Fully appointed desert home

I came with two friends on a bird watching trip to Big Bend. We had everything we needed to cook meals daily and the beds were very comfortable. Star gazing on the front porch was amazing but even better were the new birds that we saw while enjoying a glass of wine out front; roadrunners, scaled quail, hummingbirds, orioles, and even a green tailed towhee! The hosts were very responsive and answered our questions promptly. We will definitely come back to stay again next time we are in the area.

If you want a nice place To stay with all the amenities, stay here! We were 2 couples traveling together and the set up was perfect. The house is super comfortable and in a great location for the park and local restaurants! 15 minutes to the park and recommend El Gordon’s Food truck for great Mexican food!

Perfect for our family of five in terligua

Terligua is a very unique place with lots of unusual housing. Our family of two adults and three teens was very thankful to find this very comfortable house with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. We had a hot water heater issue and the management had it solved within an hour. I'd definitely stay here again!

Perfect hideaway close to Terlingua

We were so close to Terlingua that we could even walk there if we didn’t feel like driving downtown, but far enough that you can have total peace and quiet. The sunsets from the front porch were spectacular and we saw so many stars at night…this perfect hideaway was just what we needed for our weekend getaway!
