Beautiful view and serene location. They really don’t sell the serenity of the property highly enough. While we were there for a work retreat, it was a wonderful experience. Hosts were very communicative and helpful.
We absolutely loved our stay here. The house is perfect for families of all ages. It is a great spot for a family-oriented getaway. It is peaceful, safe and surrounded by nature with lots of wildlife. The kids enjoyed feeding the goats and donkeys, in addition to playing on the playground equipment. Very beautiful view on the balcony overlooking the property and lake in the background. We even caught a few fish in the pond.Our host, Jill, was amazing. We will definitely come back.

What a beautiful guest review!
I enjoyed having you, your family and your guests for the July 4th holiday weekend.
I wish the weather would have been a little bit more cooperative, but we have no control. Please keep us in mind for future visits to Canyon Lake.

Jill and the farm
This is an amazing home that is exactly as advertised. We love it so much this was a return visit for our family. We had a much needed extended Memorial Day vacation for our busy family of six.
Awesome house, property & host. We had a blast!
The house was exceptionally clean. The gentle slope to the water worked out great for our jet skis & boat!
The property was excellent. A lot of amenities for all ages. Looking forward to going back soon. Thanks Jill for making our stay enjoyable.

Mike,
It was a pleasure having you and your family stay at our family vacation home.
I am so happy that it met all of your expectations and hope you keep us in mind on your next visit to Canyon Lake.
Stay well,
Jill
We could not recommend this property more. Incredible value, scenery, house, property lake and animals! The only thing better than the attention to detail and guest comfort was the friendliness and hospitality of the owner and her family. Great family getaway!
We had the best stay at Jill’s property. The house and lake was beautiful! We enjoyed paddle boarding on the lake, running, biking, and walking the trails, and feeding the goats! Jill was wonderful and checked in on us, but also gave us our space. The whole family really enjoyed this vacation and we will definitely be back!

Our family created some great memories on our stay! The host was more than accommodating. This was a great place to have the gender reveal for our first Grandchild. IT's A GIRL!!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The property was beautiful and the house very comfortable. It was well stocked and very clean. The owner made us feel very welcome and answered all our questions before and during our stay. Our three year old loved exploring the lake, feeding the goats, and playing on the playset. It exceeded our expectations and is the best VRBO experience we have experienced. We will definitely be back!

Ashley,
It was a joy having you and your family here for the week. I wish the weather would have cooperated a little more, but it sounds like there were plenty of places to go and things to do, even in the rain.
We look forward to your return trip!

Great Lake Property for any Occasion
The house comfortably slept 10 and has ample entertainment areas. The back deck is great for evening entertainment and the wildlife in the area is everywhere. The property is right across the cove from the marina and made a boat day very convenient. I would recommend the property for any group looking at Canyon Lake.

About the host
Hosted by Jill Cunningham-Baker
Originally from Houston, my family and I moved to Austin in 1980. After our children graduated from Lake Travis High School, we decided that a move to the country was in order. So in 2000, we built our home on Canyon Lake and by 2001, were full time residents. Once settled in, I began to adopt farm animals and from there it has grown by leaps and bounds. Who would think that a city girl would become a farm girl?
Why they chose this property
"El Rancho Regenia" was originally built as my parents retirement home in the mid-80's. After my parents were gone, I was fortunate enough to purchase this beautiful property, that meant so much to them, and expand the farm. From the time it was constructed, our family and friends have enjoyed this very special place on Canyon Lake. "El Rancho Regenia" holds many precious memories of when our children were young and the times we spent here. We are now making many new memories with our own grandchildren in this very special place.
One of my greatest joys is the ability to share "El Rancho Regenia" with wonderful families who want to experience a little bit of the country life while enjoying the company of family and friends. My hope is that this will continue for many years to come...
