Nestled in the heart of the Texas Hill Country on the shimmering shores of Lake Travis, The Hollows offers residents the perfect blend of luxury, nature, and laid-back lake life. Whether you’re craving outdoor adventure, resort-style amenities, or a peaceful place to unwind, here are five reasons The Hollows is the ultimate staycation.
1. Lakeside Living Every Day
Imagine sipping your morning coffee with a view of the hill country or taking a quick kayak ride before dinner. At The Hollows, lake life is built into your daily routine. With two private Kayak Clubs for residents, access to the water is effortless. Launch from the dock for a solo sunrise paddle, take an evening stroll along the shoreline path, or turn a casual hike into a lakeside escape.
Even if you’re not on the water, you’re always near it. The breeze, the views, the sunsets—it’s the kind of beauty most people only experience on vacation.
2. Resort-Style Amenities Without the Crowds
Forget overpriced resorts and overcrowded pools. The Hollows brings the luxury of a vacation to your front door.
At The Beach Club, you’ll find:
- Three pools, including a sparkling infinity-edge pool
- A seasonal full-service restaurant offering poolside drinks and food
- BBQ grills and a covered pavilion with a fireplace for gathering year-round
- A modern fitness center, playground, and sports court for pickleball and more
It’s the ultimate “do-nothing” or “do-everything” destination. Whether entertaining guests or spending a solo afternoon by the pool, you never have to leave the neighborhood to enjoy it all.
3. Room to Gather, Play & Breathe
Need a change of scenery? Head up to The Trailhead Club, located in the Canyons neighborhood, where breathtaking Hill Country and Lake Travis views make every moment feel like a getaway. Swim laps in the quiet pool, challenge your neighbor to a round of pickleball, or kick back in the shaded lounge area with your favorite book.
Then there’s the Hilltop Smokehouse—a scenic, open-air pavilion with multiple smokers and gas grills, perfect for cookouts, casual hangouts, and golden-hour dinners. As night falls, gather around the outdoor fireplace or stargaze under the open Texas sky. This isn’t your average neighborhood park, it’s a full-blown backyard escape.
4. Nature at Your Doorstep
The best kind of rest often comes from reconnecting with nature. At The Hollows, miles of private trails weave through the trees, hills, and waterfront, perfect for daily movement and reflection.
