In a bittersweet announcement, Scott and Jenny Turner, owners of Mountain Trails Lodge, have revealed that they are passing the torch to new managers. While the Turners have chosen not to divulge the specifics of the new management’s plans, they hinted at an exciting future ahead.
The Turners, known for their hospitality and warm welcome to guests, expressed their gratitude to the countless individuals who have visited their establishment over the years, many of whom have grown into cherished friends. They emphasized that while they are stepping away from Mountain Trails Lodge, they are not going far, and their future endeavors will be concentrated on their Terlingua property.
“We truly appreciate your patronage and will miss seeing you all in Far West Texas,” the Turners stated, hinting at the enduring relationships they have fostered within the community.
Nestled among the cool mountains of Far West Texas, Mountain Trails Lodge has long served as a basecamp for adventurers exploring the Davis Mountains and Big Bend region. Its central location offers easy access to diverse activities, from birdwatching and hiking to immersing oneself in art galleries and museums, all while relishing the breathtaking landscapes and celestial wonders of the region.
Just under a mile from downtown Fort Davis, the lodge provides a tranquil country atmosphere, making it an ideal destination for those seeking relaxation or outdoor exploration.
Accommodations at Mountain Trails Lodge cater to various preferences. Duplex cabins are available with guest rooms featuring either two full-size beds, suitable for up to two adults and two children, or a single queen bed, accommodating a maximum of two adults. For larger families or those desiring self-catering options, the cottages offer more spacious layouts and fully equipped kitchens.
Guests can expect a range of amenities, including kitchenettes with small fridges, microwaves, and coffee makers in duplex cabins. Private bathrooms, heating, and air conditioning are standard features. Meanwhile, the cottages provide added privacy with separate bedrooms, spacious bathrooms, full kitchens, and convenient washer/dryer combos.
Set upon a sprawling 7-acre landscape just south of Fort Davis, Mountain Trails Lodge offers more than just cozy accommodations. The outdoor pavilion beckons with a gas grill, tables, chairs, and entertainment in the form of corn hole games. A propane fire pit provides a gathering spot for guests to unwind. The surroundings are adorned with water features, bird feeders, and wildlife habitats, creating an immersive experience for nature enthusiasts. An astronomy pad invites stargazing under the dark night skies, while vistas of mountain sunrises and sunsets enhance the visual splendor.
As the Turners step back from their stewardship of Mountain Trails Lodge, they leave a legacy of warmth and hospitality. Patrons can anticipate forthcoming announcements from the new management team, promising a continuation of the lodge’s legacy as a gateway to exploration and relaxation in the heart of Far West Texas.
