Collective Hill Country - a Retreat at Montesino Ranch

This is one of our favorite places to go in Texas. We started going for special weekends in 2023 with our dog and keep coming back. Holston took incredible care of us this visit, making for another great trip before the holidays. Coming back in 2025!

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.

The entire experience surpassed our expectations! The staff was amazing in every aspect, the tents were beautiful and set up so nicely, and we couldn't have enjoyed our stay more! Did I mention how awesome the staff was?!?! We can't wait to go back and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a glamping getaway with top tier accommodations!

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.
