This is place is for more hardy individuals. Yes, you are in the middle of the desert. There are signs that ask you to limit your shower to 5 minutes. Yes, the bathrooms are shared and you do have to go outside if you want to use the bathroom for any reason. Yes, the cabins are very small and there is no place to put your luggage. (I kept my luggage in the car and would only brings the clothes that I needed in the cabin). It is a bonus that your car is right next to your door. Yes, the microwave is outside and shared. Yes, the bed is on the smaller side and feels and sounds like its covered with a thick plastic coverings. If you can't get over that, then don't book here. I enjoyed my time here depsite all of that because I was there to shower and sleep. My favorite memory is lying on the hammock and night and viewing all the STARS! I did have trouble with the comminication with who runs this place. I called the day before my check in and gave them my credit card info for incidentals and was reassured that the code to my place would be released by check in time (4pm) the following day. 4pm came and went and I heard nothing. I had trouble calling them as my call went through but they could not hear me. I had to go down the street to get Wifi. I did get a text messge giving me my lockbox code. However, they did not tell me WHERE the lock box was. Another guest showed me that the lockbox was located on your porch in a not so obvious area.

Although cabin didn’t have a bathroom, the bathhouse was just next door and well-maintained. It’s quite a unique experience for us to stay in such an interesting cabin facing gorgeous mountain and sunset views. It’s almost like a scene from a Hollywood movie.

Everything was great. Location was excellent, perfect for sunsets. Only had 1 small disappointment, the was only flavored coffee available. Just plain coffee would have been great. Restrooms, and shower was wonderful. I would highly recommend this property.

I didn't realize that the cabin was an 8 foot by 16 foot box that barely fit a double bed, in which the mattress was covered in plastic. This made for a sweaty night for sleeping. It was not advertised that you had to walk outside to the bathroom. My wife has bad knees & hips. She was unhappy with walking outside in the dark to use the toilet or shower!

It was a great property for what I did--sleep. I thought it was a little pricey for as small as it is but supply and demand. No problems. They did email me the next day asking for credit card info as if I were staying that night and had not just stayed. I asked if I had left something there and did not hear back.

Honest Assessment
The trash had not been taken out of the cabin. The bathroom was 30 yards from the cabin. One of the towels left for us smelled sour and moldy. The mattress is an air mattress covered in plastic on a cot frame. The room is an 8 by 12 room with a coffee maker and fridge. The photos online did not match accommodations. When the neighbors open or shut the door to their cabin prepare for your whole cabin shed to shake. It is conveniently close to the park entrance. There are hammocks and a fire pit. The stars are gorgeous at night(if the other cabins turn off their porch lights)

The property is a rip off. For the price of an upper mid-tier hotel (~$195/night with Property Fee) you get one small cabin, a double bed, coffee maker, fridge and Wi-Fi. No attached bathroom, TV, microwave, desks, chairs, closets, etc. You have to walk outdoors to reach a communal bathroom. All this would be acceptable if it was priced accordingly, but for this price, we expected some of these even in Terlingua. Our fault for not looking more closely before booking though - the property did not mis-represent anything.

It was a tiny room, but it had all we needed and all the guests were friendly and warm. It had 2 outdoor grills, a slow cooker, and microwave available. Each room has 2 Adirondack chairs for private sunset viewing or star gazing and a 2 person little table and chairs under cover for eating. There’s s community place for 4 to sit and eat outside under cover and chairs around a fire pit. There was a Keurig in the room. Showers and bathrooms were so clean and convenient. They are shared. But we never waited for either a toilet or shower. WiFi was a nice surprise. No tv, but who needs it? There’s too much to do outdoors. Loved the covered parking. Very important in such a sunny and hot locale. I will say that a big person would not be comfortable sharing a room. Ice house available a block away. It’s only 15 minutes or so to the ghost town or Big Bend park. Would definitely stay here again and wouldn’t take half the stuff I did.

First the positive. The little houses that are the rooms, the grounds and the bathroom/shower facilities were clean and showed pride of ownership. The negative: The rooms are so compact we could not open our suitcase except on the bed. The bathroom, shower and toilet area is in a different building so if you have to get up in the night you are treading over gravel in the dark. Once you get to the shower/toilet you cannot brush your teeth with the non-potable water, you cannot flush toilet paper (hard to remember) and unless you remembered to drag your towel along with you you are left to drip-dry. There is no towel dispenser in the shower/toilet area. The microwave is outside under an awning. We had bought two nights but stayed only one because of the bathroom situation.

Be careful if you rent this property. Expedia will tell you that you will get a code the day before the stay. I didn't get that, and in the desert you can be in areas with no data/phone. I had to go to a motel.

No Bathroom - then I was told to get a room I had to present my credit card for a deposit on damages , how can this lady have any idea about property condition if she’s not there. Stay away is my advice, I’m a 63 yr old man and no bathroom is an option I didn’t consider but they don’t have bathrooms , I asked for refund and left, no way I am staying in a 8x6 tin box.

Pre-trip communication was inadequate
Once we got into the cabin everything was just fine, but getting in was a tad challenging. We had been told we would get the code several days in advance, We did not. We started calling on the day of arrival and we were told it would be ready later in the afternoon, Since we were traveling in areas with little cell coverage, this was an issue. Then we did not get it until we arrived on the property - this resulted in a bit of anxiety and set us on the wrong foot. Once we were checked in, all was great. Cabins are small, but comfortable. It was very hot outside, but the AC worked well.

Got a room (i.e., cubical) that was just enough space for a queen size bed. Two big guys. Bad night sleep. Plenty of grills, fire pits, chairs. Beautiful sunset. 40 minutes to Big Bend. I'll stay there again but it is a bit expensive for what you get.

For the price, I expected to have a bath and toilet inside my room. It was down on the end of the parking lot. I barely had room on either side of the bed to walk. Infact, I had to slide sideways along the side the bed. About 6 feet from the edge of the bed to the door.

In all fairness, we did not stay at this property. We did book and pay for a room (non-refundable), but when we arrived we found that the rooms are sleeping only and do not include bathrooms or running water. For that, guests must walk through gravel to a separate "bathhouse". They do provide a little flashlight for night time treks. This just would not work for us due to health conditions. This situation was not clear to me when reading the online "advertisement". Expensive lesson learned--look for the "fine print"

Response from Management on 2 Sept 2021
Thank you for the feedback! Happy to have you stay again with us in Big Bend. Yes, the pool takes a bit of a drive as it is located on the backside of a mountain between us which requires driving around the mountain. We are blessed to have access to this pool for our guests as there are only 3 pool in the entire area. It is a beautiful mountain side pool that is always cold - we hope you enjoyed the pool - we always think it is worth the drive! And yes, the Terlingua Ranch Road is a bit of a slow, winding road. Looking forward to having you back! Best regards.

Amazing!
Loved this property! Perfect for us to hike Big Bend and come back to a comfy bed and a hot shower. Check in was a little interesting. I thought I paid on VRBO got there and realized that I needed to send them my CC info to get check in information. The place is well worth that hiccup. Bring water for drinking! The bath house is super clean and the owners are on site and very attentive!

Great access to Big Bend, restaurants, and local culture. This place is tops on location. They do a great job of creating a warm and friendly atmosphere. The bathrooms were nice and easy to access. This is probably the best place to stay in the immediate area.
