Our main house, 'La Casa de Joy,' is a stunning luxury straw bale villa (once featured on HGTV) that is truly the perfect gathering space for a variety of special occasions and memorable events. Originally built by an artist & healer, her creative intention and style is felt throughout the entire property.
Living Waters is blessed with an abundance of nature, including deer, birds, butterflies, crickets, hummingbirds, & more. You may wake up to the deer sleeping just outside your accommodation.
Indulge you and your group by taking advantage of our on-site private yoga, massage, personal training, and facial services, and kayak, canoe, and stand-up paddle board rentals.

This unique property is a tranquil and rejuvenating respite in the hill country on Lake Travis, therefore it's not ideal for loud parties. We love animals, but we are a non-pet-accommodating property due to the abundant wildlife present. We look forward to making memories with you....

Great stay! The space heater worked well for the cooler nights. Only gripe was the hot water in the showers ran out pretty quickly and then the water was icy cold.

Group trip
My family and I LOVED staying here with our pups! It was the perfect way to get some non-campers into relaxing in the outdoors! The beds were comfortable, the interiors were simple but absolutely stunning, and our surroundings were so peaceful. I found myself wanting to wake up before sunrise every day :) My dogs have been all over the country with me, but this is definitely one of my favorite stays with them. Getting an additional golf cart was also a very convenient addition to easily get around property!
ALSO It turns out Outdoorsy has two more locations in Colorado and outside of Yosemite--so I may look into trips there as well!

We enjoyed our tent glamping experience at 12 Fires Winery very much! The atmosphere was romantic, positive vibes. The tend had everything we needed, including a space heater and extra blankets which was appreciated on a cold night. The host was responsive, gracious, and accommodating. Thanks 12 Fires!

Oh my gosh, I’m coming back for sure. This place was amazing and Leslie was so helpful in helping us with a forgotten charger. This is a beautiful spot and it would be great for multiple families renting the whole place out. Everything was wonderful and we will definitely be back.

The best safari tents near Canyon Lake guide
Where to go
New Braunfels
Like nearby Fredericksburg, small towns like New Braunfels and Gruene (pronounced “Green”) embrace their German heritage through cuisine and holiday traditions. Gruene is home to one of Texas’s oldest dance halls, still hosting live music and dancing, while New Braunfels offers another beautiful spring-fed river, the Comal River, which delights throngs of tubers on summer weekends.
Wimberley
Wimberley mixes creativity and nature, serving as the homebase of many singer-songwriters. You can snag some great locally made finds during Wimberley Market Days on the first Saturday of each month between March through December, but even better, you’ll find some of the most Instagrammed Texas swimming holes near Wimberley: Jacob’s Well and Blue Hole, both refreshing swimming spots with green-blue water beckoning visitors to go for a dip.
When to go
To get the most out of your outdoor itinerary in Canyon Lake, we recommend visiting from March through November. Summer temperatures can be quite high in Hill Country, but it’s the best time for tubing down the Guadalupe River. Spring and fall are ideal for camping and hiking, while winter months can also be quite mild as well, aside from the errant cold snap. During the holidays, it’s fun to explore the multicultural traditions of San Antonio and the small Hill Country towns.
