This is a true gem! The views of the lake from the property are amazingly stunning. The fenced in yard was perfect for the dogs to run around and stretch their legs. It was very comfortable, spotless and had all the conveniences available (the washer and dryer were a huge plus!). Contact with the owners was special; they took the time to give us every little detail about the property and the surroundings. The neighbors are like a family; we got invited to a Louisiana type boil and the whole neghborhood was there having a good time.

Great little place with water acess!

Perfect little house with great outdoor space upstairs and downstairs to enjoy the water views. There are lots of houses with great views in canyon lake, but this has direct access to the water, which is amazing. They allows pets and made the place a perfect weekend getaway for a family with a dog. Communication was great with both owners on check in and out. We would definitely stay here again.

Patty and Craig's lake house was the perfect place for a long weekend with 2 grown sons and 2 dogs. There was plenty of room for everyone in the house, a fenced in yard for the dogs, and a short hike to the lake where we spent most every morning and late afternoon. The balcony is the perfect place for breakfast as well as watching the beautiful sunsets. We'll definitely be coming back!

Lakeside stay

Patty was an amazing host. She checked on us multiple times during our stay and was always available if we had any questions. The house was great for watching the sunset over the lake. It was conveniently located and the deer were a treat to see each day. Getting down to the water was a bit tricky with the lake still being low but we figured it out and my dog had so much fun getting to swim and fetch every day!

Great house on the water

My family and I vacationed in Canyon Lake and we stayed at the Water's edge. As it's name denotes, it's actually on the water's edge. The house is comfortable. It's a medium sized house on stilts with a large stone patio underneath it that is filled with chairs and tables. We very much enjoyed "hanging out" on the patio. Nice house, great location, and wonderful hosts that honored our privacy. FIVE STAR ALL THE WAY!!!

Awesome times at the lake!!

This is an excellent property to spend some time away from the city and enjoy the amenities of Canyon Lake. It is a quick walk down the hill to the lake; perfect area to just hang out and have a few cold drinks. The home is very cozy and the beds are super confortable (not necessarily the case on short-term rentals). Everything is included from a BBQ grill, towels, bed sheets and even a crockpot!! ; tons of stuff you don't have to bring with you. Furthermore, if you want to rent a jet ski or a boat, the house it's only about 10 minutes from the local marina; in my book that's a MUST to fully enjoy the lake. Long story short, this is an awesome lake house. Also, Patty and Craig are excellent owners and really take care of their clients!

About the host

Hosted by Patty Hardy

Host profile image
As a husband and wife team, Craig and I do our best to make your stay at Canyon Lake as relaxing as possible. I have been coming to Canyon Lake all my life, since I was born in 1967 as my father worked there before the lake was a lake! Some of my most fond memories are of my siblings and me with my parents, having picnics on the shore, and eventually bringing our own children to the lake for holidays. Craig and I have shared many memories on the lake since we met in 1989, and we hope to bring that same joy to you!

As parents of six great kids (ages 19-29), we try to keep our lake homes as "kid friendly" as possible. 29 years of raising children has made us experts at rolling with the punches, and we are always here to assist your stay in any way! We are happy to answer all of your questions about our lake house and the area. I hope you'll contact us today.

Why they chose this property

Canyon Lake is the perfect location! The lake itself offers many opportunities for having fun, and it is conveniently located with New Braunfels, Austin and San Antonio closeby.

What makes this property unique

If you love an absolutely beautiful sunset, The Red House on Canyon Lake is the home for you. Our deck has the most incredible view of the sun setting on Canyon Lake every evening.
