About this property

Modern Tiny Home Near River, Lake & Pickleball Courts

Welcome to the beautiful Hill Country! 'Emilia Hideaway' is a modern tiny home, open-concept studio with a loft. On a two-acre fenced lot behind the owners main house. On the NorthEast side of Canyon Lake, it's ideally located less than a mile between the lake and river. In the heart of the hill country yet an hour away from Austin, San Antonio, and Fredericksburg. Around the corner from the dam and spillway with gorgeous views, hiking, tubing, and fishing. There is something for everyone!


THE SPACE

SLEEPING AREA

It is an open-concept studio with a queen-sized bed on the main floor and a queen-sized pull-out couch. The loft has a twin-sized day bed for relaxing on but not intended for sleeping.

LIVING ROOM

Across from the bed, there is a pull-out couch. A flat-screen tv with a fire tv stick & swivels so you can watch anywhere in the house. This area is the perfect place to unwind or provide additional seating for guests.

KITCHEN

This open-concept kitchen is fully equipped with full-sized appliances. Have a beautiful home cooked meal with your family and friends.

BATHROOM

This bathroom provides a spacious shower for rejuvenation & a front load washer and dryer for convenience. We supply a hair dryer, extra towels, extra linens, and toiletries. Forgot a toothbrush, razor, face wipes, etc.? Don't worry we have those for you just in case!

Porch and Gazebo

There is a large, private, covered porch with ample comfortable seating. A great place to bask in the warm sun or relax to the sounds of cricket choirs in the evenings.

The Gazebo is located on the front side of the property, a very short distance from Emilia Hideaway. This is a shared space that provides a grill, fireplace, and a larger space to entertain and star gaze at the one-of-a-kind hill country sky.

Canyon Lake Trip

This place was perfect for our family of 4 and our dog. We loved the little home it was perfect for us and our small children, ages 11 & 8. The home had everything we needed and was so well decorated. The location was also perfect for access to the lake. Thanks for letting us stay, we enjoyed it!

Perfect location (pets included)

The house had perfect spacing for the amount of people it allows (pets included). We loved the patio as well, very spacious for dogs as well and the fact that it was all fenced was even better. For outdoors activity it was super close to nice spots (tubing, damn lake, hiking trails) it was just perfect!

Great Location Loft

We are very pleased to have stayed in a super clean loft with a modern touch, only 5 minutes away from the Overlook Park of Canyon Lake. The loft had a comfortable and warming touch for my family and my dogs which was very convenient for us who care about our four-legged babies. We’re highly thankful to have found this place, we will definitely recomment this loft!

Cute tiny home

We enjoyed staying in this tiny home. It is very clean and has a nice kitchen. We like to do most of our meals in and the kitchen was perfect. There is also a gas grill that we used. This home is close to the dam and a nature walk. I hope to stay here again at some point in the future

Perfect Escape

I spent two weeks at the Hideaway while I quarantined so I could be with my boyfriend on our anniversary. The house had absolutely everything I needed and became my home away from home over that time. The bed, couch, and even rug were all very comfortable, but I enjoyed the patio chairs best. I spent much of my days enjoying the sunshine on the front porch. The shower was big, the washer/dryer was very convenient, and the fridge kept my food fresh my entire stay! Just a dream house with dream amenities on a beautiful property with friendly and respectful hosts. I will definitely be back and have already recommended the place to many friends!

Winter storm sanctuary

We arrived during an ice storm! Emilia, the tiny home, from a distance was easy to spot. A Billboard easy to see from the main road led us to the gated drive. The porch lights were lit, and ohh the warmth was a wonderful comfort from the cold! My boys ages 3 and 5, were so excited to roam around the home. We had everything we needed to weather the cold, extra blankets and towels we placed just for us. Everything we needed and things we didn't think of were available. Beautiful property, witnessed a family of deer running thru the snow close by, we made snowmen, had warm dinners, and walked the property with our Dog. Which was safely fenced. The entire property felt very secure. The cleanliness, I honestly couldn't believe we weren't the first ones staying there, as it was spotless. During our stay, we ended up snowed in a few extra days, and our host was easy to communicate with and extended our stay very easily. A big deal** We ended up not having enough water.. I didn't even have a chance to realize this, before our host brought a case of water for myself and my boys, letting me know if I needed more not to hesitate to let them know. ** Water right now, during the storm and after is a hard to come by at the moment. It is sold out everywhere! This type of thoughtfulness just was something I don't think you would easily find elsewhere. If I'm ever in need of place to stay while in canyon lake, this will be my first place to check for availabilities and will be the only place I refer to others. Clean, Comfortable, stylishly rustic. High end finishes, and five star service! The storm of the century for Texas was not so bad for my family, thanks to Emilias Hideaway.

We stayed in March and the tiny house was cozy for my family and our 2 small dogs. The entrance can be hard to see at night even with lights and when we were there the keypad didn't light up. Other than that it was great and centrally located.
