Chef Jeff Blank of Hudson's on the Bend Restaurant's beautiful rustic Santa Fe style home with a stunning view of Lake Travis.

Enjoy the lake view while lounging around the pool. The covered patio bar is well furnished for comfortable lollygagging and there is a bathroom and shower in the pool/bar area for your convenience.

This house was built for a chef by a chef with well stocked indoor and outdoor kitchens. Dinner with no dirty pots and pans, grill your steaks and veggies on the outdoor grill. Or you can make use of the indoor range if indoor cooking is more your style.

You have the choice to dine inside or outside as there are tables in both locations.

The entirety of the house facing the lakeside is floor to ceiling windows so you won't miss any sunsets.

Sleeping accommodations are for 8 people.

The master bedroom has a king sized bed. It has it's own private toilet and shower/tub room.

The family room has a sleeper sofa with a comfortable queen sized bed. This room also has a half bath.

The guest house has a queen sized bed in the bedroom and a sitting room with a queen sized sleeper sofa. The guest house rooms are separated by a full bathroom and can be closed off for privacy.

There are many common sitting areas for together time.

This is a gated property on 2 acres abundant with wildlife i.e. grey fox, armadillos, deer, skunk, raccoons, possums, owls, turkey, tortoises and croaking bullfrogs in the ponds.

The property is a compound of houses. Jeff and Sara, the owners, live in a house set apart from the rental property. Sara's brother, Gordon lives in a Tiny Home in this same area.

Rest assured the property is yours and we will not be underfoot. However, we will be accessible for any questions or needs.

This is a unique and visually stunning property for a family vacation.

    What a gem! Such a beautiful and unique home. The hospitality of the host was wonderful. The pool and outdoor area was an oasis. We had a beautiful and relaxing time here. If I could give this review a million stars, I would. We will be back!!!

    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.

    Amazing, and just what we needed. We skipped the beach this year because my kids really just love the pool. Bringing the dogs was a HUGE plus. We were there for 5 days and discovered something new every day.

    We celebrated Thanksgiving with our adult children and two young grandchildren. The house and property are amazing! The house is well thought out, beautifully decorated, clean and views are gorgeous. The beds and pillows in every room beds were very comfortable. The kitchen had everything needed to cook and eat thanksgiving dinner. Sara the host is so welcoming! The refrigerator was stocked with juices for the kids, water, sparkling water, beer and wine. The pantry was well stocked. She provided family games, toys and children’s books for our stay. Every room was adorned with fresh or silk flowers. She ensured the beds were set up to accommodate our group. Ample firewood was provided for both indoor and outdoor fire places. She was easy to communicate with and responded quickly when we had questions. Our family enjoyed the outdoor spaces including the playground and trampoline. There was enough room for everyone to have there own space and common spaces were large enough and comfortable enough for us all to be together. I really feel my words are not doing justice to this truly magical property and amazing host. The whole family wants to spend time here again. We are beginning to plan our next trip to visit in the spring or early summer.

    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!

    The weekend our friends spent at this house was truly unmatched! Sarah and Jeff went above and beyond readying the house for our stay and we had the absolute best time. We can’t wait to return to this property for future trips!

    We had a great vacation. We loved the property! The home was better than expected. Great living spaces and super clean and organized. My family was so comfortable and happy. Amazing kitchen and large comfortable living room. Fantastic pool area including a covered bar/meeting area with a toilet and pool shower. A real difference maker was the attention to detail of the host. Too many details to mention but a few examples are restaurant recommendations, Roku instructions, snacks, drinks, condiments, pool floats, kid pool toys, games, toys, carts, etc. The host was also super responsive to any questions or help we might need. I would definitely book this property again.

    Excellent location and accommodations. Sara was easy to work with and answered all of our questions. We were able to take our fur babies with us which made the 4 day stay so much more memorable and easier on all of us. The private swimming pool was delightful in light of the heat and each sleeping area gave the occupant(s) their own privacy when the day was over. It is obvious that they love their home and want to keep it in top condition for each visitor. We will book it again. Thank you Sara!
