After more than 20 years of living and traveling around the globe—from Europe to Central Asia—Ann-Tyler and Brian Konradi returned to Texas with a vision to blend international hospitality inspiration with the natural serenity of the Texas Hill Country. Drawn to the charm and creative energy of Wimberley and Dripping Springs, they built a retreat that reflects their shared love of travel, design, and restorative outdoor spaces.
In 2019, they founded The Yurtopian, a luxury glamping resort inspired by the traditional Mongolian yurts they discovered during their travels. What began as a boutique property in Wimberley quickly gained attention from travelers, influencers, and media outlets, eventually expanding to a second location in Dripping Springs. Today, The Yurtopian offers 16 authentic Mongolian yurts across two Hill Country locations — 6 in Wimberley, 10 in Dripping Springs, each intentionally designed with curated interiors, panoramic views, and resort-level amenities.
Ann-Tyler and Brian remain fully engaged in operations, supported by a skilled hospitality team. They live in the Hill Country with their Maltipoo Mila, who serves as Head of Ranch Security.
