Property Description

This Hill Country getaway near Sabinal is truly special! Every stick of lumber in the Lantana Lodge is a labor of love, from the furniture to the guest home itself, crafted by hand by its owner. Located in the beautiful Hill Country River Region, the Lodge sleeps up to a dozen, and stands as a warm tribute to the couple who lived here and loved the land. That love is reflected in every room of Lantana Lodge, and in its pond and waterfall features, too. It's a personal experience to stay here!

When he got a sawmill, the owner sought hundreds of trees that would become Lantana Lodge, and his expert craftsmanship let him barter for most of the expense it took to build. The furniture, bed frames, deck, pond dock, and covered bridge are his creations, an extension of his family history offered to yours to enjoy. In that spirit, kids and pets are welcome!

The pond is perfect for catch-and-release fishing, and there are two kayaks provided. A fire pit sets on the pond's banks, with firewood included. Two shaded patios run the Lodge's length, and feature plenty of furniture. A picturesque stone walkway leads to a waterfall that fills a pool that's great for young children. There's a charcoal pit on the deck (for cooking; not a fire pit), and you'll also find horseshoes, corn hole, over-sized Jenga, washer boards and tail gate golf, vivid Hill Country sunsets, wild birds and much more! With safety in mind, a signed release is required to stay here.

Guests will love the radiant woodwork inside the Lodge! Fun, colorful touches like antler chandeliers, a mounted quilt, and a totem pole enhance the space. Comfort's assured with central air, ceiling fans, and an indoor wood-burning fireplace. The living area has three couches and a Roku-ready TV, along with Wifi. The kitchen includes appliances and cooking and serving ware, and the dining area has a 12-person table and eight bar stools! The utility room has a washer and dryer, industrial sink, deep freeze, commercial ice maker, and handy half-bath.

Three bedrooms, each with a queen-sized bed and full bath, are named after concepts dear to the owners' hearts: The Whitetail Room, for the deer nearby; the Cowboy Room, for their love of John Wayne; and the Indian Room, since their parents were teachers on a Navajo reservation. The bedrooms have private entrances that lead to the patio. With additional trundle beds and queen-sized chair/beds, there's sleeping space for up to 12, and all beds and baths include fresh linens.

Backroads Reservations would love to introduce your family to the loving family haven of Lantana Lodge! Come create your own fond family memories to add to the legacy here!

Boerne’s Hill Country Mile

In the hustle of modern American life, it’s easy to lose sight of an important cultural fact: it’s difficult to get everything done on your daily to-do list without a car. Too many towns have been designed with outwardly-expanding sectors of commerce that put one business or attraction miles away from another. The larger the size of the town, the more true this adage seems to be.

This place exceeded my expectations.. it is a beautiful place and a private getaway. Our plan was to spend the days at the river and we only went once, we just spent the days in this beautiful place. Definitely a do-over very soon.
Manuel
Best place to spend time with family & lots of activities to do. We booked only for 2 nights but wish we could book for more time to enjoy the whole amenities this place offers. The home was very clean, spacious & very cozy. We played games & in the night enjoyed the scenery along with some s’mores.. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home. It was the best experience we have had. We wished to have book more days as this place offers a lot of amenities to do. Home was very clean and cozy. My family enjoyed this vacation. Also the beds & sofas were very comfortable enjoying our family chats. The coffee Keurig was awesome as we drink a lot of coffee. Also we reviewed the photo album & history of the home and you have a very beautiful & strong family legacy in building that home. Thank you

Special location with a lot of love put into it. We very much enjoyed our time there and the eclipse (despite the clouds)! We hope to return.
Mike
This a unique and beautiful place, and the owners obviously poured their hearts and imagination into it. It is a fantastic place for a family gathering, but outside visitors are not allowed without making prior arrangements. be sure to negotiate the terms in advance if you want take full advantage of this wonderful space.
Braden
A wonderful place to make memories with family or friends! The Lantana Lodge has everything you need to create a vacation worth remembering. Beautiful lodge and artistry throughout the property. Definitely recommend!
R. W. Curington
This Lantana Lodge is a special little nook inset in a wonderful Texas landscape. It is a hunting-style lodge that exudes years of craftsmanship, dedication, and love for the Texas Hill Country. While the lodge does satisfy that hunting-lodge feel, it also retains a romantic feel that will make you never want to leave. If you are looking to submerge yourself into and cultivate the proper Hill Country experience, this is your spot. The property boasts a scenic landscape and includes an indoor wood-burning fireplace, large fishing pond, outdoor games, hot tub, a complete wrap around porch with a grill and tables, and plenty of acreage to feel relaxed and decompress. It is guaranteed that you will have a hard time deciding if you want to stay inside and soak up the ambiance, or go outside and watch the sunset and stars take rise. One thing is for sure: you’ll have a hard time leaving.
