Milky Way and meteors!

This place was perfect. Went out there to catch some of the meteor shower and just enjoy the night sky, plus visit Big Bend. This was an awesome place for all of those things. The place is aptly named as you get a perfect view of the Milky Way. The cottage itself is wonderful. It has everything you need. The mattress is fairly comfortable. I'd recommend an air mattress if staying more than a couple days. I highly recommend this place for the serenity and peace you get. It's not a far drive to Big Bend. Thanks Amy for letting us share your wonderful space.
