This is the BEST place to stay in Terlingua! The property is spotless and super charming and it's close to everything! We walked to the Starlight Theater, also the Boathouse as well as a fabulous new food truck serving Eastern European cuisine. Coleman was an excellent host who accommodated our requests. I'm thrilled to recommend this property. Thank you!

My wife and I are in our 70's. The two chairs, small table, and bed are very low to the floor. We had a hard time getting out of them. No arm rest on either of the chairs. A couple of standard chairs and table would have been nice. Both showers were pretty unique, but the inside shower floor was pretty slippery and no grab bars for elderly people like us.Other than what I mentioned above it is a wonderful place.

Great location to experience Big Bend National Park. We saw the Milky Way from the fire pit chairs, danced under the stars and enjoyed the sunsets. Love that shower and bed was comfy.

My husband and I used this as a home base for our Big Bend trip. The location to the park was great. In the evenings, we could walk to the activities in Terlingua. It was very peaceful and oh those starry skies!!!

Very clean and we enjoyed the starry skies and fire pit. The whole area is very primitive but this was close to the local restaurants and there is a small grocery store a few miles away. Close to the Big Bend park entrance which was the reason for our trip.

Would 10/10 stay here again! It was both aesthetically pleasing and comfortable, from the bed to the chairs to the sweet showers! I can’t wait to stay in the warmer months to try out the outdoor shower! We felt both connected to the area and a sense of privacy. It was the perfect spot!!

Hiking & Stargazing

My husband and I enjoyed our stay here while we were exploring Big Bend for a few days. It was an easy drive to one of park entrances. We were glad for the close proximity of multiple restaurants, as well. The house was cozy, clean, and so unique. The host provided us with all the details we needed for a pleasant stay. We would definitely recommend. Viva Terlingua!

A Wonderful Escape

Around 12 min to one of Big Bend's entrances by Old Maverick, 45 min to Lost Mines. Understated luxury (toiletries, linens) + stylish accommodation (indoor rain shower AND outdoor shower for evening cleansing while stargazing). Very comfortable and walking distance to restaurants, no need to cook! A more refined approach to enjoying Big Bend.

Great cottage

Clean, walking distance to several restaurants, and very close to Big Bend National Park. The keurig was a nice touch. The only suggestion I have is to to bring another towel if you plan on hiking a lot. There’s only one bath towel per person, so when showering twice a day for a few days you might want a second towel. The bed was extremely comfortable. We also enjoyed the fire pit and board games.

Cozy spot close to the park

We were really impressed with this place. It is very cute and cozy. It is right in the Ghost Town within walking distance to several places. It was only 20 mins to the park entrance and around 30 minutes to the Chisos basin. Coming back after hikes and hitting the rain shower was one of the best features. And you can grab some dinner right around the corner followed by some of the best stargazing in the country right outside the casita. We would 100% stay here again next time (assuming it isn’t already booked) because it is one of the best places to stay when visiting the park and surrounding areas. Thanks for a great visit.

great location in Terlingua near BBNP

The Casita is very well located and nicely laid out. Very clean and exactly as pictured. The bed was comfortable and the outside shower was divine. Nice furnishings and good coffee selection all there for your use. The only drawback I can mention is that none of the windows opened and at night it is nice to have a little fresh air coming in. The AC unit seemed to be straining quite a bit and it never got as cool in the room as I would have liked. Also, I am not personally a fan of sheets that are not 100% cotton and while these were perfectly clean, I think they were that bamboo material that caused both of us to be pretty hot at night. Other pluses: nice firepit. Lots of fluffy towels. Bath products in both the inside and outside showers, good pillows.

Perfect for my husband and I. Walking distance to Starlight Lounge. Nice outdoor seating for morning coffee and afternoon cocktail. I loved the outdoor shower because it was beautiful weather and a groovy little space. My husband declined to use it. To each his own! AC worked great and we really had no problems with anything. Would definitely stay again

A Must Stay!

A friend and I stayed here for one night while we explored Big Bend/Terlingua. This was the perfect place -- it was exactly per the photos. Not super secluded like other places we stayed but it was still very quiet and was only a 3 min drive to the Starlight theater and breakfast, and an easy location to head to the park. It was nice and clean and the manager was very friendly communicating beforehand. Also THE best shower. We would definitely stay here again!
