The owners Angela and Bryan were EXTREMELY responsive..before, during, and after our stay. If you are visiting Canyon Lake in the summer...I suggest going early in the week. It is WAY less crowded. Here is our review by category:
Cabin: Boutique style cabin. 2 rooms. Main room is kitchenette and living room. Back room is bedroom. 1/2 bath inside. The shower is located outside. The outdoor shower was surprisingly amazing and fun! Please note: I love steaming hot showers and you do not need to turn on the gas more than the minimum to get a hot outdoor shower...it gets EXTREMELY hot quickly. There is a warning label on the tank.
Backyard: Love the jacuzzi and string lights! There is also a fire pit but a burn ban was in effect when we visited. Owners left a great smores package that we could still use by microwaving the marshmallows. We still sat in the chairs around the pit enjoying the landscape.
Location: Close to just about everything around canyon lake...about 20 min from new Braunfels. The backyard view is a wooded area. Privacy curtains around the porch which just shows you their attention to detail. VERY steep driveway. Not too many deer around the cabin but one did come to visit us! LOTS AND LOTS of deer around canyon lake. It's blissful.
Cleanliness: One of the cleanest vrbo's I've ever stayed in. I love how they included soap, paper towels, broom/dustpan, dishrags, etc. THEY SANITIZED ALL THE REMOTES AND PUT THEM IN PLASTIC! I felt this was important for my fellow travelers that are grossed out by remotes lol.
Things to just be aware of: No washer/dryer, adequate freezer, or dishwasher. We just packed enough clothes and bought ice for our coolers. The owners did inform me that they will need to get a better fridgerator/freezer. We could also handwash and hang out clothes out side on the hanging rack attached to the wall by the shower for the things we really needed washed.
Extra touches: Included towels for the lake AND shower! Robes and slippers (get to keep slippers). Great smelling shampoo, conditioner, and body wash included (large bottles). Small first aid kit, makeup washcloth, razor, cotton balls, q-tips, Advil were in a little nook in the bathroom! I pretty much needed all of this...with a bonus face mask. Ziploc bags, foil in kitchen along with plenty of dishware.
Concierge service: Loved the local goods basket, cheese and fruit plate, apple juice, wine, quiche and pastries!! Already at cabin! Added a special touch.
