Nice Place but Lake Access Limited
The property was very nice and very clean. They had many extras and were very accommodating! Our only complaint was the lake level, which they can’t control. This made it difficult to get into the lake from the property to swim at the bank. They do help by providing kayaks for guests! Just keep that in mind if you’re looking for the beach style access we were looking for as well. Other than that it was a great stay! Would go again once the lake level is back up!

Great Lake access property
We had a fabulous trip, it is right at the lake. Very clean and has so many extras. The view is amazing. Sunset is worth taking pictures. We have stayed in several places in Canyon Lake but never on the Lake. We will always choose on the Lake from here on out. Hoping this place is available for our next trip.

Great view
Everything was great for our stay. Communication was good when we needed stuff. The only downside is the lake levels are so low you aren’t able to swim/fish from the house. There are some other local areas to swim. Canyon park and overlook park.

Solar eclipse on the lake
Gorgeous views and great kayaking. The owner called back promptly when we had a questions. There were two kayaks on the property for our use. As a note the 3rd bedroom/game room is accessed by going out on deck and up a flight of stairs. It was great for our teens, but I would have not liked that for younger kids. Also it is a long steep hike back up from the lake after an afternoon of kayaking. If you have mobility issues take a good look at the stairs in the back yard. My only complaint is it was overcast for the eclipse.

Great mini vacation on the lake
Loved staying at this cozy lake house, beds comfy, kids loved running on the big property. Lake was low which was the only down fall. But the house, game room and over all stay was terrific. We would stay at this place again. Also LOVED las barcas mexican near by, delicious!

GREAT VIEW OF LAKE! VERY RELAXING!
Views of lake are excellent! Abundance of wildlife in the backyard and all throughout neighborhood. It was peaceful, quiet and relaxing. House was fully stocked with anything you could need. Bed was better than anywhere else I’ve stayed. Caleb was very quick to respond. We didn’t have any kids but there was plenty for them to do if we did. Definitely coming back to this paradise.

Place was great, beautiful view, clean and had everything you need. Beach access 👎. Lake water level is approximately 20 ft low and the climb down to the water was too steep. We ended up at Comal Park must of the trip.

We love Canyon Lake!!!
My family had a great time! My husband and I came with our kids (age 5 and 7) and my mom. The game room was fun for the kids. View is spectacular. Host was very nice. Was a perfect house for us. We brought our boat and parking was plenty of room. AC had to be kept at 74 which I though may be hot but it was surprisingly comfortable especially with the good fans throughout the house. The game room is super cold which is perfect after being in the sun all day. Great time! Great house!

Lovely Lakeside Vacation
We had a nice stay alongside Canyon Lake. The house was clean and had enough space for everyone. We use the game room for paying pool and hanging out. The two bedrooms had enough space for 5 people. The view from the balconies was beautiful in the setting sun. The check in process was a little rough and the walk down to the water was difficult since the water level in the lake was low. There isn't really a beach area to sit but we enjoyed paddle boarding around. The house is well situated where day trips to Wimberly, Gruene, and Fredericksburg were easy. Worth renting if you want a relaxing time along the lake within easy access to local hot spots.

Some perks- but overall wouldn’t go back!
Nice game room & bar area;amazing views of lake & sunsets!Kitchen and living room-very small- no kitchen table to eat/play games. Beware…A/C broke-Air went out for 8 hrs.Owner said to keep A/C on 74. It kept dropping to 70 (it was programmed by previous group) we informed the owner about it, but he never came to reset it until after it froze. He seemed to blame us at first for A/C problem.Owner said another group had problems and had to incur some of the costs to get A/C fixed.There were initially bad septic smell issues on patio so we couldn’t eat outside! Owner stated meat was probably left outside. It was clearly from septic issues.Minimal directions were left in binder for checkout. Owner proceeded to message us about treating the home badly for not stripping the sheets and leaving towels on floor. If he wanted more specific things done, he should have listed them in the binder. (Clean fridge, take all trash out, set A/C to 74, & lock doors were the only items listed.)We left the house exactly the same.I have all 5 star ratings from several hosts on VRBO.

Sons graduation getaway
The location is great and the separate apartment above the garage is great to have. Especially when you have teens and you want some quiet time in the house. House is nice and having the oscillating fans on the patio is a nice touch. We do wish there were more nonstick pans. We had only one for 8 people. The shower curtain in the main house had mildew on the inside. The laundry room is big so that was also nice. BBQ pit worked great! Overall a great trip!

Great location - Game Room was fun
My family of 5 and 2 dogs had a great time here. Unfortunately it rained most of our stay but we were able to get down to the water for just a couple hours. The walk is a bit far but once you get down the stairs its mostly flat which a lot of other Canyon Lake properties are more steep access. Do watch the steps when they are wet after a rain, but there is good handrails so use them and it should be fine. And once at the bottom its a nice flat, rocky beach to walk along and play in the clear water. With the rain we were even more grateful for the game room. My kids played pool and Wii for a lot of our stay. Nice combo of covered and uncovered porches too. I will note here that the game room is a separate building above a detached garage so give some thought if you are wanting to use it as overflow sleeping; I wasn't paying enough attention to the listing and missed that. Property manager had super quick response times to everything I asked, including even bringing us some new batteries for the Wii remote. We would stay again.

Great for the Family
This was a good stay for a short weekend with the family. Could comfortably sleep 12 but was good for our group of 6. Right off the lake with a kayak and floaters available. Had all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay in addition to a large laundry room and kitchen. The game room doubles as a private sleeping space with a bathroom. There is no dock or patio area on the lake but is still a good experience for those not water bound. Again., great for a family get away on the lake. Lots of attractions close by.

Great property
The Blue Water Bungalow was a perfect set-up for me and my husband to enjoy a few days of peace & get-away at Canyon Lake. Our daughter, SIL and grandson came over for the afternoon & also enjoyed the porch and fishing from the shore. All furnishings were clean and comfortable. Check-in and out were seamless. Mid-week April was a quiet time around the lake, which we enjoyed - imagine the summer months are quite active. I definitely recommend this property for a couple or small-medium sized family :-)

Beautiful lake, perfect location
Caleb went above & beyond to accommodate our wants and make our stay extra fun. The lake is so beautiful- blue and clear. So worth it to rent a boat to really enjoy it. We strongly recommend the Natural Bridge Caverns about 30 minutes away, great for kids, but even the adults were in awe. The house had everything we could have needed, more than we've gotten in prior rentals- for example: kitchen condiments, aluminum foil, etc. The game room was great, our kids (10-12s) enjoyed it the most. The lake view from the porch is beautiful. We did swim even though the water was melted-ice cold, will definitely like to go back in the Summer!
