Eclectic Cabin/House - Walk to Ghost Town - Minutes from Big Bend National Park
Shangri-La, our cozy 2-room casita, is one of the most unique places you'll find to stay in Terlingua.
Located at the entrance to the Buzzard's Roost property, across the street from the Historic Terlingua Ghost Town, it is in walking distance to Terlingua's shopping, art, restaurants, and nightlife, and also conveniently located just minutes from the entrance to Big Bend National Park.
The casita sleeps up to 4 people and features a completely renovated - and fully enclosed within the house - school bus that serves as the main bedroom with queen bed, soft linens, seating area, mini-split A/C unit, and back window over the bed facing the Chisos Mountains of Big Bend National Park - so you won't have to get out of bed to watch the beautiful, West Texas sunrise.
The main living area has a pull out queen sofa bed, seating area, mini-split A/C unit, a full kitchen with a gas two-burner cooktop, microwave, full-size fridge with ice maker, pots, pans, cooking utensils, dishes, wine glasses, Keurig coffee machine, and complimentary coffee and creamer.
The full bathroom has a flush toilet, hot shower, towels, hairdryer, soap and shampoo, plush bathrobes, and a claw-foot tub for your soaking enjoyment.
The large, sliding glass door of the main room faces the stunning Chisos Mountains and opens to the patio with an outdoor seating area, BBQ grill, private fire pit, and hammock.
On hot summer days, enjoy the private, shaded courtyard with a bonus outdoor shower.
The perfect stay for either a romantic getaway or a family vacation - kids love the idea of sleeping in a school bus!
A long, red velvet couch, funky local art, and a disco ball make Casa Shangri-La the most memorable place you’ll find to stay in the Big Bend.
