It was basic as for the accommodations; however, it was presented that way in its description. The restaurant nearby provided an array of comfort foods.

Challenging drive in…16 miles off main road, last 3 rough gravel. Restaurant on site was good, didn’t use pool. Definitely a rustic setting.

A bit far from Big Bend, significant enough to definitely take not of if you're considering staying here. However, totally an oasis in the desert and a great way to cap off our trip. The pool and the stargazing on the grounds was definitely a highlight.

This was an interesting place in that it has a lot of open space. Room was clean. If you like looking at the sky at night, this is a place to see all of the stars. There is no TV and internet can be spotty at times. But a great place to sit outside, play card/board games and enjoy the scenery. It was very relaxing. It is a little bit of a drive to Big Ben Nal’l Park and into the nearby town. The on-site restaurant, Bad Rabbit, was good, friendly and had great internet access.

My friends rented a hotel that was full, so I had to find my own place. I was VERY surprised that in a town of population 236, my choice was 47 miles (an hour's drive) from where they stayed near Ghost ranch. That was inconvenient. Also, very little (i.e. none) staff support outside 9-5 schedule.

Well, first off it takes 30 min to get there from the main road. The last 5 min is a caliche Road! Very dark and secluded. Kinda of scary for this city girl. Only had a small frig was expecting a microwave & coffee maker too. The internet service was spotty. The shower was very small meant for an RV. No soap to was your hands. It’s like a duplex and the wall is so thin you can hear the conversation next door . Will not be coming back.

We'd go back any day!

This is a great base for Big Bend roaming. We were ok on the unpaved road in our van but those not used to it may want a suv/crossover/truck. This is glamping- not 5 star hotel- everything in the room is outfitted as such. It was the perfect mix of comforts and still getting that outdoorsy feel. We saw deer, ringtail cats, javalina, lots of quail & roadrunners. The views are lovely & the food was good.
