SPECIAL NOTE:
While Palo Santo is in Lajitas, it is not part of the resort. There is no access to the resort pool. Other resort amenities, including Black Jack’s Crossing golf course, restaurant, bar, and spa are typically open to the public. HOWEVER, the resort does exercise their right to restrict access as they see fit during certain hours, busy times, or during private events. Please contact the resort directly regarding access to any of their amenities.
Guest Access:
Private and secure access is provided with a key code that opens the entry door and patio door. No need to schedule your arrival time or meet with the hosts to obtain a key.
The Neighborhood:
Located on top of the hill on the west side of Lajitas, overlooking Lajitas, the Rio Grande, and mountain vistas of Texas and Mexico. Quick and easy access to Lajitas, Big Bend Ranch State Park, and the Rio Grande. Just a 15 minute drive to the historic Terlingua Ghost Town, or 25 minutes to the entrance to Big Bend National Park.
Check with the Lajitas Resort regarding access to Black Jack's Crossing golf course and other resort amenities. Access is sometimes limited to resort guests (we are not part of the resort), especially at busy times or during private events. We do not have any control over any restrictions they might impose.
Other Things to Note:
Please respect our local "dark sky" initiatives to reduce light pollution and preserve our world class star gazing. Please conserve water, but not to the point of inconvenience or discomfort. If you have questions, concerns, or problems during your stay, please contact us. We will be eager to assist you.
Interaction with Guests:
The hosts, Daryl & Janet Eby of Big Bend Vacation Rentals, and their staff, all live in the area. We manage dozens of private vacation homes. We usually do not meet our guests in person. However, we are always available if needed. The best way to reach us while here is to text or call Daryl's cell. His number is provided to all guests.
