Texas Staycations
We're in the thick of it, fellow-Texans. Summer. We've all accepted that we live in a crock-pot from the months of May-August. The air is thick, the temperatures are un-godly and the sun is HOT. Of course we want to escape to cooler climates at a time like this, but many of us can't get away! That's where stay-cations come into play. If you're going to be sweating, might as well be sweating by the pool. If you're going to be swimming through 100% humidity just walking outside, you may as well be on a stunning golf course or walking the streets of a new town.
We are big believers in stay-cations to break up the monotony of every day. Were is a list of our top 4 favorite local Texas weekend getaways.
WAHWAHTAYSEE
Set on over 100 acres of pristine wilderness on the San Marcos River just 50 miles south of Austin is Wahwahtaysee Resort, a luxury glamping retreat. The property features seven safari tents, creating a truly unique experience. We travel to wahwahtaysee often. Cooking your own food, dipping your toes in the cold San Marcos River and sleeping in beautifully designed lodging allows you to unplug from the demands of home and step into a weekend away where the stars are bright and days are quiet.
2. MIRAVAL AUSTIN RESORT
This wellness resort is really the place to come and get away.The serene, restful rooms all have private balconies with Hill Country views, there are countless spa treatments and the emphasis of the entire location is on unplugging, inwinding and resting so that you can jump back into your life full-force. The amenities are over the top: 30 treatment rooms and more than 75 treatments offered at the spa, two pools, cooking and cocktail classes, an equine center, and an onsite farm.
3. THE HOUSTONIAN
Recently named the #3 best resort in texas, The Houstonian is a local gem. It is a secluded retreat located adjacent to the city's iconic Memorial Park, and minutes from downtown. You can hide-away and rejuvenate on its peaceful 27-acre oasis. Fun fact: This is the former home of United States President George H.W. Bush! The property feels like a quiet, secluded retreat, miles from the city - yet it is in the heart of Houston.
4. THE ROSEWOOD MANSION ON TURTLE CREEK
Overlooking Turtle Creek, this upscale hotel has an amazing on-site restaurant, fabulous spa, fitness center and pool. Surrounded by magnolia trees and Mediterranean embellishments, the hotel’s outdoor swimming pool is a serene urban retreat offering an inviting, resort-like atmosphere. You almost forget the busy-ness of Dallas when you enter the doors of this stunning hotel.
