About this house rental

This is one of the very few nightly rentals that provides an automatic backup generator in the event of power outage to south Brewster County.

Bring your camera and get ready to relax! Drive or Fly-in! The choice is yours.

We take great pains to insure that our facility is sanitized and disinfected as much as possible between visiting guests.

This is a 107 acre property full of wildlife, cactus, birds and hiking. This is a NON-smoking and No Pet rental. There is a $250 fee for violation of either of these policies. This property is accessible by car (the last 3 miles is a well maintained gravel road). The RV is a 34' 2018 Jayco Eagle Series bumper pull with two queen beds. This RV is equipped with huge flat screen TV, wifi, bluetooth stereo, double-door refrig/freezer, oven, range, outdoor gas grill, a gas griddle and a wood fired barbque pit with mesquite provided. This also comes equipped with 2 factory A/Cs and central heat, coffee pot with timer and a counter top icemaker. You will also find on-site a large charcoal/wood bar-b-q pit and lots of mesquite wood to cook with.

Also at the disposal of the customer is a 10'x 45' covered wooden deck with chairs and a ceiling mounted mister system for hot summer days. Beautiful views of Bell Mountain, White Horse Mtn and the Christmas Mtns can all be seen from this vantage point, none more than a mile and a half from the porch. This deck is also equipped with five 8' roll down screens for additional comfort from extreme heat. Of course there is a propane gas fire pit and a Chiminea with ample pinion pine firewood for cold winter days and nights. Enjoy the viewing of scaled quail, eurasian and white winged doves, mule deer, javelina, fox, coyote, ravens and red-tailed hawks. Blackbear, mountain lions and bobcats have also been seen close to the house. Absolutely no hunting or discharge of firearms is allowed. This home is completely dependant on rainfall. We request that all visitors limit their water consumption. These quarters come with a 6 gallon water heater which helps reduce long showers. Due to the various types of wildlife in the area and customer allergies, we have a no pet policy that is strictly enforced. There is also a $250 fee for violation of this policy.

There is a home on-site which is the owners private residence and customers are not permitted with it's use. If you Fly-in, we can arrange to have you picked up and provide you a 6-person UTV for rental if requested.

Area attractions include but are not limited to: Big Bend National Park (with access to a rowboat ride into Old Mexico for lunch and shopping), Big Bend Ranch State Park, Terlingua Ghostown, Lajitas Golf Resort, a beautiful River Road trip along the Rio Grande to Presidio, TX, chartered rafting down the Rio Grande through Santa Elena Canyon or Boquillas Canyon, and dinner at the Starlight Theatre in the ghostown. You are welcome to bring your own mountain bikes, ATV’s or UTV’S and ride out right from your front door. This property is a scenic 40 minute drive from the National Park.

Closer to home (1/2mile south) , you will find the Terlingua Ranch Headquarters office open 7 days a week, along with a cabana and bath house at the swimming pool. The ranch headquarters area also has a 7 day a week/ 3 meals a day café known as "The Bad Rabbit". There is also a laundromat located very close to the mgmt. office where they also sell bagged ice, logo T-shirts, wine glasses, caps and koozies.

If you are fortunate enough to have owners Mark and Michelle there on a visit at the time of your stay, you will surely benefit from their knowledge of the area and their ability (price negotiable) to take you on a UTV guided tour of more of the unknown areas of the 225,000 acre Terlingua Ranch.

There is a 10%discount on the nightly rate for Veterans. Copy of military ID card required. Call Mark at 806-781-7814, please leave a message.

If you’re looking for somewhere to stay that feels like an extension of the desert oasis you came for, this is it! We enjoyed a comfortable, clean, private, peaceful stay in the desert filled with mountain views, active wildlife, and close accessibility to Big Bend without sacrificing anything. The host is very accommodating and helpful.

My wife and I wanted to enjoy the area near Terlingua and the Big Bend National Park. Mark and Michelle made the trip a fantastic success. They made sure we understood how to get to the property and the property was more than we expected. The area around this part of Texas is not heavily populated and with Mark and Michelle's help are trip was fantastic.

My wife and I had a great stay. The hosts were fantastic and the 2BR apartment was very roomy and felt like a home away from home. We traveled each day to Big Bend N.P. for hiking, and ate dinner in town. We ate breakfast each morning at the Bad Rabbit Cafe, and it was excellent each day (can be a bit slow when crowded, but it's worth it). The hot tub was also a nice way to end a long day of hiking. My only comment is to be aware that it's about an hour drive to get to Big Bend hiking each day, including a 2 mile drive on a dirt road. Because of this, we went straight from hiking to dinner each night, rather than going back to the apartment to clean up. Every place to eat in town is super-casual, so it worked out fine that we went to dinner a bit trail worn and dusty.

The property is spectacular! The scenery, sunrises, sunsets, and the night sky are all beautiful. Lots of wildlife around during the evenings. Hot tub is a great way to relax after a day of hiking at Big Bend. Mark and Michelle were wonderful hosts, so friendly and helpful. RV has everything needed, including some handy extras (ziploc bags, tupperware, etc.) that you may not have as a traveler. Property is remote, about 45 minutes from Big Bend entrance, but a little extra driving is worth it.

We loved our time at Mark and Michelle's property, way out in the Texas Backcountry. Our kids rated the RV the best spot we stayed on our vacation. We saw a gray desert fox, herds of deer, jackrabbit, and other local animals during our stay. Our hosts were wonderful and went out of their way to help us have a great time. It is roughly a 45-minute drive from terlingua Ghost Town, but its remoteness is what makes it so unique and memorable. We hope we'll get to visit again someday!
