Tres A Lake Retreat – Luxury Lakefront Living with Private Pool, Hot Tub & Direc

W.O.R.D Permit- L1350
Welcome to Tres A Lake Retreat, an upscale 4-bedroom, 4-bath luxury home on the tranquil shores of Canyon Lake, where impeccable design meets exceptional outdoor living. With direct access to the lake just steps from the backyard, a resort-style pool and spa, and an exclusive lakeside pavilion, this property offers the ultimate Hill Country escape for discerning travelers. Accommodating up to 10 guests, it’s an ideal retreat for families or groups seeking a serene yet stylish getaway.

The Outdoor Experience
From the moment you arrive, you’ll be drawn to the thoughtfully landscaped backyard, designed to maximize relaxation and lakeview living. At the heart of it all is the stunning private pool and elevated hot tub—perfect for soaking in the sunset or unwinding beneath the stars. Lounge poolside in one of the many comfortable chaises, enjoy alfresco dining under the covered patio, or kick back in the shade with a drink in hand.

While the propane fire pit near the pool is not available for guest use, the ambiance is far from lacking—ambiant lighting, and serene water views set the stage for unforgettable evenings. And just a few steps down a gentle slope, your own private lakeside pavilion awaits. Outfitted with a large fire pit, colorful Adirondack chairs, a lake swing, kayaks, and a sound system that extends all the way from the house, this space offers a true waterfront sanctuary.

Luxury Interiors
Inside, the home is equally impressive. The open-concept living room features refined wood floors, a beautiful stone fireplace, and expansive windows framing views of the lake and pool. A leather reclining sectional and large flatscreen TV offer a cozy place to unwind after a day on the water.

The chef’s kitchen is appointed with quartz countertops, a farmhouse sink, stainless steel appliances—including a high-end gas range with hood—and a spacious island for gathering. A corner pantry and custom coffee bar add both charm and convenience. Whether you’re enjoying a casual breakfast at the island or a more formal dinner at the dining table, every meal comes with a view.

Bedrooms & Baths
The luxurious primary suite offers a king bed, fireplace, flatscreen TV, and large windows that bathe the space in natural light. The en-suite bathroom is a spa-worthy retreat featuring marble floors, a soaking tub, walk-in shower, dual vanities, a seated makeup area, and full-length mirror.

The second bedroom includes a queen bed and vibrant accents, with its own en-suite bath and walk-in shower. The third bedroom is ideal for friends or older children, featuring two queen beds and an en-suite with a tub/shower combo. The fourth bedroom includes a queen bed, flatscreen TV, and built-in shelving, and shares access to the fourth full bathroom—conveniently accessible from both inside and the pool/lake area.

We have no complaints, we enjoyed our stay, and it was exactly as advertised. The property was clean, the kitchen was well equipped with everything labeled. The bbq was a charcoal bbq so keep this in mind if you are planning on using it (there wasn’t really anything to help get the charcoal going, so we ended up just having to use the stovetop). Thanks for a great stay!

Thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced at the start of your stay. We appreciate you bringing the gas line issue to our attention. This has been addressed with our maintenance team to ensure the main gas supply is checked and confirmed on prior to every arrival moving forward. The water heater and pool heater should always be fully operational and ready for our guests. Your comfort is very important to us, and we regret that we fell short in this instance. We hope you’ll consider giving us another opportunity in the future to provide the seamless experience you deserve.

Overall, the house was very nice with a great pool and beautiful lakefront location — perfect for relaxing and enjoying the outdoors. However, there were a few issues that affected our stay. The oven wasn’t working, the house wasn't thoroughly cleaned upon arrival, and the kitchen was missing some basic necessities that would have made meal prep easier.On a positive note, the property management company was very responsive and helpful in addressing concerns quickly. With a bit more attention to detail in cleaning and amenities, this home could easily be a five-star rental.

Even though the lake is low, this is a great place. It was only nice one day so we only used the pool that day. Plenty of room for all of us. We had a little trouble getting the Television to work. But once we figured it out all was good. Nice quiet place.

The house is beautifully designed with alot of space to relax and enjoy the lake. You have to walk to the back of the property to get a view of the lake. When you do it is a lovely view. The pool lights don't work and there are no lights near patio area by the pool. As beautiful as the home the home needs a deep clean interior and exterior. We had planned on to stay for the weekend to cook at the house. The pots and pans are really old, no blender, the grill is really old (no cleaning supplies to clean grill) we had to go to Dollar General to buy. They were really good about responding to any issues we had right away. Im hoping that they do improve on these changes we would love to return and give them another chance.

The dates we stayed were 9/1-9/4/25. Beautiful space to relax and chill. The home was beautiful and the backyard was awesome! We enjoyed the pool and the use of the floaties. Never got the spa jets to come on so we didn’t end up using that. We didn’t use the lake but enjoyed the sunsets. Someone else had checked out the morning we arrived and the cleaning left much to be desired. The cleaning people did what looked like a fast job and missed SEVERAL things, which I brought to the Property manager's attention. This was our only disappointment. For the amount we paid, and what you’re charged for cleaning, I expected much better! I would definitely stay there again if I needed to be back in that area, and I would hope that the cleaning staff have been notified of their shortcomings.

Beautiful house, great location!!

This property is beautiful and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. There are kayaks per the listing but the property says life jackets provided but the management company had no idea of that accommodation so we had to run out and buy our own. Also know before going to use the kayaks you will need to bring your own whistles as well. Just little things that would be great to know before arriving. Would absolutely stay again!

Wedding Retreat

We were in town for our daughter’s wedding and stayed here with our other grown children. The house is beautiful and served us well. The location was just a bit out of our way, but the house was beautiful and the pool and hot tub were just what we needed. Unfortunately, the water is low in the river/lake, therefore, we were unable to kayak. Overall, we had a great stay and would recommend. It helped us to read the reviews in advance to know things we might need to bring. Wish we could spend just one more day in the pool and hot tub!

It is a beautiful home and many amenities! It was disappointing the pool was not clean the day we arrived, mgmt had someone there by the evening to clean. Our grandkids were very sad so we lost a day. The hot tub was not working also. The lake was extremely low so couldn't kayak or go boating.

Relaxing visit

The house was comfortable stay for a family getaway. We enjoyed the hot tub. Our 2yr old enjoyed the toys & books available. There is keurig available and most kitchen appliances. Bring your own shower gel, shampoo/conditioner. The “fire pit” does not include the fire pit pictured by the pool. It is not working. It only includes the wood fire pit, but there is a fire ban. There are signs in the house to not use the fireplace in the house although the listing advertises the fireplaces. There is a house being built immediately beside the property so expect construction noises early in the morning and all day as well as construction workers working at heights overlooking the pool area, The group we contacted were not at all empathetic to any of these disappointments.

Great property - inside and out

The house was great - perfect layout with views of the pool and lake. The terraced yard down to the lake was really nice with plenty of seating. There was more than enough room for everyone. Definitely plan to come back in spring or fall when it's not so hot outside. Some helpful advice for future guests - the house has a Sonos speaker system, so that was pleasant surprise (all rooms indoors and outdoors as well). They also provide pool towels so no need to pack those. The grill is only charcoal, so you'll need to bring or buy some. Coffee maker is Keurig, so bring or buy some pods. Also bring some cleaning supplies as there were not any small samples provided (dishwasher detergent, laundry detergent, etc).

We were very disappointed with the condition of this rental. We expected an upscale property to be clean and this was certainly not the case. Upon arrival, we were welcomed by a wasp nest on the front gate. Walking in the front door there was yard debris and cobwebs on/under the entry table. The kitchen was beyond filthy! Dirty dishes and glassware were in the cabinets, most of the glassware was stuck to the cabinet shelf. The cabinets were sticky and covered in grime and caked on food spills that clearly had not been wiped off in a very long time. The countertops were greasy with dead bugs along the backsplash of every counter and the range hood and backsplash wall were also covered in grease and dead bugs. The ice maker and refrigerator had noticeable mold. The cabinet that houses the trash cans in the kitchen was very smelly and damp. We elected to remove the trash can to keep from having to be exposed to whatever is growing in that cabinet. The outdoor areas had clearly not been attended to in a long time as well. The windows were filthy with tons of dead bugs, the patio furniture and tables were dirty and covered in webs, debris and dead bugs. The house provided a single 2x3” sponge and a dish brush, no dish cloth. I do have supporting pictures of every single issue listed and will forward them to the property mgmt. its a shame that it is so filthy as it is a nice house.

Nice but over priced

Mattresses are truly awful! No propane grill. No swing. Kitchen was not fully stocked with the basics for cooking. Have to add some many apps to run the things - much prefer an actual switch. Instructions to use oven not legible and not sure the broil function works. Bring extra towels not enough in each bathroom for longer than a day. Pool and hot tub was nice but never could figure out how to get the blower to work.

Spring Break

The Lake Retreat is a wonderful property situated on Canyon Lake. It is very peaceful. The house is spacious and fit our group of 9 without issue. There are some top of the line amenities like the Sonos whole home audio system. We had some questions during our stay and communication with the rental group was terrific. We were disappointed to learn that the outdoor gas fire pit by the pool wasn't working for our stay but it was only a minor inconvenience. The outdoor grill is only a charcoal grill, which is mentioned in other reviews (the listing states propane/charcoal). The backyard area out by the lake provides a lot of space and the huge fire pit and pavilion are great for ending the night on the lakefront. We explored a lot of the area (San Antonio 45 mins, Austin 75 mins, New Braunfels 40 mins) but you could easily spend a week just staying at the house and the towns 15-20 minutes away have all the necessities. We really enjoyed our time here.

Beautiful house but has a few issues

This home is gorgeous and has many wonderful features. We might consider coming back in the future, however, we had a few issues that the owner should address. Some of the beds were terrible. I think they were the kind that have air in them and some were over inflated and some were under inflated. If the controllers for those beds had been available, we could have fixed that ourselves. Another issue was the oven/stove. There needs to be instructions on how to turn on the oven, it was very difficult to get to turn on. Also, some of the burners on the stove did not work. Also, the outside grill was horrible. We really didn't mind the fact that it was not gas, We brought charcoal. But it is very old and greasy and needs to be replaced. A major issue was the fact that the steps outside were very steep and narrow. Handrails would help this issue. Also, the steps in the pool were extremely steep and narrow. In fact, one of our party fell getting out of the pool and has a rib injury. She fell because the steps were EXTREMELY steep, If there had been handrails, she probably would not have fallen. The yard guy came our first full day and took all morning doing the yard. He did a marvelous job but we felt it would have been so much better if he had been scheduled between guests. We did have a great time in spite of these issues. We just felt that the owner should be made aware of these issues so that they can be corrected.

Thank you for your thoughtful feedback—we’re glad to hear you enjoyed the home overall and are considering a return visit. We also truly appreciate you pointing out the areas that need improvement. We'll be addressing the issues you mentioned, including the beds, stove, grill, and especially the need for handrails on the outdoor steps and pool to improve safety. Your note about the yard work timing is also well taken. Your input is invaluable, and we hope to welcome you back in the future for an even better stay.
