Lajitas House - River and Mountain Views
Summary: Lajitas House offers comfort and convenience with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Located in the historic Lajitas Resort, just 30 minutes from Big Bend National Park, 20 minutes from the Terlingua Ghost Town, one mile from Big Bend Ranch State Park, and a short walk to the Lajitas boardwalk. Relax in the shade of our front porch. Prepare your meals in our fully equipped kitchen. Visit with family or friends in our beautifully decorated living room. Retire for the night in our comfortable bedrooms.
The Space: Lajitas House is in the historic Lajitas Resort area just 30 minutes from the beauty of the Big Bend National Park and 1 mile from the Big Bend Ranch State Park. Both parks have a variety of hikes and some truly spectacular scenery. Be sure to visit the local Barton Warnock Environmental Education Center on the east side of Lajitas for information and interesting exhibits.
Afterwards, relax in the shade of our front porch, enjoy the pristine view out across the shimmering Rio Grande River into the majestic mountains of Mexico or walk down the hill and sit by the river. Enjoy the peacefulness that underlies the Lajitas experience.
Lajitas House is within walking distance to the Lajitas boardwalk which offers shopping and a full service spa. Walk to the historic Lajitas Trading Post, which includes a deli, or to the Candellia, an excellent restaurant on the boardwalk where you can enjoy a meal in rustic elegance outdoors or in. The Thirsty Goat Bar offers a variety of libations in a comfortable and richly decorated environment.
PLEASE NOTE: Lajitas House is ideally located for easy access to resort facilities in Lajitas (except, there is no access to the resort pool). However, please note that at busy times, during private events, or at the whim of resort staff, Lajitas Resort may limit access to the golf course, bar, restaurants, or other resort amenities and only serve resort guests. We recommend that guests check with Lajitas Resort to verify access to any resort amenities they may plan to utilize, including world-class golfing at Black Jack's Crossing, the Agave Spa, and the Equestrian Center.
A twenty minutes drive east and you are in the historic Terlingua Ghost Town. The world famous Chili Cook-off Championship occurs annually early in November. In Terlingua you can enjoy dining at The Starlight Theatre Restaurant and Bar and shopping at the Trading Post.
A short drive west from Lajitas House on the spectacular River Road (Texas 170) takes you through the magnificent vistas of Big Bend Ranch State Park and past historic Fort Leaton to the official border crossing at Presidio. On the Mexican side is the city of Ojinaga, site of the historic Battle of Ojinaga between the rebel soldiers of Pancho Villa and Mexican Federales.
Recently the crossing into Boquillas, a small Mexican border town on the Rio Grande Mexico became a reality. If you choose to make this adventure part of your Big Bend experience, you must have a passport. Boquillos is on the east side of Big Bend National Park. Remember: You must have an unexpired passport.
The Neighborhood: Lajitas House is ideally located for easy access to resort facilities in Lajitas (except the private pool).

I appreciated how easy checking in and checking out of the house was. It was nice not having to mess with a physical key. Everything was clean and the views from the front porch were incredible.
We really enjoyed our stay at Lajitas House. There was a little issue when we first arrived. Daryl and Josh had it fixed within the hour and were so nice about it. We definitely got the impression that they're very serious about wanting their guests to enjoy their stay. The house had a beautiful view and was very quiet. We'd definitely stay there again.

Wonderful House for Family Vacation
Our family of four had a WONDERFUL stay at the house. Lots of space and SUCH beautiful views!!!
We enjoyed our short stay here. The area is very remote and quiet. The home is comfortable and stocked with everything you would need. If we go back to Big Bend National Park, we will surely stay there again.
First time to Big Bend, overwhelming exceeded expectations. Authentic decor, well equipped, plenty of room for our family of four, outstanding/private location with a breathtaking view of the mountains and stars. Would definitely stay here again!
Great alternative to staying at the Lajitas resort
Clean and as advertised. Everything you need is well stocked (paper towels, toilet paper, etc, etc). Great view and perfect for our family of 4 visiting Lajitas, Terlingua and Big Bend.

Nice quiet getaway, near two wonderful parks!
This property worked out great for our party of 4.
We spent the days exploring Big Bend, and enjoyed the sunset from the porch.
Everything was in order, and communication with the property manager was great.
Our family of 5 had a great stay at Lajitas House. The property was exactly as listed and contained everything we needed for a great trip to Big Bend.
The views from the kitchen table each morning and the fire pit for stargazing each night were some of our favorite parts about the house.
Communication was great and we had no problems during our stay.
The location was wonderful for our short visit to big bend region. The lajitas house had an amazing view of the big bend ranch state park off the porch. The house felt like you were borrowing a friend’s house. Everything you would need.
This property was perfect in every way. It was clean, comfortable, with nice decor and close to Big Bend Nat'l Park. Did I mention the spectacular view from the front porch? We thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful home.
We had a wonderful stay in this place. House was clean, beds and pillows were comfortable, and we had everything we needed. Besides, there is an amazing view from the porch. I would definitely recommend it.
We stayed here and were just amazed with the views. The evening sunsets were magnificent. Everything in the house was extremely clean. I was very impressed.
Interesting, Comfortable Home with Beautiful View & Great Location
We loved the artistic touches throughout this home. It has all the amenities you need for a comfortable stay. The view was beautiful. This was a great spot to explore Teralingua and the Big Bend Ranch State Park, and was still just a short drive to Big Bend National Park.
We loved our stay at Lajitas House. The property was clean, spacious, and charming. The location was great, and the home was well provisioned. The artwork displayed throughout the house made our stay special. We recommend Lajitas House to anyone traveling to the Big Bend area and hope to be back ourselves!
This place was perfect! We had the best view, a great patio overlooking Mexico, walking distance to Lajitas Resort (Food, Golf, Bar) but far enough away you feel like you have the whole canyon to yourself. We were 5 girls and it was great size and an easy drive to Terlingua/Big Bend. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you!
This house is a favorite of our family. The location for access to activities ranging from Park hiking to canoeing , stargazing and photography, Visiting the ghost town of Terlingua or the chili cook offs … it truly is just a magnificent place to stay. Clean and great parking. And amazing hosts. They are very good at helping you with any requests you might have. If you are going to Big Bend stay here.

Great place and very attentive owners.
Six of us spent 4 nights at Lajitas House. It was clean, comfortable and the views were awe inspiring. Bill and Judy were very attentive to our needs. We couldn't have asked for better hosts. Hope to come back in the future.
