The management here went above and beyond for our scout troop's campout. If they did that for us on the campgrounds, I can only imagine the level of service in the resort proper. Thank you!

A nice place to relax and get off the grid. For starters, you get to see eagles and other wild life. There are bikes and kayaks to rent. The rooms Don’t have TVs but there are sets in the game room and Eagle’s Nest. The food at the restaurant is exceptional!! The stars in the sky are on full blast at night. So beautiful!

This inn was very quaint, clean and perfectly situated along the water.
We stayed in the Tiny Home and had everything we needed for our stay. The staff were very accommodating to check in with us via text which was a plus.
This location is about a 20-30 minute drive to many nearby attractions: Burnet, a few wineries, Inks Lake State Park, and Eagle Eye Observatory.
Would definitely recommend!

Canyon of the Eagle is an incredible place! We enjoyed every moment surrounded by nature, and the restaurant served fresh, delicious food that made our visit even better. We had a blast biking, hiking, and walking along the serene lakeside.
The highlight of our trip was the night sky experience. We watched a movie under the stars, enjoyed making s’mores, and my kids had a fantastic time! We also made a reservation at the Canyon of the Eagle Observatory, where we got to learn about the wonders of the universe. Seeing the night sky up close, including stars, Jupiter, and Mars, was truly magical. The clear skies and stargazing opportunities made this visit unforgettable! Highly recommend for anyone who loves nature and the night sky.

The Pros: The RV sites are well-spaced and wooded with full hookups. The restaurant was clean (except for the windows that look out over the lake,), and the food was excellent. The limited staff was friendly. The trails are beautiful and full of wildlife.
The Cons: The staff was limited (they are hiring). They have two stores, one is a gift shop in the main office and the other is down by the lake and it’s supposed to be a “bait shop”. There were no bait at either store. If you want bait, you have to go into town. You have to have a reservation for almost everything. List: The restaurant. The Eagle eye observatory. Guided hikes and informational sessions. It was truly a disappointment.

Beautiful property. Lots of fun things to do (hiking, mountain biking, kayaking, observatory, and just plain relaxing). Food was good, both dinner and breakfast. I took one star off as the bathroom fixtures, tubs, vanities are a bit dated.

I was blown away by the Valentine’s Day package. I paid $425 for dinner, drinks, activities and observatory. The dinner itself was stellar. Filet mignon, salmon, crème brulee. And the service was top notch. Love this experience.

At first, I wasn’t planning to leave a public review as I typically only leave very positive reviews, but after sending a private message and processing just how many things went wrong, (more than I am including here), I think I should share our experience. There was no hot water in the room so my daughter and I both took a cold shower, the coffee maker was broken, I was overcharged at breakfast (please update your signs so people understand what is not included in the breakfast buffet), we had an exceedingly long check in time, and the list goes on and on. At the end of it all, we felt like we just were waiting around for 20 to 30 minutes at a time (checking in, renting e-bikes, etc) waiting on people to do their jobs. This place has so much potential but we found the whole experience to be underwhelming. On a positive note, we enjoyed a nice dinner and the chef was fantastic (try the prime rib and green beans!)

Hidden gem for a great getaway in Central Texas. Recently did a camping trip there in my RV and ended up booking an extra day while there because I liked it so much. Tons of trails to explore, great views of the lake, and great food at the restaurant on site. All RV sites had plenty of trees and shade and there were private shower/bathroom facilities. Will definitely go again. All the park staff were very friendly and amazing as well. There is also cabins and tent camping areas you can stay at here if you don't have a camper to bring. One thing to mention is that the RV site I stayed at was a bit un-level so make sure to bring levelers and chocks.
I've been going here for about 20 years. It's definitely a hidden gem. Really good hiking trails. You can go out on the water. Plus lots to do in the general area. Also fun to go to the onsite observatory.

This isn't a big, luxurious resort, but rather a quiet, intimate setting for communing with nature. I came here with a friend to get away from the city lights and catch the peak of the Quadrantid meteor shower, and this was the perfect place for it. The sky was fantastically clear and dark, and in addition to a dozen or so meteors, we were able to see the Milky Way and a lone satellite. At sunrise and sunset, there were deer grazing among the cabins, and throughout the day we saw all kinds of birds, large and small. There were quite a few rabbits at night as well. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the restaurant was quite good for such a small operation. The cabins are a bit rustic, with polished concrete floors and creaky wooden doors, but the beds were plenty comfortable. In our cabin (J3), the hinges on the bathroom door were caked with rust to the extent that if you opened or closed the door after letting it sit untouched for a few hours, it squealed and shrieked like a constipated banshee. This jolted me awake when my friend got up to use the restroom in the middle of the night, and I momentarily thought that someone was torturing a deer just outside the cabin door. Although the initial fright may have shaved a few years off my life, I think the laughter that followed added those years back, and more. Our stay was worth every penny.

Great location and curvy drive to the resort. The night time astronomy show at the Eagle eye observatory is a treat for star n planet gazers and so informative for kids and adults. The night sky becomes the planetarium screen!! The resort mgmt should add some roadside blinkers to guide drivers in the night from the entrance to the registration office.

I have stayed here 5 times. If you are looking for luxury, this IS NOT the place you are looking for. If you are looking for a peaceful retreat from the outside world, you have found it. Very quiet and relaxing, rustic atmosphere.
