drive
from the Guadalupe River and River Road. Most area outfitters
(tube, raft & kayak rentals) are located along River Road.

Lodge form Schlitterbahn (the world's largest
water park)?

in New Braunfels - just a 20 minute drive up the road.

Are pets welcome?
While we too are pet
lovers, our lodge is too small to dedicate a room for pets and their
owners. (Sorry).

We are bringing our
boat. Is there somewhere to moor it on the lake?
Technically, no.
Canyon Lake is maintained by the US Army Corp of Engineers who
prohibit the mooring of boats except at one of the authorized
marinas. Boats must therefore be "trailered" but may be
parked on our property. (We are just 100 yards from the
water).

night minimum
stay requirement for Memorial Day, Fourth of July & Labor Day
Weekends.)
