WHAT A VIEW! Welcome to our lakefront home in the Texas Hill Country. Perfect for families to make lasting memories, you'll be in awe of the views from every room of this home. Come stay & play now that Canyon Lake at full-capacity again!
You'll enter to an open floor plan with a beautiful kitchen, living and dining space, full width balcony including outdoor dining and bbq grill, and primary suite with a comfortable king bed and full bathroom.
Down one level, you'll find a sitting area, jack & jill bathroom between 2 bedrooms (one with a king bed and one with a queen bed) and each with their own private balconies, and a laundry room.
The bottom level is a huge bunk room with 2 built-in twin over double bunks and a living area with a pullout queen sofa bed. This level opens up to an expansive wood deck with propane fire pit and plenty of room to play corn hole, or just spend time enjoying the sunshine and lake views.

We occasionally accept requests for guests to bring a pet. Please reach out before booking for approval.

Booking with us means you'll have direct access to Canyon Lake, an incredibly beautiful 8200 acre lake with turquoise-blue clear water that is perfect for water sports, fishing, kayaking, scuba, paddleboarding and swimming. You'll be an hour from both San Antonio and Austin, and there are wineries, distilleries, and natural caverns in the area to tour as well. We'd love to share this beautiful home with you!

Please note: Canyon Lake shoreline access is via 170 stone steps from the back deck. Expect a bit of a workout with a 3-5 minute trek, but it's totally worth it. If you have knee or balance problems, you might consider walking the shoreline from boat ramp 1 to meet your group at our beach.

My family had great stay over new year's week! The house has everything you need and pet friendly. It was well maintained and clean. The location right off the lake provides beautiful views. It was spacious enough for our group with the primary bedroom and bathroom on the main floor and two guest bedrooms with a jack-in-jill bathroom a level down. The bunk room on the bottom level was so nicely designed with steps to the top bunks. The host was available when needed and responded quickly.

Everything from the host to the location and beyond! Beautiful property with magnificent views of the lake from every room! We meet up with our kids for a short intimate vaca every year & it was perfect. We all took turns cooking breakfast in the spacious well stocked kitchen with ample, well maintained supplies! The house was super clean & that’s the way we left it. It is every thing you dream of in a vacation rental! Thank you!

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!

Best Place at Canyon Lake

Where do I start? I had 10 guys come down from all over the states for my Bachelor Party this last weekend. When we pulled in, I couldn’t believe how secluded we felt. It was beautiful, peaceful and quiet all weekend (we may have been a little loud). The pictures do not do this place justice. The views and memories we had at this place will last forever. Tiffany was a fantastic host and checked on us a couple of times to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. This place was FANTASTIC and will be back.

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!

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!

Thank you for taking the time to review your stay. We do have a description on the number of steps to the lake on our website. I put it on there as soon as our property was listed on VRBO over 4 years ago so renters would know about it prior to booking. It is listed under the “location” tab under “lakefront”. There also is a boat ramp that is located right down the road from the property less than 0.2 miles away. We send the location and map to the boat ramp in our welcome email to every renter prior to their stay.

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!

Incredible weekend

We rent this property for a group of kids and several parents to celebrate graduation from highschool and make incredible memories on the lake away from everything. It was amazing. We rented multiple boats from military, used boat ramp down the street and enjoyed the views, beauty, water, sun and our children. The house was amazing and set up worked perfect for our group. We had everything we needed and hating leaving. Beds were comfortable and kitchen was fully stocked. Books written by owner was awesome and a really nice touch. The beauty of the location was impressive and breathtaking. The house did have alot of stairs but for the active individuals not an issue. The access to lake is not for persons with disabily but using boat ramp worked perfect and we had no issues. Thank you so much for allowing us to make incredible memories! We would rent again!

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!!

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!

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!!
