My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful 2-day stay at Sinya on Lone Man Creek, complements of our daughters and son-in-law. The Sinya "glamping" experience was great fun. The facility is an actual heavy-duty tent, built on a wooden plank base and supported by natural-shaped sections of tree. Lynn has it decorated in safari motif. There was a small microwave, toast oven, and micro-refrigerator with freezer.
The setting is beautiful: on a limestone bluff high above Lone Man Creek. Lots of birds--particularly hummingbirds--graced the surrounding area. I even took a little time to do some fishing in the creek--caught nothing other than a few dozen chigger bites! We brought in new days and closed out days sitting on the veranda, which overlooks the creek and surrounding hillsides. Not being stuck with "routines," the mornings began with coffee on the veranda and ended with wine there.
Amenities at Sinya include a 5-foot diameter hot tub, which was a galvanized circular tank to create the rustic safari feel. It is heated with a propane-fueled heater, so we would just check the temperature, fire up the boiler, and wait just 20-40 minutes to get it up to temperature. This was a favorite. In addition to a large deep claw-foot porcelain-lined tub with large shower head indoors, there was an outdoor shower, too. The latter was used often, both before and after hot-tub sessions. Very fun!
Sinya is conveniently located, providing easy access to a number of events in the area. The Wimberley Zip Line Adventure was a real highlight for us both. A total of 10 lines, running as long as 900 feet. We also took part in an olive oil and wine tasting at Bella Vista Ranch, which produces both products. We spent a couple of hours at the Wimberley Market Days, which is hosted by the Lions Club on about 16 acres of land--we saw just a small portion of it before the heat exceeded our capacity! There is a excellent glass works outside of town. We were able to see and hear described (did this in Murano, Italy, but there the "hearing" part was limited!) how this art form is employed. Food in the Wimberley area was ample, varied, and almost all good. The Cypress Creek Café for lunch and the Milagros Mexican Restaurant for dinner were particularly good. The Wimberley Café is the go-to place for breakfast: took 1-1/2 hours to get seated, served, and billed! Marco's Italian was pretty good, too.
