Vehicles of any type can make it to this home however if there has been a heavy rain, a 4x4 vehicle is highly recommended. Although large rainstorms in the desert are rare, it is best to stay aware of the forecast during your stay. The best thing to do is to watch the 10-day forecast to determine if rain is going to be a factor for you stay. Hosts will offer flexibility around large rainstorms. * Road improvements are currently planned to add gravel to the lowest/softest part of the road to increase drivability after rainstorms.brbrThe road this house is on extends beyond the house and connects to a network of ranch roads that are fun to hike and bike. Please do not wander off the road as all of the land along the roads are private property.brPlease take a moment to ensure your guest count is accurate at the time of booking. brbrOFF GRID Home: The house is on city electric, however the water supply is rainwater catchment. All members of your party must conserve water to the best of their ability during your stay. Short showers are the best way to conserve water. brbrROAD CONDITIONS: The road to Infinite Skies Retreat is maintained regularly, but it may become impassible during and shortly after any rainfall. Except in emergency situations, please DO NOT attempt to drive on Gate 9 Road during wet conditions. Please do your best to be aware of the weather forecast. A 4WD or AWD vehicle is highly recommended. Please obey the posted speed limit of 25mph and use extra caution at night.brbrFIRES: A fire pit is available for your use; however, there are often local burn bans in effect. Please refer to the public notices on Brewster County’s website for additional information. The provided fire pit is generally compliant for use during basic burn bans, but drier conditions may warrant stricter bans. No other fires are permitted on the property. brbrCharcoal grills are not permitted. brNo fireworks. brbrPETS: Pets are not allowed at Infinity Skies Retreat. brbrACCESSIBILITY: This home has two flights of stairs (34 stairs in total), and no bedrooms on the lower level.brbrNO DIRT BIKES OR ATV`s ALLOWED: all of the surrounding roads are private and the neighbors hate these disturbances and call the police on folks that are riding on the private roads. brbrQUIET HOURS: Sound travels easily in the desert. Quiet hours are from 9:00pm until 7:00 am. brbrEVENTS: We would love to help you host your events, but prior approval is required. Message us with event inquiries!brbrEXTRA GUESTS: No extra guests are allowed on property beyond the total number of guests that are booked on the reservation without prior permission. Anyone who will be on the property must be added to the guest count and included in the reservation. brWe do have an option to add an extra guest fee for guests counts past 11, this covers water usage, trash, laundry, wear and tear as well as housekeeping. brBringing an RV that is self sufficient Run these details by us for a custom quote.brbrNO CONFETTI ALLOWED. There will be a $100 charge for us to clean up confetti. brbrNOISES: The house is constructed almost entirely of metal. The steel frame means substantial stability during heavy desert winds, but a side effect of this is some expansion and contraction during the heating of the day and cooling of the night. You may periodically hear some slight creaking and knocking noises from the outer frame and upper floor as this occurs. It is perfectly normal and to be expected. brThe water pump below the aircraft fuselage will run whenever it needs to supply water to the rest of the house. It is usually just for a few seconds, but it may startle you if you are standing near it.brbrWATER PRESSURE: This home may appear to have low water pressure, especially when you first turn on a faucet. This is quite normal and is another side effect of remote desert living. It is a result of water tanks being used in conjunction with a pump system to feed water throughout the house. When you first turn on a faucet, flush a toilet, or run any other water, the flow will be limited for 20-30 seconds until the pump automatically kicks in. When the pump kicks in, expect water pressure to rapidly increase. Do not be alarmed at the initial low water flow, and instead consider it an additional method of conservation. brThe toilets my produce a gurgling noise after being flushed. This may occur due to air pockets in the water line as the water pump kicks in.brbrTRAILS: Please remain on marked trails only while exploring the property. A trail map is included with your Guest Welcome Packet. Use of all trails is at your own risk and is limited to hiking only (with the exception of vehicular roads, such as Gate 9 Road). Please note that trails have loose rocks and steep drop-offs, and are not advisable for young children. You must be a guest of Infinite Skies Retreat to utilize hiking trails on the property. Stay on the trails. brbrHUNTING/GATHERING: Hunting is prohibited on the property, as is collection of any live animal. Please do not dig up or collect any plants from the property, including cacti. brbrSECURITY: There are two outdoor surveillance cameras on the property for your saftey - one looking up the driveway and one overlooking the parking area. These cameras are not monitored live for you privacy, but footage is available for a very limited time in case of incident. brbrALCOHOL/DRUGS: Smoking or drug use of any kind is strictly prohibited both indoors and outdoors. Consumption of alcohol should be in moderation and only for those of legal age. We ask that you refrain from using any trails or roads during, or shortly after, the consumption of alcohol. Please use proper judgement!brbrDAMAGE/THEFT: Guests are responsible for any damage sustained to the property during their stay – this includes both the house and any recreational amenities, such as trails. Respect the house, the surrounding property, and anything in the house as you would your own, and leave it whole for other guests to enjoy after you. Theft of any kind will not be tolerated and will be treated in accordance with the law. brbrGUEST ACKNOWLEDGEMENT: By accepting these house rules and booking your stay, you are representing your party as guests of Infinite Skies Retreat for the duration of your stay. I acknowledge that I have read the Infinite Skies Retreat house rules, I further acknowledge that I fully understand each item set forth in this document, and I will ensure my party complies with each item in its entirety.brbrLate checkouts without prior approval may be billed for an additional night if it interferes with our housekeepers ability to get started on time.

Relax around the campfire with a refreshing beverage, maybe even a sausage on a stick, or better yet, some s’mores. Whatever you eat and drink around the fire ring, will go well with campfire stories, some songs, or whatever else you want to do. It’s just you and your partner, or family and friends, under a starry Texas sky.brbrbrbrDuring the day, head into to park, down to Terlingua, or to the Rio Grande, or just enjoy the home and the secluded 65 acres of Chihuahuan Desert habitat. At the property, relax inside or outside or go for a hike around the rugged and scenic property. Wildlife and diverse desert plant life and abundant and varied.brbrbrbrMAIN CABIN:brbrThe living room and kitchen are open concept with lots of space and amazing views through large picture windows.

The famous Terlingua Ghost Town is just 40 minutes away. Both the Ghost Town and the Terlingua/Study Butte area offer shopping, dining, drinking, live music, art galleries, and more. Heading another 15 minutes west from Terlingua will take you to Lajitas for more upscale dining options, a few great shops, and the chance to meet Clay Henry, the beer drinking goat that happens to be the mayor. Big Bend Ranch State Park (the national park’s wild and rugged cousin) is right there as well.

Now, he’s eager to share it all with you.brbrbrbrGuest Access:brbrBoth houses and 65 private acres are exclusively yours.brbrbrbrInteraction with Guests:brbrWe manage several properties and live a few miles away.

La Paloma Triste: Classic Adobe Near Big Bend NP

Terlingua, Texas, United States

Summary:brLa Paloma Triste: Classic adobe vacation home. Minutes from Terlingua and Big Bend National Park.brbrThe Space:brStep back in time at this vintage Terlingua adobe. La Paloma Triste is an ideal escape from the madness of modern life. This is the quintessential Terlingua vacation home.brbrLa Paloma Triste (The Sad Dove) is a classic adobe home near Willow Spring and just minutes from Terlingua with excellent views of the Chisos Mountains and Willow Mountain. Built in the 80’s, with antique doors, windows, fixtures, and furnishings reclaimed from much older homes in Mexico and the Southwest, this cozy home blends modern conveniences with genuine rustic charm. Whether relaxing by the wood burning stove or enjoying the views from the porch swing, you’ll feel as if you stepped back in time to the pioneer days of the Wild West.brbrThere is plenty of room to relax with two bedrooms, a full kitchen, a large living room, one and a half bathrooms, a spacious porch and covered parking, not to mention forty private acres of pristine desert habitat. The main bedroom features a queen sized four poster bed, antique armoire, antique dresser and a private bath with a shower. The second bedroom has two walls full of windows with breathtaking views of the Chisos Mountains and nearby Bee Mountain. The living room has an antique wood burning stove (wood provided), rustic built-in shelves filled with artifacts and other items of local interests, and comfortable seating. The fully stocked kitchen has a new gas stove, antique sink, rustic shelving, and a classic pine and cedar table that was built by the owners. The large back porch has a porch swing for two with amazing views of the Chisos Mountains and Bee Mountain. The carport protects your vehicle from the west Texas sun and our infrequent storms. brbrOf course, the main attractions are outside. Take time to enjoy the solitude of the Chihuahuan desert and Willow Spring. The area around the house is landscaped with native plants, interesting rocks, and rusty pioneer artifacts that were collected over many years by the original owner. You will also want to visit Big Bend National Park, the Rio Grande River, Big Bend Ranch State Park, Terlingua Ghost Town, and our various restaurants and shops. If you don’t have time on this trip, you’re welcome to return again and again.brbrThe views of the night sky are beyond simple description. The Big Bend region has the darkest nights (lowest light pollution) of anywhere in the continental US. brbrAs the song says, “the stars at night are big and bright deep in the heart of Texas”. They’re even bigger and brighter here in the Bend. When the moon is out, you’ll be amazed at how bright and clear it shines. When the moon is not out, you’ll be stunned by the countless stars and the light and dark bands of the Milky Way. In the hour or two after sunset and before sunrise, you can often see the International Space Station and other satellites racing across the night sky. Shooting stars are visible throughout the year, especially during the Perseid and Geminid meteor showers.brbrCheck out “VisitBigBend.com” for suggestions of things to do and see during your stay. Explore the parks, raft the river, go horseback riding, take scenic drives, go mountain biking, visit the ghost town, eat out, enjoy the local nightlife including live music at several small venues, watch the wildlife, or just relax on the porch with your favorite book. Return home exhausted and inspired from endless adventures or well-rested and refreshed from escaping the rush of modern life. The choices are all yours. Regardless of your plans, La Paloma Triste (The Sad Dove) is an ideal home away from home for your visit the Big Bend.

Hot water, private entry through the bath house, and incredible views make this an experience you won't forget. brbrNote: While we are on septic, both of our showers are graywater that is used to feed trees and sometimes the birds will drink this water. For that reason we ask that you please use the bath products that we supply, so we keep the birds and trees happy and well! brbrGazer Point: Enjoy your own jaw dropping private scenic overlook with spectacular 360 views of Big Bend National Park and beyond. Outstanding stargazing opportunities from this overlook; one of the best views in the area - all to yourself! You can hike or drive to the turnaround spot. The overlook is leveled and has large boulders placed for seating; or bring your own chair and experience the view from anywhere.brbrGazer Trail: Lovely 1/2 mile meandering trail around the property; great for searching for flora and fauna. Fun morning coffee walk, evening margarita walk or just a ‘stretch out your legs’ walk. Gorgeous views and interesting terrain.
