Fossil Knob Ridge -Chisos: Ultra-Modern Container Home

Very good communication from host. Loved the property - very remote and peaceful, comfortable king bed.

Beautiful container home. Spacious for it's size. Excellent view. Road to the home is gravel rough road and it's uphill. Recommend you have an SUV. Enjoyed our stay would stay here again in the future.

Great stargazing!

Clean equiped property. Off the beaten track enough that there was no traffic even from locals.

Our six-day stay at Chisos House was fantastic. Property description exactly as listed - amazing sunrises, dark skies, and view of Big Bend NP. Communication from host prior to and during our stay was accurate (type of vehicle needed to access property and directions), helpful and prompt.Location is perfectly situated to enjoy time in both Big Bend National Park and Big Bend State Park Ranch. We probably wouldn’t have considered the State Park if the National Park facilities hadn’t been closed due to govt shutdown. Beautiful hikes in both BBNP and BBSPR with our three year old.

The property was secluded and quiet. It was a little slow getting to it but no problem for our well seasoned 4 wheel drive; excellent directions from the host! The kitchen was ideal with all full size appliances and a wealth of utensils and cookware. The bed was comfortable, not too firm or soft. The views were amazing! We spent most of our time on the patio when not out exploring the area. The grill worked perfectly and we cooked several meals there. The bathroom shower was huge and impressive; the extra small bathroom sink took some getting used to but it was manageable. A big thank you to the hosts who were very helpful. We will definitely stay there again!

We ran into an ant problem the host told us it was not common problem but there were 3 cans of ant spray under the sink.Also had to ration water but turning water on and off in the shower would have made nice to know when we booked the property

Our stay at Fossil Knob Ridge - Chisos was nothing short of incredible! The ultra-modern container home was spotless, thoughtfully designed, and packed with everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing getaway. The panoramic views of the desert and distant mountains were absolutely breathtaking—sunrises and sunsets here are a must-see!We especially loved the attention to detail throughout the space, from the cozy bedding and sleek furnishings to the fully equipped kitchen. The remote, peaceful setting gave us a true escape while still being just a short drive to Big Bend National Park and Terlingua.This place is a perfect blend of style, serenity, and convenience. We’ll absolutely be recommending it to friends and can’t wait to return. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

With all the over-priced, but underwhelming accommodations that have popped up in the area contrasted with ones that are past their prime, Fossil Knob is perfect. Easy access to the park and ghost town but still peaceful with great views.

Perfectly unique home base for a trip to Big Bend. My two kiddos and I visited in January and stayed for 3 nights. Wonderful vistas in the morning and night. The patio faces the sunrise, great view and peaceful way to start the day with coffee. Stars at night were amazing. Container is cozy, very comfortable, and totally workable.

Wow is all that I can say about the view from this property. Perched on top of the hill facing the mountains. Perfectly located to visit Big Bend National Park and Big Bend Ranch State Park. Plenty of neat shops and restaurants within a mile of the house. A very neat container home. Well stocked with paper products and coffee supplies. There was a nice firepit for evenings watching the stars, and I do mean plenty of stars in the sky. If you are looking for a stay in the area, this is it.

The property is well done and well maintained. Exactly like the photos and description. Property manager great. Beatiful views of the mountains in Big Bend from the patio.

This review is long overdue BUT my stay is not easily forgotten. What a wonderful location. The container home was conveniently located 1.5 miles to the Terlingua Ghost town. The road lets out right next to the old theater. The home was set up to face the mountains and sunrise and sunset were easily viewed everyday. We went when the moon was full and the temps were very mild and comfortable in the evenings. Everything was provided that we could need. There is a full grocery store in Alpine and a small one in Terlingua. Go to this place if you want ease of access, beautiful views, and off the path seclusion that is “just right”. I will stay here again.

Wonderful views and great privacy. The house is very comfortable. Directions were great. Last couple of miles were an adventure but well worth it.

The Chisos property at Fossil Knob Ridge is such a great place to stay when visiting the Terlingua/Big Bend area. The views are gorgeous and the stargazing is outstanding! While the trek up the last stretch of road is a little bumpy, it is very conveniently located and everything is just as described. There has also been a lot of thought and care put into the necessities and amenities available. We had an awesome stay!
