Retreat from the busy city to this luxurious and secluded Hill Country getaway. Fancy Like at Canyon Lake is a daylight-filled, entertainment-focused, and spacious experience with resort-like outdoor living and sought-after entertaining spaces. Situated on five private acres, down a gated driveway, surrounded by bedding deer, and within five minutes of Canyon Lake. Location can’t be beat!
WHATS IT LIKE TO STAY HERE?
Imagine a high-end resort, with a fully-equipped kitchen, yet completely private and gated, where no one can see you. No need to pay 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:
✔ Resort-style heated pool+hot tub
✔ 3 king bedrooms
✔ One-story home + pool railing
✔ Convenience to grocer and restaurants
✔ Flexible early check in
✔ Gated parking for 5+ 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
✔ Fire pit + fireplace
✔ Magical outdoor evening ambiance with string lights
✔ Elegant holiday decor
✔ 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 has been added over the hot tub. October - April the pool is heated to 87 degrees. No fee to heat the pool.
4-BEDROOM LAYOUT
We like big beds and we cannot lie!
#1 - King
#2 - King
#3 - King, Queen, Folding Portable Crib (in a spacious room)
#4 - Queen, Full, Full, Full/Full bunk
(Bedroom 4 is a large space, separated into three private sleeping areas; each area with own curtain, fan, lamp, and dresser or clothing rack)
ONE-STORY MAIN HOME
Step-free access from kitchen to living rooms, bedrooms, and bathrooms. Enjoy the one-story open floor plan. Guests specifically choose Fancy Like so friends and family with mobility challenges can enjoy a spectacular experience without missing a beat. Slip-resistant mats in each shower. Even a handrail to enter the pool.
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.
HASSLE-FREE SECURED PARKING + GARAGE
5+ large Texan vehicles are easily accommodated with pull through covered and uncovered gated parking.
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 all-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 MAMAS LIFE EASIER
She doesnt 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.
HIGH-END COFFEE STATIONS
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. Its all about the little things.
