The Pool at Lake Austin Spa Resort

" Families seeking a lakeside property with pools and a spa might want to consider the Lakeway Resort and Spa, which is about 25 minutes away and has activities for kids (children under 14 are not allowed here)"

"Take advantage of the packed schedule and spa offerings, or just claim a poolside lounger, take a walk along the lake, or read a book in the fragrant organic garden"

"If you must stray from the resort, you can keep it chill with a dip in Barton Springs, a natural spring pool near Austin"

"Rooms 1-10 offer nice views of the gardens, pool patio and small meditation garden in back"
