Terlingua Casita de Chiles Barndominium

Great views and perfect location. Host made sure everyone had a nice time. Just as described in rental listing.

Our stay was wonderful. Thanks to our wonderful hosts we had everything we needed for the week. The house was just the right size. We loved the view of the mountains and all the wonderful wildlife that come to this sanctuary in the desert. Looking forward to returning when we can get on the calendar.

What a great place to kick back, watch the amazing stars, watch an abundance of wildlife, and an occasional black bear. The owners of this property were absolutely top notch with such hospitality. Mark and Michelle were very helpful and knowledgeable about the Big Bend area. It is a little bit of a drive, but trust me, it is well worth it! If you are wanting to experience a true night sky with zero light pollution, this truly is the spot to visit! You wont be disappointed! Thank you Mark & Michelle!

What an amazing place to enjoy the solitude of nature. Mountains and desert landscape is so amazing and all the wildlife is a joy. The hosts are phenomenally nice people and have taken well care of everything!

Michelle and Mark were wonderful hosts going out of their way to make sure our stay was enjoyable. Mark took special care to give really good directions to the location. Michelle was on the property since we were behind their house. She was very helpful and fun to talk to!

Great place, amazing stars. House is, well equipped, great environment, helpful owners.

We also got to see some foxes as well all kinds of wild life our host was very friendly and made us feel at home the place was amazing hot tube was so relaxing as well oh and most of all can not forget Chula there dog she loves giving hugs and kisses such a beautiful dog can not wait to go back we sure did not want to come home if anything ya!!

Host hospitality, quietness, variety of supplies, cleanness

Property was off the beaten path but very comfortable and satisfying. Nearby amenities offered a pleasant experience and great service.

This is an wonderful B&B with outstanding hosts. This is a great place for hikers and Birders going to Big Bend and other local venues! Comfortable, spacious, two bedrooms and two baths. Full kitchen. I am a birder, and we did as much birding walking the desert here as we did on Big Bend!! Cannot recommend this too highly!!! Thanks Mark and Michelle!!

Amazing stay, 100% would recommend

We originally planned a family trip, but my daughter had to cancel last minute, so it was just my husband and me. It all worked out as a perfect little 26th anniversary trip. We stayed on the property the entire time and enjoyed a late afternoon dip in the hot tub. We had a wonderful time together stargazing and watching all the wildlife. We saw so many birds, javalinas, deer, and even got to see 3Paws the bear. It was a new moon, so we took some amazing photos of the stars. The hosts were wonderful and we'd definitely love to visit again asap.

We would like to thank the host couple for their wonderful hospitality. They were incredibly kind, friendly, and welcoming.The house was impeccable — extremely clean, with an amazing view and a breathtaking sunset. The bed was very comfortable, and the bed linens and towels were top quality.It was absolutely worth it, and we would happily come back again.

Great stay with beautiful sunsets!

Great property, excellent hosts, loved the remoteness of the location with the birds and deer. Recommend highly if going to Big Bend NP or Terlingua

We had a very nice trip to Big Bend National Park and the property we stayed at was very clean and well stocked. We would definitely recommend this property. The host communicated very well with us and they were also on the property for any questions. The hot tub was a bonus for us after our day hikes.

It was a great place to stay. They had everything you needed and more. Would highly recommend.

Michelle & Mark were great host, so welcoming & informative on the area. Barndominium was clean and had everything we needed. Bed was comfortable, plenty of kitchenware for cooking & living room had 2 very comfortable couches. Outside had a gas grill fot grilling, hot tub for soaking & plenty of seating to relax or enjoy a fire. Great for our trip to Big Bend National Park & State Park. We would recommend for your stay as well!

We had the BEST trip to Casa de Chiles. The check-in process was extremely easy since our hosts had communicated with us ahead of time. The location is stunning and the amenities on property were perfect for a family enjoying a trip to Big Bend. Would HIGHLY recommend this property to anyone looking in the area!

Everything was as expected. Enjoyed hot tub while viewing stars. Hosts were very nice and helpful. Highly recommend property.

Everything was great

Great experience! Hosts are great! Very friendly and willing to help make the experience the best.

Hosts were so kind and welcoming! We flew into ELP drove 4.5 hours (stopped for gas & groceries). Arrived evening to see amazing stars, (the hosts put out feed to bring in)20 mule deer, 2 baby javalina, and a road runner! Rooms were clean and loved having separate bathrooms. Porch /patio / hot tub was our favorite hangout. Approx 30 mins to town of Terlingua, 45 to entrance of state park, 45 to BBNP entrance. Hosts were fun to chat with and offered any help. Thanks!

Casita de Chiles was a perfect home base for our visit to Big Bend. The place was exactly as described and was welcoming, cozy, and comfortable. The views were incredible both day and night. The sunrise over the mountains was a perfect way to start our day. The stargazing in the evening was amazing. We were able to see the Milky Way from right outside the door. The welcome book provided was full of great information about the surrounding area, and the directions provided in advance made finding the barndominium easy, even in the dark. Would definitely stay here again.

Hosts were very welcoming! A remote setting…. Just what we were looking for. Great dark sky! Kitchen stocked with more than expected! Clean with personal touches!

Great place to stay. Second time to visit this property. Michelle and Mark are amazing hosts! Very responsive and knowledgeable about the area and things to do. Amazing stargazing from the hot tub!We will be back, again!

We enjoyed our stay here. The barndo was just right for the three of us. We had a place to prepare food and two bathrooms which is very important when you have three women together. The trek to the place was entertaining but we were warned ahead that it was dirt roads so we were not surprised. We loved all the wildlife we seen. We even seen javelinas on the way out! Mark educated us about flora which we very much enjoyed. Michelle and churo were nice as well.

What a special place and more importantly, what special people. Casa de Chiles is a well appointed piece of heaven in the middle of the desert. Beautiful sunrises, sunsets, and night skies only make things better. Great launching point for anything Big Bend has to offer. Michelle and Mark are incredible hosts that go above and beyond all expectations. Totally grateful for a wonderful stay and experience. Gracias.

Mark and Michelle thought of everything here. Super friendly and prompt communication-always a step ahead of any needs. We were glad to have such a comfortable place with amenities after long days of hiking. Beautiful property, everything done with care, love, and a bit of education. Thanks for a great stay!

We recently visited Big Bend National Park and stayed here, and honestly, the experience was incredible. From the moment we arrived, the energy of the place felt welcoming and calm—like walking into a real home. The barndominium was extremely well stocked with essentials, thoughtfully set up, and genuinely comfortable.The views were beautiful, and the amenities were amazing—hot tub, grill, and everything you could possibly need right there. It’s about an hour and a half from Big Bend National Park and roughly 45 minutes from Terlingua, which made it a perfect location.Everything was easy and self-explanatory, and it was even decorated for Christmas, which made our stay extra special since we were there with family and little kids. It added such a magical touch to the trip.Overall, it was an amazing experience, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay.

Highly communicative hosts who warmly welcomed us to the barndo. You’re not roughing it here. The sunsets were great, and the wildlife will practically touch you. We enjoyed the hot tub both nights.

The host was welcoming. Lovely accommodations. Memorable trip to show my great-granddaughters the stars.

Host communicated promptly and frequently. This is great place to view the stars over Texas without light pollution. It was quiet and remote. Enjoyed our stay.

Mark and Michelle were amazing hosts and very accommodating. We enjoyed our stay in their barndo with beautiful veiws in the day time as well as the stars at night. Beds and all of the furnishings were all very comfortable and cozy. Would highly recommend a stay at their property and will definitely be back to stay there again ourselves!

The location, amenities, and host attention to details are making this rental place a real gem. The hosts are extremely welcoming and they go above and beyond to make sure your stay is a memorable one.

Everything was clean and cozy. Hosts are so awesome and helpful. Beds were comfortable. Plenty of blankets. Big bend park is beautiful. Nice hot tub. Kitchen had everything we needed

Everything was in great condition and Michelle and Mark were so wonderful. The excursions were so fun!

Cooking was enjoyable having a fully stocked kitchen. It was nice having filtered water from the tap. It wasn't very hard to observe water conservation which was obvious being in the desert. Although we didn't use the hot/cold tub ourselves it looked very inviting.

We hit a home run with this stay! Mark and Michelle were the most hospitable host and their place does not disappoint! In fact, we saw more wildlife on their property than at Big Bend. Deer, javelina, quail, fox and even some wild burros on the main road. If you want a quiet location with wildlife, book this one. I didn’t even mention the local cafe just 5 minutes away for breakfast, lunch or dinner and the star gazing was spectacular! This place really has it all!

House was very clean, hot tub water we couldn't get warm but we didn't ask for help. I really liked the house and hostess but felt it was a bit far from the national park. I didn't realize I was going have go down a dirt road to get to the house.

Excellent stay!

Nice location. House is clean. Hosts are very accommodating. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Nice accommodations.

The house was very clean and the hosts were very hospitable. Enjoyed watching the wildlife.

Hosts were very kind and informative. Loved the two rooms and two bathrooms and that there was a cafe a mile way. Porch was amazing and the house was well stocked.

Great place to stay when visiting Big Bend National Park.

Mark and Michelle were awesome from start to finish of our trip! The barndo was very nice and comfortable with a great upper porch for coffee in the mornings and the lower part for sitting in the hot tub. We will be back!!!

If you’re looking for an off the beaten path getaway, this place is for you. It’s quite remote, but well worth the drive. The hosts are very welcoming and friendly, and they’ll show you everything you need to know when you check in. The place is clean and has good WiFi. The hot tub is exactly what you need after a long day hiking at Big Bend and the stars at night are beautiful. If you’re looking for a place to stay whilst going to Big Bend, this is the place for you.

Highly recommended!.. Everything from directions , accommodation , cleanliness and very kind hosts who were responsive to any questions we had !.. The views are amazing… the peace and quiet speaks for itself .. we will be coming back !.. thanks again Mr & Mrs Chiles

The apartment was great! It had everything we needed and was clean. The sunset views and stars at night were amazing. Lots of wildlife too. Great place to stay off the beaten path. The owners are friendly and responsive. Highly recommended!

The place was awesome. The kids seen some noce wildlife around the place. The hosts were great at communication. Would stay at same place again.

The Chiles' barndominium made for the perfect basecamp for my family as we explored all of the must do's in the area. The host were friendly, welcoming. We saw mule deer from the privacy and javelina while soaking in the hot tub. Our stay at the Chiles' barndominium was nothing short of incredible. It served as the perfect basecamp for exploring everything the Big Bend area has to offer. The location gave us a true taste of the Texas Big – wide-open skies, rugged beauty, and a peaceful atmosphere that made it hard to leave.The hosts were warm, welcoming, and made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. One of the highlights was spotting mule deer right from the comfort of the property, and we even saw javelinas while relaxing in the hot tub – an unforgettable experience!Our stay at the Chiles' barndominium was nothing short of incredible.

The property is very well maintained and the apartment is very nice.

Great Hosts, quiet awesome views A

The Barndominium offers picturesque scenery with close-up wildlife (deer) spotting, a comfortable, cozy ambience, and everything you need to get away, relax, and unwind. Mark and Michelle are gracious hosts and keep you in the loop with interesting sights to see and places to go. We had an excellent time!

Really a great property! Comfortable beds and plenty of space for 4 adults. Hot tub and outdoor patio was wonderful. We were even able to swim in the pool down the road. We were doing a four day tour of Big Bend National Park which is why we booked the space. It’s out in the middle of nowhere so did take some extra time to get places but that didn’t deter us

Access to Casita de Chiles Barndominium is somewhat challenging with a few miles of dirt road at the end but it's worth it! Mark and Michelle were excellent - they live on the property so were accessible and easy to talk to. It was a good location for accessing Big Bend NP, which was the reason for our visit. We were interested in the birds and wildlife and were not disappointed: saw plenty of mule deer, a couple of javalina, and plenty of birds.

The barndominium was spacious, extremely well furnished and equipped with everything you could ever need including condiments and other food items. Great! The guys loved the hot tub on the great patio area, and we saw javalinas wandering close by. Though very remote which we knew from the website description, we did not realize it would take so long to get from the place to the highway. It added 30 minutes one way to our daily excursions. Overall a great place!

Really enjoyed our stay! House was perfect, had all the amenities needed! Mark and Michelle were the best, very accommodating and available to us! Can’t wait to go back!

So clean and friendly helpful owners. Outdoor space was wonderful for sitting by an evening fire or hanging on the porch catching the breeze watching deer, javelina, birds, and bunnies. The night sky views were phenomenal. My bed was comfy and the room stayed nice and cool. Only downside was the distance to the park. Over an hour drive to Terlingua. Not a show stopper, but be aware.

My husband, 11 year old daughter, and I had a four day stay and it was awesome! While yes, the road in (Terlingua Ranch Rd) was a bit long and rough, especially due to two miles of it being unpaved, we were fully aware of that and just knew to take our time. The apartment itself was amazing and offered beautiful views of the mountains and terrain during the day and the stars at night. Mark and Michelle were amazing and offered a lot of insight as to things to do and see. We planned our days so we would be either at Big Bend (kayaking the Rio Grande and horseback riding) or exploring the Terlingua Ghost Town and the beautiful views along 170 and then head back to the apartment at night to relax.

We had a great time here. The listing is exactly as described and Michelle and Mark are great and very friendly. It was really nice coming back to comfy beds after a long day in the park. We will definitely stay here again.

We loved our experience in the Barndo! The hosts were very responsive and had the unit stocked with most everything you could want. We would definitely stay here again.

such wonderful and hospitable hosts - the place was very comfortable, and in beautiful surroundings. extremely clean. we loved the hot tub, star gazing, and watching wildlife from the porch. only 1 hr from big bend national park. highly recommended!

Michelle and Marc are very attentive hosts. The apartment was very clean and well kept. I wish we had more time to spend at the property as we were on a short getaway. We will definitely go back and spend more time at the property.

Valentines getaway to explore Big Bend & Terlingua. We were quite comfortable @ the Barndo. Beds are comfortable & appreciated TVs in both bedrooms It’s remote & we appreciated that. Mark & Michelle are very hospitable & have stocked with all items needed, even water, granola bars & crackers out on arrival.

I would highly recommend for anyone wanting to stay in the Terilingua area!

Wonderful location with amazing hosts. This place has everything you want and need for a Big Bend vacation.

Great little place to stay when visiting the area. Hosts are very helpful and responsive to and questions or needs. Stayed here for a race in Big Bend and will stay again!!

The location was awesome, convenient for us to go to Big Bend NP. We liked the remote location. The hosts were very helpful and nice upon our arrival. Would like to stay here again. The place was very clean and had very nice features for our family. Had everything we needed for cooking our meals too. We had no problems at all with this place. Would recommend to anyone to stay here.

This property was a fantastic deal and was just as nice as advertised. The building is small but clean and cozy. The location can be a bit hard to reach so definitely take a car you don't mind bumping around a bit in though!

We chose a new moon for a return trip to Big Bend so we could get the full dark sky experience. What an amazing sight to see so many stars and the Milky Way each night! We also wanted to see a bit more of BBNP. Our hosts were terrific, communication was excellent, check-in and out was simple, and the place is cozy and well-supplied. Only wish it was a little more convenient to the park but we were warned so that’s nobody’s fault but ours. We enjoyed the surroundings and the Bad Rabbit Cafe. If you don’t mind driving (which you shouldn’t if you’re coming out this far), this is a great place to stay while you’re visiting Terlingua, Big Bend, etc.

Cozy stay with great views

Everything was great! Excellent communication with owners. They were even so kind to mail me something that I had forgotten from our stay there. I highly recommend this place.

This was one of the best equiped, most complete vacation rentals I have ever encountered. It was wonderful! Mark and Michelle were great hosts, always responding quickly and thoroughly to our questions.The casita had plenty of coffee, condiments, paper towels and toilet paper, unlike many others. They also had lots of towels for the hot tub, blankets for cuddling when out in the chilly evening air and plenty of comfortable furniture. This home is off the beaten track, which is exactly what we wanted. We saw all kinds of wildlife, great birds, and lovely desert plants.We did a jeep tour with Far Flung Adventures, recommended by Mark, that was excellent, and visited both the state and national Big Bend parks. It was a terrific four days.

Everything was clean with good signage and directions on everything as well as a cery helpful welcome binder!

The two bedroom apartment was wonderful, just the right space for three adults and two kids. Kitchen was well equipped. Outdoor areas were fabulous for viewing wildlife - deer, javalina, rabbits, foxes, quail and other birds. We went to Big Bend so the only drawback was over an hour drive to the park. But I don’t know that there is anything this nice that is closer. Would definitely stay there again.

We came to Terlingua for our son’s “destination wedding” & our stay at Casita de Chiles was so great! Yes it’s very remote being located on a big ranch, but defintely well-worth the drive out. Owners Mark & Michelle are very friendly & so accommodating, even immediately replaced a refrigerator that was on the blink!! This barndominium was stocked with everything we needed & more! Lots of wildlife viewing here & the area is SO quiet & peaceful. We enjoyed relaxing around the fire pit in 1 of the 3 outdoor seating areas and experiencing truly awesome dark skies! Thanks Mark & Michelle!

Absolutely loved it here. From the comfortable everything to the little extras!! Greetings by hosts plus all the deer!! Water, granola bars and crackers set out for us!! Plenty of towels, a magnifying mirror, quick response from hosts. Relaxed, friendly and knowledgeable!! We loved it!!

We loved the place and location, it has beautiful views. We got to see a few road runners, a fox and whole family of deer. Mark and Michelle were very nice and had great communication. My kiddos loved to explore outside and get to play with Chula. She is a sweet heart. We hope to make it back sometime soon!!
