Funky Accommodations
Hill Country Casitas www.hillcountrycasitas.com This is a great location just under 3 miles past the venue- they have multiple cabins and a meeting pavilion. The cabins are super nice and it's a great location for just two or for the whole family to rent different cabins and spend the weekend together. Their 2 bedroom cabins are incredible and perfect if you have families or couples that want to share. La Fortuna https://www.lodgewell.co/la-fortuna This property is literally right down the hill from the venue- they have 9 - 28 foot in diameter glamping TiPi's, 1 A-frame cabin for 2 and an adorable farm house that sleeps 6-8. This is the perfect spot for those adventurous friends and family members. They have a pavilion for groups staying in the tipis to gather. They are currently renting individually, but will allow buyouts for wedding groups and corporate events. Camp David Retreat https://www.campdavidretreat.com/ This brand new lodging option is directly across the private road from Vista West Ranch, you can easily walk back and forth from the wedding. It has a pool, hot tub, pickle-ball courts, a challenge course as well as fire pits and a huge deck. Their property features 4 master bedrooms in the main house and a bunk house that sleeps 16 (8 bunk beds). It is perfect for our overflow lodging guests at both Vista West Ranch and The Creek Haus. If you or your family have dogs... they are dog friendly and have a fenced area off of the bunkhouse. This is a full buyout property and is definitely more of a group kind of place to stay, but super nice and convenient to our wedding venues. Please let them know you are a guest of Vista West Ranch when inquiring. Lucky Arrow Retreat https://www.luckyarrowretreat.com/ This property is located on Bell Springs road and has a combo of luxury cabins and yurts. They are fairly new.
