“We really enjoyed our time in canyon lake at Marilyn’s place. The house was clean, with all amenities. Marilyn was easy to communicate with and very responsive. With an easy drive to the lake, San Antonio, new braunfels and other hill country attractions, this house was in the perfect location. We even enjoyed early morning walks and jogs around the neighborhood. Would recommend to anyone who needs to unplug with family.” — Sang
