Great getaway!
We had a great time at this property. It was true to the listing, very well stocked kitchen and other items and in a very quiet neighborhood. The owners were very accommodating to us and easy and pleasant to communicate with. Highly recommended!

Gorgeous view, everything you need!
There are 13 of us, 8 adults and 5 kids and it's difficult to find a place to accommodate all of us comfortably. This house was definitely in the top 3 places we've stayed. The owners are so considerate to make sure the home has those extra items that make you feel at home. Very clean, quiet neighborhood w/ a gorgeous view of the lake and sunrise! All good and our only negative feedback would be the comfort of the beds! There are 3 beds and the rest of the sleeping arrangements are fold out couches.

Living the lake life!
Nice 3 bedroom house with plenty of extra pantry basics and amenities. Perfect for our two families of 4 adults and 4 children. We had an extra bedroom for another couple that couldn’t come. Beds could be a little softer. Had a great open kitchen living space. This house had room for kids to play. If you had toddlers, you would need a gate for the top of the stairs. This house is close to the boat ramp and plenty of parking for 3-4 cars and a boat. The house also has a pool key for use of the club house pool down the street. It also has a garage that was turned into a game room with a separate air conditioner that could be turned on. Easy check-in and check out procedures. Overall this was a great house and we would stay there again.

Amazing stay!
We stayed at this house for my bachelorette party - there were 10 of us girls. The kitchen and living area were perfect for big meals and late night conversations! We didn’t pull out all the couch mattresses because the couches were comfortable themselves and we had plenty of room to sleep 10. The deck is perfect for morning coffee and even though the lake is low, the view is beautiful!! The hosts were so responsive to any questions I had and they even accommodated an early check in for us. I cannot say enough great things about our stay!! Thanks so much Cherie and Rita!!

Christmas Vacation
Rented this beautiful lake house for our family Christmas vacation. This house has everything you need and more. Plenty of extra bedding and pillows. We didn't have any kids but I did see play cribs, high chairs, plates and spoons for the little ones. Plenty of parking too! The owners are very nice and responsive! Would stay here again for sure!! Both dogs loved the yard.

Holiday weekend get-together
For our weekend stay this property had everything we needed. Not only was there plenty of parking for our large group, there was plenty of beds and couches for comfortable sleeping. The views from the house were great and the short distance from the lake was ideal. I would definitely stay here again.

Great Stay
This house was perfect for our group of friends. The owners really thought of everything. Plenty of towels and extra blankets. There was a cute coffee bar that had everything we could need. The kitchen was fully stocked with plenty of cooking utensils, pots/pans and kitchen towels. We made use of the BBQ pit and there was plenty of seating for everyone. The house did get a little hot at night but we did stay in 100°+ heat. The main refrigerator took a while to cool down and the garbage disposal didn’t work properly but those were not deal breakers for us. We had a great time at the property and would book again. The location was great, the neighborhood was quiet, the views were amazing and the house was cozy and welcoming.

We stayed here to attend a family reunion down the street. We had 4 families - 11 people. Everyone had a bed and a place to park their car. Kitchen was well stocked (best I’ve ever seen at a VRBO). Lots of seating in the kitchen. Great air conditioning!!

This property is gorgeous. The pictures don’t do it justice. Had a tiny mishap with the door code. But it didn’t matter that it was 9:30 pm, host unlocked through the app within seconds of me messaging and fixed the door code. View is gorgeous. Bathrooms, kitchen, etc were all stocked like none I’ve ever seen. These hosts didn’t miss a single detail. Will definitely be staying here again.

Perfect place
This home was perfect. It had everything we needed to make the stay comfortable and enjoyable. We rented this home due to the proximity being just around the corner from my mother. We had one big holiday celebration for Christmas between the two houses. The house comfortably slept 6 adults, 2 teens and 3 kids. There was plenty of beds or couches with fresh linens and pillows. The owners were available if we needed them and the house was stocked with items to help with cooking, making coffee in the morning and even a fire at night. We played a mean game of poker that went into the wee hours and the table and poker set onsite made this an epic event. The helpful notes around the house were an extra touch that we appreciated. Thank you for making our stay comfortable. We will definitely be back for a summer vacation next!

Perfect house
This is what every VRBO should aspire to be. Everything worked! Wi-fi was good. Dishes, appliances, etc. were all good. Boat ramp was a short 5 minute drive from the house. Driveway for boat/RV was nice. Bedrooms were nice. Garage / game room was nice with poker and bag-toss. A little more view of the lake would be nice, but the partial view was still very pretty. There are deer all around the neighborhood. We saw the guy across the street hand-feeding them one evening. Parking at the boat ramp gets pretty crowded so launch early or take a car down to the ramp around 8 or 9 to save a spot for your trailer. Thank you for a great stay!

Memories were made!
What a fun weekend! This house was incredibly cleaned and well stocked. There are so many little details that made it a convenient and easy stay, from a phone charging dock to a stocked coffee bar and toiletries. We made it a packed weekend with a concert at whitewater amphitheater, which is only 12 minutes away, and then rented a boat on Canyon Lake the next day. The house is the perfect location to do both activities. The beds are comfortable and the view is amazing! We’ll definitely stay here again!

It starts with great communication with the owners. So responsive to our questions. House has everything and so well thought out. Beautiful design, great open layout and plenty of visiting deer.
