The Astronomers Lodge at the University of Texas McDonald Observatory is a dark sky stay near Marfa, set up for nights under some of the country's darkest skies. It's in a recognized dark-sky area. Skies here sit around Bortle class 2. Spend the evening watching the Milky Way rise, then settle into a comfortable base for the next day's exploring. Telescope access, exact accommodations, and rates are confirmed directly with the host — check availability before you plan your trip around a new moon.
