Canyon Star was a perfect place to spend the nation’s 250th! The home is stunning and far exceeded our expectations. The photos do not do it justice. Seemed like a brand new home. Excellent location, very peaceful. The host Brian was fantastic to work with and immediately responded to questions. 10 outta 10

The house was delightful and everything was clean and charming. The only complaints anyone had was the amount of fees involved in renting it.

Thank you for staying with us at Canyon Star and for your kind words about the home—we’re so glad you found it clean, charming, and enjoyable.
We appreciate your feedback regarding the fees and understand how that can feel frustrating. We do our best to keep pricing competitive and fees as low as possible, but some fees are necessary to properly operate, maintain, and care for the home, as well as to ensure a high-quality experience for every guest.
We truly value your input and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back to Canyon Star again in the future.
This home was very clean and beautiful! The kitchen has everything that you could possibly need! If you like watching wildlife, make sure to go to the Brookshire grocery store and pick up some corn to feed the deer, then sit out in the beautiful balcony and enjoy! I will definitely keep this home as one of my favorites
We spent three nights at Joe’s Canyon Lake home and it couldn’t have been better. The house was very clean, from the kitchen to the beds/towels. The kitchen is one of the best-stocked we’ve seen: plenty of pots, pans, plates, bowls, silverware. The living-room TV setup kept everyone entertained in the evenings, and there was more than enough space for our group of six (four adults and two young girls).The location is ideal: less than 10 minutes to Potter’s Creek Park for lake access, but tucked away on a quiet street so we could relax without road noise. Communication with Joe was fast and friendly from booking all the way through checkout—he checked in just enough to make sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling intrusive.Overall, an excellent stay that exceeded expectations. We’d happily book here again!
