Getaway Hill Country Cabin: Things to Do & Where to Eat in Wimberley, TX
(Updated: 2023)
Getaway is a collection of tiny homes all over the U.S. under 2 hours outside of major cities where you can trade your city life for a few nights of nature and tranquility. Getaway was founded by Jon Staff who created this to do exactly that - Get. Away.
I already have a full-blown review of Getaway House Dallas where I talk more in-depth about what to expect inside your tiny house including the amenities, style, and comfort, and the check-in and check-out process. That review applies to Getaway Hill Country as well! The cabins and experience from booking to arriving at your cabin, to departing are exactly the same. So I won’t bore you with those details all over again!

Getaway Cabin & Location Review
All of the Hill Country cabins are private and face the outside perimeter of the community. Being located in the Texas Hill Country, some of the tiny homes will have views of the hills, and some just of the local trees and greenery. Either way, the area is beautiful!
If you’ve read the Getaway Dallas cabin review, then you know all the details of the interior of the cabins. As a quick overview though, each cabin includes:
Shower (with hot water)
Toilet
Bulk shampoo and body wash
Mini-fridge
2 burner stove
All the utensils and pans you’d need
Queen-size bed (with comfortable bedding)
Table with a chair
Landline phone
AC & heater
In addition to those luxuries, the cabin also comes with a deck of cards, a radio, books, lanterns, and pet accessories. You truly have everything you could need for your stay! Just bring yourself and a change of clothes and Getaway takes care of the rest.
The road to the cabins is dirt, so drive slowly and avoid washing your car before heading here (I learned the hard way).
This Getaway community is just under 1 hour from central Austin and about an hour and 15 minutes from San Antonio in Wimberley, TX, a truly spectacular and exciting town in Central Texas. The perfect location for something like Getaway! Outside of your cabin, there is so much to do in town. Keep reading to learn of some must-do things and eats in the area!
Things to Do at Your Getaway Cabin
Unplug
Don’t bother bringing your laptops with you, Getaway has no Wi-Fi! The atmosphere encourages you to silence your phone or better yet, turn it off and throw it into the cell phone lock box that is located in the cabin. Unplugging from your devices is probably one of the most valuable actions you can take during your time here.
Hike
The Getaway locations have at least one short trail within the community and usually, others that may be a short drive from your cabin in the area. I will get to some of those options later in Wimberley!
Getting out and spending time on some trails, just you and nature is such a healing and healthy experience.
Read a book
Turn off your brain and dive into a good book surrounded by silence and beauty. Your cabin actually has a small selection available or bring your own book along. Either way, set some time aside to do this.
Pitch a hammock
If you are lucky, your cabin will be surrounded by the perfect trees to pitch a hammock.
Roast marshmallows
You can’t have a glamping experience without roasting marshmallows over a fire. Good thing your Getaway house comes with an outdoor fire pit, firewood, and fire starters!
Try your hand at cooking your meal over a fire
Get a fire going and cook a meal over the fire. We cooked eggs, vegan bacon, and assorted veggies over the fire. Getaway supplies the foil you need for this. (They ask that you don’t use their pans for cooking over a fire. Bring your own if you wish or use foil!)
Meditate/yoga
Breathe in the fresh air and be one with nature by getting outside for a yoga or meditation session.
Journal
Bring along a journal and spend a few minutes in your day to reflect inward and jot down your thoughts. I spent about 20 minutes a day journaling each of the days I spent at Getaway.
Do nothing
Don’t think, don’t worry about tomorrow, don’t allow the negativity of the news, work, or your stress during your stay here. Just “be.” And if that means doing nothing and turning off your thoughts, do that! Nature is a healer.
