During your stay, you'll have exclusive use of the Custom Rustic Home, the hot tub on the back deck, fire pit (closed during burn bans), swing set, hammock, and propane BBQ grill (with propane provided). The home features a large circular driveway, with the left entrance shared with the neighboring tiny house. After entering the left gate, the driveway splits, giving each home its own designated driveway and parking area. On our 5-acre property, the Custom Rustic Home sits on about 1½ acres reserved just for its guests, while the neighboring tiny home has roughly ¾ of an acre designated for its guests. The remaining 2¾ acres is natural, wooded land, giving the property a peaceful, rustic feel. Although the homes are visible to one another, they are about 150–200 feet apart.

The faux wood stove "fireplace" features battery-operated, remote-controlled candles. Please note, it is not a real fireplace, so no actual fire is allowed.

Please note that while the refrigerator includes a water dispenser and ice maker, these features are not functional. But no worries, we’ve got you covered! A Brita pitcher is provided in the fridge for filtered, chilled water, along with ice cube trays in the freezer.

To ensure the best upkeep of the hot tub, our spa maintenance company cleans and balances it every Tuesday and Friday, even during your stay. During holiday weeks, the cleaning schedule may be adjusted to avoid coinciding with the holiday itself. We also vacuum and net the hot tub between every stay.

My family and I live in Montgomery, TX, and a few times a year we stay at the home next door when we're in Canyon Lake. We respect our guests' privacy and keep to ourselves during our visits..

We have a couple of cameras on the property that monitor the driveway and yard. We take our guests' privacy very seriously, and no cameras are located or directed inside the home, back decks, or hot tub areas. The cameras only monitor the driveway and front door.

For accurate price quotes, please enter your exact dates and the correct number of guests. The 'Booker'/Primary Guest must be at least 25 years old, and must also be a guest staying at the property. Proof of age or identity may be requested. For stays of 7+ days, an additional cleaning fee may apply.

Very hard to leave this place.

Staying at this place was exactly what we needed. Sunrises over the hills every morning provided so much peace. Seeing deer freely roam around was very pleasant. The house was beautiful and had everything we needed to make it a home away from home. Host was very accommodating and responsive to messages as well. We will definitely look this place up again if we are back in this area.

Highly recommend this home!

This was a super cute home and great stay! We had adults and kids on our trip, we did plenty of exploring on the property and kids even built a fort in the woods! You may even find some rock towers in the woods😉 The view was incredible especially the stars and sunrise! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Beds we're comfortable, amenities were fully stocked, the place was very clean and comfortable. Highly recommend this home for your vacation.

Great house with hot tub and view. Close to lake.

Awesome property. Quiet area with a private deck and hot tub. Cooked steaks on the grill and was walking distance to Dam Overlook. Inside was clean and well stocked with fast internet. Property Manager went out of their way to locate lost item we left. Definitely would stay again.

Beautiful property

We stayed with our kiddos (4, 6) and my MIL. The property is perfect for all ages. The on site playground and long driveway were perfect for the kids to be able to run around and play. The view is absolutely incredible from both the bottom and top decks. A short distance from Canyon Lake Dam. We walked there several times during our stay. We enjoyed everything and plan to visit again!

Beautiful home!

The house itself was beautiful. We enjoyed the view and our kids liked playing in the house. The only downside of the house was only 1 TV worked. Canyon Lake is probably better suited for older kids and adults as the beaches were very muddy and rocky for our 2 and 5 year olds. We spent a lot of our stay in New Braunfels in which we should have just stayed out there. However, this was more due to our children. The house was clean and a perfect fit. It would be very relaxing for people without toddlers!

Nice and Quiet

My husband and I spent two nights here. It's a cute little house with a comfy bed and lovely view out back. We live in the suburbs, so it was nice to see how utterly dark the country gets! The property immediately surrounding the home is well-lit, but cut off those lights and you can have some nice star gazing from the massive second-story deck. Overall it was quite clean, including the hot tub. Note to property caretakers: there's a noticeable amount of small bits of trash just beyond the ground floor deck that needs picking up. Our only complaint was the condition of the pots and pans. We brought groceries to cook for our entire stay, but everything had a lot of cooked-on grease and whatnot. My husband tried washing them, but when wiped with a paper towel the towels continued to turn brown. He picked up a cheap little pan and some disposables from the conveniently located nearby grocery store. In the grand scheme of things this was a minor added cost. All in all, we enjoyed our stay and would return if we're ever in the area again.

Beautiful place

A friend and I stayed here for a night, to disconnect from the world. The house was very nice, clean, and the bed was comfortable. The hot tub was nice on the super cold night we were there. The property is super nice and they had a number of different activities like cornhole for a much warmer night. Not very far from the lake or tubing at all. The interaction with the host was via email for us and she was super nice and accommodating. We will definitely stay here again. Thank you.

This property is absolutely beautiful. Rachel was prompt when we needed anything, the property had everything we could possibly need on hand, and the grounds were immaculate. I stayed with my husband and 2.5 year old son - we ended up not venturing out into Canyon Lake because of how peaceful the house was!

Our stay at Canyon Lake was perfect because we had this fantastic house with amazing views as our base of operations. The home was clean and the hot tub hot. Its proximity to the lake, river, and New Braunfels made the stay fun and easy. The homeowners were super helpful and responsive throughout the whole process.

Perfect winter getaway

We loved everything about the house. Rachel was incredibly kind and responsive to our questions. The view was stunning, the game room was perfect for the kids and the kitchen had everything we needed. The interior was nicely decorated. I was nervous there would be too many deers mounted but the one was downstairs and away from where the kids slept. The little snacks in the kitchen sweet and thoughtful. I was disappointed the hot tub wasn’t available but they communicated that with us before the trip although that was a major part of why I chose the house. Thank you Rachel for being a great host. We hope to be back in the future.

About the host

Hosted by Rachel

Host profile image
I discovered Canyon Lake in 2011 and quickly fell in love with it's clear turquoise water and refreshing rivers. My husband and I spent summers tubing and kayaking all day to avoid the Texas heat! In 2012, we purchased the vacant land and, through years of dedication and love, built our custom home. It's been a labor of passion, and we're thrilled to share this special place with guests who appreciate it as much as we do.

Over the past five years, we've gained invaluable hosting experience, welcoming travelers from all other the world. While we currently reside in Montgomery, TX, we've assembled a fantastic team of co-hosts, cleaners, and tradespeople to ensure our guests receive top-notch service and in-person assistance whenever needed.

We pride ourselves on kindness, fairness, and professionalism, as well as on providing a clean and well-maintained stay. We strive to provide an exceptional experience for every guest. Previously, we held Premier Host status on VRBO for four consecutive years. Although we took a brief hiatus from hosting on VRBO (the reason why we no longer have premier host status), our commitment to excellence remains unwavering.

We're excited to host you and hope our home becomes a cherished part of your travel memories!

Why they chose this property

We love Canyon Lake because of its beauty and the clear turquoise water. We chose our property on the north side of the lake because of its prime location near things to do and it's in the newer part of Canyon Lake (the south side of the lake is older).

What makes this property unique

The View, proximity to the Canyon Lake Dam, the great team of wonderful hosts/cohosts and top-notch cleaners.
