Even skeptics won’t be able to resist feeling revived beneath the Texas sun with lake breezes brushing past your face…and holding meetings, of course.

No matter how ergonomic your office chair is, by Friday you can feel that tingling pain start to creep into your lower back. And now you have to go and sit all weekend at a business seminar.

Canyon of the Eagles Lodge and Nature Park takes the mental motivation from a weekend workshop and reinforces it with a great locale by the shores of Lake Buchanan and plenty of outdoor adventure. Acres of undisturbed Texas Hill Country beauty surround you and your team throughout your stay. Sleep in your rustic-chic lodge room listening to the lullaby of nearby streams. Take your group work outside beneath the shade of cedar and oak trees. Or, use the spacious Republic Room, Live Oak Room or Eagles Nest for more formal events. When you feel the itch to get up and stretch, 14 miles of nature trails, a private beach, fishing pier or a Vanishing Texas River Cruise are the breath of fresh air you need. Or, challenge co-workers to canoe and kayak races, a GPS scavenger hunt, golfing at Delaware Springs or rock climbing!

Every day your neglected long iron looks forlornly at you from its corner and you have even started replacing phrases like “core team” with “fore team.” Don’t just miserably dream of emerald fairways. Do yourself, your long iron and your office a favor and head to our No. 10 resort.

Horseshoe Bay Resort was named the Best Golf Resort of 2009 by Texas Meetings and Events magazine and boasts 7,000 acres of lush grounds. We promise to return to the award-winning greens, but before donning your golf gear, slip into a swimming suit. Cool off in the lagoon-style Yacht Club pool or on Turtle Beach by Lake LBJ. And though the 27-person volcanic-like whirlpool is tempting, you best save that for a golf aperitif. Organize a corporate golf tournament on one of three courses. Ram Rock, Slick Rock and Apple Rock are all Robert Trent Jones Sr.-designed courses that provide captivating challenges and authentic Texas splendor. When it’s time to get down to business, Horseshoe Bay’s Business Center provides all the office conveniences 24 hours a day, seven days a week. And if you just can’t bear to let the golf go, experienced event planners can coordinate a themed event.

Highlights

Horseshoe Bay Resort offers a variety of rooms to suit your level of luxury. Gaze out the Marriott Hotel room’s floor-to-ceiling windows for views of Texas Hill Country. Lounge in your garden tub in a three-bedroom Paseo Villa. Or, indulge in The Waters lakefront condo with gourmet kitchen and furnished balcony.

The great thing about Texas is that its large cities, like Houston, blend quickly into pure relaxation and inspiration. Case in point: South Shore Harbour Resort and Conference Center. It’s got the nautical feel of being on the ocean, with all the conveniences and recreation of being on land.

Clear Lake is large enough to harbor the third-largest concentration of pleasure boats in the U.S., which is just the beginning of the appeal at South Shore Harbour Resort. Two championship golf courses are nearby; the NASA/Johnson Space Center is directly across the lake, and a rainforest and aquarium are on display at Moody Gardens, which happens to be next door to the famous Schlitterbahn waterpark. Naturally, the resort can happily arrange dinner cruises and fishing excursions. All of this combines with 25,000 sq. ft. of meeting and event space, supported by an onsite audio/visual company. A total of 25 meeting rooms surround the Paradise Reef and Harbour Club restaurants, with easy access to the marina, beach cabanas and boat cruises. This is Texas inspiration with plenty of style!

If you’ve done this sort of thing before you may have considered a ranch as the basis for a conference retreat. What you haven’t considered, though, is a Texas conference at a ranch this authentic. Cibolo Creek Ranch remains a working longhorn business, as it has been for well over a century.

You’ll feel every moment of it just by stepping onto the property. Cibolo Creek Ranch is comprised of three forts built by Milton Favor, one of the pioneers, in the 1800s. Back then a ranch in Texas’ Big Bend region pretty much required a fort or two, being that it was on the shifting front lines of the Civil War and constantly in danger of Comanche or Apache attacks. That remoteness is part of the atmosphere now, along with the faithful restoration of the original buildings and a tinge of Mexican culture. El Cibolo, the largest of the three forts with 21 guest rooms, has a swimming pool and hot tub, a spa and a recreation facility along with conference and multimedia rooms. Or, you can choose La Cienega – with ten fort rooms, ten hacienda rooms, its own swimming pool and full kitchen plus a multimedia/recreation area. It’s a different kind of luxury at a very different Texas conference resort!

Highlights

The health spa at Cibolo Creek Ranch combines a fully modern exercise facility and massage services with a sauna, an indoor and outdoor hot tub, a lakeside swimming pool and more.

Fun facts

Cibolo Creek Ranch has received three separate listings on the National Register of Historic Places, as well as numerous national and Texas state architectural awards for its restoration.

Your stay at Cibolo Creek Ranch includes three gourmet meals per day, prepared by experienced chefs using fresh, original local ingredients.
