Newly renovated pool and hotel facility strategically located on beautiful Lake Travis, the Lakeway Conference Center is the perfect destination for the weekend. We have been given 2 alternatives. Renting the Rio Grand Ballroom will cost us $65 per person. This ballroom has a luxurious space with classic style with a large terrace for outdoor socializing. Renting the Colorado room will cost us $55 per person. The Colorado provides a more intimate ballroom with Hill Country detailing and tree views offering a terrace overlooking the pool decks and partial lake views. The facility is offering us space by the pool or in the bar to meet Friday night and will organize golf, workout facility & tennis activities as needed. Rooms available onsite.

The Salt Lick Restaurant – Pavillion available July 12, Thurmand’s mansion available all 4 Saturdays. Price per person is $55.00 Food is BBQ, Mexican, Fajitas or mixture
18001 FM 1826
Driftwood, TX 78619

Most people agree that The Salt Lick has great BBQ. The Salt Lick has 2 areas available, both air conditioned. BBQ is great but they offer Mexican fajitas as well. The Pavilion is next to Onion Creek and is a very pretty setting, has a concrete floor, air conditioning and very informal but very clean and professionally managed. If your tastes run more laid back this is definitely the choice for you. The Salt Lick is out a little further but hey, we will just do this once. Thurmand’s Mansion is Rock and wood flooring, (just restored and has a great view of the Hill Country.
