10 Great Vacation Spots Within Driving Distance of Dallas

If you like nice hotels, resort-style pools, eating, drinking, golf, and/or spa treatments, you’ll do well here. Horseshoe Bay is a sprawling Hill Country destination that sits on 7,000 acres along Lake LBJ. The property’s 400 guest rooms are joined by four golf courses, six restaurants, multiple pools, and pickleball courts, so you won’t get bored—though you may get tricked into some exercise. Book a couple nights, or more, to get the full experience, and you can start your day with a round of golf, or get some vitamin D by the pool, before turning your attention to more pressing matters, like what to eat for lunch.
