We stayed here for a family birthday weekend. We were very impressed with the house, the ambience the yard and the view! Sarah, the host was so accommodating and responsive! The house had everything that we needed and more. The beds were super comfortable we could not have asked for a better place. It is even better in person than the pictures. Hope to have an opportunity to stay again!

We had a magical time. It's hard to capture its true essence in pics! We never ran out of things to explore during our stay!!! Highly recommend. We traveled with our 3 children (ages 19,12 and 11). They all stayed in the casita which is just a few steps from the main house. The kids would play all day in the huge yard w swing and loved the chickens roaming the property! There is a gate that keeps the chickens from entering the house and back yard area. A must see!!! We will be back 100%!!!!
Beautiful backyard view of the lake.

Our Favorite Stay

We have been looking for a place to stay on Lake Travis for our party of 6 adults - this is it. The house is arranged perfectly for privacy of adults, while at the same time the main house is perfect for gatherings. We loved the view, accommodations, and the owner's attention to us was just as needed. I recommend this stay for anyone, and we plan to come back many times.

Best VRBO stay ever!

Have been staying at vacation homes since before VRBO, AirBnB and the like even existed and our stay at this dreamy hacienda on Hudson Bend was truly the best stay we've ever had anywhere, hands down! Beautiful property, thoughtful hosts and all the little touches that make a stay special. Thank you so much Jeff and Sara!

Bachelorette Weekend

Stay was 10/10, the space was perfect and had everything + more needed for a comfortable visit. Sara and Jeff were highly responsive and communicative from the time of booking through our stay, as well as accommodating to the needs of our party and sharing their chickens' eggs from the coop (yum!). The House has such a cozy/resort feel and is only 30 minutes from Downtown.

We had a wonderful stay at this property. The home was beautiful, spacious, and very comfortable for our group of 5. The photos online are excellent but don’t show all the wonderful things about the property, like the watch tower, which was a fun feature. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out, and we especially enjoyed the backyard and pool, which included an outdoor kitchen and had a lovely view of Lake Travis. Although the pool was undergoing routine maintenance during our stay, it never interfered with our ability to use it. The chickens on the property were a fun and unique touch!The villa is private and quiet; you don’t hear road noise, which we appreciated. Downtown Austin is roughly 30 minutes by car, depending on traffic, so the home provided a needed respite from the hustle and bustle of the city. Grocery stores and restaurants are within 10-15 minutes of the property. Our host was attentive, responsive, and genuinely wanted to make sure we had everything we needed. She was thoughtful to leave our snacks for our arrivals. It’s obvious she loves the property because it doesn’t feel like a house; it feels like home. The property is definitely a premium rental, but if you’re traveling with a group, the space, amenities, and overall experience make it worthwhile. Our group loved our time at the villa and I enjoyed chatting with the host as well. She’s just lovely. We would happily stay here again.

Our own resort

Hudson Bend Casa was an amazing place to spend quality family time and be away from the stresses of the world. It has it all - nice pool, great lake views, fantastic cooking areas both in and out, little casita for the kids and wonderful pride in ownership. We have stayed in many VRBO's over the years and this one is at the top of the list. Sara is a delight, extremely fast to respond and really wants you to relax on your stay. We are already looking forward to our return.

Beautiful resort like home!

We loved staying here! We felt like we were at a resort with the amazing home, views of the lake, swimming pool and outdoor spaces. Our host was very helpful getting everything ready for us before and during our stay. The indoor and outdoor kitchens were impressive and we enjoyed using them. The refrigerators were stocked with sodas, water, wine and beer. Every detail was perfect and thoughtfully done to make our trip fun and easy, relaxing and top quality. We would definitely stay here again!
