Most "glamping near Austin" results assume summer. Son's River Ranch is open all 12 months, with central A/C and heat in every cabin and a spring-fed river that runs 72° year-round. Fall, winter, and early spring are some of the best stays we offer.
A/C + Heat
Private firepit
72° river all year
Quiet off-season
Climate control, every cabin
Both Glamping Cabins and Safari Cabins have central A/C and heat. Real beds, real bedding, real lighting. Texas weather can swing 40° in a day — your cabin won't notice.
What to do off-season
- Firepit nights — bring s'mores, the cabin handles the rest
- Cold-weather river walks — cypress trees + mist + zero crowds
- Day trips — Gruene, Wimberley, San Marcos shopping all within 25 minutes
- Reading + quiet — the off-season is the loudest argument for off-season
- Polar-bear floats — yes, the river is still 72°. Bring a wetsuit and a story to tell.
Holiday & winter weekend ideas
- Thanksgiving weekend — cabin Thanksgiving with the family on the river

- New Year's Eve — fireworks over the river
- Valentine's — see our romantic getaway guide
