They say everything's bigger in Texas, and the blazing sun is no exception. Temperatures from June to September can easily soar into the 90s, so be sure to pack the sunscreen.

Snow is a rare occurrence, so you're unlikely to encounter the white stuff. The most popular time for Lake Austin vacation rentals is from September to November, when highs are around 70, making it perfect festival weather.
