You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

WHAT A VIEW! Rare true waterfront home.

WHAT A VIEW! Welcome to our lakefront home in the Texas Hill Country. Perfect for families to make lasting memories, you'll be in awe of the views from every room of this home.
You'll enter to an open floor plan with a beautiful kitchen, living and dining space, full width balcony including outdoor dining and bbq grill, and primary suite with a comfortable king bed and full bathroom.
Down one level, you'll find a sitting area, jack & jill bathroom between 2 bedrooms (one with a king bed and one with a queen bed) and each with their own private balconies, and a laundry room.
The bottom level is a huge bunk room with 2 built-in twin over double bunks and a living area with a pullout queen sofa bed. This level opens up to an expansive wood deck with propane fire pit and plenty of room to play corn hole, or just spend time enjoying the sunshine and lake views.

Canyon Lake is an incredibly beautiful 8200 acre lake with turquoise-blue clear water that is perfect for water sports, fishing, kayaking, scuba and swimming. You'll be an hour from both San Antonio and Austin, and there are wineries, distilleries, and natural caverns in the area to tour as well. We'd love to share this beautiful home with you!

BEDS:
Bedroom 1 (Main/top Level): King bed
Bedroom 2 (Middle Level): King bed w/direct access to Jack & Jill bathroom
Bedroom 3 (Middle Level): Queen bed across hall from other side of Jack & Jill bathroom
Bunkroom (Bottom Level): Queen memory foam pullout sofa, 2 Twins & 2 Full-size (built-in bunks)

Please note: Canyon Lake shoreline access is via 170 stone steps from the back deck. Expect a bit of a workout with a 3-5 minute trek, but it's totally worth it. If you have knee or balance problems, you might consider walking the shoreline from boat ramp 1 to meet your group at our beach.

My family had great stay over new year's week! The house has everything you need and pet friendly. It was well maintained and clean. The location right off the lake provides beautiful views. It was spacious enough for our group with the primary bedroom and bathroom on the main floor and two guest bedrooms with a jack-in-jill bathroom a level down. The bunk room on the bottom level was so nicely designed with steps to the top bunks. The host was available when needed and responded quickly.

Everything from the host to the location and beyond! Beautiful property with magnificent views of the lake from every room! We meet up with our kids for a short intimate vaca every year & it was perfect. We all took turns cooking breakfast in the spacious well stocked kitchen with ample, well maintained supplies! The house was super clean & that’s the way we left it. It is every thing you dream of in a vacation rental! Thank you!

Best view on the lake.

Great house with amazing views from every room!! The kitchen is beautiful and well equipped with everything you’d need; even a lovely patio table right off the kitchen to have your morning coffee looking out at the calm quiet lake (my fav). Bedrooms are lovely and comfortable. The bunk room is very cool for the kids. Thoroughly enjoyed Corn hole and the fire pit on the big lower deck. There is a steep path of stone stairs down to a little beach, where we spent hours just floating around. Going down is not too bad but coming back up is quite a climb. We loved our stay here and will be back soon.

Birthday Celebration Family Trip

This property is beautiful. As soon as you walk into the home you are hit with the amazing lake views. There was 14 of us and we had plenty of space to move around and do fun activities. The trail to the lake was a little intense especially when coming back up but its doable. Water shoes or comfortable shoes (no flip flops) are a must if going down to the lake because the path is a little rough. . We will book this property again in a heart beat. Communicating with host was super easy and a fast response was provided every single time. Hope to come back soon!

Labor Day vacation!

We enjoyed every minute of our time at the lake house! The views are stunning from every level of the house. Our group consisted of grandparents, adults and children as young as 5 months. Every detail has been thought of. As the parent of a toddler I very much appreciated the baby gates that were on hand at the house. They also included a pack n play and high chair. We had plenty of room for everyone. We loved the beach access. The most challenging part was the stairs down/ up while juggling children but it’s definitely achievable. Even the grandparents joined us on the journey. We ran into a few minor issues with the house but Michele and Danny were very helpful even though it was a holiday. A handyman was sent over immediately to remedy the issue. We will definitely be returning next year! Thank you guys for sharing your home with our family!!

Annual family vacation.

We had our annual family vacation at this property on Canyon Lake. The house was great and was perfect for our family of 10. The view of the lake is amazing and is what sold us on this location. The walk to and from the lake takes a little bit of work but it can be done. We had a great time and will definitely be back.

This home is absolutely amazing. It has arguably the best view of any lake I’ve been on in Texas. Reservation, check in, check out couldn’t have been better. Everything about this home is first class. Having water access is such a positive. We will be back!!

This vacation rental was fabulous! Views were incredible. Beds were comfortable and cozy. Walk down to the lake was not easy but definitely not challenging; walk back up to the house was a bit of a work out, but not outside of normal. Kids had a good time. Would definitely stay at this house again!

Incredible home with incredible views!!!!

This house was magnificent!! The views from every room were spectacular! No one wanted to leave at the end. We had 6 adults ages 42-54 and our adult kids ages 19-27. None of our adult kids wanted to double up so one of them slept on the sofa on the main floor. There were extra sheets available in the laundry room for that. The balconies were perfect and clean for sitting out and enjoying the beautiful sunsets. Not everyone keeps a clean outdoor space, they usually focus on the inside. So that was awesome! The bottom deck is huge for things like playing cornhole but we never got around to it. The lake kept calling to us so we stayed there all day. The walk down definitely requires shoes and not flip flops. None of the other homes that we were looking at had access to the lake so this was wonderful. The kitchen had plenty of room and was stocked with all the things you use daily when at home. Our hosts really thought of everything to make our stay enjoyable. Each of us had friends asking for the listing after seeing our pictures from our trip. 5 STARS all the way!!

Magical Wedding Weekend

Our stay on Larson Road was nothing short of perfect. We booked the house for the groom's wedding party and it was exactly what they/we needed. They enjoyed the deck, space and the lake access. My husband and I enjoyed cooking for the group and sleeping on a totally different level than the guys. The owners were quick to respond when questions arose. The rehearsal dinner in Wimberley and the wedding at The Preserve went off without a hitch to make for a perfect weekend stay. We do hope to stay again in the future and enjoy the breathtaking lake views morning thru night. We also got to celebrate our 30th Anniversary during our stay. You will wake to the singing of birds each morning. Definitely a perfect place to stay at Canyon Lake. You will have everything you will need for a great vacation stay. Thanks again for making our special weekend spectacular!

Pictures don’t do it justice!

The views are amazing!! The house impeccable, possibly the cleanest rental I’ve ever been in (and I consider myself a clean freak). The steps that go down to the lake can be a lot to handle. I would say if you’re out of shape, you’ll have to take a few breaks coming up those stairs, but they’re worth every sweat drop and sore muscle because the views are just wonderful! The house has everything you’ll need, even books and board games. Fully stocked kitchen and plenty of toilet paper. Depending on the size of your group you might need extra trash bags and paper towels, but other than that the house has everything! We brought our boat and jet ski and had so much fun on the water. As a suggestion from the property owners we rented a temporary spot at a storage place nearby for the boat and ski, we didn’t have any problems. Thank you for sharing your home! We’ll definitely be coming back!

Great trip

The house was great, with beautiful views overlooking the lake. There was easy access to the lake itself, and although the steps look intimidating at first they were easily handled by everyone (adults in their 40's and pre-teen kids). Lots of space for everyone and great bunk beds on the lower level. All in all a great location and I would highly recommend.
