Unique Dome with Great Desert Views in Terlingua, Texas

Sleep under the Milky Way in a hard-shell geodesic dome perched on a 100-foot volcanic hill in Terlingua, Texas, 11 minutes from Big Bend National Park. This is a private desert escape with a hexagon dome ceiling, a skylight over the bed, a vinyl record player and your own fire pit, under one of the darkest skies in the country.



INSIDE YOUR POD

• Memory-foam queen bed with a plush comforter and warm blankets

• Skylight and hexagon geodesic ceiling: stargaze straight from bed, or pull the curtains for privacy

• Vinyl record player

• Reclining first-class airliner seat facing the desert

• Air conditioning and heating, comfortable in August and in January

• Retro mini-fridge and prep corner

• Nebula star projector and colour-changing dome lighting

• Fast Starlink Wi-Fi that works inside the pod, a real workspace if you need one

• Children welcome



OUTSIDE YOUR DOOR

• Private patio with sweeping Big Bend and mountain views

• Your own fire pit right beside the dome

• Hammock and shaded lounge seating

• Shared grilling areas and a charcoal grill

• Desert trails from your door: meteor rocks, alien murals and hidden Easter eggs across the hill



BATHROOMS (PLEASE READ)

There is no bathroom inside the pod. Shared bathhouses are a short 2-minute walk (100–400 feet), with hot showers, indoor bathrooms at the top of the hill and outdoor ones at the bottom. We provide a towel, shampoo, conditioner and body wash.



LOCATION

On TX-118 in Terlingua: 11 minutes to Big Bend National Park, 5 minutes to Terlingua Ghost Town for restaurants, shops, mines, art, grocery and gas. Use Google Maps (Apple Maps gets lost out here). We're in an International Dark Sky area, so try to arrive before sunset on your first night and bring a flashlight.



WATER

Our well water is non-potable, so bring drinking water or grab some in town. Water is precious in the desert, so please keep showers short.
