Good location and spacious

We stayed here over spring break and really enjoyed it. Very spacious 1 bedroom barndominium type accommodation. We had 2 adults and a 10 year old girl. We slept in the king size bed and she slept on the couch. You could put 2 kids on the couch easily. You've got everything you need running water and cold AC and Wifi. Full kitchen (no dishwasher) and grill on the porch. It is 20 minutes from park entrance so that did add to the drive but not a huge deal. Plus you save a little bit of money that way. The property manager was quick to respond. Clean and no problems at all. I would stay here again.

Quirky and convenient basecamp

Host was responsive and helpful when we inquired about sleeping accomodation for third person advertised, as the third adult in our party could not sleep comfortably on the sofa, and she provided a futon mattress which worked quite well. She also helped us light the gas fire place. Location is quiet, convenient to the park entrance and grocery, functional kitchen, washer/dryer. Made an ideal and cozy base camp, prior to backpacking trip!

Middle of no-where Texas

We stayed at this property while we explored Big Bend National Park. It was difficult to find as there was NO house number on the property, even though we followed the directions given to us by the host. We definitely overpaid for this property in which we felt like we were camping as we were constantly improvising to get by, especially in the kitchen. Other things: Smoke detector was taken down and was without battery Many lightbulbs were burned out. We ended up changing several ourselves. Only a miniature pot to cook with No lids for frying pans Broken screen door handle Spotty internet Grill was so dirty we couldn't use it NO CELL coverage in this part of Texas so a land line should be standard for emergencies. We've rented properties all over the world and this one, by far, was most disappointing.

Great Place to Stay

The description and photos of the property are very accurate. The place was very clean with an open concept, and more than enough room for the two of us. Internet worked inside and on the porch during our stay. Nice remote location, so bring food, and drinking water. Really enjoyed sitting on the porch in the nice, quiet evenings, and looking at the stars at night. Beautiful country. Only 20 or so minutes to Terilingua and just a little more to Big Bend.
