Terlingua Ranch Retreat: Enviro Friendly Home

My partner and I really enjoyed this little house surrounded by the open, beautiful land of west Texas. We loved how quiet and private this was. The actual house itself was really nice and had everything you needed for a nice short stay. It was also not too far from the main area of Terlingua and Big Bend National Park. We will definitely be coming back!

We had a wonderful stay at this quiet, remote getaway retreat. So very peaceful and beautiful Southwest scenery. We saw coyotes, deer, kangaroo rats, scaled quail, rock wrens, cactus wrens, black throated sparrows, and curve-billed thrashers. The house was very clean and comfortable. We had a great 10 day stay and would definitely come back to this place if we are ever in this area again. Thank you to our hosts for sharing such a great place and being quick to respond to questions/needs we had.

back to the basics quiet and seclusion ... it was a great place to be away from it all .... we played cards every night instead of watching tv! ... the mattress was uncomfortable and a long driveway to take at 5-10 mph, but overall we enjoyed staying here!!

The total peace and QUIET, watching the sun dance across the desert and the mountains and mesas with ever undulating colors...just wow. That's just the daytime.How it comes alive at night with the coyotes and four legged creatures moving across the shale and making it clatter is nothing compared to being able to reach out and grab whichever star you like because they're all within reach. Retreat indeed. Wish I could've not left at all. Terrific remote spot with excellent hosts. The house had everything I needed and did not disappoint in my hopes and anticipation.

The ranch retreat was wonderful. It was isolated yet close enough to everything we needed. It was exactly as described in the profile. We had a great time and enjoyed the quiet and peaceful desert.

We highly recommend staying at this property! We fell in love with the serenity the retreat offers and would gladly return. The drive to Big Bend is around 40 minutes making this location a good spot for travelers to the park. The retreat is fully equipped and we recommend a stop to Alpine for supplies before arriving. Much of what is offered by the owners prior to arrival helps in the planning process. The retreat is off-grid so be prepared to consider conserving resources. The stairs are steep for those who might want to sleep in the main level as a twin bed is provided. The evenings are cool and opening windows gives you a refreshing cross breeze. The absolute best selling point are the views! Cannot be stated strongly enough, absolutely stunning and beautiful! The position of the 2 porches is perfect for viewing and photos. We also suggest arriving before dark on the first night to aide in location. Thank you to our host for sharing a beautiful memory! Pete and Kim

This is the perfect spot if you want to enjoy the area and still have your own space. The house and property were great! The owners have a great thing and I'm glad to have experienced it. Great place to stay to reconnect while you disconnect. Looking forward to returning!

No neighbors at this quiet desert cabin. Did not need to test cooling system except for few hours one day due to timely northers and nearby thunderstorms each PM. Plenty of space for walks around desert in cool mornings. Quail and other birds were plentiful, as were cactus blooms. Shower and toilet sure beat camping, but took some getting used to. Our 2 mutts got to run aound and quickly learned to avoid cactus.

We loved our stay here. While it is very remote and may not be for everyone, we had a great stay! We loved the two decks, one on each side to take advantage of the beautiful sunrises and sunsets! The house had everything we needed. The small kitchen met our needs. We prepared all our meals without a problem. The bedroom was roomy and comfortable. Thanks for a great stay!

Very few unspoiled views. Remote location.w/..plenty neighbors. The house was clean but not ment for large people. No couch. or comfortable chairs in the house. No box spring on bed. Dinning table/chairs were child sized.
