Sherri’s Terlingua Cabin on the Creek: Easy Access

Summary:
Sherri’s Terlingua Cabin on the Creek: Conveniently located "tiny house” with easy access.
• Tiny House on the Bank of Terlingua Creek
• Easy Access and Convenient Location
• Living Room Kitchen, Bedroom, Bath & Loft
• Located Between the Ghost Town and BBNP

The Space:
No Children Under 12 Years Old.
Sleeping Loft ceiling very is low.

Sherri’s Terlingua Cabin is a wonderful place to relax and an excellent home base for exploring the Big Bend area. You will have quick and easy access to Big Bend National Park, the Rio Grande River, Terlingua Ghost Town, and Big Bend Ranch State Park. The cabin in within easy walking distance (1/3 mile) to the famous La Kiva Bar and Grill.

Enjoy all the conveniences of home. There is a bedroom with a full-size bed, a sleeping loft with two twin beds, a bathroom, living room, and small kitchen. The sleeping loft has a very low ceiling and is best suited for children.

There is a small TV with a built-in DVD player. We do have a few DVDs. Feel free to bring your own but you’ll probably spend more time on the porch watching the stars and Terlingua Creek.

The kitchen has a refrigerator, oven, range, microwave, toaster, coffee maker. There are also plates, silverware, glasses for your use. Pots and pans are also provided.

The bathroom is small but has a shower, toilet and sink with hot running water.

The cabin is cooled and heated by two mini split air conditioning systems.

Sherri’s Terlingua Cabin is located on a bluff above a spring fed section of Terlingua Creek. Most of the time there is just a foot or two of water in this section of the creek. But when it rains it can become a raging torrent in the canyon below the cabin. Be careful near the edge of the cliff. The ground can shift dangerously and unexpectedly.

No pets or children under the age of 12 are allowed at the cabin.

Interaction with Guests:
We manage several properties and live few miles away. We are available by phone, text, email, or messages through Airbnb. We are typically only on site for cleaning or maintenance issues.

Great cabin, great location

Sherri’s cabin was as advertised and perfect for our trip to Big Bend. The cabin was well equipped for our stay and very clean. It is also perfectly located for access to the park and near some very tasty restaurants. We would definitely stay at this cabin on our next visit to the park.

4 day stay

Loved the property. The beds were very comfortable, the location was a bit out of town but a short 5 minute drive to Terlingua. We loved setting up our camp chairs outside each night and stargazed. We had a wonderful time, thank you.

Perfect Big Bend Base Camp

This was the perfect cabin for our small family. It was cozy with great views of the stars at night but not too far from restaurants and shops. Everything we needed was waiting for us inside. Our son loved the creek and the loft. Highly recommend.

Expensive Tiny House

I guess it was peak season for Big Bend, but 300 per night (roughly, including all of the various fees) seemed like a crazy amount for this little house, which was just off the main road and nestled next to an emergency response building and what looked like a bunch of factories or machine shops. Giant trucks went by regularly. The proximity to Terlingua and Big Bend were the best things about the place. The double bed was comfortable, it was air-conditioned, and it had all the basics. Otherwise, some of the furniture was worn, the spaces seemed cramped, and the showers were lukewarm and short because of the ongoing drought. The place is ok, but definitely nothing special. Especially for the price, personally, I’d look for a nicer place.

Amazing

This cabin was perfect for our trip. Check in was so easy and the property was accurate compared to the listing. The beds were super comfortable. The shower is a little short, fine for me but a little difficult for my husband. Super cute inside. We enjoyed sitting on the porch and looking at the stars. Convenient location to restaurants in town and BBNP. If we return, we plan to stay here again!

Convenient and comfortable

Very close to Big Bend National Park where we spent most of our time, but also convenient to the Ghost Town of Terlingua and other sites of interest. Had a great time in the park and nice to know we were not far from "home" at the end of a busy day exploring. Property managers were very responsive to the couple of questions we had. Also had the pleasure of meeting Sherri, the owner. Would stay again!

Overall, a good place to stay, but

We stayed a week in Sherri's cabin. Here are my observations. Pros: 1. Good location 2. Property managers were very responsive to a small issue we had with climate control and got it rectified immediately. 3. Plenty of supplies -- towels, dishes, spices and such for cooking if you're up to that 4. Easy access 5. Bedroom had plenty of room and storage 6. Interesting but functional closet for hanging clothes. Cons: 1. The shower is small but you can really consider this a "tiny house" and shouldn't expect much more. 2. The bed! I had read earlier reviews that the bed was bad, but the property managers had reported that the bed was to be replaced soon. I was hoping that the replacement would happen before we got there. I woke up with a back ache every morning until I started sleeping on the futon in the common area. The bed simply has no support. I contacted the property manager after our visit to talk about the bed and was informed that it was, in fact, a new bed. The owner of the property had recently put a new memory foam bed into the cottage. My only response was wow! One or both of two things has happened. The bed that was purchased was a cheap, inferior memory foam model and/or there was not a solid support between the mattress and the box springs. I regularly sleep on a memory foam bed at home. When it was installed, we were told to put 3/4" plywood between the mattress and the box springs because memory foam needs the support and box springs do not provide enough. Mine is great! Would I rent this again, probably not, simply because of the bed. Otherwise, yes.

Perfect!

3 adults with 2 separate sleeping areas was just what we needed and cheaper than 2 motel rooms elsewhere. Kitchen cooking facility and frig allowed us to cook own meals saving money. Great location for park and tours. Highly recommend. Only suggestion to keep loft sleep comfortable, keep ac on and ceiling fan reversed to draw cool air up. We would stay here again.

Great location, OK accommodation

The house is located on a somewhat secluded, small knob next to the Terlingua creek. We sat every evening on the porch to first watch the black vultures settle in a big tree in front of the porch, then bats, and then the stars. Unfortunately, during some nights a neighbor a few 100 yards away had a bright light turned on all night that made star watching difficult.The interior of the tiny house is quite old and could need some updates but we found the Queen bed comfortable. The dining table is quite wobbly. We did not test the upstairs beds.It rained two nights and when it did there was water seepage through the bedroom windows and dripping onto the bed. I informed the property manager/owner about this. It was not a showstopper, quite an interesting experience .All in all, we liked our stay but did not entirely agree with the quality of the interior of the house.

Sherri’s Terlingua Cabin and Big Bend

Myself and two others recently completed a 5 night stay at Sherri’s Terlingua Cabin and had a wonderful time. Not only was the property clean, comfortable, and stocked with all the key necessities, it was within reasonable proximity to all of the trails we had planned to hike in Big Bend National Park, and then some! We also appreciated the hosts' commitment to minimizing food waste, as they noted that they will donate unused/unopened foods, and will keep items such as condiments for future guests. Overall, if we ever return to the area this would 100% be our accommodations of choice. Thanks again to the hosts for a fantastic week!

Cabin was fine. Very clean. Kitchen had everything we needed. Host communication was great There are not many places to stay in Terlingua and even though this is not a new or fancy cabin we thought it was great for what we needed. Thanks for listing it.

Stay at Cabin

The cabin was just the right size for my daughter and me. It was much larger on the inside than it looked. It was a really convenient spot for the sites including Big Bend NP, Terlingua Ghost Town, and Big Bend Ranch State Park. We had to conserve on water because of desert conditions but directions were given on checkin and we had no problems. We had trouble understanding directions for the AC so didn’t use it. Thenights were pleasant with opening the windows to the desert air. By the end of our5 day stay daytime temps had gone from nineties to seventies. Kitchen was well equipped Sufficient for the two of us. We’re nature lovers do enjoyed the morning birds and the occasional owl hoot.

location was quite accessible to the major scenic features and hikes. The accommodations worked well for the three of us. Few restaurants offered non-Mexican food, and not all were open but the facility had everything needed for easy cooking, and a good grocery store was available nearby. Sitting on the porch after our busy days were the best.
