EPISODE 166

How He's Reimagining Outdoor Hospitality Through the Restoration of 970 acres of Texas Hill Country

Meet Dylan Barahona, General Manager at Canyon of the Eagles, a nature resort and preserve on 940 acres of land, located just 1.5 Hours from Austin, Texas.

If you were to have asked Dylan at ten-years-old what he wanted to be when he grew up, he'd tell you either a professional baseball player or a chef. 

And while neither of those dreams quite panned out, the latter, dream set him on path to pursue a career in hospitality, and, over the last decade, Dylan has become a highly-regarded and respect voice in outdoor hospitality. 

In this episode, Dylan and I discuss:

  • How he's reimagining outdoor hospitality through the restoration of 970 acres of Texas Hill Country
  • The importance of building an event strategy at your glamping resort 
  • The future of fine dining in the glamping space
  • The opportunities he sees for hospitality entrepreneurs in the space
  • And so much more
