You found it! The Happy Owl Lakehouse, built in 2019, has been lovingly designed to provide guests with an unforgettable experience of beauty, comfort, and joy. Relax in modern peaceful style in this newly-constructed oasis on the banks of Canyon Lake, located midway between San Antonio and Austin in the lush Texas Hill Country. Whether you're wanting peace and quiet, a fun-filled get-away to bond with friends and family, a taste of "Lake Life", or adventurous day trips packed with boating, tubing, cave exploring, safari tours, ziplining, Schlitterbahn, Six Flags, antiquing, dancing to live music, or much more, the Happy Owl makes for an excellent central base of operations.

The Happy Owl Lakehouse, with its high ceilings and huge windows, is located on the south shore of Canyon Lake, with beautiful sunset views from spacious waterfront decks and balconies with plenty of seating, lounge chairs, and tables for outdoor dining. Enjoy direct and private access to the lake, the propane BBQ grill, a hot tub for 6, an outdoor shower, indoor/outdoor sound system that connects to your device via Bluetooth, three large flat-screen "smart" televisions with 100 cable channels, WiFi internet, and brand new appliances throughout, including full sized washer/dryer, and the amenities of a modern kitchen.

Two downstairs bedrooms each have a king-sized bed, black-out blinds, and a private full bathroom, one with a walk-in shower and one with a bath tub. A separate half-bath also accommodates guests on the first floor. The second floor offers a large bedroom with two queen-sized beds, a loft area containing a day bed and trundle bed (two twins), a "kids zone" with toys, games, and puzzles, another full bathroom with a large walk-in shower, and a balcony that runs the full width of the house, overlooking the lower deck and lake. The Happy Owl is ready for the making of your extraordinary memories year round!

Video shoot

it was wonderful and a beautiful home. I just wish that the pictures on the Vrbo were more accurate as we needed a beautiful Lake as our backdrop so that was disappointing but I know that’s not necessarily your fault but you should be honest about the lake level. great house

Wow - You won't be disappointed!

This house is beautiful, comfortable, and has all the touches you need for a special stay. The kitchen is one of the most well-equipped in all the rental homes I've seen, and I cook a lot so that's important. They even stock a variety of K-cups for the coffeemaker.The deck and hot tub are exceptional. And the view is unmatched. The dining table is large and would seat at least 10 if not 12. We were able to work remotely on the wifi without issues, which was a plus.The only thing to note is that it's only kind of a 4 bedroom; there are three true bedrooms (with baths) and one upstairs den with a pull-out couch and a small kids' nook (think room under the stairs vibe). It wouldn't work for four couples but works great for 3 couples plus kids. There are some steep stairs down from the deck and down to the lake so keep that in mind if you have small kids.We will be back!

Spectacular View

I’ve stayed at many different rentals. This one by far was one of the nicest. It was beautifully decorated and accommodated our family of eleven very well. The view of the lake was spectacular. The amenities provided by the owner we’re better than expected. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you Happy Owl Lakehouse.

Pics don’t do it justice

This house is absolutely stunning!! Stocked well with everything you could need from cooking items to floats and activities! We enjoyed lots of time down at the lake, the walk is a bit rocky and steep but we managed just fine. Our group is already talking about making this a yearly tradition. Can’t wait to come back!

High-end Getaway Spot

Terrific experience on many levels. On the exterior, the view and water access was outstanding. Plenty of water toys and entertainment items for all ages. A decent sized and grassy front yard too. The interior is VERY tastefully done with lots of amenities that I would not normally expect (e.g., charging hubs, multi-zone stereo system, etc.). It was hard to leave. Highly recommend.

Weekend Stay

The property was as advertised. The pictures don't do the view justice. The pictures make the view look good but it's even better in person. We had eleven people in the house comfortably and used the kayak, floats and floating mat to hang out at the lake. The location is convenient to hiking the guadalupe river trail and going to concerts at the Whitewater Ampitheatre. We will likely be back in the future.

New house great views

This is a brand new house with great views of the lake. It has 3 good bedrooms, a simple family room and open plan kitchen and dining area. It maximizes views. The kitchen is well equipped minus a coffee bean grinder and French press. This is a brand new house, so there was some off gassing still happening but once we opened the door a few times it disappeared. There are very few shades on the windows but I’m sure the owner is working on that. The deck is nice but there is very little shade so hard to sit out there after the early morning and before the evening. There is access to the lake but the path to get there is a bit treacherous. But, again, I’m sure the owner is working on a safer path. There were water toys available, which was wonderful. Overall, I would recommend this house if you are agile and don’t mind the steep path to the lake. It was clean and had air conditioning.

This property is unreal, From the Lake view to the incredible home decor!

I have never in my life walked in a house and thought I wouldn’t change a thing about this, that was my thought when I walked in this one! I LOVED the decor down to every little detail. And the house has SO much bright natural sunlight it’s Beatiful. And can’t say enough about the Beatiful view of the lake and sky! Also the kitchen had so much stuff available from every cooking pot you would ever need to ziplock bags and spices, it was super helpful!
