Wonderful stay with Jim! Easy check-in, beautiful property, and prime access to Big Bend. A/C was out due to power issues on the property, but Jim did his best to ensure that we were comfortable throughout the stay, even offering an additional day free-of-charge. I decided on a book instead! Because we had to keep the windows/doors open for ventilation, it got pretty buggy inside, but it's kinda what you'd expect (1) being in nature and (2) leaving the windows/doors open for 48 hours. Kitchen is basic, but has most of the necessities (a stove, cutlery, plates, glasses). I still had a wonderful time!

We loved this off-grid little house so much! It was perfect for our family, and looked exactly like the pictures. It seemed to have a personal touch and built out of love. It also had everything we could possibly need for our stay. The only issue is that the ranch did not have free showers and the pool was 8 per day per person. It wasn’t a big deal, just different information than what was provided to us. We would definitely stay here again!

Host was very informative and easy to reach. We loved the outdoor seating - swing chair and hammock. It was perfect for some R&R, we wished we would have booked in for longer.

Nice, calm environment for your off-the-grid adventure. Close enough to Big Bend and Terlingua to enjoy the sites but far enough away from the crowd. We enjoyed the simplicity of it all, especially the big bright starry sky! Thanks, Jim!

The Casa de Creosote was such a cozy and charming place for a peaceful getaway. Jim was a gracious and generous host who made our stay welcoming and fun. I recommend this cabin if you need a place to reset and recharge while enjoying the beautiful desert scenery.

The cabin looked a little off on the outside but inside it was very homey and warm and welcoming. Very cute inside the cabin and the host was very social and friendly. He gave very clear directions and suggestions to make our stay comfortable and memorable. I would definitely recommend staying here! The night sky was just beautiful and the sunrise was amazing. I’d stay again.

The cabin was beautiful -the property is a work of art in itself. We had everything we needed and Jim made sure we were comfortable and warm when the weather got cold. The location was great for exploring the area -an easy drive to Terlingua and to the national and state parks. We definitely hope to come back!

The cabin had everything we were looking for: 2 beds, indoor plumbing and a shower to boot! It was nice to have a fridge and a camping stove to heat up food when needed. The area is very peaceful and great to admire the stars. Jim was very nice, even offering to pick up anything we needed when he headed into town. It’s a lovely place to escape from the city and 30 min drive from the west entrance to Big Bend.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Casa de Creosote in Terlingua Ranch. Jim was incredibly welcoming, communicative, and helpful, making sure we had everything we needed while also giving us plenty of space to relax and enjoy our time:)The house itself was fantastic—comfortable, well-kept, and perfectly situated. The views were truly breathtaking, overlooking the surrounding mountains and offering a peaceful setting, especially at sunrise and sunset.If you’re looking for a quiet getaway with stunning scenery and a thoughtful host, this is the perfect place. Off-grid but well, you have all the amenities you normally need, still being in the middle of a desert so just be mindful, that's it!:) Relax and enjoy!
