From site selection and design to construction and a turn-key opening—Artistree provided Onera Fredericksburg a complete boutique hotel operations.
This Artistree developed site sold for two times the invested costs a mere 9 months after first opening. Onera Fredericksburg was created to be the Hill Country’s premier glamping site with 11 uniques units. The resulting hotel outperforms most rentals in the area by more than 50%, with Artistree’s two treehouses having the site's highest ADR and occupancy.
Onera is a bespoke glamping development with a different type of unit for everyone's tastes. Four "soft-sided" structures include a safari tent, bushtek tent, geodesic dome, and a tent called the cocoon. The four "hard-sided" structures are two container homes with rooftop decks and two Artistree treehouses, the Spyglass and Monarch.
