Minutes from Terlingua and Big Bend National Park. The Space: Step back in time at this vintage Terlingua adobe. La Paloma Triste is an ideal escape from the madness of modern life. This is the quintessential Terlingua vacation home. La Paloma Triste (The Sad Dove) is a classic adobe home near Willow Spring and just minutes from Terlingua with excellent views of the Chisos Mountains and Willow Mountain. Built in the 80’s, with antique doors, windows, fixtures, and furnishings reclaimed from much older homes in Mexico and the Southwest, this cozy home blends modern conveniences with genuine rustic charm. Whether relaxing by the wood burning stove or enjoying the views from the porch swing, you’ll feel as if you stepped back in time to the pioneer days of the Wild West. There is plenty of room to relax with two bedrooms, a full kitchen, a large living room, one and a half bathrooms, a spacious porch and covered parking, not to mention forty private acres of pristine desert habitat. The main bedroom features a queen sized four poster bed, antique armoire, antique dresser and a private bath with a shower. The second bedroom has two walls full of windows with breathtaking views of the Chisos Mountains and nearby Bee Mountain. The living room has an antique wood burning stove (wood provided), rustic built-in shelves filled with artifacts and other items of local interests, and comfortable seating. The fully stocked kitchen has a new gas stove, antique sink, rustic shelving, and a classic pine and cedar table that was built by the owners. The large back porch has a porch swing for two with amazing views of the Chisos Mountains and Bee Mountain. The carport protects your vehicle from the west Texas sun and our infrequent storms. Of course, the main attractions are outside. Take time to enjoy the solitude of the Chihuahuan desert and Willow Spring. The area around the house is landscaped with native plants, interesting rocks, and rusty pioneer artifacts that were collected over many years by the original owner. You will also want to visit Big Bend National Park, the Rio Grande River, Big Bend Ranch State Park, Terlingua Ghost Town, and our various restaurants and shops. If you don’t have time on this trip, you’re welcome to return again and again. The views of the night sky are beyond simple description. The Big Bend region has the darkest nights (lowest light pollution) of anywhere in the continental US. As the song says, “the stars at night are big and bright deep in the heart of Texas”. They’re even bigger and brighter here in the Bend. When the moon is out, you’ll be amazed at how bright and clear it shines. When the moon is not out, you’ll be stunned by the countless stars and the light and dark bands of the Milky Way. In the hour or two after sunset and before sunrise, you can often see the International Space Station and other satellites racing across the night sky. Shooting stars are visible throughout the year, especially during the Perseid and Geminid meteor showers. Check out “VisitBigBend.com” for suggestions of things to do and see during your stay. Explore the parks, raft the river, go horseback riding, take scenic drives, go mountain biking, visit the ghost town, eat out, enjoy the local nightlife including live music at several small venues, watch the wildlife, or just relax on the porch with your favorite book. Return home exhausted and inspired from endless adventures or well-rested and refreshed from escaping the rush of modern life. The choices are all yours. Regardless of your plans, La Paloma Triste (The Sad Dove) is an ideal home away from home for your visit the Big Bend. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1.5 bathrooms - Shower - Towels provided ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33670000/33667700/33667626/86d65947.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Casa Mariposa: Restored Rock Ruin in Ghost Town Terlingua Ghost Town - Kitchen - Air conditioning - Outdoor space - Parking available 9.6 Exceptional 113 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-11&endDate=2025-11-12&selected=33667626&PinnedHotelID=33667626&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34340000/34333100/34333045/e515127c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Terlingua Creek Porch House: On Terlingua Creek Study Butte-Terlingua - Kitchen - Air conditioning - Outdoor space - Parking available 9.4 Exceptional 68 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-11&endDate=2025-11-12&selected=34333045&PinnedHotelID=34333045&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34120000/34112900/34112877/31b00012.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Big Bend Observatory: Private Observatory, SkyDeck Terlingua - Kitchen - Air conditioning - Outdoor space - Parking available 9.6 Exceptional 81 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-11&endDate=2025-11-12&selected=34112877&PinnedHotelID=34112877&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33940000/33933600/33933504/3b3e725c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Pat O’s Place: Quiet, Comfortable & Convenient Terlingua - Kitchen - Air conditioning - Outdoor space - Parking available 9.8 Exceptional 105 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-11&endDate=2025-11-12&selected=33933504&PinnedHotelID=33933504&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33400000/33394300/33394223/6c30b549.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lorna’s Ghost Town Cabin: Located in Ghost Town Terlingua - Kitchen - Air conditioning - Outdoor space - Parking available 9.8 Exceptional 116 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-11&endDate=2025-11-12&selected=33394223&PinnedHotelID=33394223&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor spa tub](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/64000000/63910000/63902100/63902077/4fcf0748.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Terlingua Casita de Chiles Barndominium TERLINGUA - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 201 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-11&endDate=2025-11-12&selected=63902077&PinnedHotelID=63902077&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/35000000/34330000/34325700/34325661/cf8a0a18.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Sherri’s Terlingua Cabin on the Creek: Easy Access Terlingua - Kitchen - Air conditioning - Outdoor space - Parking available 9.6 Exceptional 138 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-11&endDate=2025-11-12&selected=34325661&PinnedHotelID=34325661&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33490000/33488400/33488350/8c22903c.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Desert Aura: Southwest Adobe & Detached Guesthouse Terlingua - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Air conditioning 9.8 Exceptional 119 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-11&endDate=2025-11-12&selected=33488350&PinnedHotelID=33488350&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior detail](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/117000000/116460000/116458400/116458317/5fc670be.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### MJ's Cabin.
