Langridge Lodge

Langridge Lodge is a quiet and attractive studio located in Alpine, a beautiful little town in the far blue mountains of West Texas. The lodge is equipped with a queen size bed and every convenience, and is within walking distance of charming amenities. The Davis Mountains, west of Marathon's Glass Mountains, are part of the great Rocky Mountain massif extending west and north into New Mexico and Colorado.

Langridge Lodge is located at the junction of Highway 90 as you come in off Highway 67 from Interstate 10, on the very corner Highway 118 heads down south to the Big Bend. Parking is available right at the door; just turn right off Avenue E and you are here.

The fully-equipped shared kitchen is ready if you wish to cook on site, store food/drinks in the refrigerator, help yourself to the Keurig (pods provided) etc. We launder all linens, rugs, etc. in organic soap and air them outside in the sun, and clean with organic citrus cleaner: we use no chemicals on the property.

This time of year the big cottonwoods, elms, mesquites and pecans are leafing out, butterflies are in abundance on early blossoms and honeybees, hummingbirds and mockingbirds have returned - bright warm days, nights still cool: perfect weather. We will have fresh apricots in May!

Langridge Lodge is about one hour from Big Bend National Park, and already on the road (Hwy. 118). Alpine's bookshop is within walking distance; just behind it on the same street is Cedar Coffee, a good cup of hipster coffee (pods for the Keurig in the kitchen are found in your room). Local artists (some nationally known) exhibit in Alpine's galleries and unique locally-owned shops, most within walking distance from each other and from the Blue Room.

An array of good restaurants and streetside venders offers a variety of fresh interesting food in Alpine. Blue Water Natural Foods, just south of town on Hwy. 118, is an organic-foods grocery; "Porters" is a well-supplied locally-owned grocery store. Alpine has three or four charming historic venues for cocktails and conversation, and our Museum of the Big Bend is a four-block walk up the hill from our Lodge.

Big Bend Saddlery makes real-life cowboy gear which is shipped worldwide, as well as museum-quality custom leather goods and clothing, including world-famous Spradley cowboy hats, still made next door to the Saddlery on antique French machinery dating from the 1800's. In Marfa (where you can see the historic Paisano Hotel), you will see the restored Court House and a lot more; several other good restaurants, bistros and coffee spots, a charming local museum, many galleries. Fort Davis and Marathon are twenty-five scenic minutes away toward the north and east.

You may be interested to know that the proceeds from our studio help to support an orphanage and school in Pakistan, where child victims of religious violence find refuge, safety and schooling. Our contribution helps pay for buildings, food and clothing, books and supplies, and medicines.

No pets.

Please note: Included in the cleaning fee price is damage waiver coverage in place of a traditional damage deposit so you can have a carefree stay.
