Beautiful location right outside the West entrance to the National Park. Coffee shop in Terlingua is just near the guesthouse. Sunrise over the mountains is spectacular, and the dark skies at night mean awesome starscapes.

Nice digs in Terlingua
The room and bath were clean, unique, quiet. Good quality linens and pleasant outdoor space. Stargazing at night and proximity to national and state parks were of first concern. Terlingua itself is an experience all its own, but people are friendly. Good dinner at the Starlight Theater, fun treats at Milly Way, and great breakfast and coffee at the Espresso y Mas! Suggest to owner that a plastic bathmat be available as the shower floor when wet and soapy was extremely slick. Also, we own property in the hill country with septic system and a boat with pump heads. None have ever required us to prohibit flushing of toilet paper. Surprising in a property at this price point.

The perfect place !!
This place was even better than the pictures showed! It was literally the perfect place to stay there. It’s close to the entrance of the park, it’s close to the cutest and best coffee shop (which by the way, has the best breakfast, particularly the eggs Benedict) , and it’s also close to the starlight theater restaurant, which is open every day at 5 PM for dinner and the food was also awesome there too. The staff was very helpful and very quick to respond and very, very nice! We had the best time and if I ever come back out that way, I will definitely stay at the same place again. Definitely exceeded all of my expectations!

Not a lot of options near Big Bend, but loved our stay hear. So much character and room 1 has a private bath. Finding air conditioning and plumbing is hard, but really impressed with this. Love the atmosphere of Terlingua and the convenience to get to Big Bend NP. Really enjoyed our stay.

Housing options are limited and expensive in this area. The owner has taken an old property and made it special for a guest stay. The bed was comfortable but a bit noisy. On site coffee shop was a real plus. Not being able to flush toilet paper was a new experience for us. The AC worked well and the host was available 24/7 for any special needs
