Take a load off with the vast amount of sitting space or take in a game of pool all in one roomy yet intimate area.

Just beyond the living area, you'll find the dining area and kitchen. The kitchen is a wonderful dream, complete with top-of-the-line appliances, all of the cooking essentials, plenty of space, and a wine fridge! Want to take your meal and drinks outside? Head out the two french doors into the sunroom where you can enjoy the relaxing views of the lake. The sunroom might just become your new favorite place. With its comfortable sitting spots and beautiful views, this stunning sanctuary will be hard to leave! The main level is where you'll also find a full washer and dryer.
But there are still two more floors to explore!

Head upstairs to find a gorgeous private bedroom complete with a fireplace and sitting area, ideal for anyone looking for some quiet time on their vacation. The bathroom is immaculate with a standing shower that should be on every homeowner's wish list. Want to take a relaxing bath? A beautiful tub sits next to the shower. You won't run out of space on this bathroom counter as it spans the entire length of the wall! And the walk-in closet could be its own room! There's also a small office but you're on vacation so try not to use it too much! A small deck is right outside the double doors and is ideal for your morning cup of joe.

The lower level is where you'll find two additional bedrooms and another sitting area. It's also where you'll find the second sunroom. Sunroom number two is located right outside the double doors and it's pure bliss. You'll find cozy patio furniture as well as a gas grill - the perfect summer spot! Need a little sun? Head out the double doors and take in some vitamin D on the stunning patio deck!

Spacious and Lovely

Our party of 9 had a wonderful stay in this huge house! The managing folk were prompt and courteous in all their communication with us, and the back porch made a perfect eclipse-viewing platform! :)

Perfect Labor Day get away!

Spent 4 days at this amazing property. It’s very clean and super spacious. The teens enjoyed the garage apartment and the fold out couch was a bonus! The main house has so much room and our party of 9 felt right at home and everyone had a great amount of private space. The lake is low but it didnt hinder our fun. The views are gorgeous and we loved all the outdoor spaces. We will definitely be back!

Short Summer Trip

The property was beautiful and clean. So many rooms and a pool table on the main floor. The apartment next to the house was nice as well, but the Queen bed was uncomfortable and hard. The rest of the rooms and beds was very comfortable. The boat ramp was directly around the corner. Great property! Will stay there again!

BOOK THIS HOUSE!!

My husband and I booked this house with our grown kids and their friends ranging from 18 years old to 30 years old. There were eight of us total and this house was absolutely perfect! We had plenty of space to spread out and enjoy our time without even touching the garage apartment. We cooked almost every meal at home and spend way too many hours on the pool table. We loved seeing all of the deer in the neighborhood and watching the boats from the many balconies.

Pretty views, hard to sleep 11

We had a great time staying at the property with friends and family. The views are beautiful. We did not have Wifi upon arrival and called the next day to get it working, stayed on the phone with someone who walked us around the house for over 15 minutes or longer with no luck. We left for the day and when we got back the Wi-fi was working. There were no wash cloths in the master and limited everywhere else in the house, we requested more but did not receive them. We had two families of 4, so we had plenty of room, but in order to fit 11 I believe two people would have to sleep on couches? The property is beautiful and we enjoyed our time.

Amazing vacation house!

The Great Escape is really an amazing place. we were looking a house closer to San Antonio and found this on VRBO, never expected such a beautiful location. Very spacious three story house. 2 days was not enough to explore this location. backyard and lake view is fantastic! Three beautiful balconies, Don't miss the sunrise with a cup of coffee from balcony. One bedroom apartment on top of the garage is completely private and fully equipped. This house will never disappoint your dream vacation plans.

The Great Escape at Canyon Lake!

Beautiful home! The lake is gorgeous! The views from the three patio/decks are spectacular! Checking in was easy! And we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! I wish the WiFi was stronger, the built in ice maker worked, there were throw blankets to use, a portacrib was available and a larger trash can in the master bath. We would definitely book again.

Beautiful home

Great Escape is a perfect title for this house. We stayed for a week and enjoyed the beautiful views of Canyon Lake. The house is really beautiful and it has a lot of sitting area to enjoy the views. There’s space to spend together as a family and plenty of space to spread out.
