Set into a mountainside with a beautiful vista to the east and a hammock for ease of stargazing. Loved the screened in porch and the front porch lined with Adirondack chairs for a relaxing evening after some treks through Big Bend. Really comfortable accommodations. The supply of drinking water and a well stocked kitchen was much appreciated too! Was a bit of distance from the Park but totally enjoyed our stay there. Watch out for the burros on the ranch road!

This place was beautiful, clean, we had everything we needed. The hosts checked in with us to make sure we had everything we needed. The views were amazing! We will be returning.

We were visiting from Michigan and stayed at Terlingua for 5 days and hiked at BBNP everyday. It was lovely coming back to the very comfortable house that had everything one would need! The night sky was a treat and the enclosed patio was great for night and early morning coffee! We had small issue with water which Darly took care of right away. He was on top with his communication. Thank you! PS: the mattress and pillows were the most comfortable that I have had at a rental! Thanks for a memorable visit to BBNP.

It’s so peaceful and restful. Beautiful views! Comfortable beds, well stocked and clean! Can’t wait to go back!

Awesome place to stay if you’re looking for some quiet. About a 45 minute drive to both state and national parks. Beautiful views, clean, quiet. This was our second time staying at this property this year, and both times were absolutely wonderful.

Our recent trip to visit out Son in Austin allowed us to visit this beautiful location. Big Bend had always been on my list of National Parks to visit but getting there was always the issue especially when you live in Maine. From my first interaction with Janet she was prompt with her responses to my questions and made me feel valued as a potential guest. I am so happy we decided to stay at this location for it allowed us to fully experience all this region has to offer. The home was exactly as described, the communication with Janet exceptional at check in, and we definitely will return. In fact, it was far better than I would have expected for seeing is believing. Wonderful to disconnect, understand the local culture, and appreciate once of the last frontiers in this country that I hope never changes.

Totally more than expected. Amazing views, peaceful, beautiful night sky, not far from Big Bend National Park.

We had a wonderful time. The property is great and secluded. We were able to relax on the porch and screened in patio where we ate most our meals. The space was great for my husband and I and would be great for a small family. We spent a lot of time in Big Bend and the drive to and from is very scenic. We would definitely come back again and stay at this location.

WE loved this house. It's got a great porch! Amazing View! wonderful. Its about 30 miles from the park, the only trouble. but worth it. one day we didn't even drive in, just stayed at this great place. Quiet. Peaceful. clean!

We had a wonderful long weekend staying in this house and hiking Big Bend. The house was perfect - comfortable, private, beautiful views, dark at night. We grilled and cooked each night, and the house was well stocked with everything you need. It is a little over an hour drive to the Chisos Basin hiking spots, so take that into consideration, but unless you are camping you are still going to be 30 minutes away and won't have the privacy and beautiful views that this house offers.

As a last minute trip to the Big Bend, this house was more than what we could have asked for. The host gave detailed and helpful directions on how to get to the secluded heaven, and the surrounding mountains and clear skies make it worth the drive. It was stocked with everything we needed for a long weekend, and our favorite spot to sit was the sunroom. Thanks again for having us!

We spent 4 nights at this location and enjoyed every moment. It was perfect for 2 couples looking for a quiet getaway. The house had a rustic feel with nice upgrades. We enjoyed a feeling of seclusion with town 35 mins away. The front porch and screened porch were wonderful for enjoying morning coffee and dinner. We utilized the fire pit one afternoon and had a blast. Despite the remote location, the WiFi was top-notch (though there was no reason to be on devices). If you are looking for a private, comfortable location, this is the spot. The owner communicated in a timely manner and was super-friendly. You can't go wrong staying here.

Beautiful sunrise. Beautiful starry nights. One with nature.

This was a lovely place. It is a bit of a drive from Terlingua but once there, it offered us a place of great respite. We especially loved the porch on the front of the house and the screen porch where we spent much of our time. The setting is beautiful. The owners were very responsive and we loved our experience here.

Absolutely beautiful scenery and the peace and quiet was amazing. We will be back

We had a very nice stay at The Getaway! The home is on the small side, but feels more spacious due to the high ceiling and the open layout of the kitchen, dining and living areas. We spent most of our time on the covered porch or on the screened dining porch. The breezes are amazing! NOTHING beats the night sky here! Turn off all lights to the house and the stars pop out. There’s even a telescope in the home for stargazing! Bring books or other things to keep you occupied in your downtime as there is no TV. One thing to keep in mind is power outages are possible and we experienced a 7-8 hour outage our first day. The home has non potable water from a rain catchment system and a pump moves the water to all faucets and the toilet. No electricity equals no lights OR water. Flashlights, food and drinking water are HIGHLY recommended. There is a propane grill that was nice to have during the outage. There is a drinking water dispenser in the kitchen, but again, it’s electric, so plan ahead. This home is 10 miles down Terlingua Ranch Rd, which was a negative for us, but may be a plus for others. Once on the highway, the trip to Terlingua and the Chisos Basin are a relatively easy trip. There was nothing to spray down the counters after cooking. We spilled water on the kitchen floor and when we wiped it up the paper towel was pretty dirty, so it could’ve been cleaner. There were spiderwebs, but I guess that’s to be expected in the desert. I knocked off a cleanliness star because of these things. All in all this is a great rental if you’re looking for seclusion, peace and quiet.

Stepping out of our comfort zone we booked this property. It was perfect! Everything was clean and exactly as listed. We didn’t have to bring anything which was even better! The grill was clean and full of propane. Plenty linens and a fully functioning and stocked kitchen. We hiked up the mountain behind our property. The night sky was gorgeous. Hearing the coyotes at night rounded out the desert experience. We even saw a javelina. Easy 45 min drive to Big Bend National Park and 35 min to Terlingua for our river trip. Made for an incredible family vacation.

Rental process was easy.. Informative emails sent about property access, directions, and departure. Would definitely recommend and rent from Daryl and Janete again!!

We really enjoyed our stay here. The property was just the perfect size for two adults and two dogs. We hung out in the front porch and watched the sky full of stars on the hammock. Half way between Alpine and Big Bend, great location.
