Canyon Lake July 4th Family Trip
Great property with an awesome pool area. My family really enjoyed staying at this property. Great location to view the community firework show from the backyard. Enjoyed close golf, and easy trips to San Diego Zoo and Huntington Beach. Would recommend this property and plan to stay again due to close proximity of California relatives. Thanks John

Great place! Great location!
This was a very comfortable home. The hot tub and pool were very nice. Our daughter appreciated having her own space downstairs. We had a great time cooking together in the spacious kitchen. We could tell that this owner cares about the property and is really diligent in making sure his guests are comfortable. My only slight complaint is that the couches need new foam. They were really squishy and not firm, making it hard to get up from the couch. Would stay there again, but we'll probably just buy a house in the area. Loved Canyon Lake!!!

About the host

Hosted by John Howard

Host profile image
I am and have been an entrepreneur since the age of 17. I currently own and operate a diversified internet marketing business and a diversified real estate business and enjoy a flexible schedule. I enjoy 'slow mondays' on the lake getting some great waterskiing and wakeboarding time in. Getting away to the Lake House with friends, family and loved ones is one of my favorite recreations during the warmer months. The Pool, hot tub, slide, outdoor eating and conversation areas foster an environment to create lasting memories.

Why they chose this property

I chose Canyon Lake because when I drove through the gates and crossed over the lake I knew immediately it was the perfect little community for me. Growing up with a water lifestyle near the Chesapeke Bay in Maryland, I yearned for a way to go boating and do watersports in Southern California. Watersports is one of my greatest passions in life and the calm waters of Canyon Lake is a waterskiers dream. The warm climate and scenic beauty add an unforgettable element to your experience in Canyon Lake. My property has one of the greatest views in the largest private community in the US(Canyon Lake) and during the warmer months it is an outdoor recreational paradise.

What makes this property unique

While staying at the Lake House you will enjoy one of the greatest views anywhere. The property is set high on the hill and you can capitalize on enjoying 360 degree mountain views and unforgettable views of the lake, mountains and the sunset. There are also 2 outdoor firepits by the Pool so you can lounge by a warm fire next to the pool at night. The outdoor grill, kitchen and eating area is also a great place to enjoy a dinner with friends and/or family. During the warmer months(May - October), the property truly is an outdoor recreational paradise.
