and organic produce plucked from the neighboring ranch."
"The camps are portable, so they can be placed on the side of a mountain, in the middle of a vineyard or even inside special venues like museums."
“The beautiful tents have en suite bathrooms and wood-burning stoves, which come in handy on cool fall nights; on-site activities include fly-fishing and ziplining.”
"Nightly dinners feature “farm-to-flame” dishes like wild boar osso bucco"

It was really everything I had hoped for and more. The Texas Hill Country is spectacular and the nearby town of Wimberley is absolutely enchanting. The staff made our trip. So kind, thoughtful, and attentive. The food was off the charts. Our favorite part was hanging around the community fire pit getting to know our fellow travelers. The bathroom had its own tent with a shower we could have spent hours in. The bed was a cloud I never wanted to leave. Thank you, thank you, thank you for providing the space and hospitality for such an unforgettable experience.

My best friend and I went to Collective Hill Country for a girl's getaway in an effort to decompress after a stressful holiday season. It goes without saying that the views were breathtaking, the accommodations were flawless and attention to detail was otherworldly. Even better than the aforementioned perks of Collective Hill Country? The staff. Every member of the Hill Country team was thoughtful and helped ensure we got everything out of our stay that we wanted. They had wonderful recommendations for activities and expressed genuine interest in the guests. Thank you for such a great weekend!

Our stay at Collective Hill Country over New Year's was wonderful! The tent was beautiful and exactly as expected from the photos, and the in-room amenities were a big hit. We especially loved the bathrobes, but the bed and other linens were very comfortable/luxurious as well! It's the amazing service that Collective Retreats supplies that exceeded my expectations. Someone was available via text 24/7 to bring us whatever we needed and answer any questions, and the entire team was quick, so friendly, and really eager to make our stay as great as possible. It's a wonderful bonus that all of the food is amazing as well - breakfast was much better than I've had at some 5-star hotels!
