Stay in a Restored 1940s Texaco Station with Spa Bath & Oak Courtyard
Pull over beneath the old Texaco canopy and settle into a thoughtfully restored 1940s station with a spa-style bath, custom-built bed, private oak courtyard, and the kind of quiet that makes you stay up later than planned.
If you love unique stays and unexpected finds, you’ll feel right at home in our restored 1940s Texaco station turned roadside inn on historic US 67/84 in Bangs. Just minutes from Brownwood, Coleman, and Lake Brownwood State Park.
After a long Texas drive, settle in with premium coffee and tea, crisp cotton percale sheets, and thoughtful comforts throughout. End the evening beneath century-old oaks in our shared courtyard with the fire pit and swing-away wood-burning grill.

Very unique. Comfortable. Might be considered excellent IF a lot less noise from the highway and train track. Also, found nothing to make ice nor did we have any kind of bath soap. Might suggest a hook for towel right next to shower.
