Summer Camp for Your Whole Group

Decorative scroll style divider with a star

Most Canyon Lake cabins sleep one family. But if you want to bring a larger group for more of a summer camp vibe, there’s not really a good place that fits that. We built Starlight Horizon so everyone could stay in one place, out in nature in the Texas Hill Country.

There are 14 private cabins on five acres, closer to a cluster of cottages than a hotel. Each cabin has its own kitchen, bathroom and porch, so every family or couple gets real space of their own during the day.

At night everyone ends up in the same spot: around the fire pits, at the pool, or losing at giant Connect Four. It feels like summer camp did when you were a kid, with real beds and air conditioning.

Thank You For Visiting

Bringing Starlight Horizon to life has been a dream of mine for years. I wanted to create a place where families and friends could capture that magical summer camp feeling of togetherness, laughter, and connection in a way that could be enjoyed year-round, not just for a week in the summer.

My hope is that this place gives you a space to slow down, reconnect, and make memories that last long after you leave. We work hard to make every stay special, and I’m so grateful you’ve taken the time to check us out.

Thank you for letting us be a small part of your story. I look forward to welcoming you, your family, and your friends here, again and again.

With gratitude,

Ryan Tanel

The main shared pool is unfortunately not heated. The Hot Tub Cabin has a private hot tub though, so we encourage you to book that one if you are looking for a hot tub.

The Hot Tub Cabin is the only cabin with a hot tub.

We unfortunately do not have a large common indoor meeting space. Many guests rent a tent from a local vendor for $2k to $4k if they are looking for an indoor space. The pool area, terrace, and games area are welcome to be used for group gatherings, but they are outdoors. Each cabin is large with 1,400 square feet, and each cabin has a full kitchen, so the cabins are used as the property’s indoor areas.

22095 FM 306, Canyon Lake, TX 78133.

We’re nestled in the heart of the Texas Hill Country at Canyon Lake, about an hour from San Antonio and a little over an hour from Austin. Our cabins are perfectly positioned for lake adventures, wine country tours, and exploring the best of the Hill Country.

Each Cabin has 3 bedrooms, a primary with a king bed and ensuite bathroom with shower and bathtub, and 2 guest rooms with queen beds that share a bathroom with a shower.  The living room has a pull out couch that could sleep 1-2 more people for a total of 8.  There are additional rollaway cots available, and pack and play cribs for children.  Additional guests may come and be in the cabins during the day, but if guests are staying the night it is recommended to have a maximum of 8 guests per cabin.

YES! You are welcome / encouraged to host your parties and events here.  If you book out the entire property there is a lot of flexibility in what you are allowed to do on site.  However if you do not book out the entire property we do ask that you are respectful of other guests during their stay.

We currently do NOT charge any additional fees for weddings or events.  If you would like to make sure certain areas are reserved just for your use, it is encouraged to book out the entire property.  Other than the lodging charges, there are no additional fees if you want to host a wedding or other event on site. 

Yes we allow room blocks.  This is typically requested for weddings or big groups when the organizer wants to keep multiple cabins reserved for only their party of guests, but wants each guest to pay individually for their own cabin.  In order to reserve cabins for additional guests to book separately, a $150 payment is required.  This is a non-refundable deposit and does not go towards your total booking cost.  With the $150 payment, you can hold/reserve as many cabins as you would like for your stay dates (example, all 14 cabins reserved from Oct 14th-17th for the Smith Wedding Party).  We will hold those rooms in reserve only for your group at a locked in price agreed upon ahead of time.  These are reserved up until 60 days prior to your event.  60 days prior to your event, any unbooked cabins are opened up for publicly available booking, and the prices can adjust to market rate prices.  

While we do not have an on site office, our staff is on the property everyday from 9am to 5pm. If needed after hours, our staff lives within 5 minutes of the property and can answer any questions you have quickly, or respond to any problems you have very promptly so you are not left stranded.

There could be a number of reasons including they are currently booked by other guests for that date, or there is an error with our system. Give us a call at 512-859-5810 and we can help you.

We love hosting families with kids of all ages.  Each cabin has a pack and play inside, as well as additional roll away cots on request.  The games area includes volleyball, Ping Pong, Connect 4, Yard Pong, Darts, and there are some available floatie pool toys provided on site as well.
