We really enjoyed our short stay, it was the perfect location and a great house near Canyon Lake. The host has done a spectacular job of having all the right things at the right spot, making everything very stylish and livable. The fenced in back yard was perfect for our family dog, and everyone loved the hot tub! We would definitely return.

Liked: Check-in, location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Communication
We had a wonderful time! The house is very cute as well as the backyard. The only negative thing we would say is that a lot of the supplies were low or completely out. We messaged the host which did have them delivered however not very communicative in responding back. The hottub and grill were also not clean but the maintenance person came right away to take care of that. Overall we would give in between a 3 and 4 star rating.
Long weekend at Canyon Lake. Perfect house for family HQ.
We had six adults in for a long family weekend. The house is brand new and dead a great fit for our family as a central location for lots of activities in the area. House was well stocked with needed supplies and did not feel like a rental. We enjoyed it a lot (especially the backyard in the evenings).
We all had the best time ever, the house was clean, comfortable & accommodating, great for 6 adults who chose to stay in, eat, celebrate quietly away from busy world..host provided a book that had all details needed, many thanks..we would love to rent this house again asap!❤️
This place was exactly as advertised! I wanted a peaceful place to stay with a few of my family members and two of our dogs. It’s located on a quiet, wooded street “up the hill” a bit so it feels very secluded. But it’s actually just a 2-minute drive down the hill to everything - groceries, restaurants, gas stations, shops, etc.
There was plenty of room for us with three bedrooms and two couches (one being a pullout). The backyard was big and fenced in with a very tall privacy fence - a plus for us because we wanted our dogs to be safe and have room to romp.
The house was obviously newly built and freshly decorated - very cute design accents throughout. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking purposes.
We never got around to using the grill or the hot tub but both were immaculate and the hot tub looked clean and inviting.
The back patio and yard is great at night and perfect for having a fire in the fire pit. OR, since we were under a burn ban during our stay, we just enjoyed sitting in the giant Adirondack chairs under the string lights surrounded by auto-lit torches.
Upon arrival we found a very handy binder the owner put together that included all the information needed for our stay:
- Instructions on checking in/out
- How to use & where to find things in house
- Local places to eat, shop, etc
- Emergency info
Sunil (the owner) didn’t miss a single detail in this place! Even when I had a few questions, it was easy to contact Sunil and I got a response/answer right away.
If I’m back in the area, I would absolutely stay here again! THANK YOU!!
Immaculate new house in convenient location to all that hill country has to offer. The owners really did think about everything you could need to make the stay more enjoyable from toiletries to family board games. Very well stocked kitchen & utility. The attention to detail was just great. The house is decorated very well with comfortable & welcoming furniture which is what you want after a full day in the outdoors. Great enclosed back yard with fire pit, bbq and hot tub. Will definitely return.
Beautiful new home nicely decorated. Fun backyard! You equipped with everything we needed.
We had a great family trip in your beautiful home. Spring break is the perfect time to enjoy the hot tub and fire pit. Beds were comfortable. Our dog loved playing ball in the fenced backyard.

Glad you had great vacation at our place..Please come back to stay with us!
Great house for our weekend getaway. We booked this house and were so pleased with the “family feel” and cleanliness of the home. We felt right at home here and would definitely stay again. The owners attention to detail was definitely felt throughout the home. (I.e.- games in the living room, soft blankets in each room for cozying up, coffee and creamer in the kitchen, towelettes, q-tips. shampoo & body wash in the bathrooms, chairs by the fireside). We all felt right at home! We played games, drove to the lake, shopped, watched movies, sat outside by the fire, and gathered in the living room and kitchen areas together. . Would definitely recommend this home.
