About this property

Escape to Nature-Wildlife with amazing Lake views from elegant home with hot tub

Amazing 2 bedroom/ensuite 3 bathroom home with well appointed kitchen, an eating bar with seating for 6, a dining table seating 8 and a comfortable living area with expansive views of Canyon Lake and sunsets from all of these areas. These views are also magnificent from the 35 x 16 sf deck across the front (Lakeside) of the house which is also visible from the living area of the house.
Additionally, our home has ample space to enjoy the out-of-doors, utilizing the numerous "outside living areas":
1) Spacious porch overlooking Canyon Lake, connected directly to the house with an overhead 84 inch ceiling fan hung from the vaulted ceiling covering the 575 sf deck well furnished with comfy rocking chairs and dining table/chairs that seat 6+. Again, all overlooking Canyon Lake.
2) On a separate level, a 400sf deck furnished with two tables providing seating for 8, located on a level slightly lower than the house and upper deck--great for morning and evening meals and gatherings.
3) A stone patio, nestled in oaks and cedars, is located at ground/Lake level, a great vantage point to view the activity around one of the fire pits and Canyon Lake. This level is closer to the Lake shoreline and great to use as a base for watching the activity on the Lake sit enjoy the numerous boats, kayaks and swimmers on the Lake.
4) Picnic table located in the BBQ area to gather and enjoy aromas generated by the grill; of course, the Lake and beautiful views are in the background at all times.
5) A favorite gathering area is the deck surrounding the hot tub, not to mention the hot tub itself. This is the best place to unwind from a busy day and enjoy the lights around the Lake and a beautiful starry sky. A hot/cold shower is provided for your convenience to rinse off before and after your dip.
6) There are 2 firepits, one located on the lake level and the other just steps from the main door to the house on the adjoining lot.

We have ample wildlife with sightings of fox, roadrunners, raccoons, birds galore and, of course, abundant deer that visit each morning and evening (and in between if you will feed them) looking for corn which we provide for your (and the deer’s) enjoyment. Many will eat from your hand! Just remember and use caution--they are wild and unpredictable and, as such, care should always be taken when interacting with wildlife, especially with children who should always have an adult with them.

Stairs and a path lead to the Lake shoreline. Lake activity has recently been limited with the lower lake level. Depending on current conditions (check with us) from our shoreline, normally, you can enjoy kayaking, boating, water-skiing, sailing, paddle boarding, snorkeling, fishing, jet skiing, or just laying on a float and watching the clouds go by and the activity on the Lake. Many of these water toys (boats, kayaks, watercraft can be rented at the Cranes Mill Marina located directly across from our home, or a 4 mile drive on FM2763, headed northwest.

Another relaxing location at our home to pass the day is sitting on the swing reading (located under the porch deck), contemplating life, and/or watching others enjoying water activities.

What you have to look forward to:
**If the Lake level and water conditions allow, take the steps down to the Lake for a dip in the cool. clear, refreshing water of Canyon Lake. Get the kids and go fishing at
the water's edge.
**Feed the deer that congregate at the front door (some will feed
from your hand!).
**Watch the numerous boaters/jet-skiers and other water activity
from the privacy of 4 locations on the property.
**Don't forget to plan carefully for the sunset!: Gather round with
your cool refreshments of choice and settle in to watch the
unforgettable sunset. Each evening is different so you don't want
to miss the show! As the fireball finally settles down behind the
hills, toast the wonderful day and plan for the next fun-filled day!
**A second firepit is conveniently located in close proximity to the house. Complete
the day with a smores feast at the firepit while listening to the popping embers and
watching a beautiful fire. BYOW ("Bring your own wood"--guests supply their own
wood/logs that can be purchased at nearby stores.)

These are just a few of the amenities available to you if you decide to 'hang' around the house!🏡

Perfect home for a getaway

We absolutely loved our stay. The house was so cute and the views from the deck were breathtaking. We also enjoyed the hot tub quite a bit as we ran our first 5k down in Gruene and were pretty sore. Also, I think we enjoyed feeding all of the deer the most. We will definitely book this home again when we don't travel with our pups.

About the host

Hosted by Shirley or Paul Jauma

Host profile image
Paul and I are from Houston and enjoy traveling throughout the US and abroad. However, our favorite place to be is right here at Canyon Lake and the Texas Hill Country. We love sharing our "special part of the world" with others.

Why they chose this property

Our home on Canyon Lake in the Texas Hill Country affords the ability to enjoy so many activities in the area--we are half way between San Antonio and Austin. With such convenience, we have best of all worlds--water and related activities, beautiful scenery, rural living but close proximity to major metropolitan areas. We are also about 90 minutes from Fredericksburg, 45 minutes from Wimberly and many places in between for shopping, wine-tasting, etc. There are many wineries and tours in the area to enjoy as well. Our home is quaint and set in a natural environment to enjoy nature at its best.

What makes this property unique

Our home is very special to us . We take pleasure in sharing our labor of love with our guests. The property is purposely kept a bit natural to enjoy nature at its best, deer visiting at our doorstep morning and night and our grey fox making an appearance from the den below the bluff. There are also two fire pits to enjoy smores and good conversation under the stars. One pit is set conveniently near the back door of the house on the adjoining property and the second is near the natural Canyon Lake shore. Don't forget the incomparable, beautiful Sunsets!!
ENJOY!
