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.

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 five minutes of the beautifully blue lake. Location can’t be beat! An additional two-bedroom casita allows privacy for part of the group, in their own two-bedroom mini home with 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:
💠 Secluded resort-style heated pool and outdoor lounge area
💠 Two-bedroom guest house, with full bathroom + coffee station
💠 Four king bedrooms
💠 One-story home + pool railing
💠 Convenience to grocer and restaurants
💠 Flexible early check in
💠 5 fenced acres of green grass+mature trees
💠 Gated parking for 10+ vehicles + garage
💠 Shuffleboard, basketball half court, air hockey, foosball, croquet, ring toss, cornhole, kids toy room, (7) 4K TVs with Roku
💠 Incredibly fast WiFi
💠 Portable crib, (2) pack-n-plays, bassinet, changing table, high chair, step stool
💠 Magical outdoor evening ambiance w/ string lights
💠 Indoor/outdoor surround sound
🔥 RESORT-STYLE HEATED POOL 🔥
Soak in panoramic privacy from thick surrounding bamboo and arching live oak trees. The waterfall, with bench underneath, will take your mind off life for a while and make you feel you are indeed on vacation. (7) pool floats included and an impressive shade umbrella was added over the hot tub. Oct - Apr the pool is heated to 87 degrees, with no fee.

⭐ PRIME LOCATION ⭐
Less than a 5-minute drive from a pebble/sand swim beach, kayak/SUP rentals, 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 + 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. Go barefoot to feel the well-kept bright green 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.
🚼 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.

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. It's all about the little things.
