There is a pool that you can access for $5/day at the Terlingua Ranch Lodge. It is a 17 mile drive from our place on east on Terlingua Ranch Rd.

•OFF GRID•
This is an off grid home that is powered by the sun. That being said it does have limitations; please do not expect to charge your electric car. In the event of excessive cloudy weather we do have an alternative method to charge the batteries.

•WATER CONSERVATION•
This is the Chihuahuan Desert, water is scarce and of utmost importance. We collect all of our water during monsoon season. You have to conserve water if you stay here. It's as easy as turning the faucet off while you brush your teeth and taking quick showers.

•FIRE SAFETY•
Fire extinguishers are located under the kitchen sink and on the center post outside. If you have a camp fire please be mindful of fire safety. Do not have a fire if winds are high. The desert is a dry place and fires can spread very easily and very quickly. NEVER leave a fire unattended and be sure to EXTINGUISH all flames when you are finished.
