I would highly recommend a "stone cottage", actually it's cinder block. The lodge sits within a bowl, or basin, shaped valley which has an awesome view of the landscape down below as well as a small waterfall. The area has more trees than the surrounding desert. The restaurant staff, food and atmosphere were great. Also, in the area is a store and ranger station. Take the hiking trail to Window View if you want an incredible sight to see, although it is 3 miles round-trip if you have the energy to walk downhill and back up. The night sky was fantastic. My room had a small fridge, coffee maker, clock radio, and microwave. I don't remember seeing a hairdryer. There is no TV. You CANNOT get cellphone reception here. The store sells phone cards. A pay phone is outside the store. There is no gas station here, but there is one at the bottom of the mountain at Panther Junction, 3 miles away. There are campgrounds for trailers and tents in the basin as well. I hope you get a chance to experience it. Also, you don't have to stay the night here to see Chisos Basin.
