About this property

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.

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.

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!

About the host

Hosted by Paula Shriver

I love working with people! For the past 25 years I have helped people find housing for their enjoyment. Our goal is to provide a safe fun home for relaxing and enjoyment! I love decorating and creating a fun atmosphere for all guests.

Why they chose this property

If you have a large family or group, you probably wont fit anywhere else on the lake. This house is the perfect get away for family reunions or corporate outings. However, we do have a strict noise ordinance as we do have neighbors that we do not want to be disturbed.

Yard is xeri-scaped with wide variety of flowering plants, trees. Lots of birds, deer, squirrels, sometimes even a fox visits.

Pool Canyon Cove is one of few deep water coves on Lake Travis. The whole cove is no wake zone (boats idle through). Main body is a minute away and you can go skiing or boating while everyone can swim at the house in safety. This cove is the perfect spot for kayaking or paddle boarding. Feel free to bring your own.

The home is 30 minutes form downtown Austin, with shopping and restaurants 5 to 10 minutes away.

What makes this property unique

You won't find another home that accommodates large families on Lake Travis.
Invite the entire family but don't worry about being crowded in one home. This house has plenty of areas for your own peace and enjoyment. Sit on one of the outside decks and stare at the lake or wander down to the dock (about 75 yards) and enjoy the peaceful lake.
We strive to please all ages!
