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!
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.
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!
This property was great for our company getaway.
There was plenty of room for everyone. We are sad that we did not truly enjoy all the outdoor activities due to the weather. Would definitely stay here again during the summer!
6 families with 28 people total. Something to do for everyone even in the colder winter months. We had a blast and loved spending time with each other. Will definitely have to come back in the summer so we can participate in the lake activities
This property exceeds our expectations every time because it is fully equipped and maintains all of our party entertain. We keep coming back to this gem, it is a mini resort with plenty to do for all ages. On this last visit we enjoyed the latest improvements to the main house especially the spacious kitchen and dinning area, so most of our meals were taken indoors - there was no need to fight the flies.
Hosted a work retreat/offsite, space was perfect, communication is excellent, onsite staff is very helpful. I look forward to renting this property again. We did not use the loft room that you can only access from the outside.
Paradise at Lake Buchanan was amazing. Tons of space to spread out, so many things to do, and the moon completely covered up the sun on April 8th 2024!!! Music was playing when we arrived, all the amenities were in good condition, it was everything we hoped it would be. Great for family/friends/kids. I would 100% recommend a stay!
We stayed at the paradise hill country resort with four big families and had a great time. The outdoor setup can’t be beat. There are so many places to hang out with plenty of shade. The pool stays cool even in the Texas heat and the lake is a quick walk even when it is way down.
We had plenty of room without using the loft, but if you are planning on needing those beds be aware it is disconnected from the other houses without a bathroom and feels more like a closed in attic.
The hosts were quick to respond and the on-site team were quick to handle any issues we had. We’re already planning to stay again next year.
This is the third year we have stayed at this property. We had a large group of 32 family members, ranging in ages from 2 to 70. We always have such a wonderful time together. The property is amazing with every amenity you can think of right at your fingertips. From the entertainment center to the well equipped kitchen, no detail has been overlooked. There is a lot of space to spread out and plenty of gathering spaces to hang out together as well. No one ever feels crowded. The pool and cabana area are fantastic. The owners are always very quick to respond if you should need anything at all. Everything is very clean and comfortable. We love it here. Thank you for sharing your property with us.
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.
