The Local Chapter.

The Local Chapter offers a high-desert retreat on 400 private acres bordering Big Bend National Park. Eschewing traditional hotel structures for four secluded, luxury yurts, the property prioritizes space and silence. Each yurt functions as a high-end suite, featuring a king-sized bed positioned directly beneath a ceiling skylight for stargazing within a designated International Dark Sky Area. The interiors lean into a refined aesthetic with full bathrooms, climate control, and wood-burning stoves, balancing modern comfort with a rugged landscape. While the property lacks Wi-Fi to encourage an unplugged experience, it provides telescopes for observing the Chisos Mountains and private fire pits for cold desert nights. It is a base for those who want the isolation of the backcountry without sacrificing a hot shower or a plush mattress.
