Annual family vacation.

We had our annual family vacation at this property on Canyon Lake. The house was great and was perfect for our family of 10. The view of the lake is amazing and is what sold us on this location. The walk to and from the lake takes a little bit of work but it can be done. We had a great time and will definitely be back.

This vacation rental was fabulous! Views were incredible. Beds were comfortable and cozy. Walk down to the lake was not easy but definitely not challenging; walk back up to the house was a bit of a work out, but not outside of normal. Kids had a good time. Would definitely stay at this house again!

The House with Amazing Views

This property was stunning. You walk in the front door and you’re hit with amazing views of the lake everywhere you look. I rented this property with a group of friends for Memorial Day weekend and we really enjoyed our time. Plenty of space, the kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook and thankfully the AC was able to keep up with the weekend’s crazy heat. Thanks for a fantastic weekend!

Comfort over Canyon Lake

Check-in simple. Hosts were friendly and accommodating. The house is perched on a bluff over beautifully blue Canyon Lake. It is comfortable and well-maintained. Beds are very comfortable. A/C worked well. Perfect location to relax and watch the lake during the day and the stars at night, or get out and explore the lake or Guadalupe River. We had an amazing stay!

A Little Piece of Paradise!

We had a family get together with about 14 people and had plenty of space and a great time! The views are unforgettable and the house is clean, up to date, and had everything we need. Tiffany was accommodating with every/any special request that I had. We are already talking about renting again later in the year! We swam in the lake, BBQ'd and enjoyed the fire pit on the lower deck each night. Great times!

Amazing View! Gorgeous House!

Perfect weekend at the lake. The house surpassed all our expectations from the moment we walked in the front door. The views from all 3 balconies are breathtaking. Easy access for putting the boat in the water - boat ramp 5 minutes from the house. We enjoyed wakesurfing and tubing in the quiet cove in front of the house. The stairs - one trip down and one trip up - was enough for the entire weekend. :) Tiffany, the owner, was so easy to work with and provided all the necessary information promptly regarding the house, even answering questions while out of the country. We are already planning a return trip for next year!

Highly Recommend this beatiful home!

This Canyon Lake home is incredible. The moment you walk in you’re drawn to the lake view outside. The first thing you notice when you walk out on to the back deck is how extremely quiet it is. The indoor and outdoor areas are very spacious with plenty of room for large groups or to spread out for quiet time. You can find sun or shade any time of day with the multiple deck areas. The bath between the two downstairs bedrooms worked out great. There is a tub/shower room between two half baths, each with spacious sink/counter space with lots of drawers. All bedrooms are spacious and comfortable with beautiful views of the lake. The bunk room is also very comfortable, even for adults. Loved the deer that visited daily. I would highly recommend this home.

Gorgeous view

This house had the BEST VIEW ON THE LAKE! The other great thing about the house was the boat ramp close by! The thing that you are not told is that there are 178 steps down to the water so steep that you MUST BE VERY CAREFUL! In fact - it was so bad even the young children only wanted to go once! Certainly if you left anything behind- YOU WERE GOING TO DO WITHOUT! The water is just BEAUTIFUL - you felt like you were in the Virgin Islands however not easy to use with no boat area close and the steepness of the lake!

Exceeded our expectations!!!

Our family had an amazing spring break in Canyon Lake and made memories that will last a lifetime! This lake house was far better than we had even expected. The owner was very easy to work with, and quickly responded to any questions we had. The house was clean, fully stocked with everything we needed, and wanted. The beds were comfortable, and the view cannot be described in pictures. The back patio was our favorite part of the house. The kids really enjoyed the bunk room and played plenty of foosball games. My youngest really enjoyed the toys as well. We had a fun night making S'mores on the fire pit, and made lots of trips up and down the stairs to the lake. There isn't anything bad I can say about this lake house. We can't wait to return!

Labor Day vacation!

We enjoyed every minute of our time at the lake house! The views are stunning from every level of the house. Our group consisted of grandparents, adults and children as young as 5 months. Every detail has been thought of. As the parent of a toddler I very much appreciated the baby gates that were on hand at the house. They also included a pack n play and high chair. We had plenty of room for everyone. We loved the beach access. The most challenging part was the stairs down/ up while juggling children but it’s definitely achievable. Even the grandparents joined us on the journey. We ran into a few minor issues with the house but Michele and Danny were very helpful even though it was a holiday. A handyman was sent over immediately to remedy the issue. We will definitely be returning next year! Thank you guys for sharing your home with our family!!

Fantastic Vacation House for Multiple Families

We took two families to stay at Canyon Lake for a long weekend, and this house was a wonderful fit for us. Extra perks were the pack & play in the closet and the toys downstairs for the little ones. Plenty of seating and eating/gathering spaces for us. We loved the kids' bunk room and the master. The most awesome thing about this house are the VIEWS! There are balconies off every bedroom and on every one of the three levels, and the lake views are incredible. What a relaxing sight to wake up to, to watch from a lounge chair with a Diet Coke, and to enjoy over s'mores made at the gas fire ring on the deck. It was also fun to watch members of our group down on the lake boating, tubing, wakeboarding, and wave from the balconies. The walk down to and up from the lake is extremely steep and strenuous, so we mostly ran a shuttle down the road the half mile to the boat ramp to drop off and pick up people. It wasn't too bad. One of the queen beds was also VERY loud and creaky, it kept those sleepers up every night. And some of our kids woke up with ant bites on their legs, backs, and necks - it seemed like they got them while sleeping, but maybe not. This lake is beautiful and fun to boat on and swim in; we would recommend this house and return to it ourselves.

Best view on the lake.

Great house with amazing views from every room!! The kitchen is beautiful and well equipped with everything you’d need; even a lovely patio table right off the kitchen to have your morning coffee looking out at the calm quiet lake (my fav). Bedrooms are lovely and comfortable. The bunk room is very cool for the kids. Thoroughly enjoyed Corn hole and the fire pit on the big lower deck. There is a steep path of stone stairs down to a little beach, where we spent hours just floating around. Going down is not too bad but coming back up is quite a climb. We loved our stay here and will be back soon.

Birthday Celebration Family Trip

This property is beautiful. As soon as you walk into the home you are hit with the amazing lake views. There was 14 of us and we had plenty of space to move around and do fun activities. The trail to the lake was a little intense especially when coming back up but its doable. Water shoes or comfortable shoes (no flip flops) are a must if going down to the lake because the path is a little rough. . We will book this property again in a heart beat. Communicating with host was super easy and a fast response was provided every single time. Hope to come back soon!

Better Than Expected

This home is absolutely amazing. It has arguably the best view of any lake I’ve been on in Texas. Reservation, check in, check out couldn’t have been better. Everything about this home is first class. Having water access is such a positive. We will be back!!

Incredible home with incredible views!!!!

This house was magnificent!! The views from every room were spectacular! No one wanted to leave at the end. We had 6 adults ages 42-54 and our adult kids ages 19-27. None of our adult kids wanted to double up so one of them slept on the sofa on the main floor. There were extra sheets available in the laundry room for that. The balconies were perfect and clean for sitting out and enjoying the beautiful sunsets. Not everyone keeps a clean outdoor space, they usually focus on the inside. So that was awesome! The bottom deck is huge for things like playing cornhole but we never got around to it. The lake kept calling to us so we stayed there all day. The walk down definitely requires shoes and not flip flops. None of the other homes that we were looking at had access to the lake so this was wonderful. The kitchen had plenty of room and was stocked with all the things you use daily when at home. Our hosts really thought of everything to make our stay enjoyable. Each of us had friends asking for the listing after seeing our pictures from our trip. 5 STARS all the way!!

Magical Wedding Weekend

Our stay on Larson Road was nothing short of perfect. We booked the house for the groom's wedding party and it was exactly what they/we needed. They enjoyed the deck, space and the lake access. My husband and I enjoyed cooking for the group and sleeping on a totally different level than the guys. The owners were quick to respond when questions arose. The rehearsal dinner in Wimberley and the wedding at The Preserve went off without a hitch to make for a perfect weekend stay. We do hope to stay again in the future and enjoy the breathtaking lake views morning thru night. We also got to celebrate our 30th Anniversary during our stay. You will wake to the singing of birds each morning. Definitely a perfect place to stay at Canyon Lake. You will have everything you will need for a great vacation stay. Thanks again for making our special weekend spectacular!

Pictures don’t do it justice!

The views are amazing!! The house impeccable, possibly the cleanest rental I’ve ever been in (and I consider myself a clean freak). The steps that go down to the lake can be a lot to handle. I would say if you’re out of shape, you’ll have to take a few breaks coming up those stairs, but they’re worth every sweat drop and sore muscle because the views are just wonderful! The house has everything you’ll need, even books and board games. Fully stocked kitchen and plenty of toilet paper. Depending on the size of your group you might need extra trash bags and paper towels, but other than that the house has everything! We brought our boat and jet ski and had so much fun on the water. As a suggestion from the property owners we rented a temporary spot at a storage place nearby for the boat and ski, we didn’t have any problems. Thank you for sharing your home! We’ll definitely be coming back!
