If you want to see what it’s like to live the “rough life” in the Lake Travis area, this is your chance. The 2017 Austin Parade of Homes™ has arrived at The Peninsula of Rough Hollow.

The tour features five beautifully crafted and impeccably designed homes with jaw-dropping 360º views. But there’s one house that has a unique story to tell and that’s the Laurel Haven Homes villa located at 618 Vendemmia Bend.

This 6,600 square foot home is a nod to the bygone era of the 1930s & 1940s with Great Gatsby-esque elements of grandeur that can be found in even the smallest detail.

Regina Cotroneo of Laurel Haven Homes was in charge of the architectural selections and interior design of this home, so she assembled an extraordinary group of women who live in the Lake Travis community to bring her vision to fruition.

Meet the ladies responsible for making this modern vintage villa shine.

Ode to Moms: What We Really Want for Mother’s Day in Lake Travis

Written by Cathy Hale | May 10, 2017

A mother is a special member of an elite, yet exhausting club.
We’re constantly stressed, busy, multitasking and in need of a foot rub.

Mom life forces you to do things you never thought you’d do.
Like remain calm when you see bodily fluids and not shriek, “Ewww!?”

Over the years you’ve cleaned up drool, spills, poop and pee.
If you’ve caught vomit in your purse at the Galleria, you’ve exclaimed, “yippee!”

On the way to school, practices and games with healthy snacks in tow you thrive.
620 is backed up for miles? We’ll take Serene Hills Drive!

You can survive on Cheetos, Goldfish, Greek yogurt and coffee of Krup
It doesn’t phase you when your son – in All Star Burger – hands you his youth athletic cup.
