Spent a few days here for my daughter's graduation weekend. The back deck was awesome to sit and enjoy the outdoors, with lots of tree cover to keep you comfortable, even in May! Loved how close it was to Canyon Lake North Park for a swim. The river behind the property was very stagnant and had lots of snakes, so we did not swim. We did however, bring rafts to fish from and to enjoy the river otherwise. Communication with the property was excellent.

Thank you for your review! We’re so glad you enjoyed celebrating your daughter’s graduation weekend here and relaxing on the back deck. We’re happy the location near Canyon Lake worked out well and that you were still able to enjoy the river for fishing and floating. We also appreciate your kind words about our communication and would love to host you again!

Great family birthday wvent

We all loved the house and the dock area! Just perfect for our family weekend stay. The fold out bed needs more padding with the metal springs. we has a little trouble with the bbq grill, but changed out the propane and it worked much better the next night.

The hidden gem of Canyon Lake

Beautiful property with everything you need on site! Close enough to everything be convenient, but far enough away to offer unmatched peace and quiet. The direct river access is a dream come true for those with a kayak or paddle board to get out and enjoy the water. The guest house, home of the 2nd queen size bed, is a perfect divider for families who may want a little more privacy :)

Thank you so much for the thoughtful review! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the peaceful setting, convenient location, and especially the direct river access—it really is a special feature for kayaking and paddleboarding. We’re glad the guest house setup worked well for your group too. We’d love to welcome you back anytime for another relaxing getaway!
