Location: Terlingua, Big Bend Country, Texas, USA (30 Mins. to Big Bend N. P. Gate)

Accommodations:  House, 1 Bedroom + Den, 1 Bath (Sleeps 4)

Great for families, couples, on your own, anybody!

This beautiful renovation of a traditional adobe includes 1 bedroom (plus den with comfy futon queen foldout), 1 bath adobe home on 20 acres offers all the peace of a getaway with the conveniences of home. Furnished in a western style with modernist flair, it's the perfect jumping off point for your Big Bend National Park visit (30 min. to the west gate) -- except you can have a super time without leaving the area!

Just sit on our wraparound porch, enjoy the mountain view. You can also have a wonderful hike of whatever length you want just by hiking up the road into the mountains past East Corazones peak. There is also a stunning hike of whatever length you want (it's up and back) into the Christmas Mountains. Just get your permit and information at the Terlingua Ranch Lodge Office a few miles away.

A perfect retreat from everyday life--no TV!--yet all the comforts of home. Plenty of light but the adobe keeps it cool. Wildflowers, desert flora and fauna, peace and quiet. Wonderful summer storms during July and August. Clear starry skies all year. Seasonal pond attracts wildlife during rainy season (which is short). You will often see mule deer from the porch and sometimes hear coyotes howl at night.

In addition to the two beds, we can provide an air mattress double where children are involved. We limit to four people but where it's two adults and children we can usually accommodate a larger group.

Another idea for a large group: Combine our Getaway with our friends' VRBO listing. We are a short distance apart via the paved main Terlingua Ranch road (we are at milepost 10; they are at milepost 7). A really great idea. Email us for info.

Enjoy your stay!

    • We stayed at this rental for a week in May of 2009. This house is very nicely kept and had everything we needed during our stay, plus more! The views are spectacular. We witnessed much of the local wildlife from the porch. It is also very close to the Big Bend parks as well as Terlingua. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend this rental to our friends.

    • We stayed for 4 nites and we had a wonderful time. It is everything that the owners says it is. A very relaxing and enjoyable house to stay in, just like home but with a beautiful view. We would highly recommend this property after seeing the other choice we didn't pick, this is a must stay if you are visiting Big Bend Nat'l Park. After a day of hiking this place is what you want to come home to. Relaxation.

    • Very happy with our choice to stay at this house. Very remote and quiet, to just sit and watch the mountain off the porch was the perfect getaway. Better than any other rentals, including those in Big Bend that we saw. Stayed for four nights while we hiked and toured the area. Fully outfitted kitchen and nice house. Loved it!

    • Perfect combination of solitude, beauty, comfort and wildness. We spent a week here hiking the desert, rafting the Rio Grande and exploring back roads. This home is beautiful, comfortable and wifi connected in a wild and rugged setting. Cactus wrens, baby javelinas, and mule deer were our closest neighbors. A perfect vacation for our family of 4.

    • What a wonderful home. My wife and I rented this property for a two night stay with our three children, ages 9 to 13. Beautiful house and experience all round. Great views and location near to Big Bend. We would recommend this house to everyone.
