About this property

Lajitas House - River and Mountain Views

Summary:
Lajitas House offers comfort and convenience with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Located in the historic Lajitas Resort, just 30 minutes from Big Bend National Park, 20 minutes from the Terlingua Ghost Town, one mile from Big Bend Ranch State Park, and a short walk to the Lajitas boardwalk. Relax in the shade of our front porch. Prepare your meals in our fully equipped kitchen. Visit with family or friends in our beautifully decorated living room. Retire for the night in our comfortable bedrooms.

The Space:
Lajitas House is in the historic Lajitas Resort area just 30 minutes from the beauty of the Big Bend National Park and 1 mile from the Big Bend Ranch State Park. Both parks have a variety of hikes and some truly spectacular scenery. Be sure to visit the local Barton Warnock Environmental Education Center on the east side of Lajitas for information and interesting exhibits.

Afterwards, relax in the shade of our front porch, enjoy the pristine view out across the shimmering Rio Grande River into the majestic mountains of Mexico or walk down the hill and sit by the river. Enjoy the peacefulness that underlies the Lajitas experience.

Lajitas House is within walking distance to the Lajitas boardwalk which offers shopping and a full service spa. Walk to the historic Lajitas Trading Post, which includes a deli, or to the Candellia, an excellent restaurant on the boardwalk where you can enjoy a meal in rustic elegance outdoors or in. The Thirsty Goat Bar offers a variety of libations in a comfortable and richly decorated environment.

Lajitas House is ideally located for easy access to resort facilities in Lajitas (except, there is no access to the resort pool). However, please note that at particularly busy times, the resort may occasionally limit access to the golf course, dining options, or other resort amenities. We recommend that guests check with Lajitas Resort to verify access to any resort amenities they may plan to utilize, including world-class golfing at Black Jack's Crossing, the Agave Spa, and the Equestrian Center.

A twenty minutes drive east and you are in the historic Terlingua Ghost Town. The world famous Chili Cook-off Championship occurs annually early in November. In Terlingua you can enjoy dining at The Starlight Theatre Restaurant and Bar and shopping at the Trading Post.

A short drive west from Lajitas House on the spectacular River Road (Texas 170) takes you through the magnificent vistas of Big Bend Ranch State Park and past historic Fort Leaton to the official border crossing at Presidio. On the Mexican side is the city of Ojinaga, site of the historic Battle of Ojinaga between the rebel soldiers of Pancho Villa and Mexican Federales.

Recently the crossing into Boquillas, a small Mexican border town on the Rio Grande Mexico became a reality. If you choose to make this adventure part of your Big Bend experience, you must have a passport. Boquillos is on the east side of Big Bend National Park. Remember: You must have an unexpired passport.

The Neighborhood:
Lajitas House is ideally located for easy access to resort facilities in Lajitas (except the private pool). However please note that at particularly busy times, the resort may limit access to the golf course, dining options, or other resort amenities. We recommend that guests check with Lajitas Resort to verify access to any resort amenities they may plan to utilize, including world-class golfing at Black Jack's Crossing, the Agave Spa, and the Equestrian Center.

Nice quiet getaway, near two wonderful parks!

This property worked out great for our party of 4. We spent the days exploring Big Bend, and enjoyed the sunset from the porch. Everything was in order, and communication with the property manager was great.

Perfectly located to visit Big Bend National Park and enjoy the sights in Lajitas.

The spacious house was perfect for four friends enjoying the beauty of this unique part of Texas. The decor was charming, influenced by both the Southwest and Mexico. The kitchen was well equipped and the table situated with a view towards the lovely sunsets. We loved our time at Lajitas House!

We loved the artistic touches throughout this home. It has all the amenities you need for a comfortable stay. The view was beautiful. This was a great spot to explore Teralingua and the Big Bend Ranch State Park, and was still just a short drive to Big Bend National Park.

Great Girls Weekend

This place was perfect! We had the best view, a great patio overlooking Mexico, walking distance to Lajitas Resort (Food, Golf, Bar) but far enough away you feel like you have the whole canyon to yourself. We were 5 girls and it was great size and an easy drive to Terlingua/Big Bend. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you!

Gorgeous Lajita house and views!

The house was gorgeous and very comfortable and the views were amazing. I'm giving it 4 stars because there was no wifi and we found 2 scorpions in the house, which is probably typical for the area. But other than that, it was a comfortable stay and a great location.

Such peace and quiet

This was a beautiful place to stay! My husband and I would sit on the front porch to watch the sun go down, and the stars come out. I had forgotten what silence sounded like. The house was perfect and spacious and everything we were looking for. I would definitely stay here again, and bring our grown children with us.

Wonderful Big Bend Rental

Great house with wonderful views. Nicely accommodates 4-6. Large kitchen and dining area. Comfortable accommodations. The sunsets and sunrises are beautiful. Great location to take in nearby towns and sights. Be sure to take the scenic drive to Presido and Closed Canyon. BBNP entrance is just up the highway from the rental. Would definitely rebook this rental for my next trip to BBNP. Hosts were great and we had no issues.

Great location....in need of repairs

The Lajitas house is a wonderfully located 2 bedroon rental house. It has an amply supplied kitchen and a spacious living/dining room. Star watching is great from the rock front area. The local rental managers were very responsive to a call to fix the toilet and a couple other minor items. Internally the house neeeds a makeover to repair loose floor tile, ceiling joint repairs, and new msttresses in non ensuite bedroom. The price seemed a bit excessive given the age etc. Overall it is a great getaway location just needing a bit of TLC.
