Talula Mesa
Wake up to beautiful views of the Texas Hill Country from your own air-conditioned cowboy tent. What makes these tents especially magical are the floor-to-ceiling glass fronts on them, allowing you to take in nature right from your bed. There are 3 grand tents to choose from, which all share one communal bathroom area with outdoor showers, along with the Mini Aztec, a small wooden tent that’s great for kids! Each larger tent comes with a king-sized bed and an upper loft area (where you could stick your kid if you want). This property is also dog-friendly for a small fee, as long as you arrange it in advance! You can find Talula Mesa out between Marble Falls and Lago Vista, very close to Turkey Bend Recreational Area.
Rates start at $250/night for the grand tents, and $85/night for their mini Aztec tent. Book your own stay at Talula Mesa here.

The Yurtopian
If you’re looking for peace and quiet in the Texas Hill Country, look no further than the remote hilltop yurts offered by Yurtopia Wimberley. Each of the remote yurts has their own upper rooftop deck for peak Texas Hill Country views, a hot tub, a small kitchen/grill area, and more.

Perfect if you want to spend your hot summer days relaxing in the Blanco River!
Because of their popularity, they’ve also now opened a second location in Dripping Springs. Each of these new yurts are designed to be “remote” for maximum privacy in the woods 150 feet of woods in between each yurt, to be exact). They each have their own amenities, like their hot tubs, as well as swimming hole access.
No guests under 21 or pets allowed. Rates start around $250/night. Book your stay at The Yurtopian here.

![Toboggan on a street? Only in Madeira, Portugal! 🇵🇹
Madeira was the first stop on my 8-day Captivating Canary Islands cruise with @windstarcruises [hosted]. 🛳️
Luckily, we were docked there over night, so I had plenty of time to explore the port city of Funchal, including with a tuk tuk tour and this exhilarating toboggan ride.
This is the only place in the world you can toboggan on land without snow or guiding rails! You ride down in traditional wicker basket sledges with two runners, hitting up to 30 km/hr as you travel down from Monte.
The toboggans date back to the early 19th century where they were used as a means of transport by the local residents who wanted to travel quickly from the village of Monte to the city of Funchal. And nowadays, they’re definitely a blast for thrill seekers!
👉 SAVE this for your bucket list! Would you ride the toboggans? Let me know in the comments!
