An Absolute Gem in Nature!This place is a total dream. If you’re looking for a getaway that perfectly blends the raw beauty of nature with high-end design, this is it. You can tell immediately that so much thought and heart were poured into every single detail—the aesthetic is stunning and curated with so much style.The atmosphere is peaceful and incredibly chic, making it the perfect spot to unwind without sacrificing comfort.What truly made our stay special, though, was the host. He was incredibly kind, welcoming, and went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. It’s rare to find such genuine hospitality these days, and his helpful tips and warm energy really elevated the whole experience.I cannot recommend this place enough. We left feeling refreshed and inspired. A true 5-star experience!

Golden Pine Village is truly something special. This stunning 25-acre property offers the perfect balance of wooded serenity and open, cleared spaces; creating an environment that naturally invites healing, connection, and presence.I had the honor of offering a guided meditation here focused on heart-centered awareness, and the land itself supported the experience in such a profound way. There is an undeniable energy to this space that makes it ideal for retreats, gatherings, and meaningful community experiences.The owner and caretaker brings a rare level of compassion, intention, and care to the land. You can feel that this is more than just a venue; it’s a space that has been nurtured with deep respect and purpose.If you’re looking for a place to escape the stress of the city for a few nights of glamping, host a wedding, retreat, or transformational experience, Golden Pine Village offers a grounded, beautiful, and energetically supportive setting that’s hard to find anywhere else.Highly recommend.

I came for a private Retreat - most of the events were in the Temple and main house except private nature time, yoga and fireside music. Beautifully appointed luxury in a perfectly rustic setting. Dining, hot tub and sauna, cabins, & yurts - plus Fairy Lights! The nicely appointed Glampimg Bath house was an unexpected surprise! A lovely fire under the stars was the bow on top. A deeply special place. ❤️🌻🔥🧚‍♂️💫#glamorouslytraveling

The land has something special and hard to describe with words.And not only that, the communities and events that take place there make it more special :)

Five stars all the way! Golden Pine Village was the perfect venue for our wellness retreat. The setting is absolutely lovely and provided a peaceful atmosphere that truly enhanced our experience. It’s clear the space was designed with intention, as it had everything we could’ve hoped for to keep our group comfortable and engaged.A huge thank you to the owner/event coordinator, who was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process—his attention to detail made the planning seamless. I also stayed overnight in one of the glamping tents and found it to be very comfortable, peaceful and inviting. I loved waking up to bird song! I can't recommend Golden Pine enough for anyone looking to host a meaningful event!

I'm so eternally grateful for being able to experience this magical place. Besides the GORGEOUS way this place was built, it has a HUGE HEART that mirrors Shmulys(the owner). I would definitely go back the moment I'm back in the US to nourish myself with the presence of this exceptional land. Thank you so much!

This place was WOW!!!! Golden Pines is truly a special place. Peaceful, beautifully designed, and surrounded by nature, it feels like a true retreat, not just an Airbnb.

Everything is thoughtfully set up, from the communal areas to the quiet corners. If you’re looking for an event venue, retreat center, or unique Airbnb experience that actually delivers, Golden Pines is it. Highly Recommended for anyone who's looking for a great nature experience.

This place is magical, a little piece of heaven in Texas.The environment is beautiful, the energy feels grounded and nourishing, and every corner reflects thoughtful, intentional touches. There are so many cozy, inviting outdoor spaces that stay cool and comfortable, while the house itself feels warm, welcoming, and full of heart.I’ve been here for a beautiful, romantic wedding as well as several community events, and each experience has been special in its own way. It’s a space that holds connection, celebration, and presence with ease.Highly recommended ✨

The magic on this land is palpable. The layout is easy and intuitive and has everyone needed. My stay there was comfortable, joyful and so much fun. I will definitely be back - thank you!

2025-12-09T19:45:12.255Z

I’ve attended a few events at this event venue now - and it has become my favorite. I live in Austin and this place is a true retreat away from the city. It feels like the most magical space I’ve been to - from all of the different spaces on the property, to the wide open spaces next to it, there’s so many surprises on this property that blew my expectations away. The craftsmanship is beautiful. I look forward to more events here.

2025-12-09T18:20:48.316Z

My favorite venue for retreats and community gatherings in Austin. The energy of this land is incredibly unique- magical, nourishing, and deeply transformational. The founders are truly special souls whose devotion to service, community, and conscious living infuses everything they do. Their willingness to support the collective and elevate every event is exceptional. Golden Pine Village is a true sanctuary.

We were looking for a place to take photos, and we found this magical place!! Photogenic for photos and the staff was amazing and friendly

As I type this I’m 43, and in my adult life I’ve attended, catered or officiated A LOT of weddings. Of course, that means I’ve been fortunate to see tons of incredible and unique wedding venues all over Texas and Louisiana. That being said, this past weekend I was wedding planner AND officiant for my best friend’s wedding at The Golden Pine. I didn’t quite realize until the day of the event that their wedding was the very first wedding that they’ve hosted. The property as a whole is beautiful, and they’ve really worked very hard to create a special experience all over the venue grounds, inside and out. They meticulously placed beautiful lighting, even using outdoor chandeliers for the bar, and the space that we used for dinner and the dance floor. The owner and staff were extremely professional and very helpful throughout the entire process. One of the things that really stood out the most was their attention to detail and their propped communication leading up to the day of the wedding as well as all throughout the day. Anytime I needed anything or had any questions I received help and support within minutes. I would highly recommend this venue, not only as a wedding venue, but would also be a great place to hold a big party or family reunion or corporate outing, etc. Even though I live in North Austin and it was about an hour drive. It was a very easy drive and I can’t say enough good things about this place.

Golden Pine Village is truly a hidden gem near Austin. Surrounded by tall pine trees, it offers a peaceful retreat with a perfect balance of rustic charm and modern comfort. I stayed here for a week after leaving the busy city, and it felt just like home — cozy accommodations, professional service, and a calming atmosphere. At night, watching the stars and the clear moon was unforgettable.I was truly amazed by this place. After living in a bustling city for 20 years and traveling to many destinations, I have never felt as touched and at peace as I did here. Golden Pine Village is the perfect choice for retreats, weddings, or simply recharging your spirit in nature

If you are searching for a place to truly disconnect from the noise and reconnect with yourself or your partner, the Golden Dome at Golden Pine Retreat is the perfect choice. My wife and I stayed here for our anniversary, and it felt like we stepped into a different world. A world that is peaceful, intentional, and filled with natural beauty.The dome is more than just a place to sleep. It is a sanctuary for rest, connection, and deep rejuvenation. Every detail is crafted with care. The king bed is incredibly comfortable, the lighting is warm and calming, and the view of the surrounding trees makes you feel embraced by nature. The atmosphere naturally invites you to slow down, breathe deeper, and connect to what really matters.We both embraced the fire and ice experience. I alternated between the crystal clay hot tub and the cold plunge several times, and each round left me feeling alive, clear, and recharged. My wife joined me, and we agreed it was one of the most powerful and refreshing experiences we have shared.What made this visit even more meaningful was meeting Thunder, the legendary longhorn we had heard about for years. We finally saw him in person during this stay, and it felt like a blessing. His calm presence and majestic energy added to the sacredness of the experience. I am including photos and videos because that moment was unforgettable.That evening, we stepped outside to look at the stars, and it was breathtaking. With no city lights to dim the sky, we stood on the deck and looked up at a blanket of stars. It was so quiet, so still, and so beautiful that we just stood there in awe. It was a moment that made time feel like it stopped.I have been to Golden Pine many times before for events, weddings, and retreats. But staying in the dome was something entirely different. It felt like the soul of the entire property. Whether you are celebrating a special occasion, seeking healing and stillness, or just want to reconnect with what is most important, this space will give you exactly what your heart has been asking for.

If you’re looking for a magical, nature-inspired place to get married, this is it.

Top notch facility and host. The ambiance delivers a 'magic in the air' feeling and the owner, Shmuly, is accommodating and responsive. We found the space to be comfortable, private, and a great backdrop to making beautiful memories. Thanks Shmuly!

Golden Pine is truly a gem and a magical place to host a wedding. Ive been a planner in Austin for over a decade now and there’s a special energy to this place that you can feel the moment you arrive.I had the honor of supporting my friends wedding here. It was nothing short of breathtaking. The property is peaceful, spacious, and surrounded by nature’s beauty. As the sun sets, the land becomes gorgeously lit and incredibly romantic, perfect for a sacred union ceremony. Highly recommend to any couple looking for a meaningful, serene, and stunning location to say I do <3

We had the absolute honor of getting married at Golden Pine, and I don’t even know where to begin… this place holds something special. The energy there is so sacred, peaceful, and groundin. It truly felt like the land itself was blessing our union.We originally planned to have our ceremony outdoors, but last minute the weather shifted, and we decided to move it inside. What could have felt like a stressful change ended up being one of the most magical decisions, we were completely in awe of how beautiful, intimate, and heart-opening the space felt indoors. And when the rain cleared, we still got to enjoy the breathtaking outdoor setting. Honestly, it was perfect in every way.Shmuley, the owner, is such a kind and genuine soul. Working with him was so easy and comfortable. He was supportive, flexible, and truly cared about making sure everything went smoothly for us. And it did! Our wedding day was the most love-filled, seamless, magical event we could have ever imagined.The combination of Golden Pine with our incredible vendors created something truly unforgettable. The land, the space, the people. it all came together like a dream. We will forever hold this place in our hearts and recommend it to anyone looking for a venue that radiates beauty, presence, and soul.Thank you, Golden Pine and Shmuley, for being such a meaningful part of the most important day of our lives.
