The Ruins A 12-unit desert archipelago, thoughtfully curated across multiple elevations, featuring historic, culturally resonant lodgings with generous shaded outdoor spaces—crafted for those in search of escape, adventure, and a life beyond mass commercialism—at the edge of society in a town that dead-ends into over a million acres of raw, mysterious desert, where trails disappear into the horizon and nights are lit only by moon and stars in a protected Dark Sky region. Rooted in the heart of a vibrant West Texas art and music hub, where storytelling is the native tongue and people come to be themselves, explore, adventure, or embrace the absence of many things which we all find ourselves taking for granted.
