choice hill country venue

the story of

a six acre destination overlooking lake travis

choice hill country venue

Thomas Porter

owner

Jack Strong, Texas State Senator from Longview, built a successful hotel business by building road side hotels and motels along Texas. His dream was to build a unique hotel in a Villa style that allowed friends and family to come together and stay under one roof. He found the ideal location; six acres on a bluff overlooking a gorgeous expanse of Lake Travis and the Texas Hill Country with the best sunset view he had ever seen. With the site chosen and the design completed by famous Austin architect Sinclair Black, Vintage Villas Bed & Breakfast was born.

In 2000, Thomas Porter, the current owner was hired as the General Manager. Thomas’s hotel career started at the age of 18 at a Hilton Hotel while attending the University of Texas. His years of experience in luxury hotels, knowledge of food and beverage and a true desire to serve were the perfect recipe to bring the Vintage Villas concept to life. Thomas and his wife Vicky, also a hospitality professional and a graduate of the prestigious Shannon College of Hotel Management in Shannon Ireland, began to make the transformation from Bed & Breakfast to Vintage Villas Hotel & Events.

After seven years as General Manger, Thomas and Vicky bought their dream hotel. Thomas continues to work in the hotel daily and is still the Vintage Villas General Manager.

Paola & Matthew met back in 2018 and first bonded over their love of the gym & fitness, and quickly knew they wanted to spend forever together.

When asked what her favorite part of the wedding day was, Paola responded with “can we say the entire wedding was our favorite part?” We love that!! 

They love spending time with their 2 fur babies, Dawson & Bonnie, and love trying new restaurants together. They look forward to continuing to explore new places as an official family of 4.

We couldn’t be happier for them!🤍

These 2 high school sweethearts started dating when they were just 16, and said yes to forever under our Gazebo back in December. 

Alayna says their favorite part of the day was watching the sunset over the lake right after their ceremony. She remembers how beautiful it was & how happy she felt that day with all of their friends and family. 

They’re both excited to make more memories here in Austin as a married couple with their 2 dogs, Luka & Leonard. 

We couldn’t be happier for them🤍
