Perfect for your visit to Big Bend.
Only 10 mins or so to the gate of the park, you won't mind the drive. It's beautiful all around. The cabin is comfy and has everything we needed. We used the grill each night and I appreciate the little touches of having spices, coffee, and oils. Thanks for a great stay!
