Beautiful amenities with all the extracurricular activities you need to keep everyone busy!! Would recommend. Host was very responsive to needs throughout the stay.
Imagine having a mini-resort all to yourself! So many amenities and activities and plenty of space for large groups and extended families. Very relaxing and unique property. Highly recommend.
Beautiful property! Host was very quick and helpful for anything that came up. Property was as expected and more. The only thing was in the loft was only 3 twin beds instead of 4. Would stay again!
Amazing property, the pictures do not do it justice. This place has everything you need for a great lake get away. So much room for everyone, and the best amenities I have seen at any property in the Buchanan/lake LBJ area.
We stayed with a large group of extended family. We had kids under 1 to grandparents and teenagers in between and everyone loved it. We will be back next year. The place is beautiful and clean.
My family loves this place! We've held our reunion there two years in a row and hope to continue having our reunions there! Once you have arrived there is no reason leave until checkout. With the lake, the pool,pickelball court, basketball court and the covered deck you have fun all day.
We love this property for our large group of family and friends of all ages. The owners are taking such good care of it and continue to make upgrades and improvements. We'll be back!
What a beautiful place for a large family to celebrate Christmas! 80degree weather helped make it perfect. We took advantage of all the amenities. Little kids loved the heated pool with adults favoring the hot tub.Had pickleball tournaments, ping pong tournaments, basketball games. We have 2 chefs that loved all the outdoor kitchens. The indoor main kitchen made food prep easy with space for many working in the kitchen. Had some canoe races and some of the guys took an invigorating cold plunge….and warming in the sauna and steam room. Would also like to thank the host for a lovely decorated Christmas Tree. So many treasured memories made. We will be returning and recommending to others!Thanks again,Ginger
This was our second stay at this property, and enjoyed it so much. Plenty of room for lots of people, well equipped, and tons of entertainment.
We’ll be back!
We have rented paradise resort home for friends annually gathering, such a gorgeous well maintained property, kitchen was well stocked with all we needed to prepare food, outdoor and indoor facilities was clean and well maintained.
The property is stunning and the pictures do not lie! The hosts are so responsive and very helpful. It was a fantastic experience and would book again in a heartbeat!
Great impression of the property as we walked in. It was perfect for our family. The pool was awesome! The kitchen is large and very accommodating. It’s a great place!
