Good to know

Each unit is thoughtfully designed with a convenient kitchenette space featuring a mini fridge, ideal for preparing light meals and snacks. After a day of adventure, guests can refresh in their full bathroom before unwinding in their private sitting area, complete with a cozy propane fire pit. Moreover, our hotel-quality queen beds provide an unmatched opportunity to marvel at the stars all night through giant windows and a skylight, offering a truly magical experience. Although our off-grid nature escape offers a peaceful retreat from the digital world, we also provide Wi-Fi throughout the property for your convenience should you choose to stay connected. We are less than 20 minutes to both Big Bend National Park and Terlingua Ghost Town, but tucked away from heavily traveled roads and highways. Our property offers the perfect blend of proximity to local attractions without the disruption of noise or traffic. Embrace the off-grid charm alongside modern amenities, making it an ideal destination for those seeking a serene retreat in the heart of nature. Like most properties on dirt roads in the area, heavy rains can make the roads difficult for travel/impassable for hours to days. There are a few dry creek crossings that can occasionally flash flood, but they usually clear within a few hours after the rain. Although rain in the desert is rare, if there is moderate rain, we simply ask that guests wait until it has passed and roads are clear before traveling. If we anticipate severe rain during your stay, we will contact you to discuss options. We also have other nearby accomodations that are shown in the photos and available to rent. Please let us know if you would like to book more than one unit for additional discounts.

The experience was Wonderful! We had a great time. This is definitely what you want if you are looking for off-grid done right, a beautiful place to relax and marvel at the wild, unscarred desert mountains of the Terlingua area. And what fun, welcoming people we encountered! The atmosphere there does not allow you to be a grouchy hum-bug; it makes you want to enjoy all your fellow humans. Brianna and Wyatt have great hearts, deep knowledge of the area and are experts at helping you thoroughly enjoy your visit ! You will experience the darkest night sky with the brightest starry vista, the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets, and unimaginable up close and far distant views. A once in a lifetime adventure that you will want to repeat as often as you can. Brianna and Wyatt, Thank You !

We had the pleasure of staying at the Nova, and I must say, it exceeded our expectations. The property was exactly as described, and then some. Secluded Serenity: Tucked away from the hustle and bustle, this place offers true seclusion. The winding path leading to the container ensures you’re far from the main road, allowing for uninterrupted peace and relaxation. Starry Nights and Sunrise Magic: The highlight for me was the breathtaking view of the night sky. With minimal light pollution, the stars seemed to dance in celebration. Pure magic! Culinary Delights: The local food was a delightful surprise. Don’t miss the chance to savor the flavors of the area. Hiking Paradise: If you’re an outdoor enthusiast, you’re in luck. There are numerous hiking trails within a 30-60 minute drive. The National and State parks are just a short drive. Lace up those hiking boots and explore! In summary, if you’re yearning for a slice of quietude and privacy, I highly recommend the Nova.
