It sounds like the setting for an old Western: Lost Pines Resort & Spa. Happily, it’s real. Located just outside of Austin, Texas, the 405-acre spread is ideal for creating a host of family memories, and the resort wants to stay close to your heart with its new Lost Pines Moment postcard program. Available through 2017, the program allows guests to fill out a postcard detailing their best memory from their stay, and then choose a month during 2018 to receive the card at home. Once the card arrives, guests can receive a great deal on a return visit.

The property — part of the Hyatt Regency family — offers 491 guestrooms and plenty of family-friendly activities such as horseback riding and trap-shooting classes. The resort’s position near the Colorado River also allows for kayaking, rafting expeditions and air boating. More than 18 miles of hiking and biking trails wind throughout the property’s Texas wilderness setting, and guests can make the most of the great outdoors with a guided nature tour with a naturalist from McKinney Roughs Nature Park. Other options include rock climbing, zip lining at Zip Lost Pines and getting wet at the property’s on-site Crooke River Water Park. There’s also golf at nearby Wolfdancer Golf Club, and a delightful selection of spa therapies and healing treatments at Spa Django, named for gypsy jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt.
