The home was spotless, beautifully maintained, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. The views of the lake were beautiful and the peaceful surroundings made it easy to unwind. We loved how close we were to outdoor activities like boating, hiking, and exploring the nearby Hill Country. The host was amazing and made sure every detail of our stay was comfortable. It truly felt like a home away from home, and we would gladly return for another stay in a heartbeat.
Fully stocked home, tucked away from busy roads and street lights. Pet friendly was an amazing bonus, The backyard wasn't exactly pet friendly for my pup, but the beautiful neighborhood was very walkable, so we enjoyed that. The house was close to everything, but felt like a little oasis away from everything. It was a lovely stay and i would highly recommend this place.
We had a great time at this property. It was true to the listing, very well stocked kitchen and other items and in a very quiet neighborhood. The owners were very accommodating to us and easy and pleasant to communicate with. Highly recommended!
We will forever be thankful for the wonderful stay with our friends and family! Beautiful, clean house with beautiful views! All the beds were comfy! The house was so so welcoming!

Thank you very much for the great review. We appreciate knowing you were very comfortable and thoroughly enjoyed the home. We welcome you and your family and friends back anytime!
Loved the stay! House was great! Lake was awesome! Pool was great! Beds could have been softer but everything else was so amazing it really didn’t matter. I highly recommend this house in this subdivision, at this lake. My family will be back!
Thank you Lorenzo for taking time to review our home. We strive to have a clean and comfortable home for your stay. We hope you enjoyed your visit and come back to stay with us again soon.
The home was absolutely beautiful with amazing views of the lake. Such a clean home and easy to navigate. The neighborhood was quiet and no issues finding the place. Would recommend to anyone for a short or long stay.

Thank you Lizette. We are happy to hear you enjoyed the home and had everything you needed. We can't wait for you and your family to come back.
We stayed here to attend a family reunion down the street. We had 4 families - 11 people. Everyone had a bed and a place to park their car. Kitchen was well stocked (best I’ve ever seen at a VRBO). Lots of seating in the kitchen. Great air conditioning!!
We were very impressed with how thoughtful the owners were in filling up their home with all the conveniences that a family would need- from the coffee station, kitchen supplies, to linens etc. We had a great stay because everything was fully stocked and detailed- Kleenex boxes, hand sanitizer, small medication supply. Highly recommend!
For our weekend stay this property had everything we needed. Not only was there plenty of parking for our large group, there was plenty of beds and couches for comfortable sleeping. The views from the house were great and the short distance from the lake was ideal.
I would definitely stay here again.

Thank you Mariela for the great review of the property. We are very happy you enjoyed the holiday in our home and had everything you needed. We would love for you to visit again. Thank you for choosing our home.
It starts with great communication with the owners. So responsive to our questions. House has everything and so well thought out. Beautiful design, great open layout and plenty of visiting deer. So many great restaurants nearby, plus Canyon Lake swim beaches a short drive. My daughter was thrilled to even be able to do laundry for her family. We would definitely rent again.

Thank you Joe for the great review. We love hearing our guests had a great time and enjoyed the home. We hope you make a trip back sometime. We would love to host you and your family again.
What a fun weekend! This house was incredibly cleaned and well stocked. There are so many little details that made it a convenient and easy stay, from a phone charging dock to a stocked coffee bar and toiletries. We made it a packed weekend with a concert at whitewater amphitheater, which is only 12 minutes away, and then rented a boat on Canyon Lake the next day. The house is the perfect location to do both activities. The beds are comfortable and the view is amazing! We’ll definitely stay here again!

We are thrilled Jeri that you had such a great time! Thank you very much for the wonderful review. We really love that you enjoyed the home and the little touches we like to provide for our guests.
We do hope you come back again!
There are 13 of us, 8 adults and 5 kids and it's difficult to find a place to accommodate all of us comfortably. This house was definitely in the top 3 places we've stayed. The owners are so considerate to make sure the home has those extra items that make you feel at home. Very clean, quiet neighborhood w/ a gorgeous view of the lake and sunrise! All good and our only negative feedback would be the comfort of the beds! There are 3 beds and the rest of the sleeping arrangements are fold out couches.
Rented this beautiful lake house for our family Christmas vacation. This house has everything you need and more. Plenty of extra bedding and pillows. We didn't have any kids but I did see play cribs, high chairs, plates and spoons for the little ones. Plenty of parking too! The owners are very nice and responsive! Would stay here again for sure!! Both dogs loved the yard.
