Rock Castle Dala Hus
Welcome to our Texas Hill County Canyon Lake vacation home. Dala Hus is nice. It has a modern kitchen, porches up and down, paved off-street parking, and privacy and quiet. The living room and bedrooms connect through wide sliding glass doors to porches. The master bedroom has a comfortable king-size bed. The master bathroom has a glass door walk-in shower and the house is tiled throughout.
The two guest bedrooms each have queen-size beds and connect via sliding glass doors to a large porch. The tiled bathroom has a walk-in shower. The upper and lower porches offer a nice view of the Triple Peak range; the view of the setting sun is spectacular.
Rock Castle Dala Hus at Canyon Lake, Texas is nice for retreats even with Canyon Lake being very low. Aside from the song birds chattering, Dala Hus is a good place to enjoy peace and quiet.

Solitude
I had three chairs in my house: one for solitude, two for friendship, three for society. Thoreau – Brontë
We enjoy the solitude of Dala Hus, the cedar-covered hills, sunsets over the Triple-Peak range, solitary walks on the Guadalupe River trails and more. We enjoy the songs of various migrating birds throughout the year. We have bird feeders and a hummingbird feeder.
Rock Castle Dala Hus is a good location convenient to New Braunfels with its Schlitterbahn Water Park, Gruene with its dance hall, Boerne, Bandera, and Austin. The giant outlet shopping mall in San Marcos on I35 is handy too.
The nearby small Canyon Lake towns of Sattler and Startzville we’ve found have most of what we need on a typical week end while staying at Dala Hus. For special dining menus and better selection we like the HEB on Texas 46 going towards New Braunfels. There is also a Brookshires on the north side of the lake. There is a nice farmers market on FM2722 on the way to HEB called Stahlmans at Bear Creek-Farm Stand and Pecans.
Our vacation home is called “Dala Hus” because the home has a Swedish – Scandinavian flavor; Haus would be the German spelling. We call it “Rock Castle” as well as Dala Hus because our vacation rental home is built on a rocky Texas Hill Country limestone outcropping.
