House is beautiful and super clean with all the amenities - Gorgeous Sunrise views from inside and out side, great directions to the site, definitely need a vehicle with somewhat high clearance. Highly Recommend - will come back :)

Enjoyed greatly!!

I had the best time at Fossil Knob Ridge! The instructions were great and close enough to hike everyday in Big Bend National Park. As a single female staying alone, I felt very safe in the remote atmosphere. The property manager was extremely helpful on more than one occasion. I did have to work one afternoon, and the WiFi held up great. I cooked most meals at the house, but the local breakfast spot and bar were great too. I can’t wait to be back and bring my son!

Off the grid, but close to Terlingua ghost town with some cool restaurants and bars. The road up is rocky and bumpy, much better in a higher clearance vehicle. Great location for sunrises, sunsets, stars, and Big Bend State Parks for hiking and mountain biking.

Great hosts - we were able to seamlessly cancel our trip 2 years ago due to COVID restrictions. This year we rented Chisos and our friends rented 248. The location and accommodations exceeded our expectations. The view of the night sky and Milky Way were a highlight. We did not realize the property was part of the Dark Sky program with McDonald observatory until we went there; now we know why the outdoor lights are red!

We spent 4 wonderful days in Fossil Knob Ridge Chisos house. It's a very innovative, modern, clean rental place that offers everything you need for your stay. Property owners are easy to communicate with and easy to reach. Beautiful view of mountains, sunrise and dark sky to few the stars at night!

Location is fantastic and views incredible! Went for the skies at night and hiking. Absolutely worth the experience. Communication with property manager seamless.

The cabin is small, clean, and comfy. 1 bed and a couch sleeper. The couch is rough (hard) on an adult. The drive up the mountain to the cabin takes time and patience. You better have a truck or an SUV that can take the rough rocky road. But once you make it up, the views are amazing.

This is our 2nd time staying here, this is the only place we will stay when we visit the Big Bend area. The views are amazing and the house is very clean!!! We will be back!

My family and I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of staying at this property! The house was clean and modern and the views (the stars, the sunrise, the Chisos) were amazing! I've been a fan of Big Bend for many years now, but my wife had never been; however, thanks to these accommodations and the spectacular surroundings, she's a fan now too!

This is a fun, quiet, comfortable place to stay right between the National and State Parks and enjoy Terlingua. The night sky is beautiful, and we loved the patio and outdoor amenities. Plus the kitchen was great to make all of our meals. The bed was dreamy and we loved all the comforts of home in the unique container home. Loved it all!

Super cool container home.!!Great sunrise and sunset views!!

We enjoyed this space greatly. You can see Mule Ears while sitting on the couch! Hope to be back soon.

Super cool container home.!! Great sunrise and sunset views!!

We loved the beautiful, well designed home made from shipping containers. The home was beautiful and took full advantage of a spectacular view with full length windows the length of the house. The kitchen, living area, bedroom and bathroom well artfully decorated, clean and well maintained. The outside has a gorgeous view with a nice fire ring, grill and comfortable seating. A wonderful place to sit by the fire and watch a million stars come out at night. This is a great place to stay. We will definitely return.

The view of Big Bend and the Chisos Mountains from the front of this property was amazing! We got to see the sunrise every morning and it was spectacular! The location was great in terms of being close to Big Bend. The 1.5 mile drive up to the house takes time as the road is quite bumpy and we were glad they encouraged driving a high clearance vehicle. The property manager was helpful and responsive.

This property was exactly as advertised - there were no surprises whatsoever. The owners were great about communicating up front, and were extremely flexible about accommodating potential changes to travel due to COVID restrictions on the nearby Big Bend National Park a month out. The location is perfect -- close enough to the park that it's an easy drive in for day hikes, but remote enough that you're not dealing with lots of noise and light pollution, which is particularly welcomed amidst the big, beautiful dark skies out there. We loved it so much, we booked a return trip before the first one was over!

I cannot say enough good things about our stay - what a cool setup. This was our 2nd time to the Big Bend area - Fossil Knob Ridge made this visit a special visit. It was quite apparent that the owners invested a piece of themselves when completing their project - you can feel their heart and soul in the place. If you get the chance - stay here while visiting Big Bend.

Fun location at top of ridge in Terlingua. Well appointed with everything you need for a day of adventure and evenings to relax. Plenty of privacy and great vistas from all sides. Dark night skies really show off the stars but you'll have to stay up until at least 10pm to allow darkness to really settle in. Then get ready for a show.

We had a wonderful time during the 4th of July with beautiful views.

This property exceeded our expectations in just about every way! Amazing view facing Big Bend National Park, plenty of room to relax, and very accessible to Terlingua and the surrounding areas. The owners were very responsive and availed themselves to any questions we had as well as provided some very helpful recommendations for the drive down and activities around the area. The only other thing we wanted to mention was the closeness of the other FKR property next door (it sits about 20ish yards next door). There was a group of three staying next to the two of us and we would occasionally hear them moving around, laughing, coming/going from the property, etc. Not really a huge deal for us, but something to note for people seeking a completely remote experience with no other 'people' distractions. We definitely hope to return again to FKR! It really made our Big Bend trip a special memory.

Our stay was great, everything as expected! The view is breathtaking! WiFi is impressive! Found the rental to be well equipped! Loved sitting out on the porch and using the fire pit at night! The road up to the unit was not that difficult...just follow the directions! Happy to say we found the containers to be a comfy, cozy little niche in Terlingua!

Very comfortable accommodations with everything you need for a relaxing time. The views are spectacular especially at sun rise and sunset! Come in a truck or SUV. Plan to drive up your first time in daylight! After the first drive up it is much easier!

Wonderful stay. Access is best with a high clearance vehicle. Remote but gorgeous views and pretty good access to Big Bend. Nights were magical and we enjoyed coffee in bed watching the mystical sunrise each morning.. perfect escape.

We really enjoyed our stay here. The accommodations were perfect for our young family of four.

I have been coming to Big Bend on a regular basis for over 20 years. We have stayed at the Mountain Lodge, various hotels in Terlingua, and camped. Fossil Knob Ridge was by far the best accommodations we've had. The view from the main house of the Chisos Mountains is spectacular! They have all the amenities you need. Very comfortable and well appointed. The pictures on their site don't lie, it's as nice as it looks!

We loved our stay at Fossil Knob. It was the best! I loved the view and house. It was so quiet, a great place to escape. I will definitely go back as soon as I can.

An amazing experience. We loved being off the map. It was too cloudy for stars but the views from the house were phenomenal. Enjoyed the outdoor living space and the modern comforts inside. Easy access to Big Bend. Just make sure you are comfortable driving on gravel roads in mountainous terrain! We drove in after dark - I had no idea how steep the drop offs were until we came back down the next morning! Hope to come back.

Fossil Knob Ridge proved to be everything we expected. The accommodations were comfortable and the privacy and views much appreciated. Very unique and fully functional.

Could not have been nicer. We loved touring around and coming back to our beatuiful, clean, relaxing retreat each night.

The property is exactly as represented in the listing - and is a perfectly comfortable oasis to retire to at the end of the day. Comfy furnishings and well appointed - we weren't needing a thing! There was nothing better at the end of a day of exploring, than to sit by the firepit with a glass of wine and wonder at the stars and the Milky Way! Perfect in every way!

We had a wonderful stay at Fossil Knob Ridge! We needed a place to stay for a few days after camping in BBNP and it had everything we needed/wanted to make our stay comfortable. The view is absolutely beautiful (a perfect view of Mule Ears and the Chisos) and we loved the location, close enough for dinner at the Starlight but far enough away that you felt completely isolated. Seeing the milky way at night was breathtaking! We are already planning our next visit!
