Cactus Corazón: Comfortable, Spacious & Secluded

We visited Big Bend to view the recent meteor shower (Geminids) and this location with its Sky deck was just the ticket. Super secluded but lots of the comforts of home. Super spacious and after a day of hiking, we chilled and watched movies and games from their library. Fully stocked kitchen with tons of supplies, including for the BBQ and fire pit (we made s'mores every night). We took the owners recommendations and loaded up on groceries in Alpine before arriving. While the location is secluded it wasn't too far off from Terilingua and Big Bend. The directions were super descriptive and had zero issue with the drive to the house. We drove in a sedan and no problem with the unpaved portion of the road. I would recommend arriving during the day since it does get so dark. The owners were super communicative; so, don't hesitate to ask any questions. Would definitely recommend!

Incredible location with great sky deck for night watching stars pictures cant justify how incredible the night sky is here so dark and quiet. Super fast internet if you need it. Fun disc golf the kids loved. Cozy house with firm, comfy queen beds. Great outdoor seating areas and fire pit. Fun games and puzzles if the sky is a little cloudy. Clean house plenty of towles and bedding.

We were very impressed with this property. Everything that we needed (including toilet paper, paper towels, linen, cooking utensils, and so much more) was provided. The views were also amazing!

The property is great, very spacious and the beds were comfortable. The facility was clean, overall it was a great stay. The kitchen was well stocked, and had everything we needed. Outside/yard activities were great for our 5 and 8 year old. We got to make s’mores and woke up one night at 3am and got go up the container and were able to see the Milky Way! It was such a great experience. We got to hear the coyotes howling at night, that was a very cool experience. We were a short 45-min-drive away from big bend, the drive into the property was easy to find and had no issues with our jeep wrangler and Nisan kick. We brought all our supplies from Walmart in Del Rio, but found a small convenient store in Terlingua “cottonwood” between the home and big bend that was fully stocked with anything and everything you could possibly imagine from contact solution to electrolytes (for a higher than usual price) but if need be, it’s a great location to find stuff that you might have forgotten. Overall we had a great experience, we had no issues with communication with the host, they provided excellent service, I would def recommend it.

We selected this property for a family get away as it was centrally located to the places and events we wanted to experience. It also provided space, comfort, seclusion and privacy. The observation deck on top of the shipping container was a big hit and excellent way to observe the stars at night while being off the desert floor. The home was very comfortable with all the amenities. We would highly recommend this property for all it has to offer.

The host describes Cactus Corazon as comfortable, spacious, and secluded. It is so all of those. Our group of six spent six nights there and we enjoyed every aspect of the property - the drive in on paved and unpaved roads (the seclusion part); the roominess and excellent condition of the interior (the comfortable and spacious parts). And we enjoyed the outdoor spaces - the deck for sunsets, the surrounding desert yard for dark sky time and nighttime searches for reptiles and other creatures, the sunrises as we left each morning for Big Bend National Park (which is spectacular in so many ways). The Alon convenience store was a daily convenient stop for gas and ice and the Cottonwood grocery store (both in Study Butte/Terlingua) was a frequent stop for supplies. We could be anywhere in the park - Santa Elena canyon to Chisos Basin to Boquillas canyon - in under two hours. And Daryl and Janet were great to work with throughout the booking process and during and after our stay. If we are ever back in the area, and we really hope we are, we'll be hoping to stay again at Cactus Corazon.

Great place to recover after hiking for several days in Big Bend National Park.

We had a lovely stay at Cactus Corazon. We could take the back roads into the park (We have a 4x4), which is one reason we chose this home. It is a very remote location, so takes some time to get to the main road. We had beautiful views of the mountains and we chose this location because we love remoteness. The house had everything we needed and the hosts were very responsive when something had to be attended to. They also promptly answered all of our questions about the area.

How does perfect sound? This property is perfect for larger groups and families. The house is so spacious, great kitchen, comfy beds and we loved the location. Close enough to the park, Terlingua, and Alpine. The kids had a blast playing outside. Plenty of board games, books and activities for everyone. Absolutely loved the solitude. Star gazing was the absolute best. Thank you so much for sharing this amazing property.

Cactus Corazon is just as great as it seems in the listing. I have stayed here multiple times and will undoubtedly stay here again. The house is wonderfully appointed, and everything is nice, clean, and in working condition. It has everything you need for your getaway and has very isolated feel without being too far or difficult to get to. To me, I consider this a prime location for the area. As mentioned before, I will almost certainly stay here again and definitely highly recommend a tua Corazon. Also, as usual, Daryl and Janet are highly responsive and wonderful to work with. They make the check in and driving instructions a breeze and their responsiveness gives confidence that you will enjoy your stay.
