For, if you choose to accept it, the magic is ready for you.
Friendly tip: Drive SLOWWWWW through the neighborhood. Why? Deer gangs. Think of Outsiders, but with deer. Big deer, little deer. Baby deer. Everywhere. If you love animals, this is a beautiful greeting. If you don't, what wrong with you?
Three bedrooms, two baths. There were five of us. We fit great. We're guessing the place is about 1300 square feet, beautifully planned. You immediately feel like you're not so much in a vacation home, but in your own home, had you made better choices in life.
The deck -- big, outdoor grill and tv, big table. Find the birdseed! Cardinals, hummingbirds, sparrows. The local squirrel. Two cats showed up at dusk. "Hi, we're the cats."
Basketball, ping pong table, karaoke machine (one can be too drunk for karaoke -- rare but true)
The view of the lake is beautiful. The lake itself, beautiful. The day we went out on the boat it was emerald in color. It's about a two hundred yard walk down to the water and was the perfect temperature. Canyon Lake can be windy -- we pretended we were in an ocean.
Definitely check out Wildflour restaurant. Definitely go tubing -- river is very cold because it comes out of the deepest part of Canyon Lake. Definitely rent a boat.
The host was responsive and kind. The deer had attitude. The cats were in it for the food.
All in all, one of the most magical trips we had. We would say we'll back, but we never actually left. They just haven't found us yet.
