To get on the NaNoCon 2025 updates list:

Venue & Lodging

Venue address: 1000 Hotel Avenue, Burns, TN 37029
(use this address on Google Maps for the best route)

Hotel Rooms at the Lodge

This year the hotel rooms are reserved just for us!
For the first time, we're taking over the whole resort -- it'll be a hotel full of secular friends, just happy heathens hanging out by the lake. Less than 100 rooms still available.

We have a special group rate of $178! (before taxes)
(Otherwise it would be $213 - $235 / night)

Room Reservations

Important: Do NOT try to reserve directly with the venue's webpage online, because it will show that weekend as "sold out" -- because all the rooms are blocked for us!

Instead, use the ROOM RESERVATIONS button on this page to access our special reduced group rate! (please do confirm that it's set to the correct arrival date & number of nights that you want to stay). If you prefer to reserve by phone, call 615-797-1600 but you must mention "NaNoCon" or they'll tell you they're sold out!

Special $178 rate for rooms with King or Double Queen beds. Some ADA-accessible rooms available. For any questions about lodging or special requests, contact NaNoCon here.

All rooms feature a beautiful view of the lake and a balcony. Free continental breakfast and wifi included. The Lodge offers a great restaurant, bar, and pool.

The Lodge
at Montgomery Bell State Park

Montgomery Bell State Park, located 50 minutes West of Nashville, TN, is a beautiful resort set in nature with excellent pool, bar, restaurant, gym, hiking, golfing, boating, and biking options.
(make your arrangements directly with the Park)

Getting There

By Car

Get directions to 1000 Hotel Avenue, Burns, TN on Google Maps. Apple Maps may show this address in White Bluffs, TN. Google Maps gives the best route, and is the recommended app.

Use the park entrance on US-70.

From Nashville take I-40 W, take exit 192 toward Pegram, then right on to McCrory Ln. Turn left on to US-70 W, and after 17 miles turn left on to Jackson Hill Rd (entrance to Montgomery Bell State Park). Follow directions to the Lodge, left on Hotel Ave. Follow the lane around the lake, 1.6 miles, to the Lodge, and you'll see signs for NaNoCon at the entrance!

By Plane

Nashville International Airport (BNA) is an hour by car East of the venue. If you need a ride from the airport, let us know using the Contact box... we can't promise, but we may be able to help you find a ride!
