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!
