The grounds of Hyatt Lost Pines |
Last month, I had the chance to spend a few days outside
Austin's city limits in a small town called Bastrop. I found some fantastic shops that I'll tell you about next week, but my favorite part was spending time poolside at Hyatt Regency Lost Pines Resort and Spa.
If you are a nature lover who wants to experience Austin's scene without staying downtown,
Hyatt Lost Pines is a great option. You're only about a 30-minute drive from the city, but surrounded by 400+ acres of wildlife. Hyatt Lost Pines is also a fantastic hotel option for families. It's practically impossible to get bored here.

Wildflowers in bloom. |
There's a horseshoe area, Frisbee golf course, basketball court, soccer field, horse-drawn carriage rides and a riverfront that's ripe for exploration (the Colorado River, to be exact). Not to mention the Crooked River Water Park with two pools and a lazy river, Spa Django and Wolfdancer Golf Club. Plus, the resort organizes even more free activities for kids like tie-dye shirt making and movies on the lawn.

Furry friends found around Hyatt Lost Pines. |
But my favorite part of my stay at Hyatt Lost Pines was the "Hooves and Horns" mascot program. The resort's grounds are home to two draft horses, a pair of Texas longhorns and a 125-pound Newfoundland named Hoss. I fell in love with Hoss and visited him often at his quarters, which are a doghouse replica of the resort's main facility. Around the back of the resort you'll find Boo Boo the kissy-face llama and a coy donkey, whose name I don't remember. (Probably because he wouldn't give me the time of day.)

Other highlights of my stay at Hyatt Lost Pines included:
- The huevos rancheros at Firewheel Cafe, which I ordered almost every morning for breakfast
- A guided horseback ride through the wooded area of the resort grounds
- Cooking s'mores on the lawn after a fantastic meal at Hyatt Lost Pines' fine dining restaurant, Stories
Great photos. P.S. We certainly can't choose our favorite either.
