Horseshoe Riverside Lodge  

A riverside hideaway in Canyon Lake — right on the Guadalupe River and about a 10-minute walk to Whitewater Amphitheatre. Located between Austin and San Antonio, and under 15 miles from New Braunfels and Gruene, this riverfront lodge is a Hill Country base for outdoor fun.

Wedding services and flexible group space accommodate meetings, reunions and seminars. Guest rooms have desks and complimentary wireless internet to keep business moving.

No full-service on-site restaurant is listed, but the grounds feature picnic spots and barbecue grills for DIY meals. Rooms include coffee/tea makers and mini-fridges for quick breakfasts and snacks.
