If you are looking to get away from (most of it all) this might be the place for you. There is a roughly 2 hour drive from Marfa. 1 hour on a paved road and a little over an hour on a nicely maintained gravel road. The scenery and desolation of this place is a level of getting away from it all that I haven't experienced in America. The 2+ hour drive really put me in a good mental place, ready for a quiet hot tub in nature. Once we arrived, two couples, one couple had reserved a minimally isolated cabin. I was in a room that shared a wall with a family of 4. The family of 4 had an outside water trough that shared an outside wall with my room. Not the kind of isolation I had expected after the drive. The location had a cooling off pool that supposedly had great views of the sunset. I decided to take an afternoon nap at 4pm. Unfortunately the owner was cutting concrete blocks with a grinder until after 5pm. Tough nap environment. Once the cutting stopped a range rover pulled about 3.5 feet from my door and started unloading. The family was very nice and reasonably quiet, but we were only separated by a 6" wall. Not a relaxing environment. I gave up on the nap and headed down to the "Hot Springs". I removed the blue plastic bubble wrap from the tub. It was covered in mildew as is probably the norm in a hot tub. There was a greenish tinge to the water that made this feel a bit more natural like a hot spring. There was a white pvc pipe in the bottom that suggested the water was coming from the pump house that slightly blocked the view of the dry stream. You could hear the pump motor running. The tub was nice, but didn't give me the feeling of nature like the Natural Hot Spring that is down the road in Big Bend National Park on the Rio Grande. I thought I might be able to salvage the trip by renting on of the more isolated cabins. I went in to the office and found the owners at dinner. No other cabins were available. I don't know if they had embraced the Nature of this place, as they were about to install an 84" tv in their little house. They were doing the unboxing that night. The communal kitchen was great and well stocked with all needed tools for a great cooking experience. As you might already know, bring your own food and alcohol. Headed out the next morning for more great views and only 1 destroyed tire on my 4x4 ford f150. We put the spare on and were on our way. There are some steps that could really make this a destination. The main one would be to organize each cabin as separated from the others with a screened outdoor hot tub. Watching the stars from here would be great. A galvanized cattle trough is a different thing. Renting out the entire place with a group of friends could be a great evening.

This is a great little place. The cabins are comfortable, the shared kitchen facilities are well appointed, the hot tub is excellent, staff is friendly, and the scenery is hard to beat. It is out in the middle of nowhere. Know that you aren't going to get a cell signal out there, there is no WiFi, and that you should top off your gas tank in Presidio. Bring anything you want to eat or drink with you. The 7-mile dirt road to get there isn't bad. Anything that isn't lowered could get there. Make sure you put a heavy rock on your cooler to keep out the critters. There is a great little canyon trail leading to a bunch of painted rocks. They aren't artifacts or anything, but they are cool. Don't climb the stairs near there. It leads to private property.
