Sunrise at Driftwood Shores Resort on
beautiful Lake Buchanan is a sight to behold! 

Pack your clothes and leave your cares behind!  If you miss the spectacular sunrise, the sunsets are just as pretty.  The moon glistening on the water and the beautiful star filled nights also add their special charm to Driftwood Shores Resort in Tow, Texas.

Driftwood Shores Resort is conveniently located on the west shore of Lake Buchanan 80 minutes northwest of Austin and 95 minutes north of San Antonio.  Lake Buchanan is the first lake in the Highland Lakes chain of lakes in the central Texas Hill Country.

Relax in the shade or play on the sunny beaches.
This is the view from cottage No. 6.

With 900 feet of waterfront you will be able to pick your own favorite spot to play in the water or stretch out under the sun.  Enjoy a romantic fire or bring the kids along for a good old fashioned marshmallow roast at our firepit on the beach.
