Lake Travis is so huge that it has no single access point. It has more than 436.1 km (271 mi) of shoreline and covers an area of 7,660.3 ha (18,929 ac). Referred to as the “crown jewel” of Texas Highland Lakes, this incredible reservoir is the most visited destination of its kind in the state. If you are visiting with your family, you might want to check out Lake Travis Waterloo Adventures, a waterpark on the eastern shores of the lake. It has a 182.9-m (600-ft) water playground with over 20 obstacles. After an exhausting day, soaking in a hot tub is always a great idea. Here’s a rundown of the best cabins with hot tub near Lake Travis, Texas.
We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) host status, recent guest reviews, location, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and access to hot tub.
