      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 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.

      Best amenities and extras!
      This house was so well stocked for everything we could possibly need - from extras in the kitchen to cribs for babies, to bikes and toys for the kids. The pool is gorgeous and we spent most of our time there. It was spacious and SO quiet. Lots of space for our families to spread out. Unfortunately the lake levels were low so the dock area was not usable at all but we did a boat rental right down the street to enjoy what’s left of the lake! Thank you for a wonderful stay!

      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 Spot
      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.

      Excellent Location and Stay!
      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. The owner was an absolute pleasure to deal with, and extremely prompt in responding. Could not be happier with my property choice and would certainly recommend it to others. Thank you! Aaron

      Don't assume this house is on the lake
      Renters need to make sure to check the lake levels before assuming this house is on the lake (if that's why you are booking the house). When we visited August 2023 there was no water in the canal (not a little, none) so the house was not on the lake and not very close to the lake. This was a surprise to us. Communication with property manager was very good - responsive, etc. Convenient location, ~45 minutes from the airport. House was relatively clean when we arrived. Great pool. Neighborhood was a mix of nice houses and trailer homes. Yard could have been cleaned up better (industrial trailer and other equipment parked behind the pool, etc.)
