Canyon Lake, Texas
The house is very private and is great if you want to get away from it all but close to many other
water activities. The house is walking distance to the lake and horse trails. The home was recently
renovated with kitchen and living area, 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The yard is fenced in and is
large for boat parking and additional vehicles.
We are about 1 mile from Canyon Park, which is a wonderful lakeside park with a marina where you
can take a picnic and enjoy a family outing. There is a public boat ramp about 1 mile away (check lake
levels for ramp availability). Also, we are about 12 minutes great access to Guadalupe tubing down
the river.
There is a grocery store, pizza parlor, Italian Garden (great Italian food), Baja Icehouse and Grill (great sunset view) and Sweeties Bakery (one of our favorite spots for a kolache or breakfast tacos). And if
you find yourself missing the city life, drive about 30 minutes to historic New Braunfels or about 20
minutes to Gruene Hall, or take a drive into San Antonio for the day.
Numerous amenities, fully equipped kitchen, washer &
dryer on property (linens provided), parking for boat/trailer, wheel chair accessible.
Bedroom 1: Queen-size bed

Absolutely enjoyed our time at Scenic Retreat. It is so nice and quiet. Tracy was a wonderful host and even brought us some fresh yard eggs. Would definitely stay here again!
You feel at home the minute you walk through the door. Lots of outside sitting areas so we spent most nights out under the stars. The lights strung through the property just add to the ambience, and there is a fenced yard so our dogs weren’t stuck on leashes all weekend. Surrounding neighborhood is very quiet and seemed like every place we wanted to go was just around the corner. Temps were too hot for fishing but took a nice walk to the lake. If you need anything the owners are super sweet and really quick to respond. We will definitely stay again when we’re in this area.
We had a wonderful stay this weekend at this property!! The location is perfect. This is our second stay here and we will be back!
Really nice place to stay convenient drive to Gruene Hall
We stayed here for my birthday weekend. We had concert tickets at Whitewater Amphitheater and the commute was about 15 minutes. Location is great, tucked away in a small neighborhood but 5 minutes from town which was very convenient. Very pleased, would love to rent again.
The property listing says that it is very private. When we arrived, the property had another family in a trailer which was hooked up to the house for rental with no fence in between. If you visit with dogs, it is important to note that the trailer had its own gate, which was left open from time to time. You will have to be vigilant that the other gate for the other family is closed when you are in the yard with your dogs. Having the other family, and the gate that they left open was an issue with our dogs off leash in the private back yard. The host was notably inexperienced in the conventions expected of hosts. We have rented countless VRBO properties, and the ones we have rented consistently provided certain courtesy items (bath soap, and hair dryer, for example), just as you would expect from a hotel. When packing, I inquired about whether these items would be provided, and his answer was curt and dismissive. He ultimately provided these items, but only after a second conversation. This did not feel welcoming. Those things aside, it is a good property for the price point. On the upside, there is access to the lake available with the rental, down a private dirt road. Note that low ground clearance vehicles may have trouble navigating this road.
Don’t sleep on this rental! Tracy and his mom have this place very clean and comfortable. The pictures don’t do any justice to how the place looks. It’s very spacious yet cozy! The lake is close by as well as good food and a grocery store. If you are looking for a relaxing place, this is it! Tracy was very quick to reply to all your messages and recommended areas around here. Will definitely return.
Was amazing vacation. Great family time. The house was so clean and they had everything we might use or need. They even had board games and my 3 teenage boys played all of them. The owner was amazing took us fishing and told us places to shop and go. Can't wait till we visit again. Loved it.
We enjoyed staying at the Canyon Lake cabin. The location was perfect for us - close to the lake and close to South Austin. We enjoyed sitting outside on the patio and eating dinner in the lovely dining room/kitchen area. Everything we need was there and we also appreciated the attention to detail the owners gave us with answering all of our questions. Our best afternoon was when we got to go and sit by the lake using the trial close to the house. Great place to stay! Highly recommend it!
