Jackass Flats Greasewood Grocery Cabin

We enjoyed our 2 night stay at the Greasewood Grocery. The cabin is right off the main road headed to Terlingua. It’s is a rain water only non-potable water source, which was not a problem for us. We brought our own water for drinking. The shower has an instant-hot water heater., which worked great. The AC kept us cold. It does have WiFi, but we did not test it during our stay. The host is very friendly and check-in process was simple. Great place to use as a base camp while exploring the Big Bend area. 👍 PS. We did have several people stop by thinking it really was a small grocery store. 😂

No potable water. Air conditioner couldn't keep up with the temperature of 102! Need a larger a/c. It reminded us of our primitive camp in Pennsylvania. The chair was hot and no 2 places for people to sit except the the bed and the uncomfortable outdoor furniture. Definitely not worth the price!

The pictures are exactly what you get. This was my first stay in a place like this. I’m totally a beach resort type of vacationer. I was surprised how comfortable I was here. If you like taking photos the location is perfect for portraits. I got some good night sky photography here. It’s dark!

It's in the middle of nowhere and the stars are beautiful.

We couldn’t have chosen a better place for our Big Bend getaway. The cabin is about 1/2 hour from the Starlight Theatre, Terlingua Ghost Town, and the nearest gas pump, and roughly 45 min from the park entrance, easy drives since you get to enjoy the scenary. If you run low on ice, beer, or snacks, the Little Burro Country Store is practically around the corner. We saw other spots that seemed tight and too close with other rentals, this one feels pleasantly isolated. It’s just off the highway, but traffic is so light, especially after dark..that the night sky turns into a private planetarium. We spent evenings on both the front and back porches, grilling up dinners and shooting cans with the BB rifle. The AC kept the inside chill, the shower got hot fast. We still stuck to quick rinses to save water. Perfect for 2 people. Remote enough for silence and stars, close enough for convenience. Exactly what we were hoping for.

We rented this property to be close to Big Bend NP. It wasn’t that close and it wasn’t near other services as well. I should have known better. I think the property was accurately described; I was just too optimistic that it would be more convenient than it was.

Oh my stars. Just go. Stay here and I promise you'll thank me..

A very cozy cabin in quite a remote area It met our needs for our visit to Big Bend park. Just the right distance to park Traffic going by property very noisy but pretty much settled down at night

Nice and quiet

Wow, that was a great experience. We really enjoyed staying in this unique cabin. We highly recommend this West Texas cabin and the adventure it brings with it. Loved it and hope to get back soon.

We weren't expecting much, but yet we were still disappointed. Water is non-potable, so bring what you need. There is no hot water at the sink in the WC; only hot water is at the shower, so if you want hot water with which to shave or clean, you have to go to shower and bring it back to the sink - shower and sink are in different rooms. Also, there is a sign to not put ANY paper in toilet. This reminded us of our trips to Russia and other 3rd world locations. Cooking is only by microwave, and there is no place to sit and eat unless you go outside or carry the tablethat is outsid night sky, however, is truly amazing, and fortunately the traffic zooming by is mostly done by 10pm. We survived and made the best of it, but never again.

Pam was the best. Before we arrived she gave great hiking tips for BBNP and lots of info on the area around the cabin. The cabin was everything we needed to explore the area. It was clean and comfortable. If you need extra supplies, you can find the a mile to the south at the Little Burro Country Store. The night sky is unbelievable!!!!

No cell signal but fast internet. I loved sitting on the porch either watching the sparse traffic or in the back watching the sunset. This has the amenities of a hotel room but with much more character. There’s a fridge and microwave, but not much space, and you have to bring your own drinking water. The national park and any restaurant was farther away than I expected so plan ahead! Communication was great with the owner. It certainly has its drawbacks but the character made up for it. 5 stars!

Yes very good!

We enjoyed the view of the stars at night.

Great communication, excellent instructions on how to find the cabin. She answered all my questions about logistics and needing to bring water. Pam even checked area restaurants for us to find out if they were opened on Thanksgiving. Cabin was challenging to find after dark when we returning to be out for the day. Comfortable bed, great hot shower!

We would definitely stay here again. It’s a good location, not too far away from town or the national park but still secluded enough to enjoy the skies. Compared to other choices in this price range I would recommend this location given it has an attached private shower with hot water. The hosts are very accommodating and fast to reply. We stopped into the store to grab some lunch supplies and they were all friendly and helpful. If I had to leave some constructive feedback I’d say the bed is a pretty springy but again at this price I don’t think you could beat the comfort. Also recommend downloading maps so you have access offline and arriving while there is still daylight the first day. It says there is a light on the road to mark the driveway but the second night we came back after dark and had to turn around 3 times before we found it because there as not a light that could be seen from the road. All in all a great stay and I wish we had more time here.

it was exactly as described and perfect for our weekend! wrap around porch was the best and the views for sunset and sunrise perfect!

The bed was probably the most comfortable I'd slept in on my trip. Didn't like not having hot water in the wash basin. Hard to shave in a shower. A little bit futher from Big Bend than I thought.

It was a bit of a disappointment to learn that the water was not drinkable when we sadly realized that 2 days into our stay! Also, I think it may be helpful to list that there no stove or that there are no pots to cook on the grill. We did enjoy our stay, and we did not leave a tip for Sandy who came by to clean when we were leaving. How can we do that for her???

I absolutely loved the wrap around deck!

We enjoyed our stay at the cabin. 25 minutes to Study Butte and Teralingua. About 90 minutes to trailheads in Big Bend National Park. Great sunrises and sunsets. The property was clean and our host was quick to reply to our questions.

We left our RV at home and took Amtrak to Alpine and car rental to Terlingua. This cabin had all the basics plus a whole lot west Texas Charm .

Pretty much as described in listing. Very cute rustic cabin. Well decorated for area. A bit further out than I realized but very easy to get to Big Bend and Terlingua. Hot water heater was not plugged in and no instructions left for this but owners available if needed.

Great

The cabin had everything I needed and kept me warm during my stay. I typically camp when I’m in Big Bend, but Greasewood was a welcome sanctuary from a night of sleet and wind Pam was extremely communicative and helpful.And the shower was nice and hot!

Location was ideal. Ease of check in and cleanliness of the property is 5 star.

I thought this was a renovated building but it looks like all new construction to me. Must be good on the insulation cuz it never got cold. Even when it was 33 outside. Small inside heater does just fine. Not hard at all to find. Little burro store is a mile down the rrroad and it could be found on GPS Garmin

We had a really great time staying at this property. Although there are some quirks, it is fully explained on the listing and in the communications. We used to be RVers so we understand having to adjust to different situations. The only thing I would note is that if you have the room heater on, plus the water heater and then try to use the microwave, you might trip the breaker. The cabin is decorated really nice and the outside porches and firepit are great. It always takes a while to get used to a different bed, especially a bouncy one, but we did! We loved our stay and would do it again.

It is a nice little cabin to visit.

Small and quaint and quiet! Amazing view of the sky. Perfect distance for me and my sister to Big Bend Day trips and Taralingua
