Indian Lodge, Fort Davis

As one drives through the Rose Hill pass rising out of the Permean Basin, the air cools and there is a change in perception as the Davis Mountains envelopes you. Passing through the Eastern edge of Fort Davis, a short trip to the entrance of the State Park and then 2 miles until the Indian Lodge!
There are historical rooms, maintained and restored in the original building as well as a new section, with are larger and less expensive.

The place is charming, restful and set in the midst of the State Park. You can lay back and live there, with the Black Bear Restaurant at your door, or use the Lodge as a base of operations for excursions. In the mid-summer, the cooler temperature, low humidity and clear air make this an oasis!

Staff are friendly and accomodating, but the ambience is basically one of "indoor camping"..ie no conceirge, room service, etc. No spa or masseause on premesis, just a beautiful place that you can make of your time there as you please!

If you have a kvetchy princess style spouse or loud obnoxious, whiney kids, please do not come here. I like to go at least once a year and value the silence from human pollution.

There are other accomodations in Fort Davis, but none with this at your door setting. It is like having a spacious tent with indoor plumbing, TV and A/C. Weekdays in spring and fall are particularly peaceful. Summer and particularly July 4th and weekends require reservations 364 days in advance.
