About this property

Judy`s Mule - Schoolie with Outdoor Movie Theatre

Who was Judy? She was a West Texas icon who rode her burro across the Big Bend Region, living outdoors and under the stars, with only her burro as a companion. As a child I remember seeing her riding along the highway, all of her worldly belonging strapped to her burro, a Judy sighting was special! She was a free & independent spirit, beloved by the locals, who saw more sunsets & sunrises than most ever will.

The Stay: Converted little `schoolie` under a very BIG sky! Relax in the grass & watch movies under the stars with the outdoor movie theatre. Be ready for a washer tournament in your private yard shaded by sun sails, and lit up with outdoor string lights. Snuggle up by the fire, or roast marshmallows in your private fire pit. Eat, drink, and be merry on the expansive shaded porch, or relax in the hammock and let your cares drift away.

Greenhouse Bathroom: Soak away the day in the vintage cast iron tub (bubble bath & Epsom salts provided). Private & romantic, located steps away from the bus.

This isn`t only a unique stay, but a comfortable one. You will not be roughing it, I promise!
