Just a 15-minute drive from Big Bend National Park, it’s the ideal adventure base for groups of friends, couples, or families who want to experience the desert in comfort and style.



The Space:

Colorful 3BR desert retreat in Terlingua with 360° mountain views, a massive outdoor patio, and star-filled skies. Perfect for groups or families exploring Big Bend who want to cook, gather, and soak up the beauty of the desert.



• Outdoor Oasis: A massive patio with a hot tub and a fire ring surrounded by six Adirondack chairs, a covered outdoor kitchen (deep basin sink, fridge, Weber BBQ pit), and a 12-person dining table. Perfect for yoga at sunrise, a campfire at night, and endless stargazing.

• Bedrooms & Baths: Two king bedrooms with blackout curtains and striking mountain views, plus a third bedroom with two twin beds. Two full bathrooms with large showerheads for your group’s comfort. The bathroom shared by the two king bedrooms has in-floor heating.

• Living Areas: Two indoor living rooms provide plenty of space to relax and socialize.

• Indoor Kitchen: Fully equipped and designed with a long buffet counter and picture windows to bring the outside in.

• Views: Christmas Mountains from the back patio, Yellow Mountain from the kitchen and drive, and desert vistas in every direction.



Two important considerations:

1) High clearance vehicles are recommended. The final mile of the drive to the house is on rocky roads with some small hills and some loose rock. A typical sedan can make the drive if the driver is cautious.

2) The rental consists of two separate buildings, connected by a large patio space. This may be of concern to some guests, especially families with small children. See the floorplan in the photos for reference.



SECURITY CAMERAS: There are two security cameras outside of the property. One views the parking area and one views the driveway.



LOCAL AREA:

Located on 20 private and seclude acres with unspoiled mountain views and dark skies.

12 miles (15 minutes) to the Maverick Junction entrance to Big Bend National Park or the historic Terlingua Ghost Town
