If you’re lucky, you might spy a bald eagle soaring across the water, as several pairs have been known to nest nearby.

Mini Resort

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.

Great American Eclipse 2024

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 were very pleased to find that they added two private bedrooms and a bathroom to the smaller house. All the other bedrooms have 2-4 queen beds, plus some have twins. We will be back!

Great friends getaway

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.
