Off-grid Cabin and Camping This is a romantic studio style cabin/house with a lofted bedroom in the second floor peek of the a-frame. This house offers privacy and solitude being that it is on a 20 acre piece of land on Terlingua Ranch with beautiful 360 degree views of the Christmas Mountains and Nine Point Mesa. I built this house as a creative space to make music and enjoy the Big Bend Region. The beautiful wooden porch with hammock and outdoor couch is great for watching sunsets. Outside cats are Franky/Chaco/Capitan. The space This is a beautiful but rustic place. It has daytime air conditioning. The house has running water collected from the rare desert rains. It has a 2 burner Coleman propane stove, wifi, landline, bluetooth speakers, sink, pots, pans and dish ware. A coffee percolator is provided, please bring your own coffee. This house runs on solar power energy and is able to run everything that is in the house(including cieling fan and 1 floor fan) charge cell phones or computer chargers, but not much else. There is a composting toilet for # business , solar shower set up, and a refrigerator for your use. When renting this house if your party is over 2 guests or the Queen size bed isn't enough, there are 2 comfortable floor mattresses also . These will accommodate an individual or a couple. All bedding is provided for the Queen sized bed but not for the floor mattresses. Personal sleeping bags are recommended for them. Guest access This is a small house. There is a four guest maximum for the standard pricing. After that it will cost 20 dollars Per night per head extra and a tent or more should be pitched out somewhere on the property. The one mile of dirt road to the Casa is all weather and does not require a high clearance vehicle. Other things to note I have a gravity feed Berkey water filter that filters my rainwater for drinking and cooking. This water is high quality and potable. If you should desire an alternative please bring your own water. June , July and August are the least popular months to be here because of the high summer temperatures . Although , personally, I find It comfortable and a great time to be here because the park and the ghostown are much less busy! ## Commodités de l’hébergement ### Piscine/spa - Piscine commune ### Internet - Disponible dans la maison : Wi-Fi ### Stationnement et transport - Stationnement sur place ### Cuisine - Batterie de cuisine, vaisselle et couverts - Bouilloire électrique - Cafetière-théière - Réfrigérateur - Surface de cuisson ### Chambres - Chambre - Draps fournis ### Salle de bain - 1 salle de bain - Bidet - Douche - Papier de toilette - Savon - Shampooing ### Divertissement - Livres - Musicothèque ### Espaces extérieurs - Galerie/véranda - Jardin ### Confort - Chauffage - Climatisation ### Animaux de compagnie - Animaux de compagnie acceptés - Chats et chiens acceptés uniquement - Un animal de compagnie au total ### Accessibilité - Hébergement non-fumeurs - Commentaire de l’hôte : Outside smoking permitted ### Dispositifs de sécurité - Aucun détecteur de monoxyde de carbone (L’hôte a indiqué qu’il n’y avait pas de détecteur de monoxyde de carbone dans l’hébergement, mais qu’il y avait des appareils au gaz; envisagez d’apporter un détecteur portable.) - Détecteur de fumée (L’hôte a indiqué qu’il y avait un détecteur de fumée dans l’hébergement.) ### Information générale - Compostage - Douches avec économiseur d’eau - Énergie renouvelable à 100 % - Énergie solaire - Jardin - Taille de l’unité : 1 000 pieds carrés - Toilettes à faible débit d’eau - Vitrine d’artistes locaux ## Hébergements similaires ![Extérieur](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/112000000/111460000/111453600/111453529/7c2ff4e3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Sunsets.

The host was wonderful and incredibly responsive. Amenities were great, exactly as listed and no surprises! We were able to be secluded from others to enjoy the serenity of the desert. We took advantage of the wonderful food at the lodge up the road as well as the showers. 10/10 would recommend this place to ANYONE looking for the perfect way to enjoy the beauty of West Texas. ##### Chelsea B.

We enjoyed our getaway. The cabin was as described. It was safe and complete silence in the evenings. We enjoyed hanging on the porch for sunsets and star gazing. Incredible. We didn’t have cell signal (kinda the point) but his wifi was great when we needed it. He was very responsive to our questions! Really enjoyed our stay! ##### hema b. Séjour de 2 nuits en mars 2025 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Brett 29 mars 2025 Points forts : Propreté, état et installations de l’hébergement Exactly, exactly what we were looking for! ##### Brett Séjour de 2 nuits en mars 2025 ### 8/10 – Bien #### Stella S. 29 mars 2025 Points forts : Propreté #### Cozy rustic desert cabin Stayed 2 nights. Located 30 mins from Big Bend NP, 1 hr from Alpine. Host provided spot-on directions. GPS was also accurate, but landmark descriptions from host were super helpful. There are 2 bedrooms, 1 downstairs and the other in the loft. Downstairs bedroom is connected to the bathroom and currently separated by a curtain/sheet in the doorway. Lots of tools and stuff lying around in the bedroom; host is actively updating the cabin so we figured this was why the tools were in the bedroom. Bedroom 1 also an exterior door with private porch. There is running water and conservation is important (minimal flushing, super short showers); water supply is rain water (it's the desert). Upstairs bedroom is one large room, mattress is on the floor. There is enough space for an inflatable mattress, though I suggest battery powered air pump to conserve electricity (solar powered). There is a portable fan up here which worked beautifully the first night; second night the power went out and still not sure why (could be due to overcast skies?). We were able to open the window, though, and it was glorious. The beds were some of THE MOST COMFORTABLE BEDS we've ever slept on! The most noteworthy negative: no cell service and landline is cordless no way to contact anyone when power was out (wifi went with the power). Cabin was very clean inside. Prepare for amazing sunrises/sunsets! ##### Stella S. Séjour de 2 nuits en mars 2025 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Sarah C. 16 mars 2025 Points forts : Propreté #### Off-Grid Hidden Treasure We absolutely loved our stay in Big Bend. This was one of the most unique and memorable places that we have stayed. This cabin has been built with lots of love and care, and you can tell. The porch was one of the most beautiful parts of the property. Every morning we would watch the sunrise and every evening the sunset. I’ve never been somewhere more quiet and peaceful. Jim wasn’t able to be there for our stay, but made sure that everything was well taken care of for us. It seems that most guests love when he is around as you can tell by reading the guest book. You will not regret booking this VRBO. One thing to note that I think is important is that the cabin is “off-grid” meaning that everything is run off solar power and precious desert rainwater that is collected when it does rain. Make sure you are sparing with the power and water and I would recommend bringing some of your own! Additionally, the stairs to the lofted bedroom are steep! If you can’t climb steep stairs this may not be the listing for you until Jim is fully done with the second downstairs bedroom. Overall, great experience and loved this place! ##### Sarah C.

The property is nice and clean. They have everything you need. It was quiet and private far from any roads or other properties. ##### John H. Séjour de 3 nuits en décembre 2024 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### David F. 26 déc. 2024 Points forts : Propreté #### Awe-some Casa de Creosote may not be the kind of place for everyone, but some, like me, will find everything. I booked a 5-night stay because I needed to get away from it all and let my mind wander a little while. The Chihuahua Desert seemed like the ideal place, and Casa de Creosote looked remote, relaxed and rejuvenating. It totally delivered.The property owner, Jim Keaveny (who is a great musician...seriously, listen to "Happy Man"), met up with me the day I got there to show me around the place and explain how the off-grid cabin worked, the essentials of water and energy conservation, and to tell me about the area. I could tell how proud he was of his quirky, handcrafted cabin and how much he wanted people to enjoy and respect it. I enjoyed all of it.Folks should know that while there is an indoor toilet, those who wish to help conserve water can (and should) use the compost toilet as much as possible. I would also recommend bringing your own water--not that the water there isn't usable or drinkable, it is--but the fact that all the water there is collected from the rare desert rain, it would just mean a lot to bring your own.As for the area, the views are spectacular, the night sky is gorgeous, and the desert life is fascinating. I would spend my days taking in the mesas in an area so quiet I could hear ravens' wings slowly fold as they flew by. I would spend my nights staring out into the stars in awe.This place will reward you for what you put into it. Treat it kindly. ##### David F.

Séjour de 2 nuits en décembre 2024 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Mark G. 4 déc. 2024 Points forts : Propreté #### Must Rent Off Grid Cabin Everything was as advertised but there is so much more!! Jim was great about communicating and when my two grand children and dogs were added to the trip at the last second he was like "no problem". He even brought us propane for the heater as it was unseasonably cold. Off grid with some luxury, 1 million stars with no light pollution, a fire everynight and a great host. Highly Recommend!! Terlingua is a small community andJim knew everbody, great recommendations and an incredible host. Thanks Jim ##### Mark G. Séjour de 3 nuits en novembre 2024 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Matthew S. 1 déc. 2024 Points forts : Propreté #### Quiet desert stay Jim's cabin was a great place to stay, away from the noise and lights of the city. The property is set with views in all directions and we were able to disconnect in a big way. Would recommend to anyone wanting to try off-grid living. ##### Matthew S.

Off grid living with a shower…can’t get any better than that. The hammock was a huge hit with our 4 year old and don’t get me started on the views and the sky!! Jim is the best host. We will definitely be returning! ##### Payton M. Séjour de 2 nuits en octobre 2024 ### 4/10 – Médiocre #### Courtney R. 2 oct. 2024 Points forts : Propreté #### Good but not for us Jim was gracious about his hand built home but we felt some things were a little too ambiguous once arriving. We traveled with a dog and in the summer heat in the desert and only solar powered window A/C it was way too hot. We also didn’t know the “bedroom” was lofted. And we also didn’t know that the wonder lives on the property only a few feet away. The listing could use a little bit more info on a lot of these things. We did not end up staying here. With our dog not allowed in Big Bend we had to take him somewhere he could be kept cool and comfortable during the day. This place might be better for a couple that is not traveling with any animals and in the cooler months. ##### Courtney R.

Jim the host is a good soul. The shower and the floating chair on the porch that made you feel like you were going to fly into the Stars were my favorite part of my stay. A memorable experience and a good spot to stay for the big bend park. Would come back! ##### Roger Séjour de 2 nuits en août 2024 ### 10/10 – Excellent #### Hannah C. 20 août 2024 Points forts : Propreté #### Great basecamp in the desert Perfect base to explore the Bug Bend area. Excellent drinking porch for the evenings. Jim was super communicative and helpful. ##### Hannah C.

It was essential that I take the time to learn about and ask questions, as well as make the effort to become familiar with what "off-grid living" entails for the desert-like conditions of the surrounding Alpine / Terlingua / Study Butte, Texas environs. I found information and planning components for this via online forums, from Jim, as well as from the visitor information provided by nearby Big Bend National Park. Jim was a gracious and amenable host, and I was impressed by the depth of his tenacious experiences off-grid and resolute kindness to coordinate my stay. ##### Shannon F.
