Beautiful property! We had a great time at Canyon Lake with our group of 11 total (7 at this property) and 4 at a neighboring property. Great kitchen with all the necessities (including knives that were actually sharp!) kids loved the upstairs area. Views are spectacular!

Highly recommend this rental! We truly enjoyed our small get together. Property was well stocked with everything you could possibly need. Cleaning staff made sure it was well cleaned prior to our check-in. The best part were the views, access to the lake and peaceful surroundings. Thank you for sharing this amazing home with us for the weekend.

The Happy Owl was lovely. Accommodations overall very nice & easy. I wish the deck had been cleaned before we arrived and the hot top was open. It was a gorgeous evening on Friday. There were no instructions on how to unlock the hot tub so I would consider it, not as featured. Location was okay easy to get to. We felt the neighborhood was run down.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the accommodations at Happy Owl Lakehouse and found your stay overall easy and pleasant. We’re sorry the deck was not cleaned to your expectations and that the hot tub was not accessible or clearly instructed during your stay, especially on such a nice evening. That’s not the experience we aim to provide, and we’ll be reviewing both the setup and the instructions to make sure future guests have a smoother experience. We also appreciate your honest comments about the surrounding area. While location perceptions can vary, your feedback is helpful and will be taken into consideration. Thank you again for staying with us, we appreciate your input and hope we can provide an improved experience in the future.

My family loved this beautiful home on Canyon Lake! Plenty of space for privacy for three generations when needed but also tons of great gathering space. Five stars for sure, but only gave four for description because the picture of the lake from the deck is obviously very out of date. Not the homeowner’s fault though that the lake is low, and luckily the property does still have direct access but it is quite an effort to get down there. No way my 78 year-old father-in-law could have done it.

Thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re so happy to hear your family enjoyed the home and that it provided both spacious gathering areas and comfortable privacy for three generations—that’s exactly the kind of experience we hope to create. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the lake photo and access. You’re absolutely right that lake levels can vary, and we understand how that can impact expectations. We’re glad you noted the property still has access, but we also recognize your point about the difficulty of the terrain for some guests, especially those with limited mobility. Your comments are very helpful and will be shared with our team as we continue to review listing details and guest guidance. Thank you again for staying with us, and we hope to welcome your family back in the future!

I’ve stayed at many different rentals. This one by far was one of the nicest. It was beautifully decorated and accommodated our family of eleven very well. The view of the lake was spectacular. The amenities provided by the owner we’re better than expected. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you Happy Owl Lakehouse.

Pics don’t do it justice

This house is absolutely stunning!! Stocked well with everything you could need from cooking items to floats and activities! We enjoyed lots of time down at the lake, the walk is a bit rocky and steep but we managed just fine. Our group is already talking about making this a yearly tradition. Can’t wait to come back!
