Happy Laurie | Private Lake Retreat • Hot Tub • Fire Pit
Welcome to Happy Laurie, your Hill Country escape where relaxation and adventure come together. Perched atop Canyon Lake, this charming three-bedroom retreat sleeps six and now features a brand-new private hot tub and spacious wood-burning fire pit — perfect for unwinding under the Texas sky. From sweeping sunrise and sunset views on the wrap-around deck to peaceful evenings soaking in the hot tub or gathering around the fire, this home was designed to help you slow down, reconnect, and savor the beauty of Hill Country living.
Now featuring a brand-new 6-person hot tub, your stay just got even more relaxing. Enjoy adjustable jets, multi-color underwater LED lighting, a soothing waterfall feature, and an intuitive digital control panel — perfect for unwinding after a day on the lake. Just steps away, gather around the wood-burning fire pit, complete with eight Adirondack chairs and a cooking grate for casual outdoor meals and unforgettable evenings under the stars.
Inside, you’ll find a bright, inviting layout with two king bedrooms, a double twin bedroom, and 2.5 bathrooms for plenty of comfort. In the primary suite, you’ll find two plush robes for added luxury. A downstairs flex space can be used as an office, yoga studio, or kids’ recreation room, making it perfect for families, groups, or remote workers who want a change of scenery. The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need for cooking, and the outdoor propane grill makes dining al fresco a breeze. After a day on the lake, rinse off in the outdoor shower before gathering together on the deck to share stories of the day — now with the added warmth and glow of the fire pit or a relaxing soak in the hot tub.
Happy Laurie is stocked with extras to make your stay memorable, including paddleboards and bikes for guest use. The property is fully fenced, giving families peace of mind, and the home offers fast Wi-Fi for work or play.
