We enjoyed our stay. The house was very clean and the surrounding property was beautiful. The property was located near all we wanted to do. Would love to stay again.
We absolutely enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property. The cottage was clean and felt so comfortable. We traveled with our dogs and they also approved of the pet friendly property. We will definitely be returning to this property for future stays.

Thank you so much for you kind words. We are so happy you enjoyed your stay! Looking forward to hosting you again. :)
This place was perfect for our family of 4 and our dog. We loved the little home it was perfect for us and our small children, ages 11 & 8. The home had everything we needed and was so well decorated. The location was also perfect for access to the lake. Thanks for letting us stay, we enjoyed it!

Ana was a great guest. House rules were observed and was left in great condition. Would rent to Ana again.
The house had perfect spacing for the amount of people it allows (pets included). We loved the patio as well, very spacious for dogs as well and the fact that it was all fenced was even better. For outdoors activity it was super close to nice spots (tubing, damn lake, hiking trails) it was just perfect!

Such a cool property perfect for a small family! The owners had everything labeled and placed in a super thoughtful manner. Lots of extra little touches like makeup remover and chocolates by the coffee pot were so welcoming!

We are very pleased to have stayed in a super clean loft with a modern touch, only 5 minutes away from the Overlook Park of Canyon Lake. The loft had a comfortable and warming touch for my family and my dogs which was very convenient for us who care about our four-legged babies. We’re highly thankful to have found this place, we will definitely recomment this loft!

We enjoyed staying in this tiny home. It is very clean and has a nice kitchen. We like to do most of our meals in and the kitchen was perfect. There is also a gas grill that we used. This home is close to the dam and a nature walk. I hope to stay here again at some point in the future

Jennifer was a great guest. House rules were observed and was left in great condition. Would rent to Jennifer again.
I spent two weeks at the Hideaway while I quarantined so I could be with my boyfriend on our anniversary. The house had absolutely everything I needed and became my home away from home over that time. The bed, couch, and even rug were all very comfortable, but I enjoyed the patio chairs best. I spent much of my days enjoying the sunshine on the front porch. The shower was big, the washer/dryer was very convenient, and the fridge kept my food fresh my entire stay! Just a dream house with dream amenities on a beautiful property with friendly and respectful hosts. I will definitely be back and have already recommended the place to many friends!

We arrived during an ice storm! Emilia, the tiny home, from a distance was easy to spot. A Billboard easy to see from the main road led us to the gated drive. The porch lights were lit, and ohh the warmth was a wonderful comfort from the cold!
My boys ages 3 and 5, were so excited to roam around the home. We had everything we needed to weather the cold, extra blankets and towels we placed just for us. Everything we needed and things we didn't think of were available.
Beautiful property, witnessed a family of deer running thru the snow close by, we made snowmen, had warm dinners, and walked the property with our Dog. Which was safely fenced. The entire property felt very secure.
The cleanliness, I honestly couldn't believe we weren't the first ones staying there, as it was spotless.
During our stay, we ended up snowed in a few extra days, and our host was easy to communicate with and extended our stay very easily.
A big deal** We ended up not having enough water.. I didn't even have a chance to realize this, before our host brought a case of water for myself and my boys, letting me know if I needed more not to hesitate to let them know.
** Water right now, during the storm and after is a hard to come by at the moment. It is sold out everywhere! This type of thoughtfulness just was something I don't think you would easily find elsewhere.
If I'm ever in need of place to stay while in canyon lake, this will be my first place to check for availabilities and will be the only place I refer to others.
Clean, Comfortable, stylishly rustic. High end finishes, and five star service!
The storm of the century for Texas was not so bad for my family, thanks to Emilias Hideaway.

This place was exactly how it’s described in the listing. Perfect place to spend a couple nights. Was nice to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city life. Big bonus is that it was a great place to bring our fur baby will definately book again.
I highly recommend! We enjoyed our stay, it was very peaceful and everything was made super easy for us to check in and out! They have constant communication in case you need anything.
We will definitely book again!

We stayed in March and the tiny house was cozy for my family and our 2 small dogs.
The entrance can be hard to see at night even with lights and when we were there the keypad didn't light up. Other than that it was great and centrally located.
This is the cutest little cabin. The house was just perfect for a small family and all the decor and appliances was up to date. Will drfystdy there again next time

Adorable micro cabin that had all the modern amenities. We loved the quiet, lots of deer came by and we were left to ourselves. Will definitely recommend this property. Thanks!
