A private resort, for your group only ⟡ Close to Lake & Tubing ⟡ King Bedrooms

This is the one. You found your place.

Retreat from the busy city to this luxurious and secluded Hill Country getaway. Fancy Like at Canyon Lake is a daylight-filled, entertainment-focused, spacious, 3,660 sq. ft experience with resort-like outdoor living and sought-after entertaining spaces. Situated on five private acres, down a tree-lined gated driveway, surrounded by bedding deer, and within minutes of the beautifully blue lake and river for tubing. Location can’t be beat!

The experience includes an adjacent two-bedroom casita, allowing privacy for part of the group, in their own mini home with full bathroom and coffee bar.

WHAT'S IT LIKE TO STAY HERE?
Imagine a family-friendly high-end resort, with a fully-equipped kitchen, yet completely private and gated, where no one can see you. No need to pay extra for a pool cabana, obey pool hours, or wait for a turn at the shuffleboard table. The experience is all yours. Enjoy luxurious white bath towels and instead of having to call the front desk for that extra toothbrush or razor, it is already placed in each bathroom. At the end of a fun-filled day, sink into a pristine white bed, with ample pillows, for a much needed restorative night's sleep.

The exquisite experience includes the following:
💠 Private resort-style pool+ waterfall (heated Oct-May)
💠 King bedrooms
💠 Fire pit w/ provided wood/kindling/hot dog sticks
💠 Shuffleboard, basketball half court, air hockey, foosball, croquet, ring toss, cornhole, kids toy room, (7) 4K TVs with Roku (including outdoor TV)
💠 Ease of a one-story home + pool railing
💠 Guest house with full bathroom + coffee bar
💠 Close proximity to boat rentals + river tubing
💠 Convenience to grocer + restaurants
💠 Flexible early check in
💠 Serenity + security with gated/fenced acreage
💠 Incredibly fast WiFi
💠 Portable crib, pack-n-play, changing table, high chair
💠 Magical outdoor evening ambiance w/ string lights
💠 Indoor/outdoor surround sound

💎 PRIVATE RESORT-STYLE POOL 💎
Soak in panoramic privacy from thick surrounding bamboo and arching live oak trees. The waterfall, with bench underneath, will allow you to relax and unclutter your mind. (7) pool floats included and an impressive shade umbrella was added over the hot tub. October - May the pool is always heated to 87 degrees, with no fee. Already at 87 degrees upon arrival.

Easy access to lake for swimming, floating, and boat/jet ski/kayak/SUP rentals. Less than 10 minutes from high-end/casual restaurants, full grocery store, CVS, high-end liquor store, and retail shopping. Take a neighborhood morning walk with picturesque lake views to keep your mind off the exercise. 15 min to river tubing, 20 min from New Braunfels and Gruene, 30min from Wimberley, for unique Hill Country shopping, restaurants, entertainment, and nature trails.

★ 5 ACRES OF MATURE LIKE OAKS ★
Bring a cup of locally roasted coffee and savor scenic Hill Country views from a swing or one of the quaint benches placed around the grounds, under mature live oak trees. The deer are happy to greet you. Let the kids run wild in the green grass with the reassurance they are in a gated, fenced, and secured setting. Go barefoot to feel the well-kept grass under your feet. This is your private estate; enjoy every inch of it.

★ SECURED PARKING + GARAGE ★
10+ large Texan vehicles are easily accommodated with pull-through covered and uncovered gated parking. Plus garage.

★ EXCEPTIONAL ENTERTAINMENT ★
Enjoy a heated game of shuffleboard, air hockey or foosball while the rest of your group gets serious about Hill Country Monopoly or checkers/chess. Some might decide to get sweaty, prior to a swim, with a game of basketball at the half court. Kids will enjoy a designated toy room. Other games include croquet, tossing the football, barefoot, in the bright green grass, corn hole, and ring toss. Watch the big game from the hot tub or classic movie inside, fireside. Everyone can watch his or her favorite shows around the main home and casita between seven large screen HD/4K TVs, each with Roku streaming.

★ MAGICAL EVENING FEEL★
Once the sun sets, Fancy Like turns into a magical place with year-round enchanting string lights from tree to tree and around the pool. Let the fun continue into the evening in a surreal evening setting, with complete privacy. Enjoy evening conversation and memories around the fire pit. Kindling, firewood, and s'mores sticks provided.

★ MAKING MAMA'S LIFE EASIER ★
She doesn't have to lug baby gear. Swim diapers, high chair, folding portable crib with clean sheet, portable playpen with clean sheet, bassinet, changing table with wipes, separate toy room, kids dining table, PFOA-free plastic kids dining ware, and a dinosaur kitchen step stool are all provided. And most importantly, all are pristinely clean. For night-night time, a spotless bath tub, will mean no change in the normal at-home routine.

★ STOCKED KITCHEN ★
Equipped with All-Clad pots and pans, bakeware, modern appliances, and spices; ideal for the inspired home chef. A bright, light-filled space designed for convenience with labeled cabinets and light switches. Fun-colored pool-friendly cups and mule mugs because Fun and Fancy are top priorities 'round here.

★ HIGH-END COFFEE STATION ★
Provided Keurig/coffee maker combo, French press, bean grinder, coffee/tea pods, organic coffee beans, teas, ground coffee, creamer, sugars, and to-go cups. One coffee bar in main house and one in casita. Includes locally roasted beans from Gruene Haus Coffee. Even the coffee is an authentic Hill Country vacation experience.

Relaxing stay in spring
We enjoyed a very restful, relaxing stay at this property. The heated pool and hot tub were the highlights as we spent much of our time there. The house is beautiful with plenty of room for guests. The ice machine was a real treat and continually provides enough ice for whatever your need. Overall the house and amenities were top notch. The hosts are really nice and super attentive as well.

Hill Country Paradise
From the moment we arrived, we were impressed and welcomed by one of the owners, Valarie. She gave us a tour of their beautiful vacation home and showed us all of the ins and outs of the property. We settled in easily, and took advantage of the pool, the beautiful, hot tub, Jacuzzi, and the grounds, which are magnificent. We walked in the neighborhood on trails and cooked in her beautiful kitchen, as well as sampled, local dining experiences, all of which were wonderful. We were visiting to view the eclipse in nearby Kerrville, and this was a relaxed staging ground for that experience. I would recommend this property to anyone without any reservation. It is a luxury resort all on its own!

A beautiful, peaceful and relaxing place to visit and recharge. The kids and adults enjoyed using the heated pool, jacuzzi, basketball court and outdoor fire pit. Inside the house is very clean, comfortable and spacious. The kitchen has everything you need to cook, the gas BBQ grill works great too. There is plenty of space inside and outside to enjoy a your meal, conversation or just to be alone to meditate. We loved this place and will highly consider visiting again.

Exceptional Property and Amazing Hosts
Jonathan & Valarie -- The property is amazing on its own but when paired with the incredible experience working with you as hosts, we give the experience 10/10! We have stayed at quite a few vacation rentals but have never had hosts as outstanding as you. Your communication was over the top -- from the very seamless booking and check-in process to all the emails and texts to ask about our needs and provide information for how to get the most out of the property and enjoy the Hill Country area around Canyon Lake. So many thoughtful touches that go far beyond just having sufficient pots and pans in the kitchen -- the wonderful coffee station, bottled water, the stash of most-often-forgotten items in the bathrooms, the full house surround sound, the toys and ALL the amenities for small children, the floats to enjoy the GORGEOUS heated pool, the lawn games, the wood and starting materials all ready for the fire pit. I could go on and on. Thank you for your hospitality -- my 4 year old grandson said it best: "I want to stay here forever".
