About your Pod 004Picture yourself gazing at the stars through the panoramic windows of your dome, feeling the awe-inspiring beauty of the cosmos envelop you. Our space-themed resort combines art, technology, comfort, and the bizarre. Our domes 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.We arejust a 11 minute drive from Big Bend National Park and the charming Terlingua Ghost Town with it's 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 Canyonand theChisos Mountainsof Mexico. Pod004 is located by the parking lot at the bottom of the hilland offers a private parking spot with great view of the park. This Space Pod is perfect for families and people with mobility issues.Inside your Space Pod, you'll find everything you need for a relaxing stay, including electrical outlets, air conditioning, a fridge, a fan, 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 domes, our Space Pods consist of rigid plastic, allowing us to have crystal-clear windows. With one-third of the dome being a window, you can enjoy the stars directly from your bed or close the massive curtains for some privacy.Our amenities include shared outdoor bathrooms at the bottom of the hill and indoor bathrooms at the top of the hill. 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 dome.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 undera plush comforter and warmblankets and sleep soundly inthe Space Pod's memory foam queen size bed.FAQ (Short Answers)Check-in: 4pm–9pm | Check-out: 11amEarly check-in / late check-out: $35 feeTerrain: Most Pods and sites are on top of a hill and require a sometimes-steep hike.ATV Service: 9am–9pm for Pods 005, 007, 008, 009, 010, and 012 (luggage only)OccupancyPods 002, 004, 005, 008, 009: 3 adults max OR 2 adults + 2 kidsPods 007 & 010: 2 people maxPod 012: 2 queen beds | up to 4 adults + 2 kidsFort 003: 3 queen beds + 2 sofa beds; optional extra memory foam mattress ($95).
