We had an amazing time with our friends. They really had everything you needed to have a great weekend. The property was clean and looked better than the pictures.
Overall we had a wonderful time at this property. It was spacious, clean, and had tons of activities. My only comment would be that it is very far from Austin and the listing doesn’t reflect that accurately.
Paradise Resort is a beautiful property right on Buchanan Dam. The grounds are spectacular and much larger then the photos do it justice. The pool is beautiful. All the family had a great time.
We had a team annual meeting at this property which provided a fantastic retreat for ten of us to reconnect and launch our 2023. Having good close food options and a great grilling setup along with fun evening settings at the fire pit was a wonderful experience.
This was really a resort. It was an absolutely fantastic stay. We went through the gates at this property and were in shock! It had a great yard, pool, volleyball court, outdoor barbecue, everything we needed. We especially loved all the little things like all the fresh towels, k-cups, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. Plus the steam room and sauna. We were spoiled! Loved this place and would recommend to anyone.
It was awesome! we had an amazing time with the family, it was perfect it had enough rooms, beds, and bathrooms for our 34 people, kitchen was big enough for the ladies to cook big meals. the gazebo was great with all the grills, we did a lot of cooking outdoors. Swimming pool and spa was in use every day. Took a lot of pictures for memories and the view of the outdoors was so pretty. We will be back, we loved it! :)
This house was really well equipped for groups. We were there with a multi generational family group. Bbq area and patio seating were amazing, e we enjoyed relaxing and looking at the view of the water. We loved the big grass area for games and relaxing. We had a few things break and not work while we were there and they were very quick to fix any issues. The little loft area didn’t work out for us to use and the beds could be more comfortable but other than that, everything was perfect! Would definitely stay again with a large group.
Everyone was impressed with the property. Lots of activities and a whole lot of different ways to cook for a fair size gathering. Lots of fridge and freezer space too.
Update needed to the floor plan layout. It isn’t quite accurate. Host very responsive to questions.
This property exceeded our expectations, the host were so wonderful and responsive and the photos truly don’t do it justice if we have the pleasure to stay here again we 100% will!
Lovely resort like property, plenty of space both inside and out. Easy to gather our group all together in the main room with plenty of seating as well as multiple areas to get away from everyone in case you need some alone/quiet time
Amazing resort-like home for our friend gathering. We were able enjoy the grounds all weekend to reconnect in both smaller groups and as an entire party.
Place is in great shape and the one minor thing needing addressed was accomplished in 15 minutes. Overall an excellent choice to entertain your family or group of friends.
We had a wonderful time. The facilities are great for a large gathering. Management was extremely responsive and the place is well maintained. We have several retreaters planning to stay at Paradise on their own!
My family recently stayed on this property and highly recommend it. The property has so much to do with volleyball, ping pong, pickle ball, basketball, pool tables, swimming, and lake access. All the rooms were great, and the kitchen was big. The coffee setup was great in the mornings. The outdoor living space was awesome including all the grills to cook. We will definitely look to try to come back.
Property was well maintained. Everything worked properly. Enough of Everything we needed, didn't have to worry about anything.

Delightful place for family gathering. Price has risen a lot during last year but still worth it. Most of the gas fired grills did not work and need to be repaired. This was disappointing as most everything else was in good repair.
Lots of outdoor amenities. Property is very well taken care of, with the property manager/staff on the grounds daily cleaning and performing general maintenance. Owner and staff were very accommodating, and responsive. The owner provided his cell phone number and always responded within a matter of minutes. Kitchen is well stocked with just about anything you could need. The only exception being the can opener - it needs to be replaced. 10/10 would recommend this property
Beautifu, immaculate property and site. Having 2 separate kitchens in the mornings a real plus.. So mmany things to do, or we could just relax. All 18 of us liked it so much we've re-booked for next year.
Absolutely gorgeous houses and outdoor kitchen. Huge! Plenty of space for our crowd. Lighting was bright and kitchen was spacious and well-equipped. Recommended that a pitcher or two be added plus food storage containers. We enjoyed our stay immensely! Thanks to the grounds keepers Monce and her hubby and to David for their kind assistance with details.
