Luxury Cave Glamping at The Summit at Big Bend

We stayed at the Summit for our home base to Big Bend National Park. It was a great place to recharge and relax on the porch under the stars. Definitely recommend the super dome with private bath if you can afford it. If not the shared kitchen and bath area was well kept and very useful for cooking meals. Very quiet and peaceful. The 360 degree view from the summit was worth the effort and the hammocks and picnic table was a nice surprise. Everything was exactly as pictured on the website and communications via text was great. Very attentive and checked in multiple times to make sure things were to our satisfaction. Definitely recommend if headed to big bend area. They have hikes on the property too so you could make a great vacation even if you never left the property.

We just returned from a 3 night stay at The Summit at Big Bend. We stayed in the luxury dome and enjoyed a wonderful stay! The domes are spacious, a/c was powerful and as other reviews noted, it was very clean, the kitchen was very well appointed and the bathroom in the dome was fantastic. I have to comment on plants in the domes, they are in the unit as they are in the photos and I have to say, it was a really beautiful feature of the room. You are out in a very hot desert and to see greenery like that in your dome felt truly luxurious. Stargazing was spectacular at night. We would definitely come back! Thank you so much!

The domed tents are great. I was in #18 and overall, we loved the experience. Its a little over 2 miles off the main road. I recommend an suv or 4x4 vehicle. Cars can make it but water and rocks may make it difficult. There are signs directing you to the direction of the domes but the signage could be better. It was difficult getting the key out of the lock box, in the heat but we managed. AC was running when we arrived. Power went out for nearly 24 hours in the entire town after a major storm. Coolers and ice saved our food and kept the drinks cold. Maintenance crews were on-site Friday-Sunday during our stay. Restrooms and showers were kept clean. Our firepit had some leftover trash that we had to clear. A wild pig showed up on our campsite and eventually went away. There was plenty of places to eat so we didn't need to bring much food. We saw a lot of stars even with some clouds in the sky. We could've seen more if it weren't for the light pollution in the area and vehicle traveling in and out throughout the nights. I expecit to be really dark but I could've ade my way around without the flashlight. Saturday night until Sunday moring around 530 am there was loud, heavy bass, music playing the entire time. The biggest issue we experienced was the poor internet connectivity. Wifi was available but we couldn't connect consistently to the internet because no IP address was available. Overall, it was a really good experience. It could easily be a great experience if they can figure out how to provide consistent internet connectivity. We will come again

The Summit dome we stayed in was a delight! From the charm of the room and amenities to the comfort of the bed, we couldn’t have been more pleased. And the views! We sat on the deck and watched the stars come out then spread out on the hammock so we could see them all. We appreciated the keurig coffee maker and the fridge since we stayed in a unit with its own bathroom and kitchen area. We didn’t get around to actually cooking or making a fire in the fire pit but everything was there. Everything was clean and comfortable and the hosts reached out and were so helpful. We would stay here again.

Unforgettable stay with breathtaking views and top-notch comfort! Searching the web for a place to stay near Big Bend, we stumbled upon The Summit at Big Bend and what an amazing property it is! Our group stayed in both Casa Grande and Casa Del Sol, and we couldn't have been happier with our experience. Casa Grande is huge, beautifully appointed, and offers incredible, sweeping views. It is remarkably quiet and peaceful up there. The bedrooms are spacious, and the king-sized beds were super comfortable after long days of exploring. We loved the open layout, the kitchen, dining room, living room, and parlor flow together seamlessly while still giving each area its own distinct space. The outdoor space is just as impressive. There is plenty of seating, including a covered outdoor dining area, comfy Adirondack chairs, and a couple of hammocks perfect for relaxing. Having both a chiminea and a fire pit with plenty of wood provided was a fantastic touch for our evenings. Plus, the location of the house feels nicely secluded from the nearby domes, giving you complete privacy. One important tip for future travelers: While the website states that 4WD or 4x4 isn't strictly necessary, I would strongly suggest coming in a 4WD or high-clearance 4x4 vehicle, especially if you plan to drive all the way up to the summit. Believe me, you’ll want to make that drive because the view from the top is absolutely spectacular! We all had an incredible time and truly cannot wait to go back. Highly recommended!
