Come and experience Paradise at Canyon Lake
Looking for something different? A place to relax and not be in a cookie cutter property? Stay in a work of art with the comforts of home? A place where you can take in the Hill Country AND the lake? A place you will always remember for its beauty and its ability to transport you out of the city and into a special place?
If so, Paradise at Canyon may be just the place you want.
You can bring your water toys. There are two free boat ramps with free parking less than one mile away.
The property is water view and at lake level.
The property is a two story duplex with the rental being the entire top story.
Downstairs is our vacation home and it is NEVER rented out. We don’t get to the lake as often as we would like so most of the time the entire property is for the exclusive use of our guests.
Each unit is 100% self contained with considerable sound insulation between them.
We have plenty of free parking available.
You will enjoy watching the deer walk past your window every morning and evening.
You have use of all outdoor decks and furniture. Chill out in the two person hammock and stare at the water. The views are fantastic.
On the lower deck there is a gas fired grill and three outdoor tables each with an umbrella. There is seating for 18+. Next to the deck near the hammock is a picnic table and another service table where you can park your drinks, reading material or electronic devises.
There is plenty of night time lighting and both staircases have LED rope lights their entire length assuring you a well lite passage from dusk to dawn. There are lights in the driveway and parking areas.
Grocery store is six miles away along with both fast and sit down food options. EMS/FIRE is two miles away.
River floating options are within 15 minutes. There are options to rent all manner of water craft including speed and pontoon boats and two or three seat jet skis. We have a 24 foot pontoon boat we rent to our guests at a substantial discount.
Army Corp maintains a nice beach area with covered picnic tables nearby.
The dam is open from dawn to sunset and many people walk it’s length with their dogs and take in the view. It’s free and offers a one of a kind view at sunset.
There are two wineries within a mile and over 70 within a 45 mile radius.
San Antonio, Austin, San Marcos, and New Braunfels are all 30 to 50 minutes away.
There are four nearby rivers which tube floaters enjoy and a trip to Wimberley (20 minutes) is a must do item.
The area abounds with live music and most small towns host an old fashioned Texas dance hall.
The oldest dance hall in Texas is 30 minutes away and offers plenty of free events all week long.
Major music headliners will perform at the Whitewater theater 20 minutes from our driveway.
On a clear night you will marvel at how bright and numerous the stars are while sitting on one of our decks enjoying a beverage.
Home security is important to us. Each guest is provided with their own PIN good only for the length of their stay there are no key locks to pick or compromise. Smoke detectors are in place along with two totally separate WIDE staircases exiting from both ends of the apartment.
The property is all electric so there is no possibility of leaking gases, even so carbon monoxide detectors are in place.
We want you happy, relaxed, pampered, and safe.

Paradise at Canyon Lake
The coffee and food at Granny D’s was wonderful! Thank you for the recommendation. FYI…while you’re getting the kitchen light fixture fixed you may want to add this to your list…you need a new flapper on the toilet because it keeps running unless you jiggle the handle.We had a lovely time. We ate at Gruene River Grill last night..one of our favorite places is to go. Then, instead of driving an hour to Luckenbach, we stayed in Gruene and listened to music there. Today we drove to Dripping Springs and Driftwood, went to the olive oil orchard and bought lots of bottles of amazing olive oil and bourbon infused balsamic vinegar. We had dinner at Trattoria Lucina…another one of our favorite places. Now, we’re gonna have to put ourselves on a diet when we get home! Lol!Thank you and your wife for welcoming us with a bottle of wine and goldfish crackers! We enjoyed our stay here. The tropical theme is so pretty (whoever did the artwork is quite talented) and the view from the deck is beautiful! We saw a few deer around your property. The bed was very comfortable and the shower pressure was great! We will come visit again in the near future! God bless you both and safe travels!

Unique little place by the lake
Place is loaded with Hill County charm. It’s a unique set up with lots of decks and a great, rugged backyard. Good for couples and small families with big kids (great rocks to explore). Would not recommend if there are mobility issues in your group.

We were in town for a Family holiday gathering and didn't spend too much time in the rental. It's cute and seems to have a ton of outdoor seating and hang area. Would definitely be fun to relax here in warm weather.

It was a great place to stay. The decor was perfect. The kitchen and restrooms were stocked with everything you could need. The owners were really accommodating and very nice. It was quiet and the veiw off the deck was beautiful. I felt my blood pressure lower every morning sitting outside drinking my coffee. I recommend this place to anyone.

Perfect place to disconnect
As everyone elses reviews noted, the communication and hospitality from Ross and Karen are second to none. This was our first trip to the Canyon Lake area and Ross provided excellent ideas and location information to make our stay beyond expectations.
The property is very convieniently located near several venues such as Overlook Park, and the Horeshoe on the Gaudelupe.
We enjoyed our morning and evening walks along the quite road on the downhill side of the property that runs parrellel to the lake just a few hundred yards away. No you dont have direct access to the lake by crossing the road but the views of the lake and the deer/wildlife was spectacular.
If you research Canyon Lake you knows its hard to appreciate its beauty from the shore - Take advantage of the Hosts truly great deal on thieir pontoon boat rental. The day on the lake in Ross and Karens pontoon boat was the kids favorite and mine too.
The star gazing is best done from the boat ramp less than a mile down that quiet road along the lake. You could just sit on the amazing porch at the house and star gaze but the house has LED lighting on the proch for saftey so it takes away the total dark sky effect - best to just run down to the boat ramp.
This will definatly be one of our regular vacation homes going forward
Rent the boat, dont miss out on that opportunity!!!!
And thank you again Ross and Karen, you truly care about the stay experience of your guests.

Paradise at Canyon Lake
We took a 3 night trip to this house between Christmas and New Years. Our group consisted of me, my wife, and 2 kids (5 and 2.5). We had an absolute blast! The views from the house are beautiful. There are few things more calming and relaxing than sitting out on the porch and just enjoying the few. It’s so quiet and peaceful. We were greeted daily by a family of deer. They were not scared of us at all and would get within a few feet of us and enjoy the deer feed that Ross and Karen left for us. This was easily the highlight of the 5 year old trip.
We took the time to explore the area a bit. We went into New Braunfels one day and enjoyed Landa Park and the the train ride. We went theough Wimberly and Gurne, enjoyed the nature trail at the Canyon Lake library with the butterfly garden. We also went to an exotic zoo that was about 25 miles from the house. There are also a lot of great hiking trails in the area, and the lake is very beautiful. Next time we plan to rent the boat as well!
Ross and Karen we exceptional hosts. If we could rate them 10 stars we would. They were incredibly knowledgeable of the area and quick to offer great suggestions of activities. They knew all the best restaurants and were able to offer covid safe suggestions given all the recent surges in the area.
All in all this was a fantastic trip and we plan to visit this property again! Highly recommend!!
