My adult children had such a beautiful peaceful time. They did most of the exploration & hiking on the property itself! A true gem.

This was a great little place conveniently located by Big Bend National Park. It was only about 15 mins from the park entrance. This was a great bond base and had everything we needed. The scenery and stars at night were amazing. I would definitely recommend the home to anyone looking to visit the area!

Good location close to Big Bend. Beautiful property and well stocked. It was truly home away from home. Definitely recommend.

Great location. About 30 minutes to the park entrance. 15 minutes to Terlingua. Great porch where we could enjoy the sunrise and our morning coffee before hitting the trails at the park, and a cold beer when we got back. The views of the stars and the Milky Way at night was spectacular. Kitchen was well stocked though some new baking sheets and pans are recommended. A good cleaning under the sink (it’s gross down there) and remembering to dust the top of the refrigerator would have earned a higher cleanliness rating. We appreciated the condiments, garbage bags, soap, dishwasher tabs, and laundry detergent. Need to fix the top rack of the dishwasher. It falls off when you try to roll it out. The twin bed was too short for an adult, but the beds were otherwise comfortable. AC worked well. Janet and her son were great at communicating. We would gladly stay here again!

A group of 5 friends from Illinois and Arizona gathered to stargaze and enjoy the geology, birds, and other wildlife of the Big Bend area, and we found this to be a nice location to serve as our base camp. Well outfitted house; friendly and professional management.

The location of the house was great, mountains all around, short drive to Terlingua. The owners/ management were very responsive to my questions. The house was large and had everything we needed during our stay. Definitely recommending staying at the Laughing Horse property!

Easy access to parks, gorgeous spot.

This was exactly what we had hoped for! The house itself is clean but simple. Beautiful views. Really feels wild and isolated, but only a short easy drive to Terlingua (15min) and Big Bend National Park. Loved it.

This was our first trip to the Big Bend area and Laughing Horse Retreat made it very special. With early morning walks on the property and late night stargazing on the back deck bookending our days in Big Bend National Park, our entire family (from age 8 to 68) agreed that this was one of our best vacations ever! The solitude of the Christmas Mountains reminded us of how wonderful the sounds & sights of the desert can be.

Absolutely the best rental property we have ever stayed at. The property was even better than expected, and the owners are so welcoming during the entire process. Can't wait for our next stay at the Laughing House Ranch House

The house was comfortable, spotless and well equipped. The location was great because it’s a short drive to Terlingua and the parks. If you are looking for solitude surrounded by nature, this is the perfect place!

One of the best places to stay to explore Big Bend National Park, Big Bend State Park, and Terlingua. Drove in after an all-day hike in Guadalupe Mountains and directions were spot on. Everything we needed was supplied as advertised. Not giving 5 stars because the bed I slept on was quite lumpy and the whole place could use some updating. Loved the deck, the solitude, and the closeness to the parks. Met some others hiking the Lost Mine Trail that were staying in Alpine. I could not imagine having to drive more than an hour both ways to the National Park.

Very nice accommodations close to Big Bend NP! Beautiful views and an amazing night sky for stargazing. Close to the Ghost town in Terlingua and not a bad drive to Alpine for groceries. The home was cozy and had everything we needed!

This house is nestled in a little valley surrounded by big rocky hills and it was gorgeous!!! Only about a 15min drive to the BBNP entrance and about 15-20min from Terlingua Ghost Town with several restaurants (just don’t be in a hurry to eat because all places were busy and slow). However the house itself was perfect for us and we would definitely stay again! The house was very well surfaced cleaned and the beds were clean, it just needed a deep cleaning (coffee pot was awfully dirty, light fixtures were really dusty, behind things were dirty/dusty) but overall clean. The only downside is it is on well water so be sure to bring extra water (there is filtered water spout in kitchen but they really stress not to use much water while you are staying there) bring bags of ice as well so you don’t have to use the well water. The washing machine was really stinky but our clothes did not stink after washing. GPS does not work for a lot of places around there so definitely get a map! You can get a map of terlingua at the gas station down the road.

We come to Big Bend with our horses and ride the in the National Park; Laughing Horse Retreat is perfect for us! It has everything we need for us and our horses. Daryl and Janet are wonderful hosts; we will be back.
