When the lady on the moon comes into view, you’re almost here 🌙
Our iconic roadside billboard means you’re just about a mile away from a cozy room, wide-open skies, and a good night’s rest.

June is here, and so is another month of spectacular West Texas skies. 🌙✨

If you’re chasing dark skies, circle June 15th on your calendar — it’s the New Moon and one of the best nights of the month to look up.

Whether you’re joining a star party, photographing the Milky Way, or simply enjoying the view from a lawn chair, this month’s calendar will help you find the perfect night.

Happy stargazing! 🌌

We love four-legged visitors around here 🐾💛
Just a friendly reminder that while dogs are welcome on the property and at our RV sites, they aren’t allowed inside motel rooms.

If your pup joins you, please help us keep the grounds beautiful by cleaning up after them and using the designated pet relief areas rather than the courtyard. We appreciate your help in keeping things comfortable for everyone — humans and pups alike!
