Thank you for your review! We hope you will stay with us again if you return to the Big Bend country.
We really enjoyed our stay at Lajitas House. There was a little issue when we first arrived. Daryl and Josh had it fixed within the hour and were so nice about it. We definitely got the impression that they're very serious about wanting their guests to enjoy their stay. The house had a beautiful view and was very quiet. We'd definitely stay there again.
We enjoyed our short stay here. The area is very remote and quiet. The home is comfortable and stocked with everything you would need. If we go back to Big Bend National Park, we will surely stay there again.

Enjoyed our stay. House overlooks the Rio Grand and is surrounded by scenic views.
The house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. My family enjoyed the quiet surroundings. It was close to both the state and national parks.

First time to Big Bend, overwhelming exceeded expectations. Authentic decor, well equipped, plenty of room for our family of four, outstanding/private location with a breathtaking view of the mountains and stars. Would definitely stay here again!
Great alternative to staying at the Lajitas resort
Clean and as advertised. Everything you need is well stocked (paper towels, toilet paper, etc, etc). Great view and perfect for our family of 4 visiting Lajitas, Terlingua and Big Bend.
Great location, beautiful views! Well provisioned and clean. Enjoyed the location!
