La Paloma Triste: Classic Adobe Near Big Bend NP

Summary:
La Paloma Triste: Classic adobe vacation home. Minutes from Terlingua and Big Bend National Park.

The Space:
Step back in time at this vintage Terlingua adobe. La Paloma Triste is an ideal escape from the madness of modern life. This is the quintessential Terlingua vacation home.

La Paloma Triste (The Sad Dove) is a classic adobe home near Willow Spring and just minutes from Terlingua with excellent views of the Chisos Mountains and Willow Mountain. Built in the 80’s, with antique doors, windows, fixtures, and furnishings reclaimed from much older homes in Mexico and the Southwest, this cozy home blends modern conveniences with genuine rustic charm. Whether relaxing by the wood burning stove or enjoying the views from the porch swing, you’ll feel as if you stepped back in time to the pioneer days of the Wild West.

There is plenty of room to relax with two bedrooms, a full kitchen, a large living room, one and a half bathrooms, a spacious porch and covered parking, not to mention forty private acres of pristine desert habitat. The main bedroom features a queen sized four poster bed, antique armoire, antique dresser and a private bath with a shower. The second bedroom has two walls full of windows with breathtaking views of the Chisos Mountains and nearby Bee Mountain. The living room has an antique wood burning stove (wood provided), rustic built-in shelves filled with artifacts and other items of local interests, and comfortable seating. The fully stocked kitchen has a new gas stove, antique sink, rustic shelving, and a classic pine and cedar table that was built by the owners. The large back porch has a porch swing for two with amazing views of the Chisos Mountains and Bee Mountain. The carport protects your vehicle from the west Texas sun and our infrequent storms.

Of course, the main attractions are outside. Take time to enjoy the solitude of the Chihuahuan desert and Willow Spring. The area around the house is landscaped with native plants, interesting rocks, and rusty pioneer artifacts that were collected over many years by the original owner. You will also want to visit Big Bend National Park, the Rio Grande River, Big Bend Ranch State Park, Terlingua Ghost Town, and our various restaurants and shops. If you don’t have time on this trip, you’re welcome to return again and again.

The views of the night sky are beyond simple description. The Big Bend region has the darkest nights (lowest light pollution) of anywhere in the continental US.

As the song says, “the stars at night are big and bright deep in the heart of Texas”. They’re even bigger and brighter here in the Bend. When the moon is out, you’ll be amazed at how bright and clear it shines. When the moon is not out, you’ll be stunned by the countless stars and the light and dark bands of the Milky Way. In the hour or two after sunset and before sunrise, you can often see the International Space Station and other satellites racing across the night sky. Shooting stars are visible throughout the year, especially during the Perseid and Geminid meteor showers.

Check out “VisitBigBend.com” for suggestions of things to do and see during your stay. Explore the parks, raft the river, go horseback riding, take scenic drives, go mountain biking, visit the ghost town, eat out, enjoy the local nightlife including live music at several small venues, watch the wildlife, or just relax on the porch with your favorite book. Return home exhausted and inspired from endless adventures or well-rested and refreshed from escaping the rush of modern life. The choices are all yours. Regardless of your plans, La Paloma Triste (The Sad Dove) is an ideal home away from home for your visit the Big Bend.

We felt liike we were living the natural wonderland of West Texas, but inside, in a very comfortable, well-air-conditioned house. Once you went outside onto the shady back porch you were in the Chihuahuan Desert conveniently observing part of the Guadalupe Mountains. The west entrance to Big Bend National Park was a short drive away. We would definitely consider staying here again.

Wonderful Place to Spend a Few Days

My wife and I really enjoyed our quiet time out in the country. The cabin was well appointed and the beds were very comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. And the stargazing was amazing.

Quick access to National Park and state park

We had everything we needed for our week's stay. the advice to gas up in Alpine and buy food in the real grocery stores there was very helpful. The home is small but adequate. We spent very little time there since we were out sightseeing by 8:30 am every day. The Wi-Fi was good, laptop and phones worked well. I got sick, recovered in 24 hrs., & Daryl did arrange for messy laundry to be picked up early rather than let it set. A good time was had.

This was a perfect place for a visit to Terlingua and Big Bend. In a beautiful location just ten minutes from the businesses in Terlinqua and not far from the national park. Comfortable beds, bathrooms in both bedrooms, a nice big kitchen, and a great wood stove with plenty of wood. I loved looking out at night at the ski from the seats outside. It really was all I hoped for.

We enjoyed our 3-day stay at La Paloma Triste. The peaceful beauty of the property is a big draw. Stargazing each night and watching the sunrise in the morning made for wonderful experiences. The managers answered all communications very promptly. We would definitely stay here again.

Great stay in Terlingua!

The house is beautiful and perfectly captures the west Texas feel. It was very convenient for visiting both the state and national parks and terligua, but off the beaten path enough for some solitude. Kitchen had everything we needed and was very clean. No tv, but that was a plus- more time for star gazing. Only critique was shower pressure was very low, but it wasn't a big issue for us as we were out hiking every day. Would definitely recommend! It exceeded our expectations.

Rustic privacy

The owners are delightful, and the house is on open desert near Big Bend, offering quietude and beautiful views. The house is old and quaint, and as such could use some TLC touches to make it a bit more comfortable.

Great location for Big Bend visit

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at La Paloma Triste. The location was excellent- close to town/park, but secluded and private. Coming back after a long day in the park, we relaxed on the porch and star-gazed at night. I highly recommend this house and hope to return again one day.

Loved Sad Dove. Location and porch were awesome. Location to Big Bend is a huge plus. Would definitely stay here again and highly recommend. Could use a few improvements. Refrigerator needs to be replaced or defrosted, no toaster, update shower. Ceiiling fan in one bedroom did not work.

Wonderful location

We had a wonderful stay at this property to explore the parks, Terlingua, Marfa and Fort Davis. The house and property are beautiful. It's about a mile off the highway and very close to Terlingua and Big Bend National Park. The home is wonderfully secluded and quiet. All the amenities you need are present. The owner does request that no toilet paper be flushed in the toilets. There is a small trash can for you to use. The house is a mile down a dirt road. If there is no rain, you will be fine in a car. If it rains you will be grateful for 4 wheel drive.

Wonderful Experience

If you want an authentic West Texas adobe ranch house experience-this is the place. Enjoyed the front porch for morning coffee/bird watching & night star shows. The orientation of house faces south so a regular breeze felt on porch. Had a thunderstorm lightning show that was breathtaking. We went early June & vacation gods were kind w/cool nights & highs in low/mid 90’s. Has all the kitchen items you’d need. 2 Queen beds one soft, one firm - pick what u like. Hard pine floors/antiques dot the house & landscape - great conversation starters. Bring a lantern/flashlight if you’ve never experienced country dark. Suggest bringing water, great camera, and childhood dreams of riding the range and exploring.

Beautiful home with a view

The home is just as described on the website. Beds are very comfortable and the back porch is nice. It is close to a couple of properties but still very private. Kitchen is well stocked with cooking utensils. Home is very roomy, lots of space to spread out. We had a maintenance issue, I reached out to Janet at 6:45am by email and she responded almost immediately! June/July warning: this is no fault of the property owners but I would heed a warning of a June/July stay due to the extreme heat. Although the home stays comfortable with the 3 window units the kitchen stays in the low 80’s and the water temperature stays almost too hot to shower with. Again this is no fault of the home/owners its just part of the environment. I WOULD absolutely stay here again any of the other 10 months of the year!

Out of This World - Really!

After many decades on this earth, I can say, absolutely, that this 5 day trip to the Big Bend area - staying at The Sad Dove property - was one of the TOP 3 trips of my life. Seriously. The name of the game when visiting this area of the country is location, location, location. I cannot imagine a better location than this. The natural surroundings are awesome and bountiful, in every direction. In the early morning while the sun is still in the east, if you line up the grill and the yucca and then look off into the distant mountains, you will see the "opening" of the Santa Elana Canyon, on the Rio Grande. Then hop in the car and drive to see its magnificent grandeur up close. It just takes your breath away. The location is also great for buzzing into Terlingua for a great evening meal at The Starlight Theater Bar and Grill. Food is fantastic, people are friendly, and some nights they have live music. One of the nights we were there, they had a local group with acoustic instruments and really nice singing in harmony. A main entrance to BB National Park is very close - about 20 miles or so from the house. Of course the park is magnificent. If you have time for only one thing in the park, go on the designated Scenic Drive. No words to describe, just do it. You won't be sorry. We found the house to be very comfortable and authentic, as an old adobe structure. Fits right in to the history and customs of the location. We used the kitchen more often than we ate out, and it was absolutely fine for all our needs. Appreciated the ice cube trays in the freezer and used them daily. The beds were comfortable, and it was great having 1 1/2 bathrooms. The interior temp was easy to regulate between the air conditioners and ceiling fans. Although one bedroom ceiling fan did not work, the room was entirely comfortable with the ac in use. As is, this is the most perfect rental situation I have ever experienced. If I could make one change, I would put different chairs on the porch. The black ones are not very comfortable and the ones in the closet were both broken. BUT even this did not cause any serious problems, We figured out a temporary solution, and had a wonderful, spectacular time, and would return to The Sad Dove for any future trip to the area. Thanks to all who make this place possible and available. MMH
