A weekend away at Lajitas is just what my soul needed. The grounds are so beautifully maintained, it just gives me peace to sit and admire it. Many walking/hiking trails nearby and a beautiful, mostly quiet pool to enjoy. The restaurant, coffee shop and general store were all excellent as well.

Big Bend

If you are looking at a place near big bend I can’t recommend this place more. Had anything you could really need on site which was convenient because there isn’t exactly a Walmart close by. The staff was friendly and the grounds were very well kept. Would absolutely stay here again if I am ever in the area.
