“Love this place! I was there for a family reunion and I highly recommend it for large gatherings. The cabins were emaculently clean and well equipped with supplies. They have several different sizes to accommodate any size family. The building where we gathered to eat and visit was also very accommodating. The lake access has a fishing pier and the water is clear. They also have watercraft rentals of all types. The kids had no problem finding something to do with a game room and swimming pool as well as plenty of play area. The entire family enjoyed every minute. I've barely scratched the surface of everything great about this place. The owners are wonderful host and we will be back.”

“My husband found & chose this place cuz it's close to Spider mountain. While he was riding his bike at Burnet, TX we stayed here for the weekend to have fun. Our family getaway (hubby's birthday treat) was a blast! All 16 of us had a really good time even the toddlers. We enjoyed the sun, sand, lake, kayak & canoe ride. This place is peaceful & relaxing. Gwen was very nice, sweet, kind, polite, friendly, very accommodating & gracious to us. We will surely come back to this place & will recommend to my family & friends. ”

“The owners and grounds manager were awesome. This is definitely a relaxing place. They were friendly from the start and added small but meaningful touches for my family reunion. They knew I had worked hard and made it memorable. This is a relaxing place definitely not a place for loud crowds. Unfortunately the people with me didn't appreciate this place enough to respect that. My immediate family and I will visit again. The game room and pool were also nice. The cabins were spacious, clean, and comfortable. Good price for a relaxing time.”

“Absolutely amazing. The owners were on point of making sure my family and I were taken care of and enjoying our stay. The cabins are very cozy, homey feeling, and spacious. We were mere feet from the water and the game room. Also, considering we went on mothers day weekend, the facility was very quiet. We weren't alone but never bothered by any one. And of course, the boat ride was just a cherry on top! Bring towels and bathroom essentials. Luckily, I read that right before leaving our house! I was able to grab everything last minute. We are already planning on coming back again! Love, love love everything about it. Don't worry about trying to entertain children.. my 4 year old never missed a beat of having fun! She had a blast with the game room activities, the beach, boat ride, and playing out doors in the field outside of the game room; corn holes was her fave! Thanks Bryan and Gwen for making this a magical weekend getaway!”

“We have been looking for a place to call our temporary home while searching for a home to buy in the area when we discovered this beautiful, cozy but with more than enough space, quiet and very accommodating "little piece of Heaven" tucked away in the Hill Country! I've been here ten years and didn't know it existed....the property manager and owner have been so helpful, responsive and friendly we have nothing else to say except "we highly recommend" Cedar Lodge while although we may be staying during the off season, they still offer almost every accommodation available and that is hard to find!! Thank you Cedar Lodge Texas!!!”
