Excellent lovation

Great location and the house was very roomy. Saw deer every morning and afternoon. Loved the large back porch. Walkway to lake is sorta steep but paved and makes it easy to walk down and back. Gazebo is a plus

Great House, Amazing View!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our party of 7 adults and 2 children had a wonderful stay at Blue Diamond Retreat! The house is a great size, especially the back patio. We had a lovely time enjoying the views and deer! The kitchen has plenty of amenities if you choose to stay in and cook. The bed linens in the upstairs bedrooms seem a little worn. Overall we all had a fabulous stay!

There’s still plenty of water to kayak in Canyon lake!

The path down to the water is about as gentle of a slope as you can get at canyon lake. Bring water shoes for the rocks, though! Very clean house! Kitchen table is the best spot to look at the lake and hang out. Location is great, lake front, great views, awesome deck with trees and fans and new, comfortable outdoor furniture. Beautiful trees! Steep driveway if you don’t have 4WD, so use the black top one on the left to exit! Cons: Honestly a bit under stocked compared to other VRBOs I’ve stayed in as far as basic kitchen condiments, cleaning products, toilet paper and trash bags but they warn you about it ahead of time plenty. Living room couches older, not very comfortable. I did not love the check in process (I’ve never had to provide so much proof that I am the renter since VRBO does all that verified communication, seems very unnecessary.)

No Lake Front

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very unhappy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The home was clean, and the accommodations were nice. As stated in the listing, there are starter items, but no food items. This is fine. However, The listing says 185' of lake front for swimming and water fun. The lake has dropped over the last couple of years (I learned after arriving) therefore, the house has NO lake frontage. The picture and statement is false. If you are looking for lake access, this is not the place. If you want to swim, there is no water. If you just want a view from the house, then you can see the lake off in the distance.

Canyon Lake house

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: House was a bit dated but very clean and well taken care of. Lake was at 50% capacity so it wasn't great for swimming. The capacity restriction was a killer for me. My son and wife live in San Antonio and wanted to visit for a bit but, after asking the management company I was told that we could get kick off the property if I violated the rule. It was not a big deal, but I will definitely not consider this ho.e as an option in the future.I can see how some may take advantage if a rule is not in place ,but they should also take into account that I asked about day visitors and the number which was 2..well it is the owners rules and they have no choice bit, follow them.

The pictures do not do justice to the beautiful home! This place was also way bigger than expected and perfect for multiple families. We utilized every space and spent a majority of our time outside fishing. The kitchen had EVERYTHING we needed for our Thanksgiving stay! We plan on returning again next year.

Nice little getaway

Super cute house on the lake! Everything was clean and we were able to cook/grill easily with the supplies they had in the kitchen. There was ample space and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the pool table. Communication was great as well. When we went the lake was at 60% capacity so the kids were able to fish and skip rocks. Overall, we’d visit again!

Great Family Getaway!

We had a great stay in this hill country house. The views are amazing and the sunsets are gorgeous. And every night after sunset we had a group of deer come up to hang out by the back deck. The house had all the supplies we needed. The house needs some updates, but we would still come back again!!

We have rented vacation rentals many times before, and this is the cleanest we have ever seen. Everything you would need was already there. The view is amazing. Deer at your back porch every day. The property feels secluded but is only 10 minutes away from CVS and grocery store. It was one of the most relaxing vacations we have had. We are already talking about staying at the Blue Diamond Retreat again.
