I absolutely loved this place! Perfectly appointed room with lovely outdoor seating and bonfire. Gorgeous views of the mountains and sunsets. The stone buildings situated on the hill, as well as the coffee and breakfast/lunch house a few steps away gave me the serenity and community connection in perfect proportions. I will absolutely be back!!

Perfect Stay

The cabin/room was beautiful! We stayed in the Santa Elena and the size and restroom was perfect for us. All very nice, rustic ranch decor! We enjoyed the porch and outdoor areas for sunrise and sunset! Host was very helpful and always accessible. Can't wait to stay here again.

Brief stay

Glad we arrived early enough to relax on the beautiful patio. My husband has a prosthetic leg and I was not aware of the outside steps. But other than that, it was a wonderful stay.

Relaxing & Comfy in Ghost Town

Very cute property in the heart of ghost town. Hot water worked great, and the a/c/heater kept us very comfortable overnight even though it was super windy and cold outside. The communical kitchen worked well for us to cook a steak and enjoy on the patio. Beautiful scenary!

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 property had everything we needed and was a great place to come back to after a day of hiking at Big Bend. The little coffee shop just below was a plus. Gorgeous views and night skies.
