  • Review 1 (2024-10-13 - Rating: 5)

    My boyfriend and I went for the weekend and it exceeded our expectations. I could write an essay about how great this place was, but I’ll just my top 3 favorite things about the Willow Point Resort:1. The hospitality was unmatched. I was looking for hot tea during the continental breakfast because of my horrible allergies and a staff member heard me and went to HEB the same day so that I could have some for the next morning. They also let us stay an hour later than check out, so that we could canoe one last time before hitting the road.2. There is so much to do on the lot. Tons of lawn game options, lots of water activities, and private beach areas.3. The cabins were clean, well equipped, and cozy! There were a few spider webs on the bed, we were a little concerned about, but nothing too crazy. It’s lake living, not the Hilton!I want to write more, just because of how great Gwen and her team were, but hopefully you make it out there yourself to experience it! Well worth the money and drive. We can’t wait to go back!

    This was not our first trip out to Willow Point but was one for the books for sure. Chartered a boat to fish for striper, and came home with 8 fish. The cabin was great as always. Love the rustic vibes. Will be back again soon!

    Beautiful and quite property. We really appreciated Gwen and Brians hospitality. We were looking for a quite getaway that had a family oriented environment. This place was absolutely the staycation we deserved away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

  • Review 4 (2024-06-26 - Rating: 5)

    We loved our time at Willow Point Resort. It is the perfect getaway from the big city. It is conveniently located close to all of the fun attractions in the area, and the lake is a blast to swim and paddle board/kayak in. The cabin was the perfect size with all the amenities needed. And Gwen and her staff were very accommodating and friendly. If your looking for a lake getaway, this place is perfect!

  • Review 5 (2021-10-26 - Rating: 5)

    The big cabin was perfect. Everything was exceptionally clean with tons of nice beds, bathrooms were immaculate, its spacious and well equipped for a group. We loved the fire pit and the outside activities like horseshoes and cornhole were a great bonus! The lake is located just short walk across the lawn and the view is spectacular. Also, the big pecan tree was a monarch stopover spot on their migration route, so there were hundreds of butterflies roosting and flying around. Highly recommend!

    Went here last week with my father and siblings. It is a nice family oriented place. Quiet and beautiful. The cabins are well furnished and directly on the lake. You can rent all manor of things for the water, but the rentals are a bit high. Has a common area for fires and several games to play.

  • Review 7 (2023-08-15 - Rating: 5)

    My family of 6, rented a cabin at Willow Point on Jul 22-Jul 26, 2023. We have 3 toddlers and we all had a blast. The cabins were VERY clean. I met Bryan and Gwen who were both warm, welcoming and accommodating. We stayed in cabin 9, which has a beautiful and eccentric tree outside of it. With me being a tree hugger, it was beautiful and peaceful. The lake was amazing and comfortable. Highly recommended.

  • Review 8 (2022-07-31 - Rating: 5)

    Updated 7/30/22-Since my original post our family has returned to Willow Point every summer since. We take advantage of being able to reserve the same block of time the following year before checking out. As our family has grown, we now book the Lake House. The cabins are great, but now that we have 15-20 ish people the lake house just makes more sense. We love all the seating areas and privacy the lake house offers. We have everything we need in one spot. Gwen and Bryan are responsive, welcoming, and ensure you have a comfortable stay. We usually rent jet skis and this year we added on the pontoon boat and kayak. It was all very easy to reserve.Our family loved our time at Willow Point Resort. We chose to stay in the cabins by the lake. We swam, fished, canoed, relaxed, grilled, and rented a boat for one of our days there. We never had to pack up our belongings and haul it somewhere because the lake is right there. The owners came by a couple of times as well and were very kind and helpful. We already booked our vacation for next summer! Highly recommended!

  • Review 9 (2019-10-06 - Rating: 4)

    We had lots of fun! Rented a canoe and a jet ski and had a blast! As to be expected with cabin staying, there were a few dead bugs around inside the cabin when we got there, but that was easily remedied. Also, be sure to bring sandels you dont mind getting wet, or water shoes, the beach is ROCKY not sandy and it can be kind of painful, but again, if youre prepared for that, you should be fine. The owners are very helpful and accommodating! Thanks for a great weekend Gwen and Brian!

  • Review 13 (2023-10-06 - Rating: 5)

    My family has been going to Willow Point every year for the past 18 years. The cabins are kept very clean and they are beautiful having lakefront views. We have found it to be a wonderful getaway. Swimming, fishing, pic-nicking and cooking out are just a few of the things we enjoy doing. The scenery is beautiful and the night sky is blazing with stars. This is a beautiful place to go to have family fun! Were already booked for 2024 and looking forward to it!

  • Review 15 (2019-03-23 - Rating: 5)

    Took a mini family vacation here. The water is very clear! The cabins are right on the sand and there are plenty of activities to keep you busy like kayaking, boat cruise at sunset, jetskis, canoeing, campfires, and much more. It is a bit expensive, though.

  • Review 16 (2024-04-06 - Rating: 5)

    Absolutely loved this place. We enjoyed out stay!

  • Review 17 (2020-05-20 - Rating: 5)

    My family and I recently stayed at Willow Point Resort, and it was far more than we expected. This is not a 5 star hotel, but it is a peaceful place to get away from the city. The cabins are just the right size for 5 to 6 people. The kids had a great time and not too many people to where it was crowded. The owners were very attentive to any concerns we had and were extremely nice. We will definitely be going back soon to enjoy the convenience of having the lake steps away from the cabin.

  • Review 18 (2020-05-26 - Rating: 5)

    White glove service here. Gwen is very personable, helpful, and very transparent. My family of 6 came down for Memorial weekend. The weather was variably windy and that limited our ability to rent the pontoon boat. We were scheduled in the morning on Saturday but Gwen advised us we would not be able to go right at 9 due to the winds. Every hour on the hour, she stopped by to update us. Unfortunately we were not able to go at all in the morning. At around 2:30 she came back by and told us we could rent the boat for 2 hours later in the day, bare in mind the wind continues to be favorable. We were in luck! The wind calmed enough for us to take the boat out at 5 and return by 7. Normally the boat rental is 4 hours, but Gwen extended to us a courtesy special schedule so we could at least enjoy it half the time. We are so thankful for her accommodation. Everything else was great! Fishing off the shore is good. We caught mostly bass. My only complaint is the cabins are advertised to accommodate 6 people. We had 5 adults and 1 teenager. I believe for this, we would have been more comfortable with only 4 people. The beds upstairs are twin sized, so only 2 people upstairs. 2 people in the bedroom downstairs. 2 people left to share the futon couch-bed. Other than that, great fun to relax and enjoy the lake with family. I recommend it!

  • Review 19 (2020-07-26 - Rating: 5)

    This place is beautiful, we were right on the lake. The cabins are just the right size. The nights cool breeze was so relaxing. We took a projector and screen for a movie night.The water wasnt choppy, it was calm, you could just relax in it.The grandkids had an amazing time on the jet ski. This was our first time to visit Willow Point Resort.We are definitely going back. It beats going to the beach. They take care of you here😎

  • Review 20 (2017-06-04 - Rating: 5)

    The accommodations were great! We are a family of four and found the cabin size to be more the adequate. The amenities and excess to the lake front made for easy accessibility to our boats/jet skis. And the Carpenters (owners) were extremely gracious and hospitable. We plan to return soon and we floating the idea of a family reunion at the resort in the not so distant future!!!

  • Review 21 (2017-05-24 - Rating: 5)

    We had an amazing weekend here with some great family quality time! The weather didnt necessarily cooperate, but we made the best of it and fished, swam, and played yard games. Gwen and Bryan were personable and present when needed. Beautiful location with a lot to do in the surrounding areas! We will definitely be back!

  • Review 22 (2021-07-15 - Rating: 5)

    Willow Point Resort was a beautiful beautiful place to stay the water fantastic, the beach was so clean and so nice and every Kevin had beautiful yard that led up to the beach

  • Review 23 (2022-05-14 - Rating: 5)

    The best place to go relax and enjoy the waters. The cabins are very nice. AC equipped for the hot days. BBQ pit is available, full kitchen as well. You can bring your own kayak or rent them. Its worth coming out here. this is our 4th year and will continue to come every year. Definitely recommended.

  • Review 24 (2016-03-27 - Rating: 5)

    My husband and I just wanted a quiet getaway for our fourth anniversary, and thats exactly what we got here. Our cabin, which was just steps away from the lake shore, was perfect for us. It was small and cozy, but big enough for us to stretch our legs and relax. Sitting on the front porch and looking out onto the quiet lake made our vacation exactly what we needed. The kitchen was well stocked with all the necessities - including a cast-iron skillet! Weve already recommended this place to friends and family, and we definitely plan to return.

  • Review 25 (2017-11-08 - Rating: 5)

    Clean cabin, beautiful and tranquil resort. Kids enjoy fishing, kayaking and playing board games at the club house. Definitely will be back!!

  • Review 26 (2020-03-18 - Rating: 5)

    The owners Gwen and Bryan are awesome!! We had a wonderful time. The cabin was super clean. We were in cabin #3, which is a great location. We were by the raised deck overlooking the lake. Fishing off the shore is easy. My son caught several large carp and bass. There is a full kitchen and individual charcoal grill at each cabin. Very quiet and peaceful. On a sidenote...my son left his necklace in the room today. After we got home, he realized it must still be in the cabin. They have it (thank goodness!) and Gwen is mailing it to us tomorrow! They are really great people. So lucky to have found a really nice place to get away. We hope we can go back sometime soon.

  • Review 27 (2021-08-11 - Rating: 5)

    Some college friends and I book a few cabins every year. Gwen and Bryan are great, the facilities are comfortable, and we enjoyed: grilling, horseshoes, basketball, Jet Skis and swimming. The lake bottom is a little rocky, so bring water shoes. Its a great, quiet getaway. Weve booked the next trip and added another night.

  • Review 28 (2018-08-08 - Rating: 5)

    This place is amazing. Just left and we cant wait to come back again. The resort is very clean and the owers are very welcoming and friendly. We drove 6 hours to vacation here and it exceeded our expectations and experience by far. The environment is very family oriented and fun. The lake and scenery are beautiful. All the amenities and activities are very convenient for the whole family to have everything on site. Definitely will recommend this place.

  • Review 29 (2020-03-20 - Rating: 5)

    Our first time coming here. We were referred by my wifes boss, which she highly recommended for a family trip. It is a GREAT spot. Very clean and friendly staff. Beautiful view and setting. Enough activities offered to keep everyone entertained buy also not chaotic to where you wont enjoy R&R. Highly recommend.

  • Review 33 (2016-05-23 - Rating: 5)

    My group of 8 had a great time in the spacious cabin #43. The facility was picturesque. The cabin was very clean and well maintained and the teenagers loved all of the activities available (pool table, foosball, volleyball, ping pong not to mention swimming in the lake). The owners Gwen and Brian were gracious hosts and I look forward to returning.

  • Review 34 (2021-07-25 - Rating: 4)

    Perfect Staycation or weekend getaway. Bring the family and enjoy your time on the lake like no other.

  • Review 35 (2017-05-16 - Rating: 5)

    We rented the entire resort for Mothers Day weekend. Kids had access to sups, kayaks, canoes,etc. cottages are tight but you have everything you need for a quick, simple retreat at the lake. Owners are very friendly and accommodating. We had a pretty loud group but were allowed to do our thing since we had the entire place. Big house is perfect rally point for large parties. Plenty of room there is you need a bigger space.

  • Review 36 (2020-08-16 - Rating: 5)

    The resort was nice and cozy. Great cabins and well maintained grounds. I cannot wait to go back. Everything at the resort was excellent 5 star experience, the last town before entering the resort with the closest grocery store not so welcoming.

    The place was so beautiful! The staff and owners are so nice and friendly. My 4 year old said this was the best place ever! He didnt want to leave. Thank you again for all the nice hospitality. We will definitely be back next year.

  • Review 38 (2018-04-18 - Rating: 5)

    The best lake resort in Texas!!! The resort without a doubt the best lake resort in Texas, the staff here are some of the friendliest people you will ever meet! The cabins were remarkably clean and comfortable. Rentals included things like kayaks, stand-up paddle boards, canoes, pontoon boat, etc... We rented the kayaks and they were very affordable and fun! Youre missing out if you havent gone here yet!

    Great place to vacation. The cabins are close to the water and the view is beautiful. The cabins are well kept and believe it or not , they are spacious enough. Family-oriented. Our captain, Kim, was a joy when taking us to the waterfalls cruise.

  • Review 41 (2021-07-18 - Rating: 5)

    A great place for family fun on Lake Buchanan. The beach front cabins are just perfect for family fun or a couples retreat. Fishing, swimming, boating or just enjoying the peace of a cool summer night walking down the beach under the hill country moon . Willow Point has it all.

  • Review 42 (2022-07-05 - Rating: 5)

    Been coming here for years. Sandcastles, fireworks, manipulating a charcoal grill. My kids get along for some reason, and there are no devices. Funny how that works. We had to prop up one leg of the connect 4 on the box in the clubhouse today where my daughter destroyed me...... If you want to slow down and really connect with your family for a few days, this is just what the doctor ordered.

  • Review 43 (2014-10-22 - Rating: 5)

    Booked a log cabin for our family vacation, and I really enjoyed it. It was a bit like camping without having to do all the dirty work, and having to sleep outside on the horribly uncomfortable ground. The staff was great and always had such wonderful suggestions on what we should do for the day. Would definitely come back.

  • Review 46 (2011-10-27 - Rating: 5)

    Visited WPR last weekend for my friends wedding. we stayed in cabin 11 aka Danger Cabin aka Back-Stabbin-Cabin ;) it was clean & newer, AC with a stand-up shower. included 2 twin beds in the loft, a full in the room + a fold-out futon. kitchen included pretty much everything youd need to cook a family meal. very little closet space though. we took over all the cabins + the lakehouse. the only negative statement i heard all week was how much the lake had dried up. otherwise, everyone had a great time. Gwen + her husband were very nice & made sure we all had what we needed. highly recommend this place.
