Things To Do Nearby

Located on the scenic Devil’s Backbone Highway between Canyon Lake and San Marcos, we are near some of the Hill Country’s best-loved hot spots.

Nature & Outdoors

From tubin’ the Guadalupe, fishing or boating Canyon Lake or jumping in the crystal clear Blue Hole, there are four rivers, a lake and a creek with three swimming holes within 30 minutes. You’ll also find hiking and biking trails, state and county parks, and nature preserves wherever you look. There are miles of hiking trails at Canyon Peaks Ranch, and we provide a trail map. There are several beautiful scenic drives (including the drive back and forth from our cottages.) The springtime is perfect for viewing bluebonnets and other wildflowers.

Gruene Hall has music every day of the year and is always a fun time! White Water on the Guadalupe has a full line up of outdoor concerts including Willie Nelson, Dwight Yokum, John Fogerty, Randy Rogers and many other bands. There are several other music venues in New Braunfels and San Marcos. There are several bars along the water in Canyon Lake and Wimberley. We are right down the road from one of the most famous old dive bars in Texas – The Devil’s Backbone Tavern.
