Boasting unbelievable views and enviable proximity to Canyon Lake, this newly remodeled home offers an unbeatable Hill Country escape. Drive two minutes to the boat ramp or check out nearby beach parks to swim in the clear blue waters. For a day at the beach, travel five miles to Canyon Overlook Park or eight miles to Jacob's Creek Park. Guadalupe River is five miles away. Keep the fun in the sun going on the three-level deck at home! Hammocks provide a comfy vantage point from which you can enjoy 180-degree views of Texas beauty. Enjoy the abundance of nature and the many deer grazing nearby.

Inside, you’ll find plenty of plush furnishings, a modern kitchen, and a game room with a pool and air hockey. Recent upgrades include fresh paint, redesigned bedrooms, new lighting, and furniture.

The sunlit living area is furnished with two sofas and an armchair. Relax on quiet afternoons and stream shows on the 55-inch smart TV. Host a leisurely pool or air hockey tournament in the game room. The space also features a full-size bed with USB connections.

Stainless steel appliances and granite countertops bring a sleek aesthetic and high-end utility to the kitchen. Start vacation days with morning coffee at the kitchen bar for four. At mealtime, gather around the new table for six in the dining area.

This two-story home sleeps eight guests in three bedrooms, each bed is appointed with all-new linens and each room offers direct deck access. The primary bedroom boasts a bed and an en suite bathroom with a tub/shower combination. The second bedroom is furnished with two beds, while the third bedroom features a bed and a TV. The guest bathroom is configured with a tub/shower combination.

The three-level deck provides an abundance of space to play in the shade or soak up the sun! Ample deck lighting extends use of the outdoor space well into the evenings. The lower level includes two hammocks and a cornhole. Prepare tasty meals on the gas grill and dine alfresco at the table for eight. The best Hill Country views around are undoubtedly found on the upper level, spanning the entire length of the home. The upper deck is furnished with a hammock, a love seat, and bistro seating. A ceiling fan provides added comfort.

Great getaway near Canyon Lake

The home was clean and just as described. What a great place for a family gathering. It was close to the lake and had a beautiful deck, to enjoy the views of the hill country.

Family Visit

This property is full of beautiful views and plenty to do, even on rainy days. We were able to visit with family and relax. It is just 20 minutes from New Braunfels and within walking distance to Canyon Lake. Very peaceful neighborhood and comfortable home.

Family Getaway

Absolutely wonderful getaway for our family. The home had amazing views to start and end our days. Just enough privacy to feel like we were totally secluded and close enough to town if we needed anything. Would definitely recommend this place to friends

Beautiful Scenery

House is beautiful and so is the scenery. Furnishings was a bit disappointing. It was very cheap and falling apart or damaged. Recliner would fall back when you sat in it. Bedroom drawers couldn’t even be used because they fell apart. TV in downstairs bedroom didn’t work. Pool table electrical wiring cut in to. Supplies were lacking. 2 wash cloths for 4 people staying 4 nights. Only trash bag was in the trash can when we arrived. A used roll of napkins already on the roll was all the napkins. For a house that was supposed to be supplied it was not. This is why I gave 3 stars.

Great place

We have stayed at this house multiple times. Great place that is always clean and we like that it is centrally located. You can find many things to do in the small towns close by or the bigger cities like Austin or San Antonio. Good family place or couples get away.
