Great place to stay! Very well maintained, secluded and clean cabin and property. Check in and out was easy. Had a question and property manager responded quickly. We loved it so much we stayed an extra night. The beds were comfortable. The kitchen well stocked with everything imaginable. Plenty of towels, bed linens pillows and blankets.The sunrise and sunsets were gorgeous. You are literally surrounded by mountains. You are close to restaurants and there is one small store. Big Bend National Park is only about 10 minutes away. The road to the cabin is rough but if you drive slowly it's not too bad. We have a Kia Cadenza. Don't know how hard it would have been if it was raining for days. Looking forward to a return visit.

Beautiful views from this Big Bend base camp
The house exceeded our expectations. The beds were very comfortable with higher quality sheets than many VRBO provide. The split system had no trouble keeping us comfy cool when the temps were in the mid-90's and tended to not be needed at night. Everything was clean. Everything we needed was there, from toiletries to laundry pods to drinking water. The grill was clean and ready to use. The directions to the house were spot on, and as long as we took it really slow, the roads did not cause any problems for our rent-a-wreck Corolla. We would not have been confident about traveling with that car on those roads after dark, but luckily there was never a reason to. Star gazing and TV kept us at the house after a day of hiking at Big Bend anyway! It took us roughly an hour to get from the house to visitor centers at Panther Junction, Chisos Basin and Castelon, and another 15 minutes further to Rio Grande VC. The park is huge. But the best part was the spectacular view of the Chisos from the front outdoor seating area. Each morning, I'd settle into one of the patio chairs with a pot of coffee and watch the sunrise paint the sky and mountains in an everchanging display of color and light. Truly magical.

Grandios Vistas
Our party had four adults. We spent the majority of our time in surrounding Big Bend/Lajaitas region. Mesmerized by the beautiful skylines changing color from hour to hour throughout the day. The evening hours at the property, that sits on top of the hill, afforded us blazing sunsets and glorious sunrise’s. The property is close enough to Terlingua to eat at local restaurants and be back in a matter of minutes. We especially enjoyed the “Star Light” restaurant. We shopped at the local store as we waited for our table. We explored the old Terlingua cemetery, drove from Boquillas to Santa Elena and numerous spots in between. We especially liked the newly opened fossil exibit south of Panther Junction on the Marathon highway. The beds were comfortable, extra blankets and pillows were available, plenty of towels, toiletries, paper products and bottled water. The entire house is off grid with solar panels, rain water reclamation tanks and a propane generator for backup on property. Smart TV, Wi-Fi worked great too… surprisingly we had several ’bars’ of ATT cell coverage. As former mid eighties students of SRSU, we were taken aback to witness the growth of this area since then. TWO different gas station in THE NATIONAL PARK! Our truck loved the dirt road adventures in and out of the park. Traveling the dirt road to the house, to locate road signage requires everyone’s attention & eyes to see/read & negociate 1 hairpin turn. Fun Terlingua living…Big Bend Gods country!!

Wonderful place to stay
We stayed here in March 2023 during Spring Break to visit Big Bend NP. The location enabled us to sleep well and still get to the park early enough to hike Emory Peak and for extensive visits on other days. When we got the check in information we learned that the tap water is not potable because it's recycled rain water. Plenty of bottled water was supplied by the host so that was not an issue. The hosts' explanation of the system was educational and inspiring. I would've liked to know about the water before committing to the place, but over all everything worked out fine.

Far away yet close to what you need
This place is very secluded and we enjoyed viewing the sunrise and night sky from the home (and not having to drive a distance to get away from light pollution). Good location to get to Big Bend and also local restaurants. The road to get to the home is challenging but okay if you take it slow in a non-low clearance vehicle. Water limits require some adjustment but house provided what we needed. We enjoyed our stay and are glad we made the long trip out to the Big Bend area. Thanks for sharing the home with us.

This was a very nice home, plenty roomy for 4. Beautiful views. Only downside is road to property is rocky but we had an suv and just had to go slow. Owner gave us details about roads and directions so we were aware of rocky roads.Also drive into Big Bend National Park is a distance probably 45 min, however we knew this coming here.There isn’t lodging much closer to park. Ghost town Terlingua is nice place to go visit, shop a little and eat out. Loved High Sierra restaurant. Only about 10-15 minute drive into town from property. Would recommend this property to anyone will definitely want to return again .

Love so enjoyed our stay in Terlingua Sky. Perfect name. I only gave 4 stars for accuracy of discrription because they don't list all the amenities. There's a covered patio all around the house so you stay in the sun or avoid the wind. There are charcoal grill and a fire pit. Great private location.

Incredible property
This place is better than described. I’ve never seen a “rental” so nicely decorated. The kitchen is fully stocked, beds both very comfortable, bathrooms not only very functional but beautiful. Lots of space to unpack - closet and drawer space. Great outdoor area too and wait until you see the stars at night. The road is as described and slow going but it’s still only about five minutes from main road where you are very close to restaurants and bars and of course the National Park. Stay here, you won’t regret it!

Nice house with great views
The house is secluded (no nearby neighbors) on a hillside with an excellent view of the multiple mountain ranges. Sunset glow on the mountains is amazing. Nice front porch with a table for dining outside. House is elevated above Terlingua and Study Butte. Furniture was relaxing and functional. Plenty of cooking supplies and good appliances. Wifi was good. Bed was comfy. I will likely rent this house again in the future. Communications with Janet were great. She was quick to reply to emails. A few minor issues: shower/bathtub drain is slow, no instructions on how to use gas heater (I figured it out). Access note: dirt road to house requires decent vehicle clearance (not for Porsches, Corvettes, McLarens, GT350/500s)...I bottomed out my Porsche 911 multiple times and had to remove small boulders from the road. My Audi S5 would've been fine. Shortest and smoothest route is 1.9 mi of dirt road. Most cars will do fine, just not low-clearance sports cars.

Dark Skies & Privacy!
Exactly what we were looking for. This property is off the grid, so there are solar panels & rain containers, along with a generator. The photos don't do this place justice. Very nice & comfy. We had issues with the kitchen lights turning off with the a/c running, but that's to be expected. (We cooked by lanterns). Beds were comfy & lots of room to set up our telescopes & cameras to view the stars. Would definitely stay here again.

A solar system that works well! The A/C worked very well, surprisingly! Well appointed kitchen, without a dishwasher, but its solar. Bathroom doors are not solid, more like a fence. Overall though, a good experience, better than most in the desert.

This home on the mountain was just perfect. The place was nicely set up and fit our needs. It is remote, but so quiet and relaxing to watch the sun rise and set. It was hot already, but the low humidity helped. Great place to unwind after exploring the area for the day.
