Hidden within the rugged face of Tres Cuevas Mountain are two of the most unforgettable stays in all of Texas. At The Summit at Big Bend, the Onyx and Crystal Caves offer something few have experienced: a night inside a mountain, surrounded by desert, sky, and silence. These exclusive accommodations are carved directly into the rock, creating a private, fully-appointed retreat that feels at once ancient and luxurious.
As the only cave hotel rooms in Texas, they’ve drawn visitors from around the world seeking something more immersive than a standard vacation. Recently updated with refined details and premium finishes, these cave rooms now deliver an even higher level of comfort while maintaining their raw, natural charm.
True Comfort, Underground
Each luxury cave is equipped with a plush king-size bed, quality linens, and cozy lighting that enhances the glow of the surrounding stone walls. A private bathroom and walk-in shower offer a spa-like atmosphere, complete with rain heads and smooth concrete floors that feel refreshingly cool in the desert heat.
The caves include all the expected hotel amenities: AC and heat, a mini fridge, coffee station, WiFi, and even automatic backup generator power, so you're covered during any unexpected power outages. These features are seamlessly built into the stone interior, offering the convenience of a high-end suite in the most unexpected of places.
Private Outdoor Space, Big Views
Step through your floor-to-ceiling glass doors and you’re immediately greeted by wide-open desert. Your private patio space includes seating, hammock, propane grill, and a fire pit overlooking 100s of acres of Summit property, with sweeping views of Big Bend Ranch State Park and Big Bend National Park.
Each evening brings a front-row seat to the show: bold sunsets, endless stars, and total peace. It’s a one-of-a-kind vantage point where you can sip a cocktail, soak in the silence, or simply stare into the wide skies of West Texas.
Not Just a Room, an Experience
What makes the Summit’s luxury cave rooms so special isn't just their construction or their comfort. It’s how they make you feel. Built into the natural contours of Tres Cuevas Mountain, these rooms invite guests to feel grounded and inspired by the land itself. From the texture of the rock to the hush of the interior, everything about the space is connected to the mountain.
Luxury Reimagined in the Wild
These caves were designed to elevate your sense of escape. Recent enhancements have added elegant lighting, updated furnishings, and refined styling throughout, all while honoring the natural beauty of the space. The updated interiors blend seamlessly with the raw stone, creating an environment that is both grounding and elevated.
From the moment you step inside, you’ll notice the cool, cave air, the texture of the stone walls, and the soft warmth of the lighting. It’s a sensory reset unlike anything else.
