Great property with an awesome pool area. My family really enjoyed staying at this property. Great location to view the community firework show from the backyard. Enjoyed close golf, and easy trips to San Diego Zoo and Huntington Beach. Would recommend this property and plan to stay again due to close proximity of California relatives. Thanks John

Overall good stay, house could use some updating, but overall good stay, wife and I enjoyed hot tub one night, and enjoyed waking up to our view of Canyon lake.

This was a very comfortable home. The hot tub and pool were very nice. Our daughter appreciated having her own space downstairs. We had a great time cooking together in the spacious kitchen. We could tell that this owner cares about the property and is really diligent in making sure his guests are comfortable. My only slight complaint is that the couches need new foam. They were really squishy and not firm, making it hard to get up from the couch. Would stay there again, but we'll probably just buy a house in the area. Loved Canyon Lake!!!

Although the view is pretty and the pool is nice, this place needs some serious TLC. There wasn't any effort put in to presentation. There was trash on the side yard, there were hoses left out all over the place not even wrapped up. The patio looked like they started cleaning it, but left half way through as the chairs were all pulled out haphazardly away from the table and there was a broom and a mop left in the middle of the patio. The dishes in the drawers and cabinets were dirty with food still on them and the wall in next to the washer and dryer was disgusting. It didn't look like it had been wiped down since the place was built. My niece said "the place just gave her the creeps"... with a little effort this place could be presentable.

They say location, location, location is key…….So, this house is in a great location with beautiful views! The kitchen has been updated and looks nice with stainless steel appliances. But, I can’t say much more than that was good.
The house needs attention, DESPERATLY!!! I stayed in the master bedroom. The screen to the sliding door had a huge hole in it and was very weathered. The drain in the shower was basically sunken in and not even attached. A window in the upstairs bedroom was broken and had boxing tape over it to hold it together. The bed in the downstairs bedroom was broken, so it wasn’t even sitting on the slats, but half on the floor. The water heater control panel for the hot tub/pool was broken and laying on the ground, so you couldn’t possibly see how to operate it. Patio furniture had huge rips in them from sitting outside getting weathered. The living room furniture had holes and show signs of lots of use.
John, the owner sent me a rental agreement as i boarded my plane to fly out( a little late). It States you can’t have more than 10 people on a certain deck at the house and you are only allowed to heat the hot tub for 2 hrs/day. (Which should be stated in the description before booking.) However, since the display was broken it was unusable.
I did reach out to John after I got home to let him know of all the issues with the house. He did say he would reimburse us for the propane that we were allotted for the hot tub since we weren’t able to use it. However, that was weeks ago and I’ve seen nothing. John assured me that his prices as very reasonable for the area, which he most certainly would be, if the house wasn’t being neglected.
I am a huge review person myself, which is why I have posted mine. I don’t want others feeling like we did when we got there, which was shafted!

The views are wonderful. The pool and slide were so much fun, even for adults. The house is located within an hour of San Diego and LA (outside of rush hour traffic).
John was easy to work with and was responsive.
The house could use a thorough cleaning throughout, but all and all we enjoyed our stay in Canyon Lake.

Nice property for the cost. House could use some maintenance and a good cleaning. The stairs to the pool are steep. The view of the lake is amazing.
5.0
We stayed at this awesome house for almost a week before the kids headed back to school. It was a perfect change of pace. The kids had lots of fun in the pool - especially with the pool lights on after dark. The hot tub got a little more use by the adults.
House is just a short walk to the lake and we got to swim there and take advantage of some lake activities as well. Bring a paddle board or kayak if you can. Bring a couple of fishing rods too. We had an early morning fishing excursion but sadly saw more fish jumping than taking our bait.
The house is really big. Lots of beds and bathrooms - bunks for the kids and suites for the adults. AC worked like a charm, and they had a new Nest thermostat so no guessing. The owner also mentioned the house runs on 100% solar - so if clean energy is important to you, yet another reason to pick this spot.
We'll be back next year for sure - if not sooner.

We loved staying at John's Canyon Lake House. The house has a large open living space and amazing backyard (with west-facing views of the lake and sunset). We enjoyed exploring the beaches surrounding the lake and spending afternoons in the pool (note: VERY steep stairs leading down to pool). The house could use a bit of maintenance. We'd definitely recommend visiting! A perfect getaway from San Diego!
3.0
this is a great place but requires a little more maintenance than it gets. Most of the kitchen appliances doesn't work or malfunction. Issues with water valves in showers. One bed fell apart and sound system in the living room doesn't work. Ceiling fans make clicking sounds and shake at higher speeds so don't sit under. Stairs and hand rails that go down to the pool are a real hazard for children and slightly drunk people.

Such a great experience! A group of 8 of us stayed for 3 nights in John's AMAZING Canyon Lake Home! The location & home is a hidden gem that I 100% recommend. The house is well appointed and the amenities are great and John (the owner) is super helpful & responsive. There is plenty of room for a group to spread out, but also tons of great little areas to sit & feel at home. Note that the house is within a private community, so I recommend stocking up at the grocery store and getting all your essentials at once before you enter since the security line to get back in can get a little long, but besides that you feel super safe because security is tight. The pool / water slide and BBQ are great features (we spent most of our time outdoor) and the views from the deck are unbeatable! All the rooms & bathrooms were super clean & comfortable - I do recommend getting a few extra essentials like toilet paper, paper towels and laundry detergent (the house comes with it, but if you have a larger group, you might run out). It was a perfect staycation for our group, and have zero complaints and we will definitely be back! Thanks John for being a great host, we had a really fun time and you place is seriously amazing!

First of all I definitely want to say John was super responsive and a good communicator. Pool was fabulous and once I got the rhythm of heating hot tub and to then overflow and warm the pool a little my kids were in heaven. The views are spectacular and we enjoyed the firework show on the 4th a ton. Sadly I was a little underwhelmed by the interior of the home. The rooms and living areas are functional and adequate. The kitchen has a nice fridge as John has mentioned a number of times that he bought a couple years ago in previous replies. Inside Couches are super comfy and outdoor furniture is adequate for sure.However the beds, bedding, and just overall feeling is that the house hasn’t had a refresh in way too long. I’m not saying it was necessarily unfair for the price range it just could be so much better. Now I go back and look and many of the reviews about how great the home is and a good portion are from a number of years ago. Yes there are some recent excellent 5 star reviews but honestly I can’t do the same. Things just break down over time and need to be replaced. A good example is the bedding. It is fine and we weren’t roughing it or anything but for this price range newer sheets and blankets that aren’t just laying on the floor in the closet collecting dust in between guests is a reasonable expectation. I have two vrbo rentals both in nice higher end vacation spots in another state and we are very concerned about the beds and bedding and just general cleanliness of the house. Maybe that is just our preference but this is my only feedback for John. A little bit of updating could go a long way with this home...super locations and views lose their awesomeness when you don’t take care of the inside of the home too. There are several reviews that give you the same feedback but it appears that nothing has been done about it other than fridge and dishwasher. Carpet, paint, electrical outlets, beds and bedding, have all been mentioned years ago and I was hoping that would have been addressed. Other than that...great place and we were able to enjoy both San Diego and LA activities.
