Things Terlingua Nights Cabins don't mention on the various hotel websites:
* The water in the sinks and showers is NON-POTABLE. That’s right, you’re showering in water that is not safe to drink. And if you don’t want to brush your teeth with that water, you’ll have to pour bottled water over your toothbrush.
* Note (see picture) that on the tiny sheet notifying you that the water is unsafe, that detail is THIRD on the list, after “please conserve water” and “do not flush paper products.”
* If you’re in a cabin numbered from 1 to 5, your bathroom is in a separate building. Cabin 1 is next door, Cabin 5 is farthest away. There is no running water in the cabins. To be fair, the site I was on did mention that, ON THE THIRD PAGE OF FINE PRINT. The pictures at the top of the listing show a bathroom without mentioning it is not in the actual cabin. Rooms 6 to 9 do have a bathroom under the same roof, but remember, it is non-potable water.
* The pool: there actually is a pool, 32 MILES AWAY! It is at the Terlingua Nights LODGE, which according to my GPS is 32 miles and 41 minutes away from the cabins.
* Other details: no closets, no luggage stands, very little furniture at all.
If you’re okay paying hotel rates for what is actually rather low-end Glamping, then Terlingua Nights Cabins may be for you.
2 stars, for the walls and roof.
