Overall, the place was ok. We did have an ant problem which in the desert can be. Contacted Daryl and he sent someone over. But it didn't take care of the problem. We finally got some spray and sprayed the front area where they were coming in. Also you could tell there had been a problem. Upon further investagation, we found dead ants in corners of other parts of the house. So that tells me the floors weren't swept before we arrived. Beware tho, there are window units for AC. The one in the living room was extremely noisy. The kitchen was very well equiped with dishes, pans etc. Not much for spices except for salt & pepper. If you need plastic wrap, aluminum foil, bring some. It isn't provided. The deck was nice and enjoyed sitting out there eating breakfast. Even when it got dark, you could watch & gaze at the stars. I did let Daryl know my complaints, so this review shouldn't be new to him. Overall as a family, we discussed the whole situation and said we would stay again.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The house is a bit dated inside, but beds were clean and comfy, the kitchen had all we needed, and the creek was really enjoyable. My 7yr thought it was a perfect spot for us. My husband and i enjoyed the porch overlooking the creek and the stars at night.

We had great experience with communicating with the owner and the check process was on point. The location was a bit interesting but the hills and creek view was nice. The place could use a bit of updating but not bad at all.

as advertised!

Had a great trip. Owners very helpful

This property is in a great location for visiting Big Bend - only about 10 minutes from the entrance to the park. It is also about 5 minutes away from the Terlingua Ghost Town. The house is rustic, but clean and comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped and there were plenty of bath towels and extra blankets. The back porch has great views of the sunset!

We enjoyed our stay here while hiking Big Bend.

My colleague and I were in town for a training that was held at Far Flung Outdoor Center. The Porch House provided the perfect home away from home during our week long stay. It was perfectly situated and less than a 5 minute drive to the Center. We were also very close to the grocery store and various restaurants in the area. The house was clean and cozy and the managers checked in regularly by email to ensure we were comfortable. I would definitely recommend this location to others planning a stay in the Terlingua area, and would stay here again if I make it back to the area.

This well appointed rustic property is close to everything and short drive to the entrance of the national park. There are not many homes of this size available for rent in Terlingua. It is very clean, has everything you need, comfortable beds and a fire pit. I highly recommend this property for small families and anyone needing a little exra space not looking for a glamping experience.

Clean and cozy, at the best location outside of Big Bend National Park - just 10 minutes from the west entrance. And maybe 20 minutes from Big Bend State Park. Near the Ghost Town, restaurants, gas station, general store...just a great location!

This property was a good fit for two couples. In warmer weather it would have been great to sit out on the porch and watch the sun set. We made good use of the kitchen and it was the center of activity. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

Nice location, well stocked kitchen

We enjoyed our stay. Very convenient to BBNP and state park. Please note air conditioning is window units and heating is space heaters.

It was provided with everything we needed for a trip to the Big Bend area.

Location of Porch House was ideal. We played golf in Lajitas, ate dinner in Terlingua, and 2 day trips to Big Bend. Enjoyed morning and evening time on porch. Accommodations were very adequate. Perfect for a guys trip. Thanks!

This property has just about everything you need when you visit Big Bend NP. It is clean, comfortable and has, as the name might suggest, a very nice outdoor porch. It is rustic, but very comfortable.

My daughter’s wedding was at Willow House which right up to street (Hwy 170.). My son, daughter and spouse stayed here. Additional family stayed in an RV park and we’re able to join us at this location for dinner and sunset. It is a beautiful location. Sun rises in the front and sets in the back. Just gorgeous every day. Recommend arriving before sundown as it was a little tricky to find in the dark.

Great property! This was our 2nd time in Terlingua; we needed a bigger space to share with friends. The house had everything you needed including to cook etc and a great location super close to everything including both state and national parks. Finding the property, and the road in was really great for the desert. Our friends had the master bedroom which looked spacious and comfortable. The 2nd bedroom had 2 beds which made a lot of noise when you moved and we’re not comfortable (bring your own pillow!) but linens were very clean. Property management was very service driven. They gave enough details to make you feel supported in the stay and quickly responded when needed. Overall would highly recommend and would definitely book again.

Easy…good communication with owner

This property makes for a great base camp for a visit to Big Bend National Park. The house is well equipped with all the essentials. Great porch overlooking the creek.

The porch overlooking the creek was fabulous for spending time with friends and birding.

The Terlingua Creek Porch House was a perfect. base camp for a group of us to ride motorcycles throughout Terlingua & Big Bend. The was exactly as advertised and met all of our expectations. Thank you Daryl & Janet!
