Location: Canyon Lake, Hill Country, Texas, USA
Accommodations: Quaint Home, 2 Bedrooms + Den, 2 Baths (Sleeps 8)
Enjoy the beautiful surroundings of Canyon Lake, a natural base for day trips, not only to San Antonio and Austin, but also those towns known for specialty shopping such as Boerne, Wimberly, Fredricksburg, Blanco, Johnson City, and don't forget the huge outlet mall located in San Marcos. The morning air is crisp and Canyon Lake is a beautiful place to spend a weekend or a week--the longer the better! Of course, there is still time to enjoy water activities since the days tend to warm into the 80's in the afternoon! The clear, clean water is so refreshing and beautiful to see and enjoy. The Lake appears tropical on a sunny day as the sunshine reflects a beautiful blue-green sheen from the Lake.
Our home is a perfect spot to enjoy the spectacular view with many great vantage points to watch the boating and Lake activity! Additionally, since the water's edge is a short walk, you can still enjoy simple fun things such as skipping rocks across the Lake and putting a fishing line in the water to see what you might catch. An early morning kayak or canoe trip across the Lake is also very soothing and relaxing. These are a few of the activities available just a short walk down to the Lake from the house. Of course, don't forget one of the most enjoyable activities while staying at our home--the beautiful deer that congregate at the front door morning, noon and evening in hopes of being fed. Some are little "bambi's" while others have beautiful "racks" on their handsome, proud heads (there were two 8-pointers at our front door recently). And, of course, there are the doe's that will eat corn from your hand. Watching the deer lounge around and interact as they feed is very pleasurable and relaxing. The patio located on the lower level is a great place to sit, watch the Lake and read a book. Later on, enjoy the hot-tub. A great vantage point to watch the beautiful sunset over Canyon Lake or later in the evening, the moon rise above you--or a star-lit night with a shooting star or two--or three!
You may also want to enjoy a campfire in the evening. There is plenty of room down by the Lake to light a fire in the fire pit and enjoy each other's company while roasting marshmallows and exchanging stories round the fire with the gentle sound of waves from the lake in the background! These are just a few of the amenities available to you during your stay.
If boating is one of the pleasures you hope to enjoy while a guest in our home, the boat launch is very convenient to the house, only one mile (walking distance!).
Numerous restaurants are within 15 minutes where "Hill Country" cuisine can be enjoyed. Additionally, many evening attractions can be found in Gruene (including Gruene Hall), many offer nightly live performances, including Jerry Jeff Walker.
The house has ceiling fans in all rooms. The bedrooms are furnished with a king bed in one & a queen bed in the second bedroom. Two comfortable futons are in the living area with additional bedding available in the form of an air mattress providing sleeping accommodations for eight. Each bedroom has a full bath. A stackable washer/dryer is on site for your convenience. Ample linens & bedding are furnished. In addition to the items noted below, the fully-equipped kitchen has everything you need to prepare your own meals if you prefer to dine at "home." The dining area comfortably seats eight or ten cozily. Any overflow can enjoy sitting at the large picnic table (also seating for eight) under the ceiling fans on the adjoining covered porch. Or if the weather is cool in the evening, you might enjoy a cozy fire in the fireplace located in the living area.
Additionally, don't forget to enjoy all of the attractions of the "Hill Country"--Natural Bridge Caverns, Wildlife Preserve, biking, hiking, or just drive through the hills and enjoy the beautiful views.
