_**Langridge Lodge and The Blue Room, clean and quiet accommodation in our
corner of Alpine, with every charming amenity within walking distance!. **_
The Blue Room is our second charming quiet studio with a queen size bed in the
beautiful little town of Alpine. Clean, quiet and comfortable, as pretty as
we can make it, the room is a little sanctuary out here in our far blue
mountains. These are the Davis Mountains, west of Marathon's Glass
Mountains, part of the great Rocky Mountain massif extending west and north
into New Mexico and Colorado. The Blue Room is located at the junction of
Highway 90 and Cockrell Street, on the very corner of Highway 118, which heads
down south to the Big Bend.
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 are in your
room), etc. Next to the kitchen is the courtyard, perfect for your morning
cup of coffee, breakfast, lunch or dinner, or an evening cocktail; a firepit
is there for warmth in the cooler months. From there you can hear the bells
from Sul Ross up on the hill.
We clean only with organic citrus cleaner; no chemicals are used on the
property. Our linens, rugs, etc. are laundered with organic soap and then
aired outside in the sun.
This time of year all of nature can tell that spring is coming: the
mockingbirds are back! Elk can be seen early in the morning in the wide
grassy slopes under the palisades near Fort Davis. Javelina continue their
weekly rounds here in town, looking for pecans; often there are deer nearby in
the early morning and evening. The morning air is alive with dovesong;
hummingbirds have returned. We have a great new restaurant west of town,
"Spicewood" . There will be a list in your room of local restaurants and
notable scenes and activities around town.
Langridge Lodge and The Blue Room are about an 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, where you can get a good cup of hipster coffee.
Alpine has galleries where local artists, some internationally known, exhibit,
and unique locally-owned shops, most within walking distance from each other
and from our Lodge and The Blue Room.
An array of small 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. Historic Big Bend Saddlery makes real-time
cowboy gear and ships worldwide, as well as famous Spradley cowboy hats, still
made by hand next door to the Saddlery on antique French machinery from the
1800's. In Marfa (where you can see the historic Paisano Hotel (be sure to
walk all the way to the back, to the beautiful open-air screened pool) you
will see the restored Court House and a lot more, bistros and coffee spots, a
charming local museum, lots of galleries. Fort Davis and Marathon are twenty-
five scenic minutes away toward the north and east. The weather in the Park
is ideal just now.
You might like to know that proceeds from our two rooms help support an
orphanage and school in Pakistan, where child victims of religions violence
find refuge, safety and schooling. Our contributions help pay for buildings,
food and clothing, books and supplies, and medicines, and support the teachers
and staff..

- "We had stayed at a local hotel before, when visiting Alpine. This was much better, and we will be back. Private driveway, wonderful patio garden and landscaping. I suggested 'black out curtains' would be helpful after a long night of shooting-star watching. I think the owner thought it was a good idea, and one she just hadn't thought of. We really appreciated the complimentary chocolates and bottled water, too. A thoughtful touch. We didn't use the kitchen. We used the local restaurants!"

_**Langridge Lodge, a clean and quiet corner of Alpine, with every charming
amenity within walking distance!**_
Langridge Lodge, Alpine, is a quiet, attractive studio with a queen size bed
and every convenience in the far blue mountains of West Texas, in the
beautiful little town of Alpine. These are the Davis Mountains, west of
Marathon's Glass Mountains, 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.
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). Parking is available right at the door; just turn right
off Avenue E and you are here.
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

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

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 (be sure to walk all
the way to the back so you can see the beautiful open-air sheltered pool), 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. And the weather in the Park is perfect right now -

- "The host was very helpful . Very clean, quiet get away. I liked the set up with the kitchen and loved the courtyard. We had breakfast every morning in the courtyard." - "Next time we’re in the area, we’ll definitely stay at this place. Great courtyard and set up." - "Beautiful place. Room was a little small, but very nice. Owner very conscientious about supplying everything that would be expected in a nice hotel room. The shared kitchen area being in a separate place is a little inconvenient, but easy enough to work around. Was surprised not to have a TV in room, but brought our own. Enjoyed getting to know owner. We had several things in common."
