Capture the Light
WAHWAHTAYSEE means “firefly” in the Chippewa language.
The fascination with the firefly is one that does not fade no
matter how old we get. The flit of light they bring to a field at
dusk is a tiny reminder of how enchanting life can be – a joy
we don’t want to fade. So we capture it, but why? Is it simply
to capture the light in a jar, or are we seeking to capture the
magic for a little while longer, allowing us the luxury to awe
at its glow from a comfortable distance?
Wahwahtaysee Resort was created with this same idea in
mind. The adventure of nature has been given to us as a gift.
It is something that can and should be enjoyed. Our family
has built Wahwahtaysee to allow you to revel in the beauty
of the star-filled Texas sky with the rush of the San Marcos
river at your door, all while surrounded by the comforts of a
luxury hotel. We built this resort as a family, so that you
and your family might get to experience the magic of the
Texas country.
Think of Wahwahtaysee Resort for what it is, a tiny reminder
of how enchanting life can be, if you only remember to seek
it out.
and a hammock, providing the perfect spot for relaxing with a book
or a morning cup of coffee while nature provides a soothing sound-
track. There is also an outdoor shower for a truly unique experience.
With over 100 acres of land and extensive river frontage, Wahwah-
taysee Resort offers something for everyone. Rest and relax in the
luxurious safari tents, hike the property’s many walking trails, pick
pecans in the 150-year-old pecan orchard, swim or tube from the
numerous private beaches on the aquamarine San Marcos River,
watch for shooting stars and fireflies, watch the beautiful sunsets over
the pasture, and simply relax and listen to the sounds of nature. Feel-
ing more adventurous? Wahwahtaysee Resort recently partnered
with Go Outside Expedition Company to provide custom fly-fishing
trips, where you’ll be picked up directly on the water at Wahwahtay-
see’s private beach. You can choose from half- or full-day float trips,
kayak fly-fishing, water casting lessons, or paddling trips.
Wahwahtaysee Resort, both family and pet friendly, is now accepting
reservations with prices starting at $300/night.

come. Their vision was to create a local getaway for their family and
friends to experience the great outdoors, while providing all the com-
forts and luxuries of a five-star resort. After a safari in South Africa,
the Dillard family decided that safari tents would perfectly encapsu-
late the look and feel they wished to create. Guests would enjoy the
incredible experience of spending the night in a tent in the middle of
nature, with all the comforts of a luxury hotel.
The property features three luxury safari tents, which were custom
made and designed in South Africa. The three tents, The Stargazer,
The Little Dipper, and The Sanctuary, are 650 square feet and feature
all the amenities of a Four-Seasons Resort. The bedroom includes a
king-size bed, and there is a queen sleeper sofa in the living room to
accommodate additional guests and families. The modern bathroom
features a large shower and a spa bathtub. Luxury linens, bedding,
and towels are provided. A kitchenette comes equipped with a refrig-
erator, microwave, and a coffeemaker and there is a dining area to
enjoy your meals. There is a Green Egg to barbecue your own meals,
or you can pre-order a Yeti dinner, where your tent will come with a
Yeti cooler stocked with organic ingredients and a recipe card to make
your own meal. With air conditioning, heating, and hardwood floors,
you’ll enjoy all the comforts of a five-star resort, while surrounded
by beautiful nature. The spacious living area extends outdoors onto
the expansive deck where you can truly disconnect from day-to-day
life and reconnect with the great outdoors. There is outdoor furniture
