Exceeded expectations!

The accommodations were perfect! Loved the outdoor areas - great view! Didn't realize how interesting Terlingua was - definitely want to go back and stay longer. Perfect access to either the Big Bend State Park or the National Park. Thank you!!

Adequate housing

The online summary did not accurately reflect the method to get to room. No signs for rooms on gravel road.Close, walking distance to Starlight.

The location and proximity to Big Bend Park was perfect. There was a coffee shop serving breakfast just down from our room that was excellent. Terlingua is a very small town so as long as you don't expect a lot of amenities, it's a great place to stay for a few nights.

Great Bunkroom!

We had a quick one night stay here before heading to Big Bend and our only regret was that we couldn’t have stayed longer! We arrived late so we could not enjoy the area but the beds were comfortable and a perfect nights stay before a big day in the Park. Thank you for sharing your place!

My daughter and I stayed here for a hiking trip to Big Bend, and we were absolutely enchanted by Terlingua and our bunkhouse stay. The only regret is not getting there earlier in the day so we could enjoy it longer and spend time at the Starlight Theatre. Walk to the coffee shop for a morning breakfast burrito and enjoy the lovely patio. Then head over to the little art gallery (buy a book written and illustrated by the shop owner while there) and the gift shop by the Starlight Theatre. Don’t miss the Terlingua Cemetary as well! Big Bend is a long way from northeast Kansas, but I hope to return someday and get to stay at the bunkhouse and experience more of Terlingua!

Perfect location and awesome hangout!

LOVED our stay! I love the property with all the outdoor spaces that encourage you to be outside, looking at the beautiful surroundings. Plenty of creature comforts but nothing you dont need. It was great being able to walk down for coffee and breakfast in the morning and beers at the Starlight Theater later. Definitely coming back!

Quirky Terlingua

Mimi's bunk room at La Posada Milagro was perfectly located for our stay in Terlingua. The espresso y poco mor just down the hill was a hopping place for breakfast and lunch. We used the outdoor kitchen for its refrigerator only...we didn't want to cook. We would recommend this place for anyone who wanted to experience Terlingua and the Big Bend National Park. Our stay was a hoot!

Never Again

The property itself delivered. We were actually the very first to stay there when it was listed. This time there was no host for VRBO. There was a concierge named Sandy. I could not find my reservation so I called every name on the list. My bad I said guest room not bunk room. She flew off the handle and did not stop until my husband yelled at her. At this point I thought I was having a heart attack. She kept calling me by the wrong name and after he intervened she calmed down and miraculously found the reservation. Now we left most of our dinner at the restaurant to find out that the 3 days I reserved turned into 2. So $155 just disappeared. Vacation ruined. She never sent the confirmation email If you book make sure you have your confirmation before you get there. Both of our fault but she was extremely rude and unprofessional.

Very compact. Enjoyed elect fireplace. Good linens. Coffee maker needed replacement & a TV would’ve been nice to have. Nice for Terlingua. Would’ve been perfect for a young group.
