plentiful
and wishes really do come true!

Have a picnic, sit in the swing, enjoy the shade and
the views of the lake and water activities.

We needed a Break...
Imagined it, found it, bought it, renovated it and now we want to share it with you. Cedar Lodge Waterfront resort is a family operation with new owner, Tammy McPeters and Operations Managers Bob and Vivian McPeters and has been newly renovated! Come out and visit us and take a vacation away from the smog, the traffic, the fast-paced job and stress of the city. Cedar Lodge Waterfront Resort customized gift certificates are also available for that special get-away. We are conveniently located only 60 minutes northwest of Austin, 95 minutes north of San Antonio, and approximately 3.5 hours from Houston and Dallas.

The Rock Garden provides great
photo opportunities
and is a popular playground for the kids.
Accommodations...
Imagine...Beautiful Lake Buchanan.....your own cedar log cabin or shaded RV site nestled away in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, surrounded by woods, rock gardens and picturesque scenery you can only experience.... not describe. Where Shooting Stars are as plentiful as the fish that await you in water so clear that you can name 'em before you catch 'em. A place where time stays on snooze because it knows no deadlines or schedules. Where a friendly face and smile are sincere and expect nothing in return.

Guests love the shady areas around the cabins
and the breezes from the lake.
