Where you own a weekend house near Houston?
If you had the chance to own a weekend home within 2.5 hours of Houston, where would it be? Please don't pick Galveston. I'd like some more ideas- like east texas, or west, or even south. Please give me your choices and explain why you chose it. Thanks!

Near Austin, for sure!
Because I love visiting Austin and it would be awesome to have a second home there instead of always staying with friends or getting a hotel room.

The deer aren't big enough at 2.5 hours. 3.5 hours maybe west or south west.  |

Oh, man, does it have to be within 2.5 hours? I so want a weekend home in the Texas hill country (Boerne, Fredricksburg, etc.), and I'd have no problem driving 3-4 hours each Friday from Houston to get there! Quiet, beauty, clean air, rolling hills, wineries, food...the reasons go on and on. |

Washington County, Austin County, Colorado County, or Fayette County. Close enough to home, yet you feel a thousand miles away.

No votes for scenic Texas City yet? (Hey, it's not Galveston!)

I second Poltracker here. Lake Livingston is the best. |
