5 minute walk to the trail. Head south and you can walk to downtown and Town Lake or now referred to as Lake Lady Bird. Near the house there is a lovely rugged spot with moss covered rugged rocks, trees and small waterfalls if it has been raining.

Swimming
My favorite waterholes. I generally ride my bike or drive. Happy to share our bikes, just ask that you take care of them.
Best swimming hole in the city. I like to go early in the AM or late at night after the crowds are gone.

Cash only. Take your own booze. They sell homemade lemonade, so we take vodka... Not the best BBQ in town, it is good, but there's better. The atmosphere is awesome. Big ranch outside of town, old oak trees, twinkly lights, big skies, gorgeous country.
