Spectacular views greet you as you enter this gorgeous getaway. This 5 bedroom, 4 bath home is truly for those looking for a relaxing, magical escape for friends or family. It is set at the top of the hill offering views that will take your breath away. The home is a short walk to boat ramp 5 and Comal Park. The nearby public golf course is an additional bonus.
On the first floor, there is a main suite with a king-size bed and its own private large ensuite and closet. This room also offers private access to the deck (sleeps 2). Enjoy a cup of Joe in the morning or a nice cool beverage in the evening while taking in the endless views. The second bedroom is also on the main floor allowing for fewer steps for guests. It has a queen adjustable bed (sleeps 2). There is a bathroom attached with a stand-up shower.
Upstairs there are two more bedrooms and a media room. In addition, there is access to the upstairs deck with even bigger views of the entire lake and the surrounding area. On this deck, we have a fireplace table and six-bar height chairs used for creating great memories on cool evenings. The third bedroom has a queen bed and offers beautiful lake views (sleeps 2). The fourth bedroom adjoins jack and jill style with stand-up shower. This bedroom has a full-size bed along with two twin bunks (sleeps 4).
When heading downstairs to the lowest level, there is a built-in bedroom/casita. It has its own living space with a sectional that has a pull-out couch (can sleep up to 3 max on sectional). Next, to the living space, there is a queen adjustable bed. In this cozy space, there is a coffee station, smart tv, and full-size bathroom.
Just outside the casita, there is a wonderful oversized wood fire area with seating for 8. This is the perfect place for making smores, cooking on the fire screen, and having fireside chats.We have also added an eight-person hot tub. The string lighting and outdoor tv are enjoyed while relaxing in the hot tub.
This home is truly a magical getaway that offers so much at the home but plenty to do nearby. The lake is a 1/2 mile walk from the home. You can access the lake at the nearby boat ramp 5 or boat ramps 3 & 4 in Comal Park. At the park, they offer two boat ramps, picnic areas, swimming areas, bathrooms, and more. The cost is $5 per day. The Guadalupe River is a short 15-minute drive away. Whitewater Amphitheater/ River Float offers outdoor concerts (see their website for a list of performances and dates) and tubing down the river for either 1-5 hour floats. The home is a 20-minute drive to the wonderful town of Gruene. In this historic, adorable town you will find, the oldest dance hall in Texas, small-town shopping, live music, restaurants, wine porches, antiques, and more. Wimberly and New Braunfels (Comal river floats in New Braunfels), are two other towns that you will want to visit for more of the same kind of fun and only 30 minutes from the house. Fredericksburg and Dripping Springs are two very popular areas for enjoying Texas wine country and they are about an hour away. You can stop in the famous town of Luckenbock on the way. There are also distilleries, breweries, and the famous Salt Lick BBQ nearby.
Such beautiful views! So much to do! What are you waiting for? Why Wait? whywaitevacationrentals.com We look forward to having you:)

Thoroughly enjoyed our Thanksgiving Family Get-Away
This was the perfect house for the family (grandparents, parents, children and aunts) to get away for a few days and enjoy Thanksgiving in a new, peaceful environment. The house had everything and accomodated us extremely well.

This house was perfect for my family to celebrate the New Year. The views were spectacular and the house, beautiful. The patios were big and inviting. Everything you need is in the kitchen. We would definitely book this property again!

It was our pleasure having you as our guest. We would love to become your vacation home away from home.
This is a wonderful home to spend a weekend away with your family. Lovely decks and responsive manager around the corner from the Craines Mill Marina, plus a hot tub to relax. We were not disappointed!

It was truly our pleasure having you as our guest. We are so happy that you enjoyed your stay. I am assuming you rented a boat from Crane's Mill Marina. That is fabulous. We love the lake, and the hot tub is an added bonus.
This home was exceptional. Enjoyed with elderly parents, daughters and their little families. View of the lake was breathtaking.
Would highly recommend this home!!!

Fabulous place with amazing views
We rented this home with another couple and our adult children and everyone had a wonderful time. The home is beautiful and to say it is well stocked is an understatement. There is everything you can think of and then some!
We visit Canyon lake several times a summer and this house will be at the top of our list.

Absolutely breathtaking! Our group of seasoned travelers, having explored Europe and South America, were uniformly blown away from the moment we stepped in. A truly unforgettable experience! 5/5 stars

You are so kind!! It was truly our pleasure having you as our guests. We hope that we can become your vacation home away from home.
The pictures on the site don’t do this property justice. The views were breathtaking, the home was beautiful and the rooms were all spacious. The casita was so cute and perfect! Would love for this to be an annual stay at canyon lake! Kathy was also super responsive when I had questions about the area!

Thank you so much for the wonderful review. We are so excited that you loved the house as much as we do. We hope to have you back next year.
This house and grounds provided a perfect Thanksgiving Holiday week for our entire family of 11 ages 68 to 8. Not only do you get a spectacular view of the lake but the home is just as spectacular - from the well equipped kitchen to the comfy sofas and beds to the relaxing outdoor furniture, swings, fire tables and hot tub - this home has it all. Kathy, the host, is absolutely amazing. She went above and beyond from the moment we put down our deposit until it was time to check out by helping us plan our touring and sightseeing in the area. This home, this host, this lake area - a definite 10 out of 10 !!
What a beautiful property! Big, spacious, clean, comfortable, with an awesome view overlooking Canyon Lake. All rooms were nice - big and small, upstairs and downstairs. Casita and hot tub on lower level were awesome for kids (18+) to hang out together.
Amenities in the home were just like being at home - everything available in the kitchen, large dinner table, cable tv, outside deck for relaxing and chatting. About a 15 min walk/5 min drive to the 'closed' boat ramp where we were able to chill on the shoreline and also drop in our kayak. Secluded and quiet. Loved it. Did not venture over to Cranes Mill to look at renting a boat or jet ski, but thought about it. Did drive about 5 min to get breakfast tacos and coffee at the nearby food trucks - pricey! - but good - and convenient. Overall, a very enjoyable weekend. Property owners were a breeze to work with too! We will do it again!
