1. The scenery in this part of the Hill Country is amazing and it is still very close to downtown Austin but you don't feel like it as it seems far removed from the city.

"Well Kept, Scenic Facility " Read full review on TripAdvisor 4/29/2012 Vote

2. Do remember, however, that with Austin's notorious traffic, Barton Creek is nowhere near Downtown, unless you travel by helicopter.

3. OH, the only other thing that should be mentioned is, the resort is at least 25 minutes to 1/2 hour from downtown.

4. It is a relatively short (if you don't go during commuting hours) drive to downtown, but far enough out to really enjoy the hill country scenery and solitude.

5. The only caution, is if you'll be spending a lot of time in downtown Austin, you'll have a 30 minute drive (without traffic).
