Such a great visit . Loved my teepee experience. It was a fairly chilly night but the fire and electric blankets kept me warm . I hope to return with friends someday soon.

It is close to the highway so you can definitely hear highway noise (though it is Marfa and not Houston) and there is also a railroad not too far away so a train came through 6am. It IS camping and there were dogs around that were barking so you could hear them. The facilities were great though! We stayed in teepees that were awesome!

Great wonderful place to get away from it all. Special tent accommodations and they even have teepees! Wonderful stargazing!! A “must” for anyone!!! Great outdoor showers and toilets with all the amenities! Bring your own toiletries.

Something out of the ordinary

If you are seeking a unique, unconventional experience, this is the place to stay. It offers an outdoor setting, yet the public areas are cleaner than those in most standard hotels. Highly recommended for the adventurous or those looking for something out of the ordinary.

Warm cozy beds, wild pigs!

The bed in the safari tent is sooo comfortable and the bed warmer was perfect to keep us comfortable and cozy thru the night. The only downside was that a wild pig dumped over the trash near the office and parking lot. I picked up the one near the office, but the parking lot trash remained scattered until we checked out late that morning.

This review will sound unfair, because I booked late and didn’t account for the weather. My girlfriend and I arrived near sunset, and booked the tent accommodation on the website about an hour before we arrived. It looked great on Expedia, and the outdoor shower and bathroom sounded fun. But after I checked in I saw the tent was dirty, the outdoor bathroom looked unkempt, and the hottubs were booked up (people book the tubs for 7-11pm… why? So many other people could enjoy them in that time). Also, when I checked in, they couldn’t find my reservation. They said Expedia hadn’t synced up with them. After a long delay and a couple phone calls, the front desk finally ok’ed the reservation. We looked at the tent, bathrooms and shower, and my girlfriend looked very unhappy. I also looked at the weather report and realized it was going to be 34°F The front desk offered additional blankets, and reassured us the electric blankets were good, but somehow it looked like camping at a national park for five times the cost. I asked to cancel, but they wouldn’t refund us the money. I sent a sweet email and asked for a refund, but didn’t get a response. So… I sucked up the cost as a bad decision to come here. Sorry folks, I was looking forward to this visit, but my experience was bad

Since we arrived on the first hot day after a cold spell, the a/c in the yurts hadn’t been switched from heat to a/c but the maintenance people were very responsive in addressing it quickly. Loved the yurt experience!
