Food scene

One of the best BBQ spots in the area, I like it better than Salt lick and their beef ribs are to die for. Only 5 min away from the house.

Traveler advice

Getting around

Transportation

If you are visiting from out of town , i highly recommend to rent a vehicle since the property is driving distance to Downtown Austin, Vineyards and local Breweries. Uber works too but a trip from the airport or to downtown Austin is about $100 give or take.
Traveling with kids

Clothes

Bring “river” shoes , the property has stairs to the ricer but like most areas there is a rough rocky terrain that is best to walk with river shoes and also so you avoid the muddy spots prior to getting in the deep water.a light jacket never hurts specially with Austin’s crazy weather.
Traveling with kids

Kid gear

Bring kid floatation gear and river shoes for little ones. If interested in hiking it would be beneficial to bring a carrying bag to help little ones ease the hikes.
