We had a great time in Big Bend and this was the perfect place to stay with the family as our home base! The home was clean and had everything we needed. It was the perfect place to start our day and to return to after our adventures in the park.

Chill in the Desert

We've now stayed four times at Javelina Hideout. The appeal, for us, is the quite, peaceful, comfort found at this location. We appreciate the well implemented effective off-grid system utilized here. The host were attentive, but never intrusive.

Javelina Hideout 10/2019

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Javelina Hideout. The instructions/communication given prior to arrival were very helpful before and during our stay. The home is laid out to give you fantastic views of the area and the location is very peaceful. The informational book the owners left was very helpful as well. We would definitely stay here in the future.

Wonderful Relaxing Getaway!

We absolutely loved our stay at the Javelina Hideout. The house was very clean and accommodating to our family of 5. The kids loved staying in the bunk house and the house was absolutely lovely with amazing views. There are multiple outdoor areas to take in the views, have a drink, grill, and relax. The trail behind the house was so fun to explore with the kids. We visited Big Bend two days and this was the perfect place to come home to and relax after a long day of hiking trails. We would definitely book here again.

Amazing

This place was great! It mostly had everything you needed. The sunsets were beautiful and the stars were amazing. It was nice to relax and chill. Terlingua is only 20-25 min drive away if you need supplies or just to check the town out. Big Bend about 45min to 1 hour drive away. The hosts were communicative with us and helped us with whatever we needed. We plan to come back again!

A desert gem

Our vacation to BBNP was wonderful and coming home to Javelina Hideout made it even better. We loved everything about our stay. Turns out 3 minute showers are sufficient and our coffee was delicious! We enjoyed the birds and all the comfortable areas to relax-as well as the decor in and out. The sunrises and sunsets were delightful! Everything there is well thought out for aesthetics and comfort. Our only regret is not being able to spend more time there! Janet and Daryl were very accommodating.

Best Big Bend VRBO Yet

Property even better than the pictures and descriptions! Hosts very communicative. Property in excellent condition, with the feel of a true second home (and not a rental unit). Ample space in and out. Bunk house was a big hit with the teenagers. Kitchenware was high quality. No issue with electricity from the solar battery array, even on the shortest day of the year. Terrific wildlife viewing, and oh, the stars at night!

Big Bend Base

Great spot offering unsurpassed peace and privacy and 360 degree views. Dusty in the desert but glamping at its best. Well-stocked simple house with everything one needs. Whimsical paths circumnavigate the property. We never turned on the TV as the Big Bend vibe followed us back to Javalina. Wonderful managers who provided amazing info and instructions and whom we never saw but were always available. Texting worked great. Magical place.

Family trip to Big Bend

This is an amazing place to stay. The setting is beautiful and the home has everything you need. You need to plan ahead and bring your groceries, etc. if you are cooking, as it is not particularly close to anywhere, which is the point of staying there. Terlingua has a pretty well stocked market though 20ish minutes away, on the way to BBNP. We easily could have stayed longer! We loved the sunsets, sitting on the porch, just hanging out, and enjoying the setting. No one even minded short showers or hand washing dishes. And our days in BBNP were outstanding as well.

Javelina Hideout was perfect! The location is relatively close to the highway leading to Big Bend, but far away enough where you can still enjoy the beauty that is West Texas . The home/property was clean, beautifuly decorated with local artists work, and allowed for the most peaceful sunrise viewings. The swings were also a big hit with everyone!

Fantastic place! Very clean!

Would 100 stay here again. The house had everything we needed. Well thought out down to that matches in the bathroom. Ha! Sadly we did not get to use the fire pits due to a wind/dust storm but hope to in the future! Bed was super comfortable, clean and plenty of extra blankets in the closet. We had to use one heater for a little bit which worked great! The AC worked well also. Views and stars were breathtaking. Bring a legit flashlight! Don’t try to count on your phone. No real problems with bugs and such. Our stay was October 23rd - 25th ‘22. It’s the season that can be hot but very cold in the same day. That’s Texas!

Javelina Happiness

We cannot recommend this wonderful property highly enough as it was the perfect blend of funky and luxury. We enjoyed the access to Big Bend, loved the solitude, and enjoyed viewing the Milky Way while stargazing. And after seeing the options available in Terlingua, this property stands out even more. We fell in love with Big Bend and did now want to leave this desert hideaway.

High marks for Javelina Hideout!!!

What an absolutely magical place! The pictures don't do it justice. It's just the right balance of comfort and intrigue. If you are looking for the perfect West Texas experience this is it! I stayed here with my brother to hike and canoe Big Bend. It's over an hour drive but that's to be expected. The place has everything you need but their respect for the environment means preserving water and keeping waste to a minimum. The separate WC was nice and no big deal at all. Having a full bath in the main house made it all work. The kitchen , living room and covered deck were beautiful, fun and funky. Artwork abounds both in and out including a very creative pathway on the property. This is tremendous place to stay in every way!

Perfect Girls Trip

This property fit perfectly into our plan for a girl's trip to Big Bend. We loved the quiet location for peaceful happy hours watching the sun set from the comfy porches, watching the stars around the firepit and swinging on the porch swing watching the sunrises. Our group of 4 women had plenty of room. Two of us stayed in the bunk house which was quite comfortable. The linens and bedding in the house are really nice. The owners have gone above and beyond with all the special touches at this property which feel very homey. We also loved the nature walk around the property.

We came here for the star gazing…

And it did not disappoint. Very easy to find, and not too far from Terlingua and BBNP. The only thing we didn’t like was the fact that we could only stay 2 nights. It looks like this place books up quick, so make sure to book far in advance. Owners are very eco friendly which you kind of have to be out there, and it’s very secluded and quiet. If you need to unplug and unwind, perfect place. They gave a separate bunkhouse if you want to bring friends.

Home Base for Bid Bend

We were very comfortable in late February with temperatures down to 30F at night and up to 70F during the day, but was very easy to keep indoors comfortable. The kids loved the garden 'trails' and exploring the property. Most meals we cooked in the kitchen which was adequately equipped. We didn't use the bunkhouse to sleep due to having small kids, but it was also convenient and comfortable. The dark sky was one of the main reasons we chose this location and we were fortunate to have clear skies. It is worth a trip back!

Awesome Homebase for BBNP ventures

Our family of 4 made Javelina Hideout our home base while visiting Big Bend National Park. It was a great decision! The home is about 30 minutes from the entrance to the park, but the drive in and out each day wasn’t tiresome. The property was perfect as a getaway, at night with the lights turned off the sky lite up with stars that are just not possible with the light pollution around the main TX cities. We had the feeling of “camping” in the wilderness, with the modern amenities to enjoy our time there. The house itself was amazing and the owners provided everything we could need and friendly notes with needed details on staying in the sustainable home. Our boys loved exploring the art gardens and watching the birds in the bird feeders/bath. There is so much more for us to explore then we could in the several days we were there so we’ll definitely be returning to BBNP/Terlingua and staying at Javelina Hideout.

Amazing stay

We loved sitting out on the porch watching the sunset with the birds and quail. Being off the grid in style was just what we needed. Very clean and roomy. Very nice place!
