Please let the office know if you have any special dietary needs.
ENTERTAINMENT – Being so close to Austin, you would think this would be a snap. Unfortunately, the pandemic was not kind to the music industry. Bands we used to book are either gone or have doubled their price. We have managed to secure music for each night of your visit, including a couple of local performers, a live band on Friday night and two of our best DJs. We hope you enjoy it.
REGISTRATION – Please make sure that we know you are coming, even if you are not staying on the property. Our Hospitality Team is preparing a welcome for you, but it won’t be ready if we don’t know when you are arriving. Please call the office if you haven’t already.

Hey all you runners out there!
AANR-SW continues with the popular Nude Racing Series. Open to the public, this unique, family-oriented, clothes-optional event is a series of 5K cross-country races hosted by nudist clubs throughout the Southwest Region.
While competitive enough for many serious runners to compete for points and awards, there are scores who choose to participate just for the sheer fun of it. This year five AANR-SW clubs will be hosting a series five races.
Competing in the Nude Racing Series, runners will accumulate points at race they complete. Runners compete in age and gender categories and must finish at least half the scheduled races to be eligible for Series awards.
Series points are earned based on each racer’s finish time. At the end of the season, the points from each runner’s three best races are totaled, and Nude Racing Series awards awarded to the highest point totals in each category.
