We had five adults at the house. As the listing says, the queen bedroom is smaller. We had just one adult stay there. The king room is a great size. Two full bathrooms were key for our group. Water pressure wasnât great but manageable. Kitchen well equipped to cook and lots of refrigerator space for food and drinks. It is about 30-1 hour from the park depending on which area but it is a beautiful drive. It is close to a couple of restaurants, decent but small grocery store. The whole area is remote but this house was in the right location for us. We loved sitting on the front porch looking out over the mountains. The road is rough but driveable with a passenger car (when not muddy). We would definitely rent here again.
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.
Very nice place for a family or friends. The porch is a great view of the sunrise and stars at night. The road to the house is pretty rough but other than that it is perfect!
Rustic but spacious and convenient to Big Bend. We had a few issues (one mini-split didn't work but is to be replaced) and the alarm on the tankless hot-water heater went off. The repair man, Abel, came within the hour each time. The dirt road is accessible by sedan in DRY weather but the four steep dips (two 8' deep and two 20' deep) were unnerving. We loved sitting on the front porch in the evening watching a roadrunner come up close and seeing the moon rise, as well as gazing up at the milky way when we got up at 6 AM to beat the heat. Suggestions to other guests are to take several gallons of water with you (much of the park has NO water) and the website hours/days for Milky Way Treats in Terlingua are not reliable.
We enjoyed our stay. The house is as pictured (the showers are industrial-style, but this was not a surprise). We ate at Spicewood Restaurant in Alpine when we stopped for groceries and really enjoyed it. Unfortunately and unrelated to our stay, our dog ran away and we had to end our trip early to drive home and look for him (we ended up finding him in a bayou!). The house has amazing wifi, which helped when I was posting all over to try to find him. It's also super convenient for entering Big Bend. We hope to return some day.
We had a wonderful stay. The home was well stocked and very clean. It was convenient for our hiking adventures in Big Bend National park. Would recommend this home to anyone who needs accommodations near Big Bend.
This property was fantastic for a small group of friends. Great location and user friendly. Plenty of room to accommodate friends and relatives. Will definitely try to stay here again
This was the perfect property for our Big Bend Vacation. The road to the property is a little surprising as it just follows the natural terrain which is a little up and down. Any car will make it but itâs a little interesting with a long trailer. The home is a little austere but very clean and perfect for the setting in the West Texas desert. A couple of things to know: Terlingua is a dark sky friendly community so it is very dark in the area in general, makes it interesting when trying to find places at night including the Desert Sky Hideaway; water is scarce in the desert so the showers in the home are designed to conserve water. We would definitely stay here again.
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!
Clean, Secure, Spacious, Quiet, with unexpected amenities. Fuel, small grocery store, laundry-mat and auto service short drive to Study Butte. Host available to provide local assistance guidance if needed. Too many places and events to explore and experience during a short visit to the Big Bend Region. Will be returning. Kudos.
Needed a place to stay during a days of work in Terlingua and it was great! Hosts were accommodating, easy to get a hold of and I felt comfortable and safe at this location! Definitely my new go-to place in Terlingua! Donât rely on just my word, read all the other 5-star reviews and book this lovely stay for your next trip!
Thank you!
