Keep in mind that on a stormy day, there will be less power available. In case of really bad weather (rare), there could be no power at all and therefore all amenities requiring electricity won’t work.

The location is a little drive but not far from the Big Bend park. The place had everything we needed. We ended up grilling every evening. The sunsets and sunrises were perfect at our location. (Blue Door). We both agreed that we would stay here again.
This place is great. It has everything you can think you would need (or forget).Just very short drive in to town and big Ben. Amazing view of the starts just right outside your dome. I would definitely recommend this place and will be staying again in the future.
Generally good instructions everything worked well. A few glitches, nothing that diminished the experience. We enjoted the dome thought it could have been cleaner.
