With all the over-priced, but underwhelming accommodations that have popped up in the area contrasted with ones that are past their prime, Fossil Knob is perfect. Easy access to the park and ghost town but still peaceful with great views.

The property is well done and well maintained. Exactly like the photos and description. Property manager great. Beatiful views of the mountains in Big Bend from the patio.

Amazing Views!
Perfectly unique home base for a trip to Big Bend. My two kiddos and I visited in January and stayed for 3 nights. Wonderful vistas in the morning and night. The patio faces the sunrise, great view and peaceful way to start the day with coffee. Stars at night were amazing. Container is cozy, very comfortable, and totally workable.

Wonderful views and great privacy. The house is very comfortable. Directions were great. Last couple of miles were an adventure but well worth it.

Beautiful Location
The Chisos property at Fossil Knob Ridge is such a great place to stay when visiting the Terlingua/Big Bend area. The views are gorgeous and the stargazing is outstanding! While the trek up the last stretch of road is a little bumpy, it is very conveniently located and everything is just as described. There has also been a lot of thought and care put into the necessities and amenities available. We had an awesome stay!

Ants & Water Rationing
We ran into an ant problem the host told us it was not common problem but there were 3 cans of ant spray under the sink.Also had to ration water but turning water on and off in the shower would have made nice to know when we booked the property

Birthday Getaway
Our stay at Fossil Knob Ridge - Chisos was nothing short of incredible! The ultra-modern container home was spotless, thoughtfully designed, and packed with everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing getaway. The panoramic views of the desert and distant mountains were absolutely breathtaking—sunrises and sunsets here are a must-see!We especially loved the attention to detail throughout the space, from the cozy bedding and sleek furnishings to the fully equipped kitchen. The remote, peaceful setting gave us a true escape while still being just a short drive to Big Bend National Park and Terlingua.This place is a perfect blend of style, serenity, and convenience. We’ll absolutely be recommending it to friends and can’t wait to return. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

We stayed 3 nights and had an amazing time! The beautiful sunrises, morning hikes looking at fossils and plants on the acreage, evenings by the fire, grilling at sunset with Mountain View’s! We had everything we needed and it was great being so close to Terlingua Ghost town and a short scenic drive to Lajitas..great spot!!

Unique Terlingua Experience
The Chisos house at Fossil Knob Ridge was clean and comfortable. Loved staying in the container converted to a house with beautiful views of Terlingua and the Chisos mountains. We had everything we needed and greatly enjoyed the peace and tranquility of the property. Highly recommend and we will be back!

Property is exactly as described. Very comfortable stay with great views. The road up to the property is extremely rough. The property is worth the rough road.
Has everything you need! Enjoyed our stay very much.

A Great Experience
I cannot say enough good things about our stay - what a cool setup. This was our 2nd time to the Big Bend area - Fossil Knob Ridge made this visit a special visit. It was quite apparent that the owners invested a piece of themselves when completing their project - you can feel their heart and soul in the place. If you get the chance - stay here while visiting Big Bend.

Fantastic!!!
This review is long overdue BUT my stay is not easily forgotten. What a wonderful location. The container home was conveniently located 1.5 miles to the Terlingua Ghost town. The road lets out right next to the old theater. The home was set up to face the mountains and sunrise and sunset were easily viewed everyday. We went when the moon was full and the temps were very mild and comfortable in the evenings. Everything was provided that we could need. There is a full grocery store in Alpine and a small one in Terlingua. Go to this place if you want ease of access, beautiful views, and off the path seclusion that is “just right”. I will stay here again.

Our stay was great, everything as expected! The view is breathtaking! WiFi is impressive! Found the rental to be well equipped! Loved sitting out on the porch and using the fire pit at night! The road up to the unit was not that difficult...just follow the directions!
Happy to say we found the containers to be a comfy, cozy little niche in Terlingua!

Amazing Getaway
We absolutely loved this shipping container unit! It had everything we needed for our trip! Such a peaceful place to stay- The night skies were breathtaking - and the town of Terlingua was so much fun! We could easily have stayed another week!
Make sure to bring some extra drinking water so you don't use all of the water at the rental.
Please heed the information about the drive up - the last leg of the road is quite bumpy - it's doable in a smaller SUV like we had.. but a Truck or higher SUV would be preferable.

Private, modern, isolated.
Well kept storage trailer duo. Kitchen, bath, bedroom, living room. Nice patio with red night-vision lighting overlooking Big Bend Park. It's a short distance to the western park entrance. The road is rough getting there so drive slowly. It's not hard to find-just follow the directions carefully. We would definitely stay here again when back in BB/Terlingua.

Great Terlingua Stay
Wow is all that I can say about the view from this property. Perched on top of the hill facing the mountains. Perfectly located to visit Big Bend National Park and Big Bend Ranch State Park. Plenty of neat shops and restaurants within a mile of the house. A very neat "container" home. Well stocked with paper products and coffee supplies. There was a nice firepit for evenings watching the stars, and I do mean plenty of stars in the sky. If you are looking for a stay in the area, this is it.

So peaceful!
What a quiet & peaceful place to celebrate my husband's 60th birthday! Terlingua has been on our bucket list for quiet some time, and we finally got to experience what everyone has been raving about! Chisos was absolutely beautiful. The kitchen was fully stocked with the essentials, and had everything we needed to cook a fabulous meal. The directions to Fossil Ridge were very detailed and helped so much! As previous reviews mentioned, make sure you have an all terrain vehicle. The last mile or so is extremely rocky, and you will want to take your time navigating the rocky path during daylight if possible! We will definitely recommend Fossil Ridge to family & friends, and can't wait to visit again!

Property itself and location were amazing. A bit scary going up but very much worth the location. the container home was absolutely beautiful and peaceful. Only unsatisfactory item was the surprise $100.00+ charge for using VRBO above what was already paid for the rental of the property.

Perfect Getaway!
I had the best time at Fossil Knob Ridge! The instructions were great and close enough to hike everyday in Big Bend National Park. As a single female staying alone, I felt very safe in the remote atmosphere. The property manager was extremely helpful on more than one occasion. I did have to work one afternoon, and the WiFi held up great. I cooked most meals at the house, but the local breakfast spot and bar were great too. I can’t wait to be back and bring my son!

Great container mountain cabin
Off the grid, but close to Terlingua ghost town with some cool restaurants and bars. The road up is rocky and bumpy, much better in a higher clearance vehicle. Great location for sunrises, sunsets, stars, and Big Bend State Parks for hiking and mountain biking.
