Iceland - Tiny Islands Resort
We had a wonderful time! Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Hometown home
Great place with plenty of room. The place was very clean and well kept

Guest house in town! Blocks from square
This is such a peaceful and wonderful space! Serenity and Justin are THE best hosts. Everything that you could need is here! Their place is within walking distance of the center of town. There are many fun shops, great restaurants, and even a brewery. It is also short drive to Blanco State Park. We travel to Blanco every month. We wouldn't think of staying anywhere else!

Hunter Road Cabins # 1, Almost in Gruene!
Karen's place is conveniently located just minutes away from Gruene, but tucked away in the quiet country part of the area. This was great, cozy place for one or two people. Definitely worth the cost. Highly recommend.

The Farm House
The Farmhouse was delightful and like other reviews, the sunsets and sunrises were amazing! Travis was flexible accommodating, and vey responsive. Everything was perfect and we enjoyed the art in the farmhouse a lot.

Secluded 5-bedroom home in the Texas Hill Country
My family and I had a great time here. The location was perfect for what we wanted. The home is lovely, plenty of room for all of us. The kitchen had everything we needed, the bedrooms are spacious , and the play room had so much for my grand kids to enjoy.

Historic home in Dtn. Wimberley
We had a great stay at this charming cottage in a great location! The house is close to a fairly busy road (for Wimberley), but a surrounding fence makes it feel very private, & the walls are thick so you don't hear any traffic noise inside. It was raining so we didn't get to enjoy the outdoor seating area, but it was spacious & would be great to hang out in in better weather. The inside space was cute & comfy. The bedrooms are separated by the kitchen & living area so each feels quite private, & they each have their own bathroom & A/C, which made it a perfect place for two couples. The hosts were communicative & helpful - the house was stocked with many thoughtful extras, such as bags of chips, coffee pods, lots of throw blankets, nice soft robes, plenty of pillows and towels, etc., because of the rain they generously provided two large umbrellas in case we needed them, & when we asked if we could borrow an item we forgot, one of them was soon at our door to provide it. 4 thumbs UP

Your home away from home.
Absolutely fantastic place. Anytime I am in San Antonio, I will be staying here. I came into town for surgery and this place was so perfectly accommodating for that. The shower had a teeny tiny step to navigate getting in and out of. The recliner was perfect post op for sleeping in. Kitchen had every appliance you would need. Perfectly located for shopping or whatever else you may need. Don’t look anywhere else, this is your place!

A Creekside Farmhouse
My family and I had an amazing Christmas at this Farmhouse. Debbie's description of the house is very accurate, check in/out was a breeze and she made herself available to answer any questions we had. The beds were very comfortable, the bathrooms super clean and the kitchen had absolutely everything we needed to cook our meals. Thanks!

Lovely 3/2 Home-Texas State Tubes/Don's Fish Camp
The house and the yard was fantastic. It has a large kitchen, and living area . The sofa was so comfortable, nice and had plenty seating. I now want to go buy one just like it. The kids room was great. They had a tent with toys in which my 2 year old niece. The outdoor deck and fenced in yard was my favorite. My little corgi dog was so exited to run around and go stare at the cows and neighbors dog. There is a play scape/funhouse, tree swing , and a zip line. We got to see the cows in the back twice and they are beautiful . Amber left snacks for the kiddos by and keurig coffee supplies and tea. The beds were comfy and had soft quilts instead of thick comforters. Everything was very nice and clean and kid and dog friendly .

Gratitude & Grace Guest House
We had a great time. The location was perfect with a great yard for our dogs. The country atmosphere is just what we were looking for! The house is very comfortable with plenty of room. The bedrooms are a little small. But this is an older home so not surprising. We really loved having a large dining table and china cabinet for Thanksgiving Day. Felt very homey đź’•

Mojo Dojo, Bera's House
Mbera was an excellent host! Kind and thoughtful! The house was lovely with friendly neighbors. Very homey and convenient to restaurants and essentials! We will def stay here again!

Heated Pool | 2 Houses | Sleeps 16+ | Scenic Views
Our daughter got married at the Preserve Canyon Lake, our Air BnB was a great location for our event. We hosted our family and out of town guest and it was perfect!

Cattle House - Soak in the Texas Hill Country vibe
Very comfortable and quiet place to stay. Very convenient location.

Oaks Ranch - Home near Guadalupe River St. Park
This is a great place to stay. We have stayed in both houses and both are very nice and clean. We love the location!! It is very peaceful and serene with the sound of the fountain going in the fish pond. We think the animals roaming around add to the atmosphere of the place and are entertaining to watch and to feed. We love it and hope to stay there again in the future. Joey and Tammy Kimbrough. April 2025

Holland House at SMTX _ 1 mile to Square/Campus
Visiting San Marcos for a wedding and Sara's home was a great place to relax & come back to after attending activities. Slept SO WELL every night & we were grateful for the comfortable furniture and lovely kitchen. Bonus: the deer every night down at the end of the yard! They were so fun to watch and the home was quite lovely. I wish we had more time to hang out on the covered porch, but we were very happy with out choice to stay at Sara's home. Great location for getting around San Marcos & surrounding area. * We appreciated the extra touches like individual bathroom amenities & kitchen supplies. Although we grabbed some things at HEB, it was nice that we didn't have to think about every little thing. The host has thought of things you might need which is always appreciated even if we didn't need them.

Off the Hook Americana Getaway/on Guadalupe/pets
My wife and I went to the pickle festival at the fairgrounds, and this location was perfect. Could walk to the fairgrounds and downtown is a 5 minute drive. The condo was homey, clean, and perfect for our weekend getaway. Carrie was very friendly and responsive, couldn't ask for a better host. Highly recommend.

Restful Retreat at Lakeside Park
Very neat place! Feels like an upscale cabin on the inside, very roomy. The location is easy to get to and convenient to all of New Braunfels. I don’t normally care about furniture but it’s worth mentioning that their furniture was extremely comfortable. Easy check in and out. We would definitely stay again.

Hilltop Paradise! Valley View! King & Queen beds!
10/10 would definitely recommend! The hosts were quick and so easy to talk with, and the home was just absolutely gorgeous. The inside and outside gave such a great and unique impression that screamed “Welcome to Texas”, and the beds were so clean and comfortable. There wasn’t a single issue, and my group was very satisfied with everything. The location is perfect if you’re trying to get to San Antonio or Austin, and Canyon Lake is not from the property. It was a little chilly during my visit, but that didn’t stop me from enjoying my favorite part of the home, which was the balcony. It was relaxing and so tranquil, and each level had its only balcony. When I’m back in this part of Texas again, I will MOST CERTAINLY book again without hesitation!

Lakeside designer cottage w/ kayaks +gas fire pit
What a lovely little house! We brought our 2 kids, and the layout was great. Loved the sleeping porch, the location to the water, and the s'mores supplies at the ready. Tawnya and Jay sent us so many great recommendations in the area and were very responsive if we had any questions. Our faves from the weekend were The Gristmill, Gruene Hall and The Freiheit Country Store - great live music & atmosphere. Looking forward to coming back again!

Dockside Daphne ~ Rent our boat at the marina boat
Excellent stay with super responsive hosts! We especially loved the baby proofed space. All beds were super comfy. Such a beautiful home

Charming cabin on the Guadalupe river
While the house itself is small, as described, the outdoor space is the real highlight. The property is beautifully maintained and offers plenty of activities, including kayaking, paddle boarding, and cornhole. The deck overlooking the river is absolutely stunning, making it the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the view. Overall, a fantastic stay for anyone looking to enjoy the outdoors!

Hm w/IslandView-Kayak & GolfCart rental Available!
Delyn was managing our stay and she was a fantastic host! She brought my kiddos cookies from Crumbl for no reason. Just a surprise drop off then a text letting us know it was there. I asked for hangers, she went to Walmart and bought them, again dropping them off then texting letting us know they were there. The house was clean, organized and was easy to make it a home away from home.

Newly Renovated A-Frame with Private Pickleball
This is a must place to stay. It was really clean and lots of activities for us to do. We love the private pickle ball field. Rachel was really helpful and responsive when we need. We’d definitely love to stay here again

Your guide to Canyon Lake
Introduction
Tucked away in the Texas Hill Country on the Guadalupe River, Canyon Lake is all about water sports. Folks flock to cabins here to boat, swim, sail, parasail, scuba dive, fish, and more. No boat? No problem: Marinas and boat rental shops around the lake offer all manner of watercraft, including pontoon boats, ski boats, jet skis, and kayaks. Families and college students come to go tubing on the Guadalupe River, and anglers enjoy fishing for largemouth bass, catfish, and, at certain times of year, rainbow trout.
With 80 miles of shoreline, there’s plenty to do on land here as well. Picnic at one of the nine parks around the lake, three of which have beaches; tee off at a lakeside golf course; or hike some of the 31 trails in the area.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Canyon Lake
It gets hot in Hill Country! The summer months of June, July, and August are regularly around 100 degrees Fahrenheit, and the weather can get muggy. Since you’ll want to spend most of your time cooling off in and around the lake, be sure to pack your bathing suit, sunscreen, a hat, and a refillable water bottle. Spring and fall are drier and much more comfortable but can still be warm enough for water sports, with temperatures in the 70s and into the 80s. Winters are short, windy, and cool, with temperatures in the high 60s that can drop down into the high 30s, and you can expect regular, partly cloudy skies throughout the year.
Top things to do in Canyon Lake
Canyon Lake Gorge
Believe it or not, the Canyon Lake Gorge was created only about 20 years ago. A major flood in 2002 caused the lake to spill over its dam and into the Guadalupe River, creating the 64-acre gorge. Book a spot on a guided tour to visit the area’s waterfalls, lagoons, geologic formations, fossils, and dinosaur tracks.
Scuba dive
Canyon Lake may be a few hundred miles from the nearest ocean, but scuba divers still love to swim along the limestone bottom in search of fish and the occasional submerged car or boat. Rumor has it there’s an underwater ghost town here, complete with a church, post office, and cemetery. And while there were two small towns here before the lake was built, no diver has yet found a trace of them.
Heritage Museum of Texas Hill Country
Walk in the footsteps of dinosaurs — literally — at the Heritage Museum of Texas Hill Country on the southern shores of Canyon Lake. The museum displays around 350 dinosaur footprints in indoor and outdoor spaces, as well as exhibits highlighting Native American artifacts and antique farming equipment from early pioneers.
