Great house, wish we could have stayed longer

We enjoyed our stay. The house is as pictured (the showers are industrial-style, but this was not a surprise). We ate at Spicewood Restaurant in Alpine when we stopped for groceries and really enjoyed it. Unfortunately and unrelated to our stay, our dog ran away and we had to end our trip early to drive home and look for him (we ended up finding him in a bayou!). The house has amazing wifi, which helped when I was posting all over to try to find him. It's also super convenient for entering Big Bend. We hope to return some day.

Perfect for our family of five in terligua

Terligua is a very unique place with lots of unusual housing. Our family of two adults and three teens was very thankful to find this very comfortable house with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. We had a hot water heater issue and the management had it solved within an hour. I'd definitely stay here again!

Perfect hideaway close to Terlingua

We were so close to Terlingua that we could even walk there if we didn’t feel like driving downtown, but far enough that you can have total peace and quiet. The sunsets from the front porch were spectacular and we saw so many stars at night…this perfect hideaway was just what we needed for our weekend getaway!

Big Bend Motorcycle Trip

This was the perfect property for our Big Bend Vacation. The road to the property is a little surprising as it just follows the natural terrain which is a little up and down. Any car will make it but it’s a little interesting with a long trailer. The home is a little austere but very clean and perfect for the setting in the West Texas desert. A couple of things to know: Terlingua is a dark sky friendly community so it is very dark in the area in general, makes it interesting when trying to find places at night including the Desert Sky Hideaway; water is scarce in the desert so the showers in the home are designed to conserve water. We would definitely stay here again.

Spectacular Sunrise Views

Clean, Secure, Spacious, Quiet, with unexpected amenities. Fuel, small grocery store, laundry-mat and auto service short drive to Study Butte. Host available to provide local assistance guidance if needed. Too many places and events to explore and experience during a short visit to the Big Bend Region. Will be returning. Kudos.
