Pros:

I can't say enough about this place. One of the most relaxing weekends I can remember. I stayed in a Yurt and everything was as pictured and described, if not better. Staff was super friendly and the facilities were spectacular. Can't wait to return.

Pros:

A great little escape. This is a great property and we had a fun ‘escape’. We stayed in one of the yurts for two nights and it was great. The AC worked very well and there are a lot of fun things to do on the property and in the area. We really enjoyed the pool and longing there. The property looks just as good as the photos!

Pros:

We had a wonderful family getaway at Lucky Arrow Retreat! A quick and easy trip outside of Austin, it felt like the perfect balance of nature and relaxation. The setting is peaceful, with plenty of outdoor space to enjoy. Our family loved spending time at the pool with munchies and cocktails and playing games together—our Jenga competition was a highlight! The cabins are very comfortable and well thought out, and the property is right next door to Bell Springs Winery, which made for a fun live-music and sipping. Lucky Arrow is a great spot for families looking to unwind, reconnect, and enjoy the Texas Hill Country!

The cabin layout was nice and modern and the hot tub was convenient having it right outside. Lack of restaurant being staffed was somewhat disappointing but otherwise would highly recommend

Pros:

outdoor areas are walkable and unique choices to make for lodging. Winery is walkable.
There are no dislikes, but I might suggest some nice landscaping be added an added to the natural landscaping.

Abysmal communications, even if gorgeous property
Pros:

This review is for private events.

They don't answer their phone, it takes several days up to several weeks to get a response, often with incomplete or conflicting information - or sometimes never getting questions answered at all. They don't talk to each other so they can double book across salespeople, or across events like weddings & events promoting their property - make sure you know exactly what's on the books, what's in your contract, if you have to book alcohol through them, and get everything in writing.

I couldn't get clear pricing and felt swindled into the biggest package as if there was no other option, and then they 4x-ed the cost of alcohol on top of the already costly venue rental. It's important to look at all up costs for the full wedding knowing you'll be 12.5K or more for the physical location, tables and chairs. Pictures from their brochure don't represent their inventory, such as arches.

Be prepared to take care of every single last detail down to bringing your own trash bags. I would only recommend booking here if you have a coordinator that will do it all - definitely not just day of - and full staff catering that includes staff, rentals, all food, and bar. You'll need separate lighting. We piece-mealed it together not realizing how much had to be done to make this venue function for an event, which ended up costing us at least 3-4x what a more inclusive venue would have, totally 18 vendors throughout the weekend.

There are only snacks onsite, a food truck seems usually open next door for lunch, but otherwise, we fed our guests all meals through the weekend else they'd be driving into town or all BYO, which would hard for those flying in to get glamping / grilling in order. People were always on the search for water, the speakers in the beer garden weren't working and had to be fixed. They are way understaffed so ordering drinks from the pool is unreliable, for example.

Individuals were really nice. It just felt understaffed, that they weren't empowered to make decisions or make things happen, that their systems aren't set up for error proof processes. It was honestly a huge mess. I near risked my job to find the time to do all the necessary planning to get through it.

In the end, guests loved the property, the thoughtfully designed cabins, the pools, eating under the trees, the view from the overlook, many spaces to spend quality time together and rooftop dancing. So the ultimate guest experience is why I'm giving them any stars, but it was a terrible, stressful, heavy planning and execution experience from the bride's vantage point to pull it off.

Pros:

This place has thought of it all! From check in to each detail. Super cute, loved pool area, game room. We stayed in a breezeway cabin and had own personal hot tub. Was hot and ready to go. Slept so well with room darkening curtains and good AC! Walkable path to winery next door!! Will come here again!!!

Pros:

So to start with the yurt it was supposed to have a mini fridge and a microwave and had neither and there is no food out there. They were nice enough to keep some of my food in their fridge at reception BUT naturally they only have limited opening hours so like for a later dinner I wound up having to drive 20 minutes out to Whataburger. I think they also need to get some more restrooms that are closer. As for the pool it was lovely but you weren't allowed to use the Cabanas unless you paid $250 which just kind of gave me a bad nickel and diming vibe. They also only have hot tubs with their more expensive options the cabins which is disappointing. It was still a nice day but 175 a night for something that doesn't have a bathroom mini fridge or anything is kind of crazy
