The Neighborhood: TERLINGUA RANCH: Located between Big Bend National Park and Big Bend Ranch State Park and including much of the town of Terlingua, Terlingua Ranch is a private subdivision of over 190,000 acres, divided into 9,500 tracts owned by about 5,000 individuals and crisscrossed by 1,100 miles of dirt and rock roads. Tracts range from five acres to several hundred acres. It is some of the most rugged and scenic land in Texas. Back in the 1960’s, the Ghost Town and much of what later became “Terlingua Ranch” was owned by racing legend and car designer extraordinaire, Carol Shelby and some of his friends. The decided to promote the area by holding a chili cook-off in the then abandoned Ghost Town. That little stunt of a cook-off grew into CASI (Chili Appreciation Society International) which now hosts nearly 500 chili cook-offs around the nation and internationally, all leading up the championship cook-off every year in Terlingua. Shelby and friends later subdivided the Ranch and started selling it off to hunters and rugged naturalists. Over the decades, the area was reborn and an eclectic community of nature lovers, artists, musicians, adventurers, and folks just wanting to escape from “civilization” has grown and started to resettle this rough country. People have come and gone. New buildings have risen while others have fallen, Dreams have been realized and others crushed. Through it all, the land remains. The harsh desert and vast openness encourages positive development and slowly swallows up and recovers from past abuses. The old cinnabar mine sites and ranching outposts persist as relics and ghost towns, some redeveloped, some carefully preserved, and others dissolving back into the desert. Abandoned dreams eventually become points of interests for those of us that stumble upon them decades later. Terlingua Ranch is a bizarre mix of old and new, good and bad, growth and decline, all completely unregulated. Modern homes with high values and stunning designs stand beside dilapidated do-it-yourself mistakes and abandoned ruins of the 1800’s and early 1900’s. The landscape is even more varied than the people and the structures. Rugged mountains, deep canyons, wild arroyos, dry and wet creeks, peaceful valleys, breathtaking badlands, moonscape like mud flats, the remains of ancient volcanoes, and fossilized ancient seabeds. All of it nurturing a vast array of plant life and wildlife. Around every corner and over every hill lies new and unexpected surprises. The Ranch is now home to a few hundred hardy souls. It is also dotted with a diverse array of vacation rental lodging options and campsites. Like the diverse land, they range in quality, style, value, and price. A few are amazing dream destinations. Some are good places to sleep. Others are the stuff of nightmares. (We don’t manage any in the nightmare category.)

It also provided space, comfort, seclusion and privacy. The observation deck on top of the shipping container was a big hit and excellent way to observe the stars at night while being off the desert floor.

I have stayed here multiple times and will undoubtedly stay here again. The house is wonderfully appointed, and everything is nice, clean, and in working condition. It has everything you need for your getaway and has very isolated feel without being too far or difficult to get to. To me, I consider this a prime location for the area. As mentioned before, I will almost certainly stay here again and definitely highly recommend a tua Corazon. Also, as usual, Daryl and Janet are highly responsive and wonderful to work with.

Super secluded but lots of the comforts of home. Super spacious and after a day of hiking, we chilled and watched movies and games from their library. Fully stocked kitchen with tons of supplies, including for the BBQ and fire pit (we made s'mores every night). We took the owners recommendations and loaded up on groceries in Alpine before arriving. While the location is secluded it wasn't too far off from Terilingua and Big Bend. The directions were super descriptive and had zero issue with the drive to the house. We drove in a sedan and no problem with the unpaved portion of the road. I would recommend arriving during the day since it does get so dark. The owners were super communicative; so, don't hesitate to ask any questions. Would definitely recommend! ##### Anna P. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### David D.

We had a great time. The property has an awesome view, it is very spacious and comfortable. Inside has wifi, clean sheets and towels, washer and dryer, board games, all the kitchen gear you need and plenty of water for registered guests. Outside has a storage container rooftop star gazing area, covered area with grill and picnic table, fire ring and plenty of chairs. It is a bit off the beaten path, but it's a peaceful place to kick back and relax if that is what you're looking for. I highly recommend this property for anyone wanting to stay in the area. ##### Donna M. Stayed 6 nights in Feb 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kay B.

It was quite the adventure driving there, but it just added to the experience in my opinion. My daughters and I really enjoyed the property. We saw deer from the skydeck, so that was a highlight. The skydeck was literally magical at night. The sunsets we witnessed were gorgeous. And the star gazing was unmatched. My girls and I were in awe. We would definitely visit again. Perfect Big Bend vacation spot. ##### Kay B.

From the youngest in our group at age 7 to the oldest at 50, we all enjoyed exploring the property, watching extraordinary ever changing skys, roasting marshmallows and listening to the sounds or lack of sounds... and the house was pristine... everything we needed was there. Hopefully at some point, there will be a more permanent road to get there, as the dirt/ grated rock was difficult on the minivan. But it was worthwhile. Thank you for an unforgettable experience. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul H.

It is so all of those. Our group of six spent six nights there and we enjoyed every aspect of the property - the drive in on paved and unpaved roads (the seclusion part); the roominess and excellent condition of the interior (the comfortable and spacious parts). And we enjoyed the outdoor spaces - the deck for sunsets, the surrounding desert yard for dark sky time and nighttime searches for reptiles and other creatures, the sunrises as we left each morning for Big Bend National Park (which is spectacular in so many ways). The Alon convenience store was a daily convenient stop for gas and ice and the Cottonwood grocery store (both in Study Butte/Terlingua) was a frequent stop for supplies. We could be anywhere in the park - Santa Elena canyon to Chisos Basin to Boquillas canyon - in under two hours. And Daryl and Janet were great to work with throughout the booking process and during and after our stay. If we are ever back in the area, and we really hope we are, we'll be hoping to stay again at Cactus Corazon. ##### Paul H. Stayed 6 nights in Apr 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ruth I.

The facility was clean, overall it was a great stay. The kitchen was well stocked, and had everything we needed. Outside/yard activities were great for our 5 and 8 year old. We got to make s’mores and woke up one night at 3am and got go up the container and were able to see the Milky Way! It was such a great experience. We got to hear the coyotes howling at night, that was a very cool experience. We were a short 45-min-drive away from big bend, the drive into the property was easy to find and had no issues with our jeep wrangler and Nisan kick. We brought all our supplies from Walmart in Del Rio, but found a small convenient store in Terlingua “cottonwood” between the home and big bend that was fully stocked with anything and everything you could possibly imagine from contact solution to electrolytes (for a higher than usual price) but if need be, it’s a great location to find stuff that you might have forgotten. Overall we had a great experience, we had no issues with communication with the host, they provided excellent service, I would def recommend it. ##### Ruth I.

This is a great place if you want some peace and quiet! The outside deck to see the stars is great! And the peace and silence is unlike anything we have experienced! The owners are great - quick to respond, house was clean, with tons of kitchen gear - just bring some food and you are set! And directions to the house were spot on! If visiting Big Bend it’s about a one hour drive door to door and well worth it! We were mainly at Chisos basin and had tons of great hiking. In full transparency, the drive is pretty easy - the last 4.5 miles is on a dirt road so be ready for some bumps. Highly suggest a truck for the drive. Once you get to the house you will love the view and silence! Overall great place! ##### Ian M.
