Family& Pet friendly Lake Retreat w Pool+ hot tub 3BR sleeps 6 Canyon Lake, TX”

Sonny Hillside Hideaway has exceeded our expectations. Quiet, centrally located, and incredible views all throughout, made for a perfect Spring Break family getaway. The home itself was beautifully appointed, lovingly maintained and very roomy and inviting. The backyard areas (outside living area with tv, hot tub, and pool) were some of the highlights of our stay and helped to create great family memories. The beds were extremely comfortable, bathrooms (especially the rainfall showers) were a treat, and the kitchen made for fun family meals and entertaining. The hosts ( Angela & Brian ) were easy to communicate with and answered any and all questions. My family and I wholeheartedly recommend here for your next family adventure! Thanks!

My girl-group of mature ladies really enjoyed our stay at Sonny Hillside. The location was great for day trips to other hill country towns. Except for several steps in and around the house, the accomodations were great. The kitchen and bathrooms were filled with anything and everything you could possibly needed. It was also so cool to see the beautiful deer in the neighborhood. But above all this was the excellent communications with the host.

Great property

The house is in a great location. You can’t see the lake from the house but it is at the end of the neighborhood. It’s very close to Canyon Lake Gorge and National Bridge Caverns & Safari. The pool was clean and lots of fun. The house is very relaxing, comfy and well equipped. Shower pressure was great and there was plenty of towels. Beds were very comfortable as well. We enjoyed our stay.

The house was beautiful, well-stocked, the owners were very quick to respond to all messages! I definitely recommend staying here.

Very clean, had all the things we forgot for our trip, nice and quiet. Great peaceful weekend getaway and we got to give our dog a much needed bath! Will come back.

Our family of 4 had a great time at the Canyon Lake house. It was very spacious, clean and well appointed. We loved the outdoor space. It was quiet and peaceful. We woild definitely recommend it to anyone staying in the area!

The house is as depicted in photos. The owners are very responsive and have included thoughtful touches throughout the house, including fresh flowers, robes, snacks and wine basket waiting at check-in, etc. Everything you need to stay comfortably is on-site. We loved that the house is pet-friendly. We detected a bit of pet odor in the living room / primary bedroom on arrival as noted by another reviewer; we passed this information on and the owners were responsive to us. We get that that is one downfall of having / allowing pets and we didn’t dwell on it. Our four hot-tubbers initially enjoyed but then all had a skin reaction to the hot tub; again, we passed that info on so the owners could speak to their weekly pool / hot tub service to double-check chemical levels, etc. Overall, we enjoyed the Canyon Lake area and our group had a good time.

This property is delightfull. Everything we could ask for close to the lake without all the craziness of being on the lake. The home is cozy and has anything one could ask for. Hot tub, pool, grill and wood burning pizza oven. Peaceful Coffee in the morning on the porch with the deer. Deck in the evening to enjoy the stars and cool evening. Close to both Gruene and Whitewater made for fun outings for my daughters. Absolutely will return. And recommend to everyone who asks me about staying in the area!

Note: we booked this home with 24 hrs notice, so perhaps that’s why our experience was so diff from other reviews? Pros: Spacious home, plenty of bath linens. Quiet street, quiet neighbor. Deer, porch kitty, bats, birds. Hot tub. Fenced yard. Thoughtful touches and amenities. Easy to find. Cons: NOT “a few blocks” from the boat ramp. It is 1.7 MILES to the ramp. This was pretty misleading. Community pool is NOT for guests… prop owners are supposed to be with guests. Instructions said to “just say your with us.” We didn’t go, out of respect for other owners. Hate to say, but the home was dirty. I’m not a neat freak like my husband, but even my kids and I were grossed out. Housekeeping was still there, quickly finishing about 15 mins after check in. Even if she had more time to finish turnover housekeeping, a deep cleaning was much needed. Both shower non slip pads were filthy, to the point that removed them and cleaned the tubs as best I could. Any surface not part of “maintenance” cleaning was quite covered with pet and human hair, dust, and cobwebs. Many of the clean dishes in the cabs and drawers still had food residue (food, not water spots). When the cleaner smell and air fresheners faded, a noticeable pet urine smell lingered, strongest in the living room. While the advertised price was acceptable (esp on short notice), after fees etc, we did *not* feel we got what we paid for. Felt like we couldn’t really relax.
