Lakeway is a planned resort community on the south shore of Lake Travis, about 25 minutes west of Austin. It began as a single lakeside inn on a cattle ranch in 1963 and grew into a city of about 19,000 — private golf courses, deep-water marinas, and some of the highest household incomes in Central Texas. This is the developed side of the lake: marinas, lakeside dining, and the sunset crowd at The Oasis. Bee Cave, just east, is where the corridor handles its errands. And because Lake Travis is a storage reservoir, the water rises and falls — what you can do on any given day depends on the level.
lakeway.ai is built by Spencer and Jess Forrest, owners of Backroads Hill Country — a locally operated Texas Hill Country travel company that has represented Hill Country vacation rentals since 2001, with thousands of guest stays coordinated across the region.
Most travel platforms flatten a place like Lakeway into generic top-10 lists. This is built the other way around — local knowledge first, from people who actually live and work in the Hill Country.
