House One features three bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms, offering a warm and inviting layout with a grand family room, shuffleboard, stone fireplace, and a fully appointed kitchen with granite countertops and a large island for meals and conversation. The bedrooms include a luxurious king suite with ensuite bathroom, a second king bedroom, and a third bedroom with a queen bed and bunk beds connected via a Jack-and-Jill bath.
House Two includes three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, mirroring the comfort and style of the first. The master suite offers a king bed and private ensuite, while the second king bedroom and a third room with a queen bed and bunk beds complete the space. The open-concept living area connects to a beautifully finished kitchen with granite counters and rich cabinetry, perfect for relaxed group meals or late-night snacks.
Outside, the property truly shines with a resort-like atmosphere. Relax by the private pool, soak in the hot tub, or enjoy meals outdoors while surrounded by nature. A fire pit at House Two sets the scene for cozy evenings and s’mores. Guests often spot deer wandering at dusk, adding to the sense of peace and seclusion.
Don’t miss the signature swing mural — a photo-worthy favorite that brings guests joy and unforgettable memories. Many guests capture their moment and tag #SwingingIntoCanyonLake to join the tradition.
This retreat is ideal for family reunions, bridal parties, or anyone seeking a restful and celebratory stay close to Canyon Lake’s natural beauty. With thoughtful touches throughout and plenty of room to gather or retreat, your time here will be easy, fun, and full of connection.

We really enjoyed our stay - the houses were clean and inviting. The back yards are spacious and we really enjoyed the use of the hot tub (it was a little to chilly to use the pool but next time we will!) We loved the fact that the bedrooms all had king size beds and there was ample space to accommodate our large group. Will definitely stay there again!

We can’t thank you enough for the kind words about Canyon Lake Retreat. Your review means a lot to us and we cant wait to host you again!
We had our immediate family annual retreat. It was perfect for all the varying ages. The furnishings were very comfortable and accommodating. Quiet and private premises. Convenient to lake and grocery store. Enjoyed our stay completely.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us this amazing review.
We had the best time, both houses were perfect to fit our large group and it was as if we were all under the same roof. The pool and hot tub were clean and very refreshing. Location was perfect for us to hit all the spots, float the river and attend a concert. Check in/out was a breeze and communication with the property manager was great.

We appreciate your kind words very much! We hope you will return and we get to host you again in the future!
Enjoyed the home. We had a group of 18 and it was perfect for what we needed. Only issue we had was a noise complaint 2 hours after arriving from the neighbors (small jbl speaker on back deck while we swam wasn't even dark outside yet). Overall very nice homes would definitely stay again.

We are a family of 13 ranging in age from 4 to 89. The property was as described. The pool was perfect for entertaining the children. House well supplied as described. House very clean. Most of all enjoyed the firepit and ajoining backyards. You will not be disappointed.

It’s wonderful to hear you had a relaxing getaway. We’d love to host you again!
Very clean houses and perfect for our summer vation with a large group! Check in process was easy. We shorted out a breaker and was told how to remedy that easily. Pool was great to come home to for kids and adults after long days at the river. Would definitely book again!

Overall the property was nice. Close to lake and has use of pool and hot tub. Strict check in and check out time. If you want early check in or check out have to pay $100 extra. Tried to contact property sunday morning prior to check out to see if can extend until 12pm but didn’t get a response.

Thank you so much for sharing your feedback and we are happy to hear you enjoyed the property! The reason for the strict check in/check out times is because this is a very large property and takes our cleaning and maintenance staff a lot of time to get it cleaned and prepared for the next renters. Your reservation took place during Spring Break which is one of the business weeks of the year. On occasions where there is a tight turnaround time between two reservations, we may have to bring in an additional cleaning person in order to be able to allow an early check in or late checkout, so that is the reason why there may be a fee applied to accommodate that request. You did send us a text message on Sunday morning to extend your check out but unfortunately it was such short notice that our cleaning and mainteance staff were already scheduled to arrive shortly and we were not able to rearrange their schedules at that point. We are very sorry we were not able to accommodate that last minute request for you, but we hope you will stay with us again and we would love to have another opportunity to hopefully accommodate an early check-in or late check out for you!
Tons of space, Great location & amenities - Great Stay!!
This vacation rental was better than we could have imagined! Not only did it sleep 18, have a pool and jacuzzi, and offer convenient access to nearby Texas wineries, but it's actually two homes conveniently side by side.
We had tons of space for our entire group with two fully equipped kitchens, two living areas, and plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms to go around. It also had two spacious backyards to hang out in with an adjoining gate, making it quick and easy to walk from one house to the other.
Of course, the fire pit, pool and jacuzzi areas were real highlights. These were our favorite places to relax and unwind together after a day of exploring the nearby Texas wineries or a day full of lake activities.
This property had everything we could have wanted for a great time with family and friends. Whether you're planning a family reunion, a weekend getaway with friends, or celebrating a wedding, we highly recommend it for a great time with a group.
We had so much fun and everything went really smoothly. Overall, it was great stay. Again, if you're looking for a vacation rental thats super clean, offers plenty of space, amazing amenities, and convenient access to nearby Texas wineries, Canyon Lake, or wedding destinations, then this property is an excellent choice. We'd definitely book it again!
Communication with property management was poor.
We were provided two different codes upon checking; one was wrong and the another was correct.
Around 4pm we reported the living room TV was not working. No call back or assistance was provided. The following day a guest was able to reset the modem and TV which we reported back to management.
Subsequently we reported not having any trash bags. Again there was no call back or follow up for the duration of our stay. We went to the second home to retrieve a supply of bags.
The two houses were very nice and clean. Despite the hiccups, we all had a great time and enjoyed both properties, inside and outside.

I am so sorry for any confusion that you experienced during your arrival. The cleaning lady was leaving the property when you were arriving, and she has a different code that what guests are provided for their stay. She was trying to be helpful and show you how to unlock the door and she used her cleaning code which is what caused the confusion. However the cleaning lady did let us know that she explained this to you and told you that you would be receiving a difference code from us. She was not trying to cause you any confusion and was genuinely just trying to lend a helping hand. We did receive a message from you that you needed help with the TV, however then you called us back and said someone in the group had figured it out and you no longer needed help with it. So I apologize as it appears that we must have misunderstood that situation and you were in fact still needing assistance with the TV. We appreciate your feedback and sincerely apologize for the minor hiccups you encountered. We would love the opportunity to make your next stay even better.

Nice Homes, Rough Experience
The homes themselves are very nice and well furnished. There were quite a few problems upon closer inspection, though. When we first arrived we were given the check-in codes almost 10 minutes late. Then we noticed that a window was broken and covered with tape instead of properly fixed. There was a broken wine glass in a bottom cabinet that one of the young children found.
To make matters worse, every child that got in the pool (and ONLY the ones that got in the pool) developed a chemical burn. To their credit, the management came to the house within an hour or two and checked the PH and chlorine levels in the pool, but upon finding nothing wrong with those two things decided that it didn't have anything to do with their pool without offering even a hollow apology.

I am sincerely sorry that you felt your stay was not satisfactory. We strive very hard to provide all of our guests with a 5 star service I am truly sorry we fell short of that. The access codes are generated directly from our reservation software and are sent out automatically at 3:59pm for all check-ins. You are correct that there was a crack in one of the windows. The windows are double-pane windows and it was the exterior pane that was damaged - the lawn guys accidentally flung a rock into the window with the mower while cutting the grass. We taped it up to prevent the window from shattering more. We contacted a glass company who came out and measured the glass and then ordered the replacement piece for us. Unfortunately it takes several weeks for the new glass to come in once it is ordered, so we were aware and were fixing it properly, it is just a repair that takes a little bit of time. I am genuinely sorry if that hindered your experience. I personally talked with several of the members in your reservation about the pool throughout your stay. We sent someone out to test the chemicals in the water immediately after you reported a concern. We tested the water in front of you and showed you the results - all of the chemicals were reading exactly where they should be. It should also be mentioned that you told us that all of the adults and children swam in the pool the day that you arrived and no one had any issues after being in the pool. Then the second day, you reported only the children having a skin irritation. As I thoroughly explained to you, if the chemicals were wrong/high/low, it would not have only affected the children's skin in the group. I was on the phone with one of the women in your group for over 45 minutes Saturday afternoon discussing this situation to which I agreed - the kids definitely got into something that upset their skin. You also told us the kids skin irritation was only on their "hot spots" and a chemical burn would not target specific areas of the body - it would affect the skin all over. I am absolutely confident the issue was not a chemical burn from the pool - we affirmatively ruled that out and provided you proof of that. I discussed several other things that could have potentially happened that caused this irritation with one of the women and during that conversation I expressed empathy and sincere apologies repeatedly. I am honestly taken-aback to ready that you felt there was no apology from our end because that is not even remotely truthful. I am extremely sorry that the kids developed a skin irritation during your stay, and it could have possibly been from heat rash, some kind of plant, the detergent, etc. But it was not caused by the swimming pool.

Should have been a great stay!
Houses were as described and clean and nice… Dishes has leftover food in them that were in the cabinets…took pictures because there were so many dirty.. Housekeeping issue. Beds were all comfy, pool was nice… but on the 1st day, we had a water leak outside with sprinklers… my son in law is a Water Dept Supr. so he tracked it, and turned water off so we had pressure inside for showers… also 1st day.. master bath toilet has a leak and so we turned it off.. called and text for 4 days… twice they told us the plumber was coming, once that they were 1 - 2 hours out… no one every showed. Same with the washing machine that did not work in one of the houses… we did a fix ourselves the 3rd day since no updates given after twice saying someone was coming… last 2 days, we heard nothing, and no responses to text or emails…I stay at VRBO’s about 10 times each year with family and extended family…never been just ignored.. Made the decision due to low water pressure, no master toilet, and the washer not working 1st 3 days to leave a full day early.. For the cost I expected better responsiveness, and a kindness that we helped with their outside leak. Would not stay again…1st time in 10 years of using VRBO that I am saying this… I give great reviews always… but while the homes are lovely, and convenient to things to do… the management company is inadequate and unresponsive. Responding to texts saying one thing and nothing happening is unresponsive.
