The perfect gift for every occasion

  • Just one way guests are welcomed to Canyon lake Ranch.
    Starview Lodge, pool and hot tub. This picture was taken from the verandah of the Main Ranch House.
    One of two secluded porches at Longhorn Lodge. The fenced yard contains the private hot tub and faces the second porch.
    The Bluebonnet room. An example of the 5 queen bedrooms. Two additional bedrooms each hold a pair of single beds. There is also a sleeper sofa in each of the two homes.
    The Sunflower Room is another example of a queen bedroom
    Summer wildflowers at the main gate
    Great-room at Starview Lodge. Note the antique Oak bank teller's cage at the left that separates the kitchen from the rest of the room. The pool and covered deck are just to the left. The three banquets on the right occasionally provide extra spots for young children.

    The picnic table, grand old Oak and spring Bluebonnets in the lower pasture
    Our Longhorns. JR is in the front - as usual!
    Photographer David Jacobson's view of Canyon Lake Ranch at sunset. Every day brings another Texas sky to Canyon Lake Ranch. "The stars at night . . .are big and bright - deep in the heart of Texas " is very true here in the Hill Country.
    Canyon Lake is just down the road. It is spectacular at every season. Do be certain to walk the Dam and see the newly uncovered Canyon Lake Gorge - a geological wonder.
    A flock of 14 wild turkeys forage through the ranch. We often hear them before we can see them. Sometimes we are lucky enough to see their beautiful fans displayed during courtin' season.
    Spencer at the pond on a sunny day. Spencer is the sweetest of our Longhorns. He allows guests to scratch him on his Texas star, helps with the calves and is very bright (having learned to walk the cattle guard and open the inner gate).
    Deer visit Canyon Lake ranch, too. Note the rack on the Buck at the left. One morning, at sunrise, 17 members of the "Motorcycle Gang" (Bucks) were counted at one time in the upper pasture.

    Wonderful Hill Country Getaway

    April 16, 2013

    This is a wonderful place for a weekend getaway. The accommodations and views are amazing. The beds were super comfy, the hot tub was great and the longhorn cows were fun to be around. The only downside was the shower heads are for those under 5' tall and the water has a sulfur smell to it, probably due to the ground water.

    Great relaxing trip in the country on a ranch with Longhorns

    February 23, 2012

    Went with my niece and friend, we are ladies in our 40's & 50's. Just the perfect get away, relaxing, in the country and quiet. Stayed at the Starview Lodge with pool and hot tub. Everyone was a delight to work with. We were well taken care of. This is on a ranch, so it is not a penthouse. It is clean and comfy,, more of a cabin/lodge feel. With 2 separate bedrooms and fold out couch in large living dining room. Two tables for dining, plus nice outside area by pool for relaxing, dining. You are out in the country away from all the city noises and problems, near Canyon Lake. They have another home for rent on property if needed and a bed and breakfast in San Antonio. Starview Lodge has the pool and hot tub.

    Love,love,LOVED it!!

    June 26, 2011

    My family and I just returned from the Starview Lodge at Canyon Lake Ranch in Hill Country. Have to be honest...my husband and I were hesitant to even write a review because we felt like we found a true hidden gem in the Strarview Lodge (we wanted to keep the secret to ourselves - but it's just so darn awesome that we couldn't). Where to start? Well, the pictures on the website simply do not do this ranch the justice it deserves. The moment you start your drive up the rolling hills through this country acreage while passing the old windmill and Longhorns on the property; well, you know that you've found something special in Canyon Lake Ranch. The Starview Lodge is an understated, smartly designed Lodge with all the comforts you could ever need (and so much more). The moment you walk through the door, you feel at ease; and this was exactly what we were looking for. The owners (who by the way were so kind and accommodating) had a bottle of wine and glasses, chocolates, nice bowl of fruit and cookies waiting on the table for us when we arrived. The Starview Lodge features a pool, gorgeous pool deck, 1/2 basketball court, sauna (indoor) and an outdoor hot tub. There are Longhorns to feed at the ranch (which was fun for the whole family). Each night we took long walks out across the ranch and then returned to watch the stars (the place has the perfect name by the way!!). The location is PERFECT!!!!! The Starview Lodge sits behind the main house on the property and is very secluded (we only saw one person the whole time we were there and that was one of the nice owners that came by to say hello as we were leaving). It sits 1/2 way between the Guadalupe river and Canyon Lake so we were able to get in plenty of other activities around Hill Country without having to travel too far at all. We were so comfortable and had such an amazing time at Starview Lodge, we didn’t want to leave, but we’re definitely planning a second trip in the future!

    Home on the range

    March 04, 2011

    My wife and I stayed at the Lonestar facility the last weekend in February and the web page cannot do the place justice. The home and property are much larger than you see your screen. Everything you could want or need is on the property. We brought two dogs and it was perfect for a family with pets. The longhorn cattle were incredible. Throw in free wine, fruit basket, and cookies it is a slice of heaven
