Dixie Daisy Airstream, Hill Country, Texas 
Cowgirl-themed curtains, bright tiles and bright-yellow walls set the scene for this retro Airstream, set amongst hundreds of elm trees on Smith Creek, in Texas Hill Country. It’s the spot for an al fresco shower, toasting s’mores over the fire pit, or soaking in the hot tubs beneath the twinkly fairy lights. Phone signal isn’t guaranteed, so guests get a remote, ‘switch- off’ location with nearby rolling hills, creeks, swimming holes and nature trails. The nearby Pedernales Falls State Park is also a great hiking and wild swimming spot. www.coolstays.com/property/dixie-daisy/16826
