Big Lake sits on the wide-open plains of Reagan County in West Texas, a ranch and oilfield town where the Santa Rita well first struck the Permian Basin oil boom. The Best Western Plus Big Lake Inn makes a comfortable base in Big Lake, Texas, close to the ranch country, the oilfields, the West Texas rodeo grounds, and the highway between San Angelo and the Permian Basin.

A free hot breakfast opens the morning, the rooms hold a flat-screen TV, microwave, and refrigerator, and the pool waits out back. The Santa Rita No. 1 well near Big Lake launched the Permian Basin oil boom that still drives the region.
