We had a great stay at La Paloma Triste. The host was very responsive when I needed to contact them with questions upon our arrival. The house was not fancy but very comfortable and perfect for our stay. The location is very convenient to BBNP, BBRSP, and close to Terlingua. Amenities do not provide a tv but we were able to bring one from home in case we needed to use it but the starlit night and landscape was a great substitute for a tv! The internet speeds were amazing and better than what we have at home. Thanks for a great homebase for our family.

Decent older house in the middle of the desert about 1.5 miles north of Study Butte. Had a covered garage or parking area which was nice in this heat. One is about 500-1000 feet from a small mountain. Kitchen had everything I needed: regular sized refrigerator, toaster, microwave, stove, utensils, etc. No AC unit in the kitchen. Can get a bit warm in the kitchen in the mornings. I was there in early Sept. 100 degrees every day but the window units worked well in the living room and bedrooms. Beautiful wood floors. Nice Western? Desert? decor. I had available a Chisos cabin, which I love and would have been cooler. However, this trip was mainly focused on astrophotography and the forest in Chisos would block the night sky. Here, in the desert, the sky was endless, which was great for my shooting the nebulas and such. I also loved is being close to the west entrance to the park. Easy to get into the park and hike.Since so close to Study Butte, very close to Terlingua. I am a photographer so I am always taking photos, if with only my iPhone. The next section asked for photos. I thought I did not have any but I actually had a few. These are all from the house. The bird shots are with my camera and long lens, the rest with iPhone. One is sunset, looking west, and another is looking east at the Chisos mountains, in the park. One is the living room with the kitchen at the end and one of the bedrooms to the right and all my junk scattered.

Beautiful and remote location. The home was clean, comfortable and practical for hikers at Big Bend. The drive way is gravel with some sharp turns, so best to get there before dark!

Wonderful Place to Spend a Few Days

My wife and I really enjoyed our quiet time out in the country. The cabin was well appointed and the beds were very comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. And the stargazing was amazing.

Beautiful views

This house was perfect for our family trip to see both the national and the state park. The property has a beautiful 360 view of the desert with ocotillos, birds, and mountains everywhere. Willow mountain right next to it is a lovely sight.

Beautiful Rustic Cabin

My family and I loved this cabin. It was immaculate when we arrived. The location is fantastic, just a few minutes outside of Terlingua and 10 minutes away from the entrance of Big Bend. The instructions were very easy to understand and made it impossible to get lost. If we return to Big Bend, we’ll rent this cabin again.

We enjoyed our 3-day stay at La Paloma Triste. The peaceful beauty of the property is a big draw. Stargazing each night and watching the sunrise in the morning made for wonderful experiences. The managers answered all communications very promptly. We would definitely stay here again.

We felt liike we were living the natural wonderland of West Texas, but inside, in a very comfortable, well-air-conditioned house. Once you went outside onto the shady back porch you were in the Chihuahuan Desert conveniently observing part of the Guadalupe Mountains. The west entrance to Big Bend National Park was a short drive away. We would definitely consider staying here again.

Perfection

Our first time to the Big Bend area. The house felt like home right away. It was exactly as described. He felt like we were visiting grandma. The porch swing was a perfect way to end the evening with a glass of wine. Plenty of space to explore. Thank you, I would not change a thing.

Desert Getaway

The Sad Dove was pure perfection! The home is located just north of Big Bend National Park, and secluded. Picturesque views anywhere on the property and all the windows provided plenty of natural light and allowed us to enjoy the view inside! The home is beautifully adorned with vintage pieces & decor. I loved the step back in time with still having modern luxuries. I highly recommend this property!

This was a perfect place for a visit to Terlingua and Big Bend. In a beautiful location just ten minutes from the businesses in Terlinqua and not far from the national park. Comfortable beds, bathrooms in both bedrooms, a nice big kitchen, and a great wood stove with plenty of wood. I loved looking out at night at the ski from the seats outside. It really was all I hoped for.

Felicidad a La Paloma Triste

We also stayed here 7 years ago, and this time it was just as good. Clean property, which is not easy in a dusty desert environment. Adobe house never gets too hot even with air conditioners off during the heat of the day. Enjoy the extreme QUIET sitting on porch in the morning and early evening. Probably the best accommodations in the area for 2-4 people wanting to make day trips into Big Bend NP.

Rustic privacy

The owners are delightful, and the house is on open desert near Big Bend, offering quietude and beautiful views. The house is old and quaint, and as such could use some TLC touches to make it a bit more comfortable.

Nice place to Come to

This house was perfect to come back to after a long day of hiking! Beds were comfortable. We did not use any kitchen stuff so we are unable to comment on the kitchenware but over all a great place to stay!
