* Charges for heating the pool will be billed separately before check-in

We loved time in the pool and hot tub! The scenery out the back of the home was beautiful and made for a relaxing, fun weekend. Thank you for hosting us!
We really enjoyed the hot tub/spa and the view from the place. Everything was clean and well kept. I would highly recommend staying here, especially if you just want a quiet retreat away from the city.
Beautiful views from a well-appointed and immaculately clean house. We especially enjoyed the outdoor patio with a swimming pool, hot tub,TV, and grill.
Amazing views! Stayed for the weekend and hardly left the pool! Definitely recommend. Perfect for a weekend getaway. No issues but host was very responsive when I asked about using the EV charger.

Our group of 6 adults enjoyed the pool, decks, outdoor space & the house.
Didn't feel crowded at all, gas/grocery/ice nearby, Great location.
The house was wonderful but it is the pool and backyard views that are the real attraction here. What a perfect place to enjoy a cup of coffee and listen to the birds chirping and the water fountains in the pool.
This property was a great place to disconnect (really)! The view was pretty and the property was quiet. Beds were very comfortable and the home was well stocked with what we needed! Will definitely return!
We loved our stay! The pool, the hot tub, the views - all, as advertised. Beds were comfortable. Located at the end of a road, no traffic near us. Quiet area. Grocery store and places to eat within 5-10 minutes. About 45 minutes to The Riverwalk in San Antonio, about an hour to Seaworld. Property manager was very responsive and helpful. Great place to stay, would highly recommend!
Great place. I highly recommend it. Very clean, very quiet. They have everything you need for cooking, showering, laundry, etc...the swimming pool was amazing. Beds are comfortable. Overall great experience for my family of 5.
We enjoyed our stay here so much that we WILL be back!
The Host was super attentive and the whole experience was just awesome! The house is NEW and very well accommodated.
We were super pleased and awesome views! the Canyon Lake is on a short drive as well. Just great all around. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

Great location far enough from the hustle and bustle but close enough to town. Very well kept home with gorgeous views! The main reason we rented this location was for the hot tub since we came in December. Unfortunately it was not working but the owner did try to get it working and did give us a refund after not being able to do so. Communicated with us promptly which was appreciated.

Thanks Candice. The recent cold weather knocked out the regulator on the gas supply to the hot tub. It was repaired as soon as I could get a tech onsite. Unfortunately, that was after your stay concluded. Please come back another time and we'll work with you on the price! All the best! -Greg & Kerri
