Great location, house outdated, many issues:
Issues: Very dirty place, many bugs, Heat doesn't work properly super HOT in the second floor, super cold in the first floor. Nasty dirty kitchen, completely disorganized, dirty oven, dirty cabinets, lots of spider webs and dead bugs. No exhaust in the first floor bathroom, toilet clogs, house smells, feels dirty overall. Not a great experience.

Cousins reunion
We had a wonderful time in canyon lake. 5 of us gals. Mom, daughter, aunt, great aunt and cousin. The view from the deck is beautiful. Weather was perfect. The stairs for us in canes was a bit difficult. But we managed. Would have been nice to have a toaster. We enjoyed Gruene and New Braunfels and Wimberley Thank you!!

Spacious property
Spacious property, beautiful views of the lake. The lake access leaves a lot to be desired. The older members of our family couldn't safely make it to the waters edge. One member went onto the hillside behind the house to retrieve a ball and got a little poison ivy rash on his arm. I had looked forward to the lake access so this was a disappointment but the deck and the rest of the house was lovely.

Nice home with lots of space. Big back patio to see the sun set. Enjoyed the hook & ring swing game on back patio. Access to the lake was a nice hike but enjoyed being able to get in water. Beautiful lake!

Space
The house has lots of space but is not well maintained. The light fixtures are covered in spider webs and dust. The floors poorly cleaned. We could not go barefoot due to the grime on the floor and carpet. I would say has not had a good deep cleaning in some time. Most furnishings are well worn but are clean. The yard has not been mowed in a while. The side of the house has broken light fixtures piled up. The heat went out while we were there and we were cold for a day. The repair guy said he knew of the problem but had yet been given the go ahead to do the work. I was in hopes the Thanksgiving holiday would be nice for my children and grandkids. We have all been working hard to overcome grief this year. I heard my son whisper to my daughter in law “ this place is so sad and dirty”. My heart hurts to think that I didn’t provide them with a nice place for their first Thanksgiving without their father. I hope they use this review to deep clean, dust and clean the place up. The lake view is beautiful and peaceful. The fireplace is not functional but would have helped out when we didn’t have heat. The kitchen is stocked with plenty of dishes/cookware to cook Thanksgiving dinner. The deer in the yard are wonderful. WiFi is not reliable so don’t expect to work online while there. Thank goodness I had no work plans which is unusual for me.

Spacious
For anyone looking for enough room to fit everyone, this is your place. The master alone can hold a whole family. The split house is perfect to have kids hanging out in one end and adults in the other with a spacious area to meet in the middle. The views from the large deck are captivating. The house comes well stocked with items you need (trash bags, toilet paper, etc). The garage has a ping table that entertained the kids. We did not use the lake access as it was freezing cold but I will warn you that it’s a hike back up. But definitely go enjoy that area.

Pictures are inaccurate! Honest review here!!!
So they weren't lying about the views but just about everything else was definitely not accurate. There were bugs in the master tub. The couple that stayed in the master said that they were scared to walk on the balcony because it felt unstable. The upstairs first guestroom on the right has sheer curtains...see-through curtains! When we got there it was so hot we had to move the mattress downstairs and sleep in the living room. Had a Nest system but took forever to get cool when we first arrived. Would have been nice if the manager would have turned the ac on that morning to have the house cooled off for us. Nest was also locked at 72 so you couldn't turn the ac lower than that. 72 is not a comfortable sleeping temperature in case you didn't know. The listing said no pets but the living room couch and round chair was covered in dog hair! We wouldn't even sit on them! The patio was nice and we spent most of our time out there. Forget trying to go down to the lake though. The lake front of this house is extremely rocky. You will not be able to approach the property by boat at all. The "convenient" stairs to and from the lake are great but make sure you are training to be an Olympic athlete or college football player before heading down. Our group was average adults aged 40-31 and we only made that trek once and said never again. Don't even think about kids or older people being able to walk up those stairs without needing a breathing treatment when they get to the top. We never had to contact the property manager so I can't review that. Location to the boat ramp was nice. Overall, the house size was decent but the pictures definitely need to be updated to reflect the true house so people know what they are actually getting.
