Lake Travis Area Weekend Events: January 30th – February 1st

Written by Todd Hower | January 30, 2015

It’s Friday and thank goodness for that! Leander ISD has a winter break on February 2nd & 3rd , so I’m sure that many of you are taking off early and heading to the mountains for an extra long weekend of skiing and playing in the snow. Enjoy!

On February 1st, the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots will face off for Super Bowl XLIX. Enjoy the Big Game (and commercials) with some good food and craft beer.

Super Bowl Sunday is the end of the 30-day grace period on warnings for talking and texting while driving in Austin. So if you’re watching the game at a place other than on your sofa at home, just remember to drive hands-free and drink responsibly.

Here’s our roundup of weekend activities in and around the Lake Travis area:

Valentine's Day Giveaway: Dinner at The Grille at Rough Hollow

Written by Cathy Hale | January 30, 2015

It’s time for our February giveaway and we’re excited to announce our partner is The Grille at Rough Hollow. Together with The Grille, we’re offering one lucky winner (and a guest of his or her choosing) a romantic Valentine’s Day dinner for two. Grab your sweetheart and enjoy a delicious 3-course prix fixe menu including complimentary champagne and Amuse Bouche.

Whether you choose the pan roasted Sea Bass or one of their most popular dishes, Duck Two Ways, or the beef tenderloin filet, your taste buds will thank you. Plus, did we mention banana Nutella cake with banana coconut ice cream is one of your dessert options? Anything with Nutella is always the right choice in our opinion.

Hotels, Austin Real Estate Bubble — Can Realtors Predict the Future?

Written by Todd Hower | January 29, 2015

As you may have noticed, there is a lot of development going on in the Lake Travis area — except for the development of roads.

On the commercial side of real estate, we are experiencing a boom in hotels because of an occupancy rate for Austin that came in at 72.3 percent for 2014 — a very healthy rate. The City of Austin and surrounding area continues to be a hot bed for business and recreation.

In the Lake Travis area, we have numerous hotel developments that are popping up, from a Sonesta Hotel Bee Cave to a Residence Inn Marriott at River Place. There’s a new CVS pharmacy under construction in Four Points at the intersection of 620 and 2222 with a 5-acre tract available for development and the possibility of another hotel … or restaurant, assisted living facility or another medical project.
