What's nearby

  • The Closed Canyon hike in Big Bend Ranch State Park was completely deserted when we went on a Tuesday in April. We hiked further than the 0.7 mile indicated on the signage, and ended up scooting and scrambling up the most interesting narrow and smooth chutes. We heard the song of the elusive canyon wren, too. Amazing. Visit our blog post to hear it and see more! https://rvluckyorwhat.com/2016/04/28/big-bend-the-most-amazing-national-park-youve-never-heard-of/ #hiking #bigbend #Texas #statepark #canyon #wren #bird #nature #geology

  • The Rio Grande River winds 12 miles down Santa Elena Canyon in Big Bend National Park, Texas. When the water is high you can come down the 1,500 foot walled canyon. With less water flowing, guides take you 3 to 4 miles up the canyon with some spots having to portage. But take it all in stride because the views are breathtaking. I recommend Big Bend River Tours. You might get lucky and have the guides that take you a half mile up a side canyon. An excellent day excursion in the out of the way national park.

Perfect Stay

Staying at the StarGazer was amazing! The property was clean and well stocked. We loved sitting on the deck to stargaze and enjoy the view of the national park. We would definitely stay here again!

Nice place to relax

We enjoyed the clean and updated rental, especially the outdoor deck and kitchen. It is close to Big Bend NP yet isolated enough for quiet privacy. Great responsive hosts. Would definitely stay there again.

This is a real gem. It offers natural aesthetic beauty, right next to Big Bend NP. Having an EV charger makes travel in the vast distances in the region in an EV work really well. The spaces are well-designed and comfortable to stay in.

Gorgeous views

This is our first time to Big Bend and we were amazed by the beauty of the area. We were equally amazed at the beauty of the Big Bend Stargazer property. The airstream is well equipped and the beds were quite comfy. We absolutely loved the outside deck, bath house and kitchen and spent most of our time on the deck taking in the views and stargazing. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful property.

Star gazer

Awesome, private, secluded, close to both big bend national park and big bend ranch state park. Would defintely do it again. Only thing to change is the double twin xl's to a queen or king. Beds were comfortable but would rather have one bed. Loved terlingua and surrounding beauty.

Wow, just wow!

Rarely does anything, any place or anyone OVER-deliver on a promise but the Star Gazer does. The deck cooking area and banos with showers inside and out were my favorite part. The Airstream itself is cozy and clean and the expansive view was life affirming. We had one tiny problem when we arrived but the host picked up our call and quickly talked us through it. I’m giving five stars only because I can’t give 6.

What more could you need

The very best stay I have experienced. Big Bend has many great things to see and experience. Star Gazer and the property are just as incredible. The Star Gazer and surrounding property were amazing both during the day and at night. The stars at night were something I have never experienced in my 60 years of life. I took three days of lukewarm showers before I reached out to Daryl and within three minutes I had hot water. My old bones are still thanking Daryl for telling me how to restart the water heater!!!! Star Gazer and the deck is the perfect place to get away. It offers a home to relax after a day of hiking/biking. I read three books on the deck and in the surrounding relaxing stations provided at Star Gazer. Perfect place if you looking to recharge and slow down. I will be back with my family.

Beautiful, unobstructed views

This property is in an amazing location with clear, unobstructed views. No telephone lines or buildings in the way! There are multiple areas to hang out and stargaze or take in the sunset. The property has a really nice toilet/shower setup and all kitchen supplies we needed. The deck is a really nice add-on! In a harsh desert environment, some maintenance issues can be expected. Nonetheless, the property managers were quick to respond and resolve. They took our concerns seriously and worked quickly to find a resolution. We really appreciated their willingness to work with us so that we could continue to enjoy our vacation. The property was amazing and we would love to stay there again.

Stellar!!

We stayed for a week and absolutely loved it! It has easy access to both Big Bend National Park and Big Bend Ranch State Park. It is also close enough to Terlingua to be convenient, but far enough away to feel like you are in the middle of nowhere. The Airstream is well equipped and the outdoor space, where we spent most of our time, is spectacular. We did the majority of our cooking there. The view over BBNP is breathtaking, especially at sunrise and sunset. And the bath house....wow! I highly recommend using the outdoor shower, and you will never have a better view from the toilet anywhere else. The stargazing area is great and has a small charcoal grill and a nice picnic table. There are also several little trails throughout the property to wander around on. I truly can't recommend Stargazer enough. Add an extra day or two to what you think you need because I guarantee you will want some extra time there just to hang out and enjoy the property.

Enchanted!

Terlingua offers countless options to stay but none offer what StarGazer gifted us. The design of StarGazer was done by someone with an intimate appreciation of the terrain and its gifts. Not a detail was missed. A full panorama of The Chisos Mountains, Mule Ear Peak, the opening of Santa Elena Canyon and the Full Hunter's Moon fed our camera with breathtaking captures. The Windstream was ample, cold in July, and appointed with most everything you would need. We cooked outside, showered outside, and reflected. The shade never once exposed us to the punishing sun.The view from the toilet gave new perspective in "relieving" oneself. Wifi was powerful, lighting perfect, and all appointments worthy of a 4 star resort. Most striking was the deafening silence, no neighbors and like no other place, there was NOTHING but unadulterated landscape in front of us. As we walked the paths we began searching for near dates to return. If you are in love with the Big Bend area and need a moonburn or awestruck celestial chorus, you STAY HERE! Thank you for this timeless moment of connection with origin.

If your looking to get away from it all - and everyone - and you wished to visit Terlingua, Big Bend , the Chihuahuan desert, Lajitas, and Presido…. This is the spot. I had looked at 3-5 other spots. I saw those places on this trip. Research pays off. The Stargazer is off to itself. Quiet. Peaceful solitude. The views and sunrise/sunsets are second to none . Excellent hosts. Felt very taken care of.

Big Bend Experience!!

Extremely well done for an RV camp!! Oh that star lit night sky was breath taking!! My daughter & I could have stayed there a week. She only had a 4 day weekend that had to be cut short due to the weather. If the opportunity ever comes around for another excursion to Big Bend we’ll check to see if the Star Gazer is available. Awesome place!!!

Big Bend Getaway

This was the best VRBO we have ever stayed in. We wanted a a little getaway in the Big Bend area. This was the perfect location. Close enough to Terlingua but far enough out you felt completely alone. The amenities and setup of the StarGazer are more than perfect. My wife was proud to say she has now been "glamping", but in reality, this place was better than many high end hotels I have stayed in. Too many amenities to list. If we go back , we will definitely stay here.

Best of Terlingua

Spacious and comfortable outdoor space with full kitchen plus comfortable airstream camper for sleeping or if you need a break from the heat. Although the facility is relatively close to the road, the living space is directed toward a spectacular and otherwise empty view of the desert landscape. And the stars! On the far side of the deck is a spa like separate bathroom with an outdoor shower. For our trip the weather was perfect so we were able to really enjoy all the outdoor living space. The only minor drawback for a couple was the twin beds in the Airstream. Was a spectacular facility and would stay again for sure!

Wind, wind, wind!

Great property, but the weather definitely did not cooperate so we never got to use the outdoor deck or outdoor shower. Clouds the entire time so never saw stars. Wind was cold and brutal! I know the weather can’t be controlled, but we were very disappointed since the entire reason we stayed there was to enjoy the outdoors.

An amazing place to experience

My husband and I loved everything about our stay at the StarGazer. As others have stated, the description about the property and photos are 100% spot on. It is very well supplied and stocked with supplies and incidentals which help make the stay that much more stress free. The highlight is the outdoor space. Want to sit and eat at a proper table? Got it. How about an outdoor couch? Yep. Gas firepit with comfy chairs? Of course. The property is quiet and serene with a small hiking path in the back for exploring the grounds. Overall, a simply lovely place to base camp for exploring the awesomeness of the Big Bend.
