Enjoy A West Texas Weekend Away in Rustic Comfort

May 25, 2025 – The historic Indian Lodge, nestled in the scenic heart of Davis Mountains State Park in West Texas, has officially reopened after completing an extensive remodel. Originally built in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), the lodge is a beloved symbol of southwestern architecture, featuring its iconic white adobe walls and rustic charm. Now fully restored, Indian Lodge is once again ready to welcome guests seeking peace, nature, and a touch of Texas history.

For additional questions about booking, the Indian Lodge front office can be reached at (432) 426-3254.

“We sincerely thank our visitors for their patience during the temporary closure and look forward to welcoming you back to the tranquility and historic charm of Indian Lodge and the Black Bear Restaurant,” said Torrey Bonham, superintendent of Davis Mountains State Park.

With 39 guest rooms, Indian Lodge serves as both a serene getaway and a versatile venue for family reunions, business retreats, or outdoor adventures. While guest rooms do not offer Wi-Fi, connectivity is available in designated public hotspots, preserving a peaceful, unplugged atmosphere.

Guests can swim in the lodge’s pool while enjoying sweeping mountain views, dine on breakfast or lunch at the Black Bear Restaurant (open Thursday through Monday), and explore the park’s extensive trail system by foot or bike. Educational opportunities abound through park programs, the Interpretive Center, and birdwatching blinds.
