This was a terrific place to stay, and it had everything we needed to make our hiking trip to Big Bend memorable. The hosts were extremely responsive and kind, and the place was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed a great view of the sunset by the fire ring and the next morning a great view from bed of the sunrise over the Chisos mountains!

We had a fantastic stay during Christmas. The modern container home is comparatively upscale and quite comfortable. We enjoyed the window views although we sat outside to catch the beautiful night sky.

It is a lovely place that I will probably be taking my husband back to. But I took my daughter for her B-Day and the advertisement of a two bed was a small couch that pulled out oldly and we had to go and purchase a blow up. other than that we LOVED it!!!! Perfect for a couple

Property was great — everything was clean and well maintained. Had a fabulous view of the park off in the distance, and very dark skies at night (but best the third night once surrounding units didn’t have lights on). The only thing we really felt was missing was a place to hang up clothing — at minimum some coat hooks would have been helpful, and maybe a hook in the bathroom to hang up some PJs while showering. We had a great stay overall and would absolutely come back if we come back to Big Bend!

Birthday weekend in Terlingua/ Big Bend

We had a great stay and were in awe of the sunsets, sunrises and amazing night skies.We had everything we needed to cook and relax after a day of exploring. Highly recommend staying here but do heed the warning of having a high clearance vehicle.

We very much enjoyed our stay at Fossil Knob Ridge, the space was well represented by the photos, it was clean and had amazing vistas. We were able to enjoy the magnificent stargazing that was a primary goal of the trip. The bed and pillows were some of the most comfortable I've ever slept on at any type of rental property, hotels included! We were so comfortable we got a late start to Big Bend National Park, but the unit is close enough that we still were able to partake in what the park had to offer. We had everything we needed to cook and relax. The owners were very communicative and it's important to pay attention to their recommendations, the last part of the road to this nicely remote location is exactly as difficult as described; no sedan would make it unscathed. We can easily recommend this rental.

This was a beautiful stay for us, as we have had repeated trips to Big Bend National Park. This Terlingua property was just what we needed. Thank you to the hosts, and for the owner of the property who did a spectacular job of creating Fossil Knob Ridge!

Magical Experience

Truly was a magical experience to see all the stars illuminate the night in the pitch of the dark. Very unique structure, cozy and quaint. Had all the amenities necessary for our trip. Close enough to Big Bend which I loved. Many local shops and cafes to enjoy. Highly recommend for those seeking adventure!

More than we expected

We absolutely loved the Quicksilver house and Fossil Knob Ridge. The home had everything my husband and I needed. The location was amazing- close enough to town for going out for meals, but you still felt removed from everything. The home had everything we needed for cooking easy meals. Looking forward to coming back in the future.

Nice views

The stay was great. We were close to Big Bend where we spent most of our days. The property was very clean and well stocked with everything you needed. The only issues that we didn't like were the drive from the base of the hill to the property. The rough road gets very tiring. We also didn't really care for being told to limit our water usage.

Wonderful Stay

We loved everything ! The unit was well equipped and stocked. Beautiful design and privacy. The only non 5 star rating was for location. The road leading to the containers is terrible . We drive a Subaru Outback and took it slow. I will return but next time I will rent a jeep or pickup. I have already recommended Fossil Knob Thank you
