👽 Hiking trails with hidden aliens and Easter eggs 🥚
Our space-themed resort combines art, technology, comfort, and the bizarre. Our Pods are perched on the side of a 100-foot-tall volcanic hill, offering guests breathtaking views of the sweeping landscapes of Big Bend and the surrounding mountains. While hiking around our volcanic hill, you will find an abundance of weird desert plants, aliens, spaceships, meteors, and other Easter eggs.
Located on Highway 118, we are just an 11-minute drive from Big Bend National Park and the charming Terlingua Ghost Town with its many shops, restaurants, mines, and art. Our galactic resort offers a unique experience atop a 100-foot-high volcanic hill surrounded by majestic meteor rocks. From this vantage point, you can take in panoramic views of the National Park, State Park, Santa Elena Canyon, and the Chisos Mountains of Mexico.
Inside your Space Pod, you'll find everything you need for a relaxing stay, including electrical outlets, air conditioning, a fridge, and even lasers that project iridescent nebulas gliding across your ceiling for a truly immersive experience. Our water comes from a 750-foot-deep aquifer, ensuring it is both soft and clean. Remember that water in the desert is a precious resource, so we kindly ask that you limit your showers to 5 minutes.
Unlike traditional geodesic Pods, our Pods consist of rigid plastic, allowing us to have crystal-clear windows. With one-third of the Pod being a window, you can enjoy the stars directly from your bed or close the massive curtains for some privacy.
🚿🍳 You’ll also have a private bathroom and full kitchen, all inside your pod for maximum comfort! ✨ We will provide you with a towel, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. You are welcome to use our common grilling areas or enjoy the fire pit located next to your Pod.
After a day spent exploring the park, watch the sunset from our hammock chairs and then relax around your own personal fire pit as the stars begin to light up the night sky. At the end of the day, slip under a plush comforter and warm blankets and sleep soundly in the Space Pod's memory foam queen-size bed.
