Let’s Go to Luckenbach, Texas…

Written by Emily O'Shaughnessy | July 31, 2014

One of the best things about living in the Lake Travis area is the abundance of excursions you can take in the surrounding hill country. A short drive in any direction can make you feel like you’re in an entirely different world. Luckenbach, TX, is the perfect example. And if you love trailer food, wine, live music (or all of the above) this weekend presents a great opportunity to get back to the basics of love.

The first annual Hill Country Food Truck Festival takes place this Saturday, August 2^nd from noon – 11:30pm in Luckenbach. Tickets are $15 per person, with kids 12 and under free. Trailer food, wine, beer and music will come together in this small, laid back hill country town.

Lake Travis Marinas: West Beach Marina

Written by Mandy Spivey | July 30, 2014

With the summer sun above Lake Travis, it’s hard not to want to spend a day boating around the lake. The 63-mile long lake is a favorite among Central Texas and is one of the most populated of all of the Highland Lakes.

And if you’re a boat owner, the choice of where to keep your boat can be a real task when you consider the multitudes of marinas in the Lake Travis area. There are several marinas on the South Shore of Lake Travis, all of which offer different amenities, boat slips or dry stack storage options.

Steiner Ranch Steakhouse: The Best Steak in the Lake Travis Area

Written by Mandy Spivey | July 29, 2014

Some people know them as one of the best patios for Lake Travis sunsets. Or it might be for their jaw-droppingly huge steaks. Either way, if you have been on the search for the best steak in the Lake Travis area, look no further.

High atop lush green hills in the Steiner Ranch neighborhood sits the Steiner Ranch Steakhouse. The restaurant was opened by the Steiner Family as a symbol of all of the glory days of roping cattle, wrestling steer and riding bulls on the rodeo circuit. The steakhouse has become somewhat of a library and collector’s trove of the remnants of those golden years when Buck Steiner was king of cattle, running immensely popular Capitol Saddlery in downtown Austin.

Games2U: Mobile Gaming Utopia in Lake Travis

Written by Cathy Hale | July 28, 2014

If you live in Lake Travis, you’ve probably experienced the thrill of Games2U. This mobile entertainment company has forever transformed the event world with on-the-go gaming for kids and adults. Their motto is “We’ll bring out the kid in anyone.” Yep, they nailed it.

Games2U, founded in Austin in 2007, was already seeing a lot of success with their gaming concept when they garnered national attention by appearing on ABC’s Shark Tank in 2011. Brothers and owners Stuart & David Pikoff walked into the tank and pitched their investment deal to entrepreneurial moguls Kevin O’Leary, Jeff Foxworthy, Barbara Corcoran, Daymond John and Robert Herjavec. They went back and fourth, but eventually the brothers declined the offer on the table and continued building the business themselves. I would say they made the right decision.
