"Overall, I felt like the listing was fairly accurately represented. It was cozy in a remote sort of way. The beds were comfortable and the water was warm. The purified drinking water they provided tasted great and they had a decent assortment or pots/pans. There was salt/pepper, but no other spices/seasonings. Their fridge/freezer was full-sized. The freezer doesn't get super cold, and there's a few ice trays. So, I'd highly recommend bringing a cooler with a bag of ice. We didn't need to use the heaters or AC units, so I can't comment on those. But the lights, fans, wifi, and other devices worked. I will say that it's a little worn down. Screens have holes. Toilet might need a little work, utensils and kitchen supplies are old, screen door wobbles, wind whistles through all the windows day and night. And there were definitely daily spider/critter sightings. So, if none of that bothers you, this could absolutely be a charming space for you!The rocky road to get to the place is definitely passable, but we were glad to have an SUV. Some of the access instructions should be reviewed and updated. There is now a road sign for the dirt road. The only other thing I'll mention is how far it is from Big Bend. The park is remote in general, but we drove a solid 1.5 hours daily just to get to any trailhead. But they're about 30mins from a town/gas station. Overall positive review."
Crystal Mountain Cabin: Custom Built 2019. Relax in Seclusion.
10/10 Excellent
"This is, hands down, my favorite VRBO in which I have ever stayed. You cannot beat this view. The stars are absolutely incredible and you can watch them while sitting around a campfire. And that's if you don't want to take a micro-hike to a star viewing platform. We opted to spend a day at the house relaxing rather than heading back into the park. We read, painted, and watched the colors change on Crystal Mountain as the day progressed. And the silence is as golden as the sunlight that paints the mountains.We have stayed with this host before and had a great experience. They are responsive to inquiries. The kitchen is exceptionally well stocked--use those nice Corksicles with lids that they thoughtfully provide to keep the flies out of your tequila!May your visit here have the stars shining as strongly as they did for us (book in a new moon, a full moon washes them out!), and may you also have a gorgeous sunset and sunrise.
