Collective Retreats Hill Country

This is by far our best experience staying outdoors. Very friendly staff and every single staff that works here is the best at his or her job.

Very quiet, away from noise and has nice views. Gated community, so felt a little safe too. Check-in was fast and very smooth. They communicate with you via text, all room services are provided via text message, the accommodation was as good as described and posted pictures. Very clean rooms. The room has coolers to make you feel comfortable during a hot day, room has a small fireplace too for winters. Yes, with a completely outdoor living, you get to share your space with nature and its little flyers and crawlers. But, that shouldn’t bother much, if you understand that you are staying outdoors and love nature.

From the Manager to the staff, everyone was very polite and accommodating. Chef deserves a mention. We are vegetarians, and the kitchen staff even made it comfortable by procuring and cooking vegetarian options for us. Kids loved this place, and the chef was even able to accommodate their specific vegetarian asks. The front desk is always available to take care of your needs.

They have an outdoor room for smaller parties, a fireplace with a view, hammocks, and a nature friendly play area. This place by itself does not have all the additional recreations you may be looking for, but has a small trail. Wimberley city is like 15-20 minutes away, so if you are picky about food, groceries and other forms of entertainment, you have options there. Yes, there is good phone service here and they provide internet options but we didn’t really need it.

To summarize, staff here are a great example of going that extra mile to make your stay a pleasant one to remember and make you come back. Also, we love country style life and quiet music, so this worked really for us. Will definitely visit this place again. Worth the price. We needed a quiet and relaxing weekend, and got what we wanted.

This resort sets the standard for premium excellence with its impeccable hospitality and service. The ladies at the front desk are truly exceptional, making our stay unforgettable. In all my years of travel, I've never experienced such exceptional service – it far surpasses a mere five-star rating. My family, friends, and I were thoroughly impressed with every aspect of our stay, from the luxurious tents equipped with both AC and efficient heating systems to the overall ambiance of the resort.

Loved the experience, location, activities and atmosphere. The tents were amazing and our first night of the trip host Betty was absolutely delightful and accomodating to us. However we went on the trip for my birthday and the chef was out sick, so instead of the multiple course dinner and birthday cake - we had to go in town to a restaurant. There wasn't any type of discount or apology for the chef being out and the on-site team being unable to make the cuisine throughout the trip that was expected.

Everything about this property was well thought out, up kept, and immaculate. As a multi family property manager, I pay attention to all the details. Faculties we’re gorgeous. Property was insanely beautiful. Even how they trimmed the landscaping is so well thought out. Do yourself a favor and take your partner and or family on a weekend trip or longer to Collective Hill Country. My husband and I just celebrated our 11th anniversary there for a weekend. I cannot express how impressed my husband was with the safari tent and everything else. Being outside and still being as comfortable as you are in your own home is a feeling like no other. The tent views over the hills with the fog in the morning with our French press coffee was my favorite part. We love being away from everyone and in nature, so this was more than perfect for us. The views throughout the property are impeccable as well. Great place to reconnect or connect further and makes you realize how important time together truly is. Highly recommend!

Stayed there for a couple of days on our wedding anniversary. The idea of this arrangement is cool, and being so close to nature left us really amazed. Beautiful surroundings, nicely designed and furnished tents, a decent hiking trail. The lodge for meals/drinks is very inviting, and so is the fire pit area. Views are amazing, but not every tent comes with an open area view. We had morning coffee on our porch and enjoyed birds and nature sounds. Staff at the Collective is professional and friendly. Communication was easy, we were greeted and checked out smoothly. Breakfast is made from the locally sourced ingredients. A pastry box in the morning is a very nice touch, but I wish the pastry was at least warm if not freshly baked. Self cooked prepackaged BBQ dinner was less interesting as suggested cooking times didn't work with the heat intensity, and we ended up waiting for our dinner a bit too long. Also, not a big deal but it would have been nice to receive a small acknowledgement for our anniversary, since upon booking I was asked about the occasion for the stay. A truck noises nearby each morning were a bit annoying, but I guess not much could be done about that, and it might be temporary. Maybe it's just the beginning of the season, and later things will get into their places. To sum up, I'd go back again but would plan my stay to include more sightseeing and possibly different dining options.
