About the host
Hosted by Jim Keaveny
Jim is from North Dakota but has lived in the Terlingua area for over 14 years. He is a professional musician, known in the Terlingua area, and loves sharing his self built home with travelers. The property is over 20 acres and he lives in a camper several hundred feet away from the house. There is also one campsite on the property, located even further from the house.
Why they chose this property
This is a beautiful area that is quiet and remote, with incredible skies, and beautiful sunrises and sunsets, only 20 minutes from the ghosttown Terlingua and 20 minutes from the Big Bend National Park.
What makes this property unique
Jim built his unique cabin by hand and it is completely off the grid. He offers it for a fair price. Guests can enjoy quiet nights with incredible skies and sunrises/sunsets. It is near the ghosttown of Terlingua, about 20 minutes away and near the Big Bend National Park, about 20 minutes away as well. Jim lives on the property several hundred feet from the house, and there is also one campsite even further away.
