La Paloma Triste: Classic Adobe Near Big Bend NP

We felt liike we were living the natural wonderland of West Texas, but inside, in a very comfortable, well-air-conditioned house. Once you went outside onto the shady back porch you were in the Chihuahuan Desert conveniently observing part of the Guadalupe Mountains. The west entrance to Big Bend National Park was a short drive away. We would definitely consider staying here again.

This was a perfect place for a visit to Terlingua and Big Bend. In a beautiful location just ten minutes from the businesses in Terlinqua and not far from the national park. Comfortable beds, bathrooms in both bedrooms, a nice big kitchen, and a great wood stove with plenty of wood. I loved looking out at night at the ski from the seats outside. It really was all I hoped for.

This definitely rustic, lovely property was just what my family unit needed!!! The panoramic view of Big Bend area is totally amazing.

We enjoyed our 3-day stay at La Paloma Triste. The peaceful beauty of the property is a big draw. Stargazing each night and watching the sunrise in the morning made for wonderful experiences. The managers answered all communications very promptly. We would definitely stay here again.

Stayed here with my Dad and explored Big Bend. What a great experience! The perfect house for what we were doing! It feels like history right when you pull in! Will be recommending!!

Beautiful and remote location. The home was clean, comfortable and practical for hikers at Big Bend. The drive way is gravel with some sharp turns, so best to get there before dark!

Our first time to the Big Bend area. The house felt like home right away. It was exactly as described. He felt like we were visiting grandma. The porch swing was a perfect way to end the evening with a glass of wine. Plenty of space to explore. Thank you, I would not change a thing.

The Sad Dove was pure perfection! The home is located just north of Big Bend National Park, and secluded. Picturesque views anywhere on the property and all the windows provided plenty of natural light and allowed us to enjoy the view inside! The home is beautifully adorned with vintage pieces & decor. I loved the step back in time with still having modern luxuries. I highly recommend this property!

We also stayed here 7 years ago, and this time it was just as good. Clean property, which is not easy in a dusty desert environment. Adobe house never gets too hot even with air conditioners off during the heat of the day. Enjoy the extreme QUIET sitting on porch in the morning and early evening. Probably the best accommodations in the area for 2-4 people wanting to make day trips into Big Bend NP.

Easy access to BBNP. Super close to Study Butte and Terlingua, but still very private. Great sunrises and sunsets that you can watch from the front porch. We saw a couple of javelina walk by the first night. No television but we didn’t mind at all, we were busy hiking and exploring, so we went to bed early every night. The WiFi is good if you want to stream something on your phone or laptop. The shower is a little rustic, but it works just fine and there is plenty of hot water. Would definitely stay there again!

My family and I loved this cabin. It was immaculate when we arrived. The location is fantastic, just a few minutes outside of Terlingua and 10 minutes away from the entrance of Big Bend. The instructions were very easy to understand and made it impossible to get lost. If we return to Big Bend, we’ll rent this cabin again.

We had everything we needed for our week's stay. the advice to gas up in Alpine and buy food in the real grocery stores there was very helpful. The home is small but adequate. We spent very little time there since we were out sightseeing by 8:30 am every day. The Wi-Fi was good, laptop and phones worked well. I got sick, recovered in 24 hrs., & Daryl did arrange for messy laundry to be picked up early rather than let it set. A good time was had.

My wife and I really enjoyed our quiet time out in the country. The cabin was well appointed and the beds were very comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for anything more. And the stargazing was amazing.

The house is beautiful and perfectly captures the west Texas feel. It was very convenient for visiting both the state and national parks and terligua, but off the beaten path enough for some solitude. Kitchen had everything we needed and was very clean. No tv, but that was a plus- more time for star gazing. Only critique was shower pressure was very low, but it wasn't a big issue for us as we were out hiking every day. Would definitely recommend! It exceeded our expectations.
