CACTUS MOON LODGE:
This is the main lodge, A.K.A. hub of magic! It consists of a grand room with an open concept kitchen, dining room and a cozy living room with large stone fireplace. It overlooks the pool and has canyon views that go on for miles! It also is connected to the star gazing decks and covered porch areas. No bedrooms here, just a space to gather together and enjoy each other's company. All bedrooms are in separate cabins so those that want to stay up late can and those that do not can turn in.
QUEEN OF THE NIGHT:
Named after a very special kind of Orchid Cactus. You have to stay up late to enjoy the opening of this extraordinary cactus, which is shaped like a majestic waterlily. If you are an early riser and usually early to bed - this plant is not for you! The queen of the night cactus flowers between dusk and dawn - for us she is the highlight of the party season.
This is the master suite of dreams! It has a plush king sized bed and 20 foot vaulted ceilings, 15 foot velvet curtains, a dressing room with antique wall mirrors, a view of the canyon, pool and the Texas hill country hills. It has a double sink vanity, a getting ready area along with two bathrooms. One with a shower and one with a clawfoot tub. IT IS PURE BLISS.
GOLDEN BARREL & PRICKLY PEAR
A.K.A. the twinsies. This cabin consists of two rooms that can be joined or separated from one another. Each has a queen sized bed, private sink and private dressing area with a shared toilet and shower room. These two are situated off of the courtyard and have cozy high thread count sheets, a fluffy duvet and cloud like pillows. DREAMY X 2.
BUNNY EARS
Yes there is a cactus named that! And if you did not know, its fuzzy, cute and quite the charmer. It consists of two twin beds and a full bathroom with floor to ceiling window that over looks a wet weather creek bed and often has deer roaming close by. This one is furthest away from the others but it still gets hopped up WIFI.
MOTHER OF HUNDREDS:
Named after a cactus called Mother of Hundreds because it can form hundreds of large clumps up to 3 feet wide. It can also produces reddish-pink flowers in winter.
This is the largest room at 1500 sq ft. and has a small living room area with a 65" tv (amazon and netflix) and can comfortably sleep 4 with two full size beds. There is also a full size bathroom. An all white room with exposed white trusses, wall to wall steel and glass doors with vaulted ceilings and round moon window. All of this overlooks a grove of oak trees and opens up to a courtyard surrounded by wild grasses and cactus. This space also has access to a side private deck area.
LET THIS MAMA NURTURE YA!
SILVER ARROW:

Beautiful, relaxing, fun, spacious…. An experience that will last forever…. So many awesome memories. I would like to make a suggestion… handrails on the steps under the arch would help & make them safer. We also needed more kitchen towels. We were only given 2 for 4 days. The gas was not connected to stove when we were ready to cook. That needs to be checked before each different customer gets there. Those are only minor but could improve the stay:
Friends and family travelled from all over the States and from the UK to stay at Cactus Moon Lodge. It was perfect, couldn't have asked for a more beautiful place to stay for a week.
This is a fantastic property and 100% excellent across the board. Highly recommend.
Insanely beautiful and welcoming property not far from the city. Everything you need on site including a beautiful pool, plenty of space, wifi, towels, etc. Pictures do not do justice!
One of the best places I have EVER stayed!! Coordinating a trip for 7 women held high expectations and every one of us was blown away by the property. The decor, the layout, the view, the rooms, the peace and quiet. We all immediately loved it from the drive up to the entire stay and cannot wait to book our next summer teachers trip here. Liz is amazing and you will not be disappointed!!!
We had the most amazing time!! The property is even better in person. Liz was incredibly kind, easy to talk to, and super responsive. She gave us suggestions on things to do while we were there and helped with accommodating the chef. We will be back for sure!
I had my wedding ceremony and reception at Cactus Moon. It was so beautiful!!! The venue offered us the flexibility to have our little ceremony of 34 people at the venue. Liz was an amazing host, she was so helpful and easy going and so was her staff. I can’t wait to come stay here again in the future. I only have good things to say about our experience at Cactus Moon!!!!
Look no further for a place to stay. We hosted a family retreat here and we were in awe at the views, the vibe and the details. Everything about this place makes sense and flows naturally. From doing Yoga on the deck to star gazing at night. The space is design for socializing and sharing, plus offers so many different nooks for exploration and photo ops. We will for SURE stay here again. Plus, Liz was so accommodating and responsive. Este lugar nos ha cambiado la vida de una forma muy profunda. We are actually looking forward to inject elements from it to our day to day life and design with it as an inspiration. THANK YOU, Cactus Moon Team.
This is that rare rental property that actually exceeds the description, the photos, and the reviews! If I could give it a grade, it would be an A+. The property is fabulous, so much fun to explore, and so many great rooms to stay in, along with an awesome central space with kitchen/den. Everything was totally spotless - felt brand new. And it cannot be overstated how gorgeous the view is. The property manager is so helpful and kind and communicative - responds right away to any questions. We can't wait to return and are so happy we got to experience Cactus Moon!
This property is pretty amazing with a spectacular view and the owner Liz is super helpful when needed! Our family had an awesome little weekend. We will definitely be coming back!
