Nice little getaway

Super cute house on the lake! Everything was clean and we were able to cook/grill easily with the supplies they had in the kitchen. There was ample space and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the pool table. Communication was great as well. When we went the lake was at 60% capacity so the kids were able to fish and skip rocks. Overall, we’d visit again!

Great location and the house was very roomy. Saw deer every morning and afternoon. Loved the large back porch. Walkway to lake is sorta steep but paved and makes it easy to walk down and back. Gazebo is a plus

Great Family Getaway!

We had a great stay in this hill country house. The views are amazing and the sunsets are gorgeous. And every night after sunset we had a group of deer come up to hang out by the back deck. The house had all the supplies we needed. The house needs some updates, but we would still come back again!!

Great weekend

Very clean with plenty of room! My husband and I brought our two daughters and their friends for Memorial Day weekend. The house had plenty of space and was very clean. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed and the bathrooms had plenty of bath towels. Our favorite part was watching all of the deer in the yard.

We had a lovely time enjoying the views and deer! The kitchen has plenty of amenities if you choose to stay in and cook. The bed linens in the upstairs bedrooms seem a little worn.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Beautiful home on a beautiful lake!! Great place to gather all the grown children. Walking down to the water and back was a task for our 70+ year old mom and my father in law. If you have elderly parents or really small kids it is quiet the work out.! But it was a perfect spot to Paddlleboard as you are in a little protective cove. We will be back!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Second time we've stayed here and we love it. I Have rented out other homes in the area before, but have not liked those homes as much as this one. I love the spacious house,the out side porch and flat grassy area that is perfect for my small kiddos to run around. The lake is close by and the area is very private and quite. Which is perfect for my older kiddos to walk around and explore on their own. Will definitely stay here again.

We have rented vacation rentals many times before, and this is the cleanest we have ever seen. Everything you would need was already there. The view is amazing. Deer at your back porch every day. The property feels secluded but is only 10 minutes away from CVS and grocery store. It was one of the most relaxing vacations we have had. We are already talking about staying at the Blue Diamond Retreat again.

No Lake Front

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very unhappy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The home was clean, and the accommodations were nice. As stated in the listing, there are starter items, but no food items. This is fine. However, The listing says 185' of lake front for swimming and water fun. The lake has dropped over the last couple of years (I learned after arriving) therefore, the house has NO lake frontage. The picture and statement is false. If you are looking for lake access, this is not the place. If you want to swim, there is no water. If you just want a view from the house, then you can see the lake off in the distance.

There’s still plenty of water to kayak in Canyon lake!

The path down to the water is about as gentle of a slope as you can get at canyon lake. Bring water shoes for the rocks, though! Very clean house! Kitchen table is the best spot to look at the lake and hang out. Location is great, lake front, great views, awesome deck with trees and fans and new, comfortable outdoor furniture. Beautiful trees! Steep driveway if you don’t have 4WD, so use the black top one on the left to exit! Cons: Honestly a bit under stocked compared to other VRBOs I’ve stayed in as far as basic kitchen condiments, cleaning products, toilet paper and trash bags but they warn you about it ahead of time plenty. Living room couches older, not very comfortable. I did not love the check in process (I’ve never had to provide so much proof that I am the renter since VRBO does all that verified communication, seems very unnecessary.)

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I have rented several house on Canyon Lake this house is by far the BEST! Plenty of sleeping space. Plenty of towels (for showering)for our guest. Washer & Dryer. Large covered deck. Easy walk down to the water. A little steep coming up but not too bad. You can anchor your boat and jet skis in front of house. Hang out in the water. Plenty of room to park your boat and jet skis in driveway. Pool table in house for entertainment. Not far from boat ramp. Book this house for your next vacation at Canyon Lake you won’t be disappointed!

Canyon Lake house

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: House was a bit dated but very clean and well taken care of. Lake was at 50% capacity so it wasn't great for swimming. The capacity restriction was a killer for me. My son and wife live in San Antonio and wanted to visit for a bit but, after asking the management company I was told that we could get kick off the property if I violated the rule. It was not a big deal, but I will definitely not consider this ho.e as an option in the future.I can see how some may take advantage if a rule is not in place ,but they should also take into account that I asked about day visitors and the number which was 2..well it is the owners rules and they have no choice bit, follow them.

Pictures do not smell. Pictures do not deteriorate like a house.

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This house smells horribly. The rental agent said the owners like to do the maintenance. They need professional help. This house has chemical smell coming from the junky garage that spreads throughout. Carpets, drapes, furniture, inside and outside paint etc. are dirty. We were greated with a full driveway trash can from the last renters. Showers are too small, toilets are too low, kitchen utensils are old. The laundry in the garage is dirty and unplanned. This rental rates a 3 on a 10 scale. We signed the contract before seeing the property. That was a BIG mistake.

Communication with New Braunfels Escapes was also excellent, thank you.Very enjoyable trip and we plan to be back.
