About the Ranch
The Experience
As Bee Cave Canyon comes into view at the end of the 10 mile drive on the northern edge of Big Bend National Park, you know you have arrived somewhere otherworldly. Chalk Draw is akin to a resort in the middle of the desert. The pool, manicured lawns, and garden are unlike anything you could have expected to find 60 miles from the nearest town. The Santiago Mountains surround you for adventurous exploration, and then as the sun sets and the stars begin to shine, head up to the rooftop deck for an unparalleled view.
The Accommodations
The thoughtfully designed and lavishly appointed Mexican hacienda style guest house has two bedrooms and two bathrooms comfortably sleeping six people. The house includes a fully equipped kitchen, Wifi, outdoor cooking and dining area, and a spacious living room.
Historical Significance
Chalk Draw contains some of the most significant existing petroglyphs and pictographs from prehistoric native peoples in the region. There are 46 known sites that can be found on the ranch. A hike into Bee Cave Canyon, the largest know rock shelter in the Big Bend area, provides an unforgettable experience, a hidden tinaja, and a rich record of the activities of those who occupied the land more than 4,000 years ago.
