Pets are allowed
Yes, we welcome doggies, with acceptance of these doggie house rules:
1. Not permitted on indoor/outdoor furniture or beds
2. Must be crated when not with owner
3. Not to be left unattended
4. The cleaning fee does not include the picking up of pet waste around the 5 acres of grass
5. The white bath towels and striped pool towels are not to be used for doggie messes
6. No scratching at the glass doors
Disclaimer: Bring doggies at own risk, given the doggie house rules.
Recently, we had a guest’s dog create $500.00 in damages. An invoice was sent, from the contractor, so the guest could see what we had to pay in repairs. That damage was from her dog chewing/biting a door and door frame.
Overall, our guests with doggies are very respectful of our house rules. And we’ve also had guests tell us they aren’t bringing their doggies because they can’t keep them off of furniture and their doggies don’t like to be crated. This is why we offer the disclaimer: Bring your doggies at your own risk. If house rules are followed, there shouldn’t be an issue.

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.
WHATS 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 nights sleep.
The exquisite experience includes the following:
💠 Private resort-style pool+ waterfall (heated Oct-May)
💠 Four 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.
