Enjoyable stay

My wife and I enjoyed 4 days here in March 2024. The trailer was perfect for the two of us. The bed was comfortable. The indoor and outdoor sitting areas were great. The eating area had a small table, mini fridge, small microwave, Keurig and water filter. The outdoor bathroom area was better than we expected - clean and spacious. Access to Big Bend NP was as close as possible. Each day it was less than 15 minutes to the park entrance. On a couple of hot days it was nice to come back to the air conditioning! While the Terlingua area is remote, the trailer is probably the “least remote” location in the area. It is centrally located in Terlingua and walkable to the main eating locations. We were there during spring break so had “peak of the peak” pricing but in the end were very pleased we stayed here!

Great location

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and will definitely come back. The location was perfect for walking throughout Terlingua Ghosttown and close to Big Bend for great adventures! Coleman was very quick and helpful in answering our questions. A couple of minor issues: 1. Keurig quit working. Worked fine once, but didn’t power up the next time. 2. Flashlight needed new batteries. Thanks for a terrific visit!

First timers in Big Bend

Place was really accommodating to the locations of all the places to eat and see. Also it was very comfortable and my wife and I really enjoyed the views. And saying good morning to the rabbits. If you stay you will enjoy it, especially if trying to just get away and spend quality time together

Visiting Big Bend National Park from the Pearl

We enjoyed our stay, could not have done it without the Tesla charger that worked great. EZ access to park, close places to eat. The shower was nice and we slept well. We also bought some firewood and relaxed at night by the fire pit. RECOMMEND!!
