Relaxation and fun at its BEST

This is the PERFECT lake compound for large families and friends! Loads of space for relaxing or playing in the pool, hot tub, or hanging on the dock.

You won’t want to leave but if you decide to hit Lake Travis. There are several local boat rentals, google "boat rental near Hudson Bend" for a full list. The property has a 1 slip dock for guests, but one can tie up to 2 more boats on sides as long as you have bumpers. Boat ramp works well for lake levels above 672. LCRA has public ramps available to launch boats over 28 feet (or if lake level is below 670). Pool canyon cove has water for lake levels above 630 feet, which is almost always full.

Check LCRA for current lake levels. As of January 1, 2024, our cove is dry.

We have abundant luxurious space for families and friends. 1+ acre of land and spacious 5000+ sq feet of living space. Dining seats 12, Beds for 18 guests. Spacious deck with table for 6. Large ground floor patio. Shade trees all around. Set up your own volleyball or other outdoor games. Swim, boat or just hang out on the dock.

Great house off Lake Travis

Had a great time at the house. Huge space with lots of bedrooms. Fun game room and an amazing pool. Had an issue with a leak in the bottom floor ceiling, but Paula sent someone right over to fix it after I notified her of the issue.

The best stay for a group celebrating a bride to be!

We had an amazing stay at this property! Communication with Paula was exceptional and she was so accommodating to our requests. She also provided amazing recommendations and was very responsive throughout our stay. The house was the perfect fit for a large group of women with plenty of space for getting ready. The pool was heated our entire stay. We loved spending time on the patio and outdoor areas. We took a short 5 minute drive to the marina for an awesome boat day. The kitchen was fully stocked to prep and serve an abundance of meals. The home offered a ton of fridge space for food and beverages. Highly recommend booking with Paula! Would absolutely love to return in the future!

Very Spacious

The property had a lot of space for our group of 11. We enjoyed the pool and outdoor amenities. Paula was very responsive to all of our needs and checked in throughout the stay. The only downside was that it was a little difficult to get an uber and we had to schedule ubers in advance. Overall, we had a lovely time!

Great stay!

I stayed here with a group of friends for a bachelor party. The house was huge and had lots of things to do. The lake’s water level was really low, make sure to check before so that it’s not a surprise. Overall, we had a blast and this place is awesome! Paula was great and communicated well.
