Very neat place in the make of nowhere!
We really enjoyed everything about our stay. The room was clean and had everything we needed. There is a pool in the property that is very clean and you cannot beat the views there. The cafe on sight was delicious as well.The only thing that we wished we would have known ahead of time is that you must drive down a very, very long dirt road to get there. It you want a quiet place in the desert, this is your place!

Way off the grid
It's way off the highway! No tv, radio or cell phone reception. GREAT!! They do have good fast WIFI.
Onsite restaurant serves good meal variety at resonable prices. Interesting Carroll Shelby history.

A bit of a drive down the road but definitely worth it. The stars were beautiful and the drive to big bend was shorter than expected. Definitely worth it

this was a nice place to stay at, staff was nice, very clean although i had a few concerns, the wifi here was not very good, i originally booked a room here bc i thought i would have access to wifi, the window unit was kinda loud which made it hard to sleep at night and rooms also had no TV. the views/night sky were beautiful!

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.

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.

Generally very good. Restaurant excellent. Bathroom needs some work. Found it too distant when visiting Big Bend NP.
