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.

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. Would stay again.

Nice House for Large Groups
Had a nice stay and Paula was communicative to questions that came up. The house handles large groups well. Note that the cove is fully dry and there isn’t any lake access.

Great Friends' Weekend Getaway
I stayed here with a group of 13 guys and we had a great weekend. The house was set-up well for big groups with a well-stocked kitchen, activities including a pool table, a ping pong table, and a foosball table, along with the pool and good common areas for hanging out. Paula was a great host and communicated with us throughout the stay to make sure we had everything we needed. We would definitely stay here again. The only bummer was the water level at the lake was a lower than expected, but it didn't detract from a great weekend. We would definitely stay there again.

Great spot, big clean house. Only issue is Lake Travis was down 50+ feet so no access to water. I would confirm water levels if youre looking for direct acess to Lake Travis.

Great house, plenty of room, pool is great. As other reviewers have mentioned due to the low water level of the lake, the boat dock is unusable for any water activities. We did rent a boat at a nearby marina for a day so we could enjoy the lake.

We stayed here in mid September 2023 and it was an absolutely being property. All who stayed were very impressed with the amenities, the location, and ease of access to nearby entertainment.

Best property I've ever stayed at!
This property checked every box our group was hoping for AND some. The perfect residence for our friend group reunion. Super clean, up to date, spacious, and aesthetically beautiful, I couldn't find one complaint about this listing. Mrs. Paula was responsive in a VERY timely manner and we couldn't ask for a better host. 10/10 recommend.
