Our initial experience with Donna was renting vacation condos on Lake Travis at Whitecliff. After renting vacation property for over 6 years the opportunity to purchase a condo was presented by Donna. The next 11 years of owning a condo & placing the condo in Donna’s rental pool were positive.  We found on both sides of the fence, as a customer then client, Donna presented herself in a professional manner with a positive attitude and fair solutions to any challenge. Through out the years we discussed with Donna on several occasions about the purchase of a Lake Home or land to build on. As a result of Donna’s professional guidance we purchased a waterfront lot & now live in our dream home. It is not often in life one finds a person whom takes care of business in a manner that makes a relationship involving money last for over two decades.

Dear Donna,

We appreciate the professionalism and guidance you have provided for us, as our realtor, over the past 12 years. We were referred to you by a friend who owned one of your rental properties. It did not take long for you to feel "our pulse" and needs and lead us to our first lake property in January 2000. From that original home, we have since purchased another home in the same area of the lake. You have had so much patience with us, showing us literally everything, until we finally made the decision to stay in a "lock and leave" situation. We love where we are on the lake and you were right on target that this fits our lifestyle. More than that, we appreciate that it was you who sold our other home in a timely fashion, even in a tough market. You have been our realtor and our friend for 12 years. We believe that because you live on Lake Travis, you understand Lake Travis.

Thank you,
Mark and Bonnie

Donna,

As you know Becky and I started our Lake Travis experience in 1994 with rentals from you at Whitecliff. Now some 17 years later we have bought and sold many properties here in the Briarcliff area, all with some sort of assistance from you. It's been our good fortune to have your expertise  and knowledge to help us along this journey. Though not all of our transactions have been "normal" we have always felt that you handled each and every sale with professionalism and a genuine desire to be fair. I  have sent many friends to you over the years and some of them too have found their spot on Lake Travis. I will continue to use your services and also send any others your way because I know you will treat them as well as you have Becky and I.

Sincerely,

Ron & Becky Kilby

The Lighhouse Bar-BQ & Grill not only serves up some of the best food in the area, but they also showcase some of our local talented musicians for their patrons! Friday night was another beautiful evening and The Lighhouse Bar-BQ & Grill featured Todd Westbrook entertaining the diners. Everyone enjoyed the amazing Lake Travis views, the fabulous food and great music from Todd Westbrook. Here is a video clip of Todd performing one of his original songs "Waiting on my love":

On Sunday we wanted some good food so we headed over to our local restaurant, the "Lighthouse Bar-BQ & Grill". It was such a nice afternoon and we just wanted to tell everyone what a great time and meal we had! The folks at the Lighthouse are so friendly and really make sure everyone is well taken care of. Outside on the lakeside deck, owner Rick Mensik and Neal Ford entertained local patrons with great music. The food was great and the service was outstanding.

We just have to tell you all about the great food we had! Donna ordered the Smoked Chicken plate. It's a 1/2 chicken smoked and glazed with their homemade BBQ sauce, it was so tender and tasty! For her sides, she chose the fried okra, and Justin's secret recipe collard greens that Donna raved about!
Curtis had the daily special which was the Fried Chicken plate. It came with 3 generous pieces of chicken fried to perfection with a golden crispy crust served with mashed potatoes and homemade country gravy, finished with a delicious vegetable succotash. It is a colorful blend of fresh veggies straight from the local farmers market, seasoned just right & topped with cheese & bread crumbs! Everything was delicious!

Everyone in the area needs to try the Lighthouse Bar-BQ & Grill, the food is awesome with generous portions!
