Casa Mariposa: Restored Rock Ruin in Ghost Town

Casa Mariposa is an adventure unto itself. A truly unique property. Would go back !

Interesting place that is exceptionally clean and comfortable. Great location with easy access to everything Terlingua has to offer.

This was a quirky niche place with plenty of atmosphere. Views were amazing. It is located in Terlingua ghost town so one can easily walk around the area. The house itself has separate kitchen/bedroom bath areas, so you must go outside to move between the areas. This was not a real problem, just quirky. We had a couple of small issues that were resolved quickly.

This place was nice and unique. The communication was EXCELLENT as were the directions. There are lots of places to stay in Terlingua and this one was very unique. I loved that you could open the windows at night. The kitchen was great for morning breakfast burritos. The highlight was the outdoor patio. It was covered and very relaxing!!! We even had a Roadrunner visit us everyday.Just some notes (do NOT take these as negatives). I took a couple along as a belated wedding gift. As stated there is a second bedroom (separate). If you want to use the BEAUTIFUL bathroom at night, you must go outside and around to the bathroom through and outside door. Bring a flashlight. Second, there is NOT a living room area. We spent our time on the patio, however, if you wanted to stay inside you would sit on your bed. I would recommend this place for your stay. OH, the eating places are a close walk away :)

We enjoyed the view, the sunset and the thunderstorms. The patio was a great place to sit and relax. Easy access to the Ghost town, Big Bend.

This is our second time at Casa Mariposa. The place is Terlingua funky and eclectic. But also very comfotable, clean, upgraded with everything you need. And the views from sitting on the patio are beautiful looking into the mountains.

Beautiful home. Super clean!

The house was beautiful. We enjoyed the craftsmanship of the restoration and attention to detail. It held the spirit of Terlingua.

Beautiful casa and host was very responsive to questions! Enjoyed morning coffee watching the sun rise and star gazing at night drinking wine

Conveniently located near the ghost town of Terlingua which is much more lively than the name implies. Access to Big Bend NP hiking trails and Rio Grande within 35-45 minutes. Appreciated the ability to cook meals at the house and having a hot shower to rinse the days hiking dust off. The highlight was the dark night skies and the ability to see so many stars and the Milky Way. Will stay again when we visit the area.

Perfect accommodations!

Very different and unique - gives you a feel of the outdoors with comfort and convenience of modern living. We used this place as a basecamp for our daily adventures and would recommend for individuals. Also has a pet roadrunner whom just hung around us a lot….

Unique home conveniently located near Big Bend National Park. Beautiful patio to enjoy the dark skies of Texas!

Had a great few days in Terlingua visiting family nearby. The Casa was so really nicely updated, comfortable, great beds, quite, beautiful view of Big Bend in the distance. The Casa is close by food and shops. Although as guest said the bathroom is in one area and the kitchen the other it worked perfectly for us. I will be back.

I thought it was a really cool place to stay. There is two bedrooms, main bedroom bed is comfortable, second bedroom is a fold out bed that wasn’t the best. Had everything we needed in the kitchen. The bathroom was nice and large. You have to go outside to go from main bedroom to kitchen which didn’t bother us at all. The outside area is really nice with places to sit and a table to eat. This is close to starlight theatre which was a really good place to eat. One of the closest places to stay to Big Ben other than staying in Big Ben. We enjoyed our stay.

Casa Mariposa was the perfect base for a Spring Break trip for my sons and me. Close to the park, and several great places to eat closeby. Highly recommend!

Great location for visiting the park. House is unique while still having all the amenities. I like the big porch and fenced in yard. House was comfy and everything worked well. Kids were happy with the internet

This was a cute house with nice views and privacy. Walking distance to restaurants and shops. About 10 minutes to Big Bend National park and 20 to Big Bend Ranch State Park. House was clean and we had 0issuesnno issues while therr.
