The home was nice and seemed clean, but there was both an indoor and outdoor bug problem. The home had a build up of ants, spiders and tiny flies in the window sills, corners of the walls and on the outdoor patio. There was a live cockroach in the master bedroom. The home was clean, but could use a good wipe down of cobwebs and insects hanging out, and some exterminating. Overall it was spacious, a nice modern home, secure, and lots of animals and nature to explore.
Was not told that only half of the rental would be available. Communication is key. If Iâd know we wouldnât have access to the full home I wouldnât have rented it for 2grand hits why the didnât say anything. No lake access. Update your information on the site.
This home is absolutely beautiful with an amazing deck to view the lake and stargaze. It is gated and felt safe. The beds are comfy, ac works great, Just a beautiful property. Only 2 boat ramps open on canyon lake when we were there so plan for long waits to put inâŠthe lake is clean, clear beautiful water.
Description of this property is short compared with what you getâŠ. Tons of light, great view, nice and clean, all minimum to stay comfortable, like all appliances and linen in kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms. Great stay.
My husband and I rented this as a getaway to relax for a few days. The property is beautiful and views are amazing! A couple of small heads up I wished I knew before coming. 1) we couldnât get the AC to cool the place and it was stuck at 78 the whole time. In Texas thatâs pretty hot and we ended up leaving a day early. 2) I think the homeowner was there, which we didnât realize but it *does* say in the print that itâs a possibility. Be sure you know about that!
Luckily we werenât planning on cooking much, kitchen items were sparse.
Great location!! This is the place for views and I believe water access.
We sincerely enjoyed our time at this lovely house! The views are spectacular and the house has a great presentation. It was the perfect weekend getaway with friends.
Nice property with great views but sparsely appointed
It's a beautiful, modern house with great spaces and views but we won't be back because of the following: A huge bank of windows faces northwest and when the sun is coming down, the living room is way too bright and way too hot. It's unimaginable to not have window shades. The property managers leave the AC on 78. We turned it down upon arrival and it did not get cool until the next morning. The appliances are new with the exception of the dishwasher, which was just plain gross. It would not get the dishes clean with the powder provided. My husband actually cleaned with vinegar and we left some liquid detergent for the next guests but even then the dishes came out dingy. The kitchen itself was the opposite of being "well-stocked." We had to buy sugar, vegetable oil, etc. The pots/pans/utensils were cheap and flimsy. No potholders. Only 5 spoons in the drawer and we were a group of 6. Having laundry was nice but no laundry basket. No throw blankets. Left sliding door does not lock. Flooring is cheap laminate.
It's a shame that these things haven't been addressed. It's like the builder ran out of money or something and had to go cheapo at the end of the project. Who knows.
The house is lovely and designed to give everyone time together and independently. It boasts great views from all the large picture windows in the living area and the 2 master bedrooms. The balcony is also a great place to enjoy the outdoors and keep an eye on all the boating activity on the lake.
This is what we considered a primo VRBO house as reflected in the beautiful property and higher rental price. The number of bedrooms, access to the lake and spacious living areas, in and out, make the house very appealing.
The house does not have a pool or offer guests olawn chairs and games for inside & out (1 deck of cards?). This just misses the mark though when you consider the lack of personal touches that make guests feel they are getting the very best value and appreciation for their stay. Here are some ideas from stays we have enjoyed in other top properties that would make the place memorable. Guest bottles of chilled water in the fridge - 1 per guest per night. Coffee filters (we used paper towels used until someone could make a store run), creamers and even hotel sized coffee and tea, hand towels and bath towels could be available in laundry room or bathrooms. Dish towels and oven hot pads (we used bath washcloths and hand towels for removing hot dishes and drying dishes) are needed in the kitchen, along with a better assortment of cooking pots & pans (some things are old and not in the best shape). 1 set of pots & pans and 1 set of cookie/cooking sheets would make the kitchen more efficient. Remove the old, well worn items. Individual sized bottles of body wash, hair shampoo & conditioner and body lotion would be more gracious than the family sized bottles offered. This is probably a bit picky but small things make individuals feel special. The property will gain customers and they will enjoy themselves more if they feel valued. So would we come back? Probably, but we would pack to bring the added items to make our stay memorable for the right reasons.
We come to this lake twice a year and had never stayed at a house this beautiful. It has everything you need, the beds are very comfortable. I read about the bugs in the house, but if your staying by the lake you have to be aware of that. Beautiful views to wake up to and beautiful outdoors..
We absolutely loved this house. Beautiful inside and out. Gorgeous views and access to the lake were so fun! We can't wait to come back when the weather is warmer and the kids can actually play in the water!
Beautiful and new and sparkling clean. My only suggestion would be to stock the kitchen a bit more. It may be because it is fairly new but there were very few pots and pans- we cooked breakfast for 8 with one frying pan. Other than that, the place was awesome. Very comfortable beds and bedding, spacious and clean. I would recommend a stay here for sure.
House is brand new and is nicer and more spacious than it looks on the webpage. Great lake view from all windows and back deck. You can walk or even drive a truck to the beach from the property. A great pick if you want direct beach access and a large property.
