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.
