Inaugural Hill Country Wine & Food Festival this Weekend
Plus Austin's weirdest AirBnB

Today’s water level: 42.5%

A Little About Us. We're your Sweetwater neighbors who moved here just over a year ago and fell in love with this unique community. Our mission: help busy people discover all the amazing things happening in our backyard.
With a 3-year-old keeping us on our toes, we know the struggle of finding weekend activities without endless Google searches. We figured other busy neighbors might appreciate someone doing the legwork.
So what did we dig up for you this week? Glad you asked:
🔗 Get Linked: Support a local business owner creating permanent jewelry that connects special moments one custom weld at a time.
🏠️ Your Next Staycation: This eccentric AirBnB is certainly keeping Austin weird.
🥾 One Trail at a Time: Our weekly series features a lakeside gem that’s breezy in every sense of the word.
