The outdoor firepit with string lights in the trees and the large porch with ample seating really makes this place a relaxing retreat! The very well-equipped kitchen was very appreciated. NIce guest touches throughout the home made it very cozy and comfortable. The location was perfect for access to Canyon Lake Marina and many restaurants. Enjoyed our stay!

We had a family weekend and this house was great! They thought of everything. Plenty of dishes & glassware, fans, and plenty of blankets.
Looking forward to booking an again when it’s a little cooler, so we use the fire pit.

Hands down the best house we have ever rented in Canyon Lake. We loved all of the outdoor areas to hangout after spending the day on the lake. The kitchen was spacious which allowed for plenty of room for everyone to help prepare dinner faster. Beds were extremely comfortable. We will not book anywhere else for our yearly summer vacations to Canyon Lake.

From the owner: "Thank you for this glowing review!! You were excellent guests, and I look forward to hosting you again soon!"
The house was very clean, large kitchen and a good size for the 7 of us. The weather was too hot for us to enjoy all the outside areas of the house and the fire pit. The house is very close to Canyon Lake Park. We made good use of the gas grill.
The only issue was the first communication stated that an alarm code would be sent, but I did not receive it and was not sure if the alarm would be on when we arrived. I did sent an email to the provided email address a day before the trip with no response. I finally called the number provided the day of the trip and received a call back. Overall a very nice place and would come back again.

From the owner: "I am so glad you enjoyed your stay! You'll have to visit again in the fall to enjoy all the home amenities. The alarm wasn't set because it was a quick turnaround, and the staff had just left earlier that day. I reach out to all guests before checking in, so please double-check your cell number before booking (sometimes, the profiles have old or non-working cell phone numbers). Thank you for this review, and I look forward to hosting you again."
We had a wonderful experience at this home. The house was beautiful, clean and well maintained. The attention to detail was very impressive. The rooms were well sized and the gathering areas were perfect for our group size. The outside areas provided hours of peaceful and happy vibes. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice escape and hope to stay here again soon.

Home was PERFECT for our 2 families. (Two families of 4) Very clean, beds were comfortable-best part was kitchen! Lots of room to cook and all hang out together. Fire pit outside was even better than pictured. One of the best properties I’ve stayed out.

Great place to stay Inside house looks new and modern.. Everything in house and outside was clean and fresh. All things needed were in house for daily living and relaxing. even extra things provided towels for hot tub some snacks & condiments. Outside deck good for relaxing and watching daily wildlife, deer, roadrunners, birds. Great one week get away.

This property is very spacious! The fire pit area is well done with a nice clearing in a cedar thicket. The house was fully equipped; we didn’t have to worry about anything. The fire pit area felt like you were in a different place, yet steps away. The kids enjoyed playing in the rocks and picking up sticks in the small wooded area. We saw dove, an owl and a rabbit. The location is central to many attractions, state parks, etc. We enjoyed this place very much.

Our family vacation here was amazing! The house is beyond beautiful and has everything you could possibly need. My family and I had a great time. The kids enjoyed making s’mores at the bomb fire. The set up around the home outside is beautiful..this get away was everything my family and I needed. The Streit family was very welcoming & kind and very attentive to whatever we needed. This home was very cozy and relaxing. Definitely would love to go back anytime!
