We booked this wonderful home to check out Big Bend National Park, and really enjoyed this hidden gem in this small and remote ghost town of Terlingua. The house was clean and welcoming. The bed linens and towels were clean and really nice. The surrounding area was absolutely gorgeous. If you want to see the night sky, this is the place to see it, absolutely amazing. The people that ran it were responsive and wanted to make sure we were happy with everything. I would go back with my family in a heartbeat.

A great place to relax and unwind after a full day of enjoying nature

The house was great, as advertised, and clean. Sunsets were amazing with incredible view of mountains. Manager was very responsive to questions. Property is short drive to park entrance. Perfect for our family of 4.

My son and I were looking for a convenient location to Big Bend. This property is between Big Bend National Park and Big Bend Ranck State Park. convenient location for both. Also convenient to Star Light Theater in Ghost Town. This property added to our vacation enjoyment. Would definitely stay here again.

The listing and property were exactly as pictured and listed. Fantastic location, close to the park. The stars, sunrises and sunsets were amazing! This might become an annual trip!!

Great communication. The property was in great condition and just as promised. Well stocked with everything we needed.

Pat O's is wonderful--super clean, well stocked with everything needed, and very comfortable. Everything about it is top-notch! We enjoyed the information provided about the cabin's history, and our river guide for the Santa Elena Canyon float trip said he had been trained by Pat! This will be always be our first choice for lodging in the Big Bend area.

Great location, clean property and relaxing environment.

Didn’t realize it was a gravel road getting there. That info might have been helpful. Also the word “brew” was completely rubbed off the button on the coffee maker so I had to go online and find coffee maker directions. Realized the silver button with no words on it was the brew button. Maybe leave a sign saying how to brew the coffee with the missing words on the button. AC was loud so we wore earplugs at night for.sleeping. Otherwise, we were very happy with our stay. Great stocked kitchen. Good location.

Wonderful place to stay in the ghost town near Big Bend National Park. Best amenities of all the VRBOs we have stayed in. Shampoo, coffee and other stuff. Made life more civilized in the middle of nowhere. Well cleaned and maintained. One bedroom and pull out sofa makes it suitable for a couple and a child. Would not recommend for a large family. History of Pat O write-up in the shelf gave a great historical perspective on the place. Access is passable for any vehicle just be aware that it is a rough road. Nothing to be frightened of, just drive slowly and carefully. Wonderful view from a very peaceful front porch setting in the provided rocking chairs. A great place to spend some quiet time.

We enjoyed our stay at Pat O’s Place over Spring Break! The home had everything we needed—plenty of linens, toiletries, well-stocked kitchen, lots of storage hooks (these came in handy!) and we loved the property, as well. Our kids enjoyed hiking around and looking at the rocks. Thankfully the rattlesnakes were still hibernating so we didn’t come across any! We did get to hear a pack of coyotes come through the yard one night which was awesome! There was a TV in the house which it explicitly said in the listing that there was no TV, so that was a pleasant surprise for my kiddos in the evenings after a long day of hiking :) it was loaded up with all the streaming apps like Netflix and Disney+. The home is in a good location very close to Big Bend NP but my ONLY caution would be to drive EXTREMELY slow when you turn off the main road. I don’t think we were going over 10mph and unfortunately our minivan blew a tire as we were pulling up the drive. Thankfully a local man was able to patch the flat but my husband had to drive all the way to Alpine (1hr 15 mins each way) to get a new tire the next day. We lost a half day of our trip. This was to no fault of the owner, just want to caution other renters! It’s not a normal gravel road, there are some very big rocks thrown in the mix. Also—be sure to bring food because there aren’t many restaurants in town. The few we tried were not that great. The lodge restaurant in the National park was very good, though! All in all, I’d highly recommend a stay at Pat O’s Place and we will definitely stay here again if ever in Big Bend. Thanks to the hosts!

Loved the property. It was a very comfortable, well-supplied rental. The drive from the main road was questionable, but the quiet location made up for it. Would love to see a list of restaurants in the area on the table.

The adobe house is a tribute to Pat, who actualized his dream when he built this simple home. Attention has been paid to all the details which make one’s stay effortless. The morning and evening views of the Chisos mountain range, while rocking on the front porch, are the perfect way to begin and end the day. A best Vrbo experience.

Nice and homey. Very comfortable and well equipped home. We had a peaceful and enjoyable visit. Homes in the area had a nice distance between them. Very close to Big Bend and Terlingua ghost town. Highly recommend.

We always go to Big Bend in early December to get away from it all and this trip was what we needed. We have stayed at Pat O's in the past and were excited to get back. The home is clean, close access to Terlingua and BBNP, awesome firepit, and wonderful views of the Chisos and Mule Ears. We will be back! The owners have always been awesome to us, thank y'all!

We were impressed with how well equipped the house was; for example kitchen equipment/supplies and lots of blankets. One thing I didn't pick up on before arrival was that heating was accomplished via space heaters - they worked well but unfortunately the noise of them needing to run almost constantly overnight meant we couldn't hear coyotes if there were any. It wouldn't deter me from staying again, as the house was in an excellent location, very clean, and very thoughtfully stocked for travelers. Just think it's helpful to know.

We did not contact the property owner but did not need to. Lovely clean house with great views. We drove to Terlingua for dinner. I would not recommend walking due to some loose dogs on a nearby property and due to coyotes. Great trip. We appreciated the low water usage signs.

This home is great. Beautiful views and the night skies! Wow! The home is comfortable and has everything one needs. The different birds and coyotes sounding off at dusk was just the best! Wonderful firepit and close proximity to the Ghost town. The manager of the property is a great communicator and helpful. Great place to stay!

Loved the house!! Perfect location to get to the parks. Everything was so clean in the house and the kitchen was well stocked to cook with. Plenty of blankets to wrap in to star gaze at night. Loved the fire pit.

We spent a week at this wonderful, very clean and comfortable property. The kitchen and bathroom were well stocked with all paper products, coffee, tin foil, etc so no need to bring your own. The kitchen was great since there are limited local dining options depending on the day/time of year. Great location just off the main road with no close neighbors. The front porch was our favorite AM and PM spot with mountain views all around and stars at night. Excellent communication from property managers who checked in periodically to make sure everything was satisfactory. There is no washing machine unfortunately but there is a clothesline out back.

The place is really cozy. Night time was the best. There are no lights in the area so you can clearly see the stars and if you have the right camera you can take great photos of it. We loved the place overall and hope to return again!

Great little house, convenient to the park and Terlingua Ghost Town. Will definitely stay here again!

The place had everything we could need as our home away from home for a few days. However, a bit remote and the roads were very rustic. The place itself was great! And it was nice to get to know Pat O a bit from the information provided. The electricity did go out for about 4 hours on our last day so we decided to call it done and go home. Not anyone's fault and if we had stayed, it would have been on when we returned that afternoon but we are older adults, my husband 71 and me 60 so we were spent after two days of driving thru Big Bend area. It was beautiful there!

We had a wonderful time at Pat O’s place. It was very clean and charming. The front porch was amazing. We spent every morning drinking our coffee on this wonderful porch! We also had several thunderstorms during our stay, and it wonderful to witness on the covered porch!

It’s a perfect location to access Big Bend. You can sit on the porch at night stargazing but I ‘m not sure where the cool breeze comes from!!! Terlingua, TX is up the street with great food and people. We cooked our meals and packed lunches in the updated, full kitchen at Pat O’s. Great place for a couple and kids.

Pat O’s Place is located 20 minutes drive from Big Bend entrance. Close, but far enough away to give one a quiet and peaceful experience. It was clean, quiet, great stars at night while sitting around fire pit, AND conveniently located near a couple of great restaurants. We had an awesome time there!

This was the perfect place to stay to visit Big Bend! House was clean, well maintained, and stocked with anything you could need. The fire pit was super nice and the Adobe of the house kept it nice and cool. Just a warning that the raid to get to the house is very rough on a dirt road but don’t let them deter you, the house is worth it. It is short drives to Terlingua Ghost Town, Study Butte, and entrance to Big Bend. When we go back, we will definitely stay here again.

Pat O is a bit of a legend in the area. It was fantastic to stay at his place, which he built by hand in 1995. The location was perfect-- close enough to the few restaurants, national park entrance, etc, but also kind of isolated so we felt like we had our own little world. The stars at night were awesome, and the amenities were perfect for our family of four-- full size kitchen, big porch, fire ring. The place has character, yet everything was clean, modern, and functional. Only caveat would be that there is a privacy wall around the bedroom but no closed doors so if someone is noisy or wants to leave a light on at night can be an issue. Book this place now, you will not regret it! We hope we can go back someday.

We loved this quiet place to stay after hiking in Big Bend each day. There are long views from the large front porch where there are 4 comfortable rocking chairs. There is also fire pit. We hope to come back again.

My wife and I stayed here for a week and enjoyed the location, the porch and how well the kitchen was stocked as we cooked in quite a bit. We enjoyed the fire ring as well. This is a great place and we would stay here again.

This is a very comfortable well equipped house. Very quiet, no neighbors. Great front porch.

Our stay at this beautiful home was perfect! From the kids getting to run around outside again to the scenic view and the crisp fresh air. This home offers the get away from life’s daily grind and gets you back to nature. Yet has everything you could possibly need for daily creature comforts. Will definitely be back as soon as possible! Would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to leave the hustle and bustle behind for a while. Truly God’s country!
