I recently discovered a small piece of heaven right here in the Texas Hill Country. A beautiful, scenic spot with a flowing river, breathtaking sunsets and a fantastic restaurant. Plus, you can stay for a day, a week…however long it takes to unwind and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

Strike gold at Steinheimer’s Lounge

June 27, 2011 By Tanji 8 Comments

What a way to enjoy the Texas Hill Country! The fabulous Westin La Cantera recently renovated the resort’s signature bar Steinheimer’s Lounge. And the re-do is worth its weight in gold! There is a very romantic story about the bar’s namesake, Karl Steinheimer. He started out as a pirate. Then, became a miner and he struck gold in Mexico.
