About this property

Lajitas House - River and Mountain Views

Summary:
Lajitas House offers comfort and convenience with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Located in the historic Lajitas Resort, just 30 minutes from Big Bend National Park, 20 minutes from the Terlingua Ghost Town, one mile from Big Bend Ranch State Park, and a short walk to the Lajitas boardwalk. Relax in the shade of our front porch. Prepare your meals in our fully equipped kitchen. Visit with family or friends in our beautifully decorated living room. Retire for the night in our comfortable bedrooms.

The Space:
Lajitas House is in the historic Lajitas Resort area just 30 minutes from the beauty of the Big Bend National Park and 1 mile from the Big Bend Ranch State Park. Both parks have a variety of hikes and some truly spectacular scenery. Be sure to visit the local Barton Warnock Environmental Education Center on the east side of Lajitas for information and interesting exhibits.

Afterwards, relax in the shade of our front porch, enjoy the pristine view out across the shimmering Rio Grande River into the majestic mountains of Mexico or walk down the hill and sit by the river. Enjoy the peacefulness that underlies the Lajitas experience.

Lajitas House is within walking distance to the Lajitas boardwalk which offers shopping and a full service spa. Walk to the historic Lajitas Trading Post, which includes a deli, or to the Candellia, an excellent restaurant on the boardwalk where you can enjoy a meal in rustic elegance outdoors or in. The Thirsty Goat Bar offers a variety of libations in a comfortable and richly decorated environment.

PLEASE NOTE: Lajitas House is ideally located for easy access to resort facilities in Lajitas (except, there is no access to the resort pool). However, please note that at busy times, during private events, or at the whim of resort staff, Lajitas Resort may limit access to the golf course, bar, restaurants, or other resort amenities and only serve resort guests. We recommend that guests check with Lajitas Resort to verify access to any resort amenities they may plan to utilize, including world-class golfing at Black Jack's Crossing, the Agave Spa, and the Equestrian Center.

A twenty minutes drive east and you are in the historic Terlingua Ghost Town. The world famous Chili Cook-off Championship occurs annually early in November. In Terlingua you can enjoy dining at The Starlight Theatre Restaurant and Bar and shopping at the Trading Post.

A short drive west from Lajitas House on the spectacular River Road (Texas 170) takes you through the magnificent vistas of Big Bend Ranch State Park and past historic Fort Leaton to the official border crossing at Presidio. On the Mexican side is the city of Ojinaga, site of the historic Battle of Ojinaga between the rebel soldiers of Pancho Villa and Mexican Federales.

Recently the crossing into Boquillas, a small Mexican border town on the Rio Grande Mexico became a reality. If you choose to make this adventure part of your Big Bend experience, you must have a passport. Boquillos is on the east side of Big Bend National Park. Remember: You must have an unexpired passport.

The Neighborhood:
Lajitas House is ideally located for easy access to resort facilities in Lajitas (except the private pool). However please note that at particularly busy times, the resort may limit access to the golf course, dining options, or other resort amenities. We recommend that guests check with Lajitas Resort to verify access to any resort amenities they may plan to utilize, including world-class golfing at Black Jack's Crossing, the Agave Spa, and the Equestrian Center.

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.

Perfect place to explore Big Bend

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.

Beautiful view

The location was wonderful for our short visit to big bend region. The lajitas house had an amazing view of the big bend ranch state park off the porch. The house felt like you were borrowing a friend’s house. Everything you would need.

Great stay in Lajitas/Big Bend

Our family of 5 had a great stay at Lajitas House. The property was exactly as listed and contained everything we needed for a great trip to Big Bend. The views from the kitchen table each morning and the fire pit for stargazing each night were some of our favorite parts about the house. Communication was great and we had no problems during our stay.
