Albert Ice House

Reviewed By JodiCowgirl - Austin, United States

What is better than the Albert Icehouse if you are seeking an authentic casual Hill Country outdoor experience underneath mammoth sized oak trees??? Probably the gorgeous drive down FM 1623 to get there! What a wonderful drive just to arrive at a "honkytonk/dancehall". The history alone is endearing but then the food truck, PIG PEN, serves up delicious choices. Hearty meatpacked bites. MY hubby and I both enjoyed enormous burgers. Delicious though I brought half of mind home, it was that large. They serve soda, beer, hard alcohol. Picnic tables. Very casual yet clean outdoor seating. Parking lot was packed. Everyone there seemed laid back and friendly. Definitely will find our way back for LIVE MUSIC.

Lyndon B. Johnson State Park & Historic Site

Visitors to this day use park can enjoy historical sites, picnicking, fishing, swimming, nature and wildlife viewing. As of May 2014, the park is home to part of the Official Texas State Longhorn Herd. If you plan to swim at the park, read through our swimming safety tips before you come. Be sure to visit the Sauer-Beckmann Farmstead, a living history farm, presented as it was in 1918. Interpreters wear period clothing, do the farm and household chores as they were done at that time, and conduct tours for the visitors. Located east of the visitor center, off the nature trail. The abundant wildlife of the Hill Country is highlighted by enclosures containing buffalo, longhorn and white-tailed deer. These animals have played a part in the park's history, and the local wildlife continues to be an important attraction for visitors. The park is famous for its spring wildflower display. The Visitor Center is the focal point of Lyndon B. Johnson State Park. It contains memorabilia from President Johnson's presidency and interactive displays about the land and people that shaped a president. Attached to the Visitor Center is the Behrens Cabin, a two-room dogtrot cabin built by German immigrant H. C. Behrens during the 1870s. The furnishings are typical of such homes in that period. Visitors can further explore the history of these immigrants by viewing the 1860s Danz family log cabin located just west of the Visitor Center. An auditorium in the visitor center complex will accommodate 234 persons for state performances or films. An outdoor amphitheater is used for a variety of programs. A nature trail, including a Hill Country botanical exhibit, winds past wildlife enclosures stocked with bison, white-tailed deer, wild turkey, other native wildlife, and longhorn cattle. Directly across the Pedernales River from the LBJ State Park is the LBJ Ranch, part of LBJ National Historical Park. The Annual LBJ Tree Lighting takes place in mid-December. Educational & Interpretive Programs Tours of the complex, including the Sauer-Beckmann farm with its smokehouse, Victorian style house, garden, and log house lasts approximately an hour; group reservations are accepted. No entrance fee is required, but donation boxes are available. Individuals and families can take the tour on a first-come, first-serve basis.Directly across the Pedernales River from the LBJ State Park is the LBJ Ranch, part of LBJ National Historical Park. Self-guided tours of the Ranch begin at the LBJ State Park Visitor Center. Among the sites on the Ranch are the one-room Junction School first attended by the four-year-old Lyndon B. Johnson in 1912, reconstructed birthplace and nearby Johnson family cemetery where the former President is buried, and the Texas White House. The drive also takes visitors through the pasturelands where Hereford cattle, descended from those owned by President Johnson, can be viewed. Self-guided tours of the LBJ Ranch begin at the LBJ State Park Visitor Center and are available daily, except Thanksgiving, Christmas Day and New Year’s Day, when the national park is closed.

LBJ State Park is south of the Pedernales River and consists of a Visitor Center, Sports complex that has tennis courts, baseball field and swimming pool, historic cabins, Scout center, long horn herd, bison and Sauer-Beckmann living history farm. There is no overnight camping. LBJ did not live on the State Park land but in order to drive on the National Park side to see LBJ’s birth place and Texas Whitehouse (north of Pedernales River) you have to get a driving permit from the State Park visitor center. Take time to explore the State Park as there are walking trails, nice picnic areas, a great gift shop, displays, and of course the wonderful German living history farm. It is a great place to take children. The staff are great and willing to explain everything and give you a map. The State Park is free but be sure to leave a donation.

Becker Vineyards is a beautiful place and I find their red wines most delightful. If you go, and you should, take the wine tasting. 7 different wines for $20.00 and the pours are generous.

Reviewed By Peulin - Fort Worth, United States

Best winery visit in the area. The view is amazing from their patio. The wines are all really good. The staff is friendly and engaging. The wines are a bit pricier than some others, but worth it in my opinion. We ended up joining the wine club.

We went because we had won a raffle for wine and cheese tasting. It was awesome. All the wines were very good good cheese platter. Very nice tasting room plenty of space. They are fairly new operation, but the wine is great. usually at wineries there are only a few wines that are good , even the white ones (I don’t usually drink white) were good. Nice outdoor porch great atmosphere. Will be back when in the area again
