Champagne Summer Specials

Midweek summer stays sure beat coming on busy weekends. Sparkly late mornings in the San Marcos River are the best....one guest described it as “like swimming in a glass of champagne”. We will give you a bottle of bubbles and a 15% discount (off weekend rates) to come see for yourself!

FUN murder mysteries are now booking for Aug 26-27, Sept 9-10, Oct 28-29, Dec 9-10, and beyond. New Year's Eve is almost full already! Got an upcoming birthday or anniversary? Think unforgettable gifts and hilarious group celebrations.

Our Riverside Lodge (see waterfall photo below) is largely booked for the summer, but fall weekends and the holidays are great times to come. Make your plans now! Think river trips and family fun..
