“What a wonderful home. The entire house was generously appointed, clean and good quality. The sunrise and sunset from the dipping pool and back deck were breath taking. Marilyn was readily available for any questions we had. We all had a magnificent experience.” — Ingrid
“This home was perfect for our stay. The scenery was our favorite part. My family of 10 felt right at home and the home matched the photos and descriptions perfectly. Marilyn was an excellent host and so friendly and responsive. We would definitely stay at this location again!” — Celinda
“We really enjoyed our time in canyon lake at Marilyn’s place. The house was clean, with all amenities. Marilyn was easy to communicate with and very responsive. With an easy drive to the lake, San Antonio, new braunfels and other hill country attractions, this house was in the perfect location. We even enjoyed early morning walks and jogs around the neighborhood. Would recommend to anyone who needs to unplug with family.” — Sang
