Texas is full of unique places to stay, but few compare to Onera. This treehouse resort in Fredericksburg offers the perfect marriage of nature and luxury, providing all the amenities of a five-star hotel in a peaceful setting with unlimited access to the outdoors. In my opinion, it's the most unique place to stay in Fredericksburg, Texas, and I just know you'll love it, too.

Treehouses aren't just for kids, and Onera proves it. Located in beautiful Fredericksburg, Texas, this one-of-a-kind treehouse resort offers a variety of luxury accommodations that allow you to unwind and reconnect to nature without sacrificing creature comforts.
Amenities vary based on which lodging option you choose, but some common denominators include heat and A/C, Internet, efficiency kitchens, elevated outdoor decks, private firepits, and more.
Most of the homes also have heated soaking tubs, and the two-bedroom Live Oak Lodge even has an ADA-accessible plunge pool.
No matter how you choose to experience Onera, the views are absolutely unreal. The property is filled with lush trees, twinkling lights, and manicured pathways that make it feel like your own little enchanted forest.
There are other lodging options besides treehouses as well, including bungalows, geodesic domes, and safari tents.
After enjoying some much-deserved R&R, make sure you carve out a bit of time to explore Fredericksburg. The quaint Hill Country town is overflowing with charm, much of which is owed to its rich German heritage.
Perhaps you'll pop into a few shops or try a restaurant or two...but if you only have time for one thing, I would suggest visiting Enchanted Rock. This iconic state park features a towering pink granite dome from which its name is derived, and you can climb a trail that leads to the very top.
