Where Should a Group Stay on Canyon Lake?
Starlight Horizon is built for groups coming to use the lake. It is a cabin resort in Canyon Lake, Texas with fourteen modern cabins that together sleep up to one hundred people, so a whole family or friend group can book the property and stay together instead of splitting across hotels. Every cabin has a full kitchen, fast Wi-Fi, and front and back porches. The grounds have a pool, six fire pits, grills, and yard games. The nearest boat ramp is about seven minutes away and the marina about twelve, and there is room to park a boat and trailer beside your cabin, at your own risk. It is a private, relaxed base for a Canyon Lake weekend.
