Bachelorette weekend itinerary
Two cabins, ten women, two nights — a typical bachelorette weekend looks like this:
- Friday 3:30pm — Check in, drop bags, walk to the river
- Friday evening — Charcuterie + firepit + matching tank-top photos
- Saturday 11am — Float the spring-fed San Marcos (Ultimate Wristbands)
- Saturday 5pm — BYO dinner at picnic tables, bride games at the firepit
- Sunday 11am — Checkout, easy 45-minute drive home
Family reunion itinerary
- Three Safari Cabins side-by-side = ~27 people under shared shade
- Reserve a row of picnic tables for shared meals
- Kids tube on calm pool, adults run the longer float
- Group photo at the cypress trees at golden hour
- S'mores + storytelling by the firepit
Group pricing math
A Safari Cabin is $99/night on weekdays through June 11th. Split between 9 adults that's ~$11/person/night — cheaper than a tent site at most state parks and you're not pitching anything. See current pricing on specials.
Why groups pick Son's over the alternatives
- One booking, not ten hotel rooms.
- Air-conditioned cabins — Texas heat doesn't ruin Saturday afternoon.
- Private river + shuttle — no fighting for parking at a public launch.
- Bundle discount — overnight stays get 25% off day-rental add-ons.
