The Best Time of Year to Visit Johnny Yurts
There's something truly magical about fall and early winter in the Texas Hill Country—and at Johnny Yurts, this season is when the land shines its brightest. Whether you're looking for crisp mornings, lively festivals, or twinkling holiday lights, this is the time to plan your getaway.
Cooler Weather, Cozy Evenings
As the Texas heat gives way to cooler breezes, the Hill Country becomes the perfect backdrop for outdoor adventures and evenings under the stars. It's the ideal season to sip local wine on your yurt's private porch, gather around a fire pit, or simply breathe in the fresh, cedar-scented air. Stargazing is especially breathtaking this time of year—our skies seem clearer, our stars even brighter.
Oktoberfest and Local Festivals
Fall brings a calendar full of festivals, from Oktoberfest celebrations in nearby towns to local markets and live music events. You'll find the Hill Country alive with German heritage, seasonal food and drink, and plenty of community spirit. It's the perfect chance to mix a relaxing retreat with a taste of Texas culture.
