Ideal for family reunions, weddings, birthday parties, work retreats and more, this stunning estate sleeps 38 & can accommodate more for daytime events. This gated resort is packed with indoor & outdoor amenities, including pool & spa. Enjoy strolls along the meandering, tree-shaded walkways throughout the property & down to the lake.

A part of the Lone Star State’s famous Hill County region, Paradise Resort is situated on the shores of gorgeous Lake Buchanan, one of the six lakes in the Texas Highland Lakes area. If you’re lucky, you might spy a bald eagle soaring across the water, as several pairs have been known to nest nearby.

It is a fantastic place to have a family Reunion. So many thing they have to offer. Only thing that was a little uncomfortable was there were maintenance people on the property at random times throughout the day.

Great American Eclipse 2024
Paradise at Lake Buchanan was amazing. Tons of space to spread out, so many things to do, and the moon completely covered up the sun on April 8th 2024!!! Music was playing when we arrived, all the amenities were in good condition, it was everything we hoped it would be. Great for family/friends/kids. I would 100% recommend a stay!

Beautiful!
This was our third stay at this property. It is gorgeous! The grounds and pool are amazing! It is a fantastic place for a big group. We were very pleased to find that they added two private bedrooms and a bathroom to the smaller house. All the other bedrooms have 2-4 queen beds, plus some have twins. We will be back!

The property was very clean and David, the maintenance man, was on the ball! He called a couple of times to check on us and came by each morning to empty trash. We had a large group, 24 adults, there was lots of room and plenty of things to keep them all busy! The pool is larger than it looks! All our group wants to come back!

Great friends getaway
We stayed at the paradise hill country resort with four big families and had a great time. The outdoor setup can’t be beat. There are so many places to hang out with plenty of shade. The pool stays cool even in the Texas heat and the lake is a quick walk even when it is way down. We had plenty of room without using the loft, but if you are planning on needing those beds be aware it is disconnected from the other houses without a bathroom and feels more like a closed in attic. The hosts were quick to respond and the on-site team were quick to handle any issues we had. We’re already planning to stay again next year.
