Skip the 4+ hour Frio drive through Hondo and Uvalde and pick up nearly 3 hours of round-trip windshield time. Grocery stops at H-E-B in Katy, Columbus, or Seguin (15 min from the property) keep everything cold. West Houston / Katy — 2h 30min Energy Corridor — 2h 40min Sugar Land — 2h 45min Cypress — 2h 45min The Woodlands — 3h ## Base Camp for the Best of San Antonio & the Hill Country You're 20 minutes from downtown San Antonio, 25 minutes from New Braunfels & Gruene, and just 15 minutes from our sister property Son's Island. Stay on the creek, adventure out, come home to a fire pit — no downtown SA hotel prices, no fighting for River Walk parking. ### 20 Minutes to San Antonio Big-city Texas without the hotel bill — day-trip in and be back at the creek by dinner. #### The Alamo Iconic Texas history right on Alamo Plaza. Free to enter — an easy morning stop before lunch on the River Walk. #### San Antonio River Walk Riverside dining, boat rides, and the country's best holiday-lights display in December. Park once, walk all day. #### SeaWorld San Antonio Coasters, animal encounters, and Aquatica water park all on one ticket — the biggest theme-park day near the property. #### Six Flags Fiesta Texas Built into a limestone quarry — Iron Rattler, Wonder Woman, and White Water Bay for hot afternoons. #### Spurs Game or Concert Frost Bank Center and Tech Port Arena are a quick 25 minutes away. Catch tip-off, then roll back to a hot tub instead of an interstate hotel. #### San Antonio Missions UNESCO World Heritage site — four Spanish missions along the Mission Reach, free to visit and one of the most underrated stops in Texas. ### 25 Minutes to New Braunfels & Gruene · 15 Minutes to Son's Island Rivers, dance halls, and a private-island cabana day — all within a short drive of your cabin. #### Schlitterbahn Waterpark Consistently ranked the #1 waterpark in the world — real Comal River water and 51 attractions in New Braunfels. #### Tube the Comal or Guadalupe The classic Texas summer float. Rockin' R, Texas Tubes, and River Road outfitters are all 30 minutes away. #### Gruene Historic District Two-step at Gruene Hall (Texas's oldest dance hall), dinner at the Gristmill, and antique shops along the Guadalupe. #### Son's Island (15 min) Our sister property on Lake Placid — private-island cabanas, hammocks over the water, and a totally different vibe from the creek. Perfect add-on day. #### Natural Bridge Caverns Texas's largest commercial caverns, 30 minutes north — 70°F underground is the summer heat cheat code. #### The Pearl District Restored brewery turned foodie destination — Saturday farmers market, Hotel Emma, and some of the best restaurants in Texas. Everything above is a short drive — then you're back on the creek with hot tubs, fire pits, and a game room waiting.
