This property was MADE for large group gatherings! Probably the best equipped kitchen I’ve ever seen in a rental with regards to spices, pots and pans, kitchen utensils, plates and glassware.
This property is exactly as described! Perfect for big groups or families. We had a pontoon boat pick us up from our dock which was very convenient. Would definitely stay there again.
Really enjoyed our stay. Plenty of space and beds for 15 people. Lots of fridge space, great pool area. It was 95 all weekend but the outdoor area did not feel overly hot. Paula was very responsive to any communication. Would stay here again.
Overall great house for a bachelor party. There is a lot of space for everyone to spread out, pool and ping pong table were awesome to have, the pool was a perfect temperature. Host was very responsive. Only downside was that the lake in that area is dried up, so you can’t swim in the lake.

As crazy as it sounds, the cove now has 20 ft of water in it due to the recent rains in the last 2 weeks. Lake Travis is back!!!
Big, nice house perfect for a long weekend with friends. Everything was clean, organized, easy to use with tons of on property stuff (pool, pool toys, deck, lounge areas). Had a great time!

We really enjoyed the house! The pool, ping pong table, pool table, and large living room were great and the dock/swing on the water were super fun too!

Enjoyed relaxing outside in the pool on the hot Austin afternoons. Nice location - close enough to Austin so you could be in the city with a short drive.

We did a girls weekend here in May and had the best time. Paula was very helpful. The house is HUGE and there are lots of amenities. Recommend for families, girls trips....
Big group of dudes visited for bachelor party. House was more than accommodating for feeding, sleeping and hanging out by the pool. Short drive to good local restaurants and to the marina on lake Travis for boating. Would definitely stay here again if we come back to the area
Had a great time at the house.
Huge space with lots of bedrooms.
Fun game room and an amazing pool.
Had an issue with a leak in the bottom floor ceiling, but Paula sent someone right over to fix it after I notified her of the issue.
We had a bachelor party at the house, and it was perfect. Lots of room in the back for games, awesome bonfire pit as well. Easily slept 10 guys.

About the host
Hosted by Paula Shriver
I love working with people! For the past 25 years I have owned and operated multifamily and single-family housing. My goal is to provide a safe comfortable home for relaxing and enjoyment! I love hosting 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 from downtown Austin, with shopping and restaurants 10 to 20 minutes away.
What makes this property unique
Invite the entire family but don't worry about being crowded in one home. There are 5 king beds, 2 queen beds, 2 double beds, and 3 twin beds 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 lake. OUR NEW POOL IS SCHEDULED FOR COMPLETION MAY 2026🤞
