I absolutely loved this place! Perfectly appointed room with lovely outdoor seating and bonfire. Gorgeous views of the mountains and sunsets. The stone buildings situated on the hill, as well as the coffee and breakfast/lunch house a few steps away gave me the serenity and community connection in perfect proportions. I will absolutely be back!!

Great Stay

Beautiful location right outside the West entrance to the National Park. Coffee shop in Terlingua is just near the guesthouse. Sunrise over the mountains is spectacular, and the dark skies at night mean awesome starscapes.

The property had everything we needed and was a great place to come back to after a day of hiking at Big Bend. The little coffee shop just below was a plus. Gorgeous views and night skies.

Not a lot of options near Big Bend, but loved our stay hear. So much character and room 1 has a private bath. Finding air conditioning and plumbing is hard, but really impressed with this. Love the atmosphere of Terlingua and the convenience to get to Big Bend NP. Really enjoyed our stay.
