At THE RISING SUN

Both the Celestial Village with Tiny Homes and RV Pads as well as the campground with primitive camping are now open!  Come out and relax along the shores of Medina Lake, enjoy local cafes and live music and get to know the hill country!

THINGS TO DO

An unassuming lake just 30 min West of San Antonio, Medina lake has an abundance of things to do, all accessible from the Rising Sun.  Coupled with outdoor activities like Kayaking, Fishing and Boating there is plenty to explore. 

Check out the nearby towns of Lakehills (2 mi), Pipe Creek (10 min), Helotes (15 mi) or Bandera (20 mi), and take a drive along the windy roads of the hill country to take in rolling hills filled with Oak and Cedar.   If you like to hike or mountain bike, take off or launch from our lower lot or if fishing is your thing, stay with us and launch your boat at the nearby Bandera County park.  (Check times for park hours)

Kayaking
KAYAKING

When the water's down, walk or drive down to the bank and launch your kayak and play in the crystal blue water.

Fishing
FISHING

Fish from the banks. Medina lake is regularly stocked with largemouth and striped bass for recreational fishing. Local regulations apply.

Absolutely amazing spot! We rented all three tiny houses and had an awesome time. The host was highly communicative, the houses clean and equipped with everything you need for a stay, and the bedding amazingly comfortable. Each house has its own hot tub and a plunge pool we shared. Six adults on this trip and the location was the perfect private but shared experience. We ate dinner at a local bbq and music spot and had a great breakfast (and even better latte!) at Out of the Way Cafe. Even took a little hike down the canyon around Medina Lake. The Rising Sun is definitely good for a weekend away. We’ll be back. Highly recommend!

This new hideaway is the perfect retreat for a small group of friends, a couple or solo escape. The tiny homes are very comfortable, well-equipped, and offer great views and privacy. The dip pool is refreshing and the hot tubs are a great bonus for stargazing at night! Can't wait to go back again!

Had a relaxing stay. There is a plunge pool, and all the tiny homes have a private jacuzzi. The tiny home is modern and clean, and it had everything I needed for my stay. Love the loft bed with a view. I was there to work remotely and relax. Fantastic view while working, and I was up in time to enjoy the sunrise! Definitely going back!

Stayed on the end tiny home. We spent most of the time relaxing on the screened in porch or in the private hot tub. Sure the lake is low but you have a great view of the Medina Lake Canyon. This outside deck is an incredible place to sit out and see the stars. Overall, this a simple place to relax and unplug. We really enjoyed the our weekend. Definitely coming back to walk the lake bottom.

I stayed in the middle tiny home called Moonbeam. It was adorable, super clean, had all the necessities and a perfect screened in porch. Although the water is low, the view of the lake is really lovely. Sunset was gorgeous and the drive out there was so nice, views were so pretty. We got to enjoy the hot tub but it was a little drizzly so I didn't get to get in the pool. I will definitely be back! Host was super responsive, helpful and answered any questions we had.
