Just some of the local options - beach, swimming pool, fishing, hunting or just a simple relaxation while taking in all nature has to offer. There's something for all! This is truly a beautiful home with a lot of space to enjoy making memories with your family and friends. Some local activities to do are fishing, swimming pool, local beach, hunting, hiking trails, tennis/basketball courts, and much more.

2025 Family Vacation Nice property with great accomodations. Drawbacks included the fee schedule, lack of baking pans (muffin tins & 9x13 pan), small kitchen with small microwave & dishwasher, & lateness of stay confirmation which affected some being able to get off work. High points included well stocked bathrooms, game room, nice firepit, 3 bathrooms, 4 comfortable bedrooms.

Perfect Apple Canyon Lake location We’ve stayed here a couple of times now. It’s perfect for our group! Lots of beds/space. Great game room in garage and a nice firepit. We love it!

Nice home. Overall, a nice roomy and comfortable home. Game room is a plus and a big hit for kids of all ages! Finished basement is large and good to spread out the group. Would like to see maybe bunk beds in the basement as the trundle bed in one upstairs bedroom makes the room too tight to move around. Kitchen seemed to have adequate supplies. Bathrooms definitely need more washcloths and towels as another reviewer had mentioned. We had to buy a pack of washcloths to use during our stay. Master bathroom has a walk-in shower. Electric seemed to be kind of funny in some areas of the house. Lights would blink occasionally. To correct this we had to flip the switch up hard and it stopped the blinking most of the time. Maybe it’s the kind of lightbulbs used? Location was quiet and area is nice to take a walk. Sitting areas outside are relaxing to view the wildlife.

Spacious beautiful home! The home has a great setup for lots of friends and family to join for a fun get away. The games in the garage are a huge plus for something fun to do while not out sight seeing or doing other activities that the area has to offer.

Great place for family fun! Perfect location and well appointed home. Truly enjoyed the game room in the garage, the additional space down stairs, and the fire pit out back. It’s just a short ride to the golf course, lake, and amenities but secluded enough to feel out of the way. Would definitely recommend!
