    A Deerly Beloved Getaway 🦌If you're looking for a clean, comfy place to unwind with your family and pup and make some new four-legged forest friends, this is the spot. The house itself was clean and cozy—like staying at a friend's house, if your friend is extremely tidy and has a contemporary kind of style. The best part? Deer. Everywhere. Morning coffee on the porch turned into a daily episode of National Geographic And just when we thought it couldn't get better, we found a bin of deer food provided by the hosts—basically turning my girls into Disney princesses for the weekend. Although we did not enjoy the fire pit, it also looked like a great place to have a glass of wine and become a deer whisperer. 10/10 would come back—next time with more time to relax and less shame about how many deer selfies I took. 🦌

    We all enjoyed our stay at the house. It was plenty of room for the five of us. The house had everything we needed and more with plenty of thoughtful touches. The balconies all had good views, especially the ones upstairs. The neighborhood was nice as well and we walked around it most mornings and evenings. You could walk down to the boat ramp and the water fairly quickly for drive even faster when it was too hot.

    This was our first VRBO experience. Listing was exactly what we showed up to. Communication & information was excellent. Super clean, no issues, & it had everything you needed. Overall great experience & a place to relax and unwind. We were especially appreciative that it was very clean. Just a comfortable place. Thanks!

    Very nice property in the Texas Hill Country with obstructed, but still nice views of Canyon Lake. Location is essentially midway between San Antonio and Austen, and a great jumping off place for trips to Gruene, Fredrickburg, etc.. Also, if you don't want to go far, very good pizza (Elio's) and bakery only a couple of miles down the hill. Furniture was comfortable and clean, and a family of 6 deer came to visit at the back yard. Master bedroom is on main floor, although there are a couple of steps up into the house, and the living room is sunken a step from the kitchen/master bedroom level, so while it is minimal steps, it is not (nor was it advertised as such) handicapped accessible. Love the plug for the electrc car as well (bring own charging cable). If you are bringing a boat, there is room to park it in front of the house, but you might want to check with the lake authorities. While we were there, the level was low enough that the closest boat ramp was closed, although I did see some boats out there, so there must be alternative entry points. We came for the 2024 eclipse, and the host was very thoughtful with a gift basket of eclipse themed snacks as well as eclipse glasses. Good communication throughout. We hope to be back.

    The place is beautiful and centrally located with easy access to great restaurants and lake in the area. Marisol is a wonderful host making sure we had everything we needed and helped us with our special accommodations. We will definitely be returning next summer, do not pass up on this property!

    Great location to all the things we were interested in doing. Tons of deer, although they were spooked easily. The neighbors were able to feed and call them in. We loved going by the dam, but not huge fans of swim beach 1 because it was very rough and $20 per car and could not come and go. But over all, the house was great. It has an obstructed view of the lake, but still nice.
