Stayed Apr 8, 2026Our group of 7 had an amazing stay at The Perch! The house was so much fun to stay in. The view was beautiful and the house had everything we needed! The A/C and showers worked great, beds were comfortable, kitchen was well equipped. The drive up was an adventure and I would recommend a 4-wheel drive vehicle. After some afternoon thunderstorms on our last day there, we were not able to make the drive to the house in our 4-wheel drive ford expedition rental car and ended up leaving it in a safe spot and walking up to the house. We had no idea desert mud could be sooo slippery!

Stayed Mar 24, 2026The Perch is such a great place to stay if you plan on getting off the grid and away from the fast paced life. The property is great and secluded. Everything was clean and the home is well equipped for anything you want to do. You can see the sunrise and set and get great views of the night sky. The Perch is not far from Big Bend National Park and offers a great place to return to after a long day at the park. This place is a must book/see and we will be returning again in the future. We had great communication with our host with perfect instructions.

Stayed Feb 13, 2026Wonderful home with nobody around. Road to the house is fun. Need a high clearance vehicle. They let you know in the description and we can validate. Beds are comfortable and ac is cool. Two toilets one outside one inside. Two showers one outside one inside. There was not an oven. Not a big deal we made it work.

Stayed Aug 3, 2025We rented in August. The solar system failed. We were without power. Some of our food spoiled. We couldn’t sleep. If your system can’t handle August heat perhaps you shouldn’t rent in the summerThe house is beautiful with amazing views

Stayed Oct 27, 2024What an amazing property! Looking out at the ghost town from the top of the plateau is truly incredible, especially at sunrise and sunset. The host did not cheap out on anything from furnishings to decorations to accommodations like fire pit, outdoor shower and beautiful deck. I would highly recommend this property to anyone staying in the area for a trip to the National Park or nearby state park. The bedding was very comfortable, shower pressure was great, hot water fantastic, cooling chilly and overall a very positive experience. This is absolutely one of the more unique places I have stayed in West Texas and will be happy to come back for future trips.
