This extensively restored hotel harkens back to the time of train travel and flickering gas lights.  Tour the main house or stay in one of the many brightly painted cabooses on the property. Just watch out for deer hunters. Make a reservation or find out more at theantlers.com.

3. After a day at the lake head to Buddies for some friend chicken, or a t-shirt, or gas…or whatever…

This one stop shop is the epitome of convenience. Fill up on gas or fried chicken (just maybe not at the same time) or grab an official Lake LBJ t-shirt. Whatever you need, Buddies has it. Check them out on Facebook.

4. Reenact your favorite “I Love Lucy” moment at Perissos Vineyards.

This vineyard is a Hill Country must-visit. What started as a hobby quickly turned in to an award winning 1005 authentic Texas winery. The story is that if you visit in July or August you can even get down and dirty by helping to harvest and stomp the produce (and all the ‘I Love Lucy’ fans rejoiced). Learn more about the family’s history and the vineyard at perissosvineyards.com.

5. Play a round of golf at the Lighthouse Country Club.
