If you've ever visited the rugged and remote Davis Mountains State Park, then you probably saw the Indian Lodge. This historic, full-service hotel - sections of which date to the 1930s - offers parkgoers a much-needed respite after a day of hiking, biking, and exploring the vast landscape of West Texas. While the lodge was already a bucket-list-worthy place to stay, it's about to get even better thanks to a $3.5 million remodel. Renovations are already underway and the finished product is sure to be worthy of a pilgrimage. Here's everything you need to know about the Davis Mountains State Park Indian Lodge renovations:

The historic Indian Lodge at Davis Mountains State Park is getting quite a makeover.

Boasting 39 rooms - some of which were built by the CCC in the 1930s - the lodge is an oasis in vast West Texas landscape, offering parkgoers a place to stay overnight after a long day of exploring the beautiful Davis Mountains.

Current amenities include a swimming pool, a restaurant that serves breakfast and lunch, a meeting room, Wi-Fi hotspots, and more.

Rooms sleep between two and six guests and offer a wide range of modern amenities, including central heat and A/C, coffee makers, cable TV, and private bathrooms with showers.

Exact amenities vary from room to room, so you'll want to visit the Texas Parks & Wildlife website to be sure.

The lodge is currently closed for the remodel and should reopen in January 2024.

As far as the specifics of the publicly-funded renovation project, it includes replacing windows, building pergolas, upgrading the doors to guest rooms, and making the pool accessible.

Also on the docket are adding new walkways and accessible parking spaces to the grounds.

Reservations will become available as soon as a reopening date is definitively set.

While you can't stay at the lodge right now, that's no reason not to visit the state park.

Whether you hike or bike one of the many trails, birdwatch, or even ride your horse on one of the equestrian trails, Davis Mountains is an excellent day trip.

I can't wait to book a room at the Indian Lodge in 2024 - it's been on my bucket list for years, and I think I'm finally going to take the plunge.

I'm sure it's going to look even more incredible once the renovations are finished!
