Join other bird watchers at Dink Pearson Park. Hippie Hollow Park, located on the eastern end of the lake, is known as one of the few legal clothing-optional parks in Texas.

1/5 - Terrible

Ruben

Pubic hair on shower head, hair on towels, hair on utensil towel. Food and excursions were way overpriced. Definitely not coming back to Lakeway Resort, if it can even be called a resort.

1/5 - Terrible

Verified traveler

I kept thinking I was in souls Southern California. Look, I love Austin. I lived there for a decade. But I had to go to a funeral in Lakeway so I stayed at the closest, reasonably place I could find. I made a huge mistake.

3/5 - Okay

Verified traveler

I've never been to a hotel that didn't allow kids in the hot tub. I'm not a picky person at all. That amenity should be accessible to everyone.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Pretty area. I was there for a family wedding so did not look around and tour at all.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

We love Lakeway and visit often

5/5 - Excellent
