The one downside of this property is a bit of a bumpy rock road to get here. We recommend high clearance, AWD, or 4WD. However, a typical sedan can easily make the drive if the driver is cautious, watches the road closely. Either way, don't rush the drive. Take it slow and easy. Driving too fast down the rock road will be uncomfortable you and your vehicle. The views are great all along the drive, which is another good reason to take it slow. Once at the house, you'll agree that the rough drive is worth it. All linens are provided and the kitchen is stocked with everything but your groceries. 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.) Big Bend Vacation Rentals started out in 2007 and initially managed three of the first four vacation rentals in the Terlingua and Terlingua Ranch area. We now manage dozens out of a couple of hundred options. We represent dozens of property owners and have hosted tens of thousands of guests. You can trust us as managers, and you can rely on the properties that we manage. We have become very selective about the properties and the property owners that we add to our portfolio. Getting Around: We recommend high clearance and 4WD for the bumpy rock road leading to the property. However, a typical sedan can make the drive if the driver is cautious, watches the road closely. Either way, don't rush the drive. Take it slow and easy. Driving too fast down the rock road will be uncomfortable you and your vehicle. The views are great all along the drive, which is another good reason to take it slow. Once at the house, you'll agree that the rough drive is worth it. Interaction with Guests: We manage several properties and live a few miles away. We are available by phone, text, email, or message. We are typically only on site for cleaning or maintenance issues. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Microwave - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Office ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Service animals only (pets not allowed) ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the mountains ### 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 - Unit size: 1,435 square feet ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/70000000/69870000/69864200/69864198/41899b85.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Desert Sky Hideaway: Modern Home near the Terlingua Ghost Town. 3 bedrooms. 2 ba Terlingua - Kitchen - Air conditioning - Outdoor space - Barbecue grill 10 Exceptional 62 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-03&endDate=2025-11-04&selected=69864198&PinnedHotelID=69864198&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=2025-11-03&endDate=2025-11-04&selected=33488350&PinnedHotelID=33488350&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/100000000/99390000/99387800/99387797/6e0501fb.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Mucho Gusto PLUS Casita: 3br 3ba, 2.4 miles from BBNP Terlingua - Hot tub - Kitchen - Air conditioning - Outdoor space 10 Exceptional 9 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-03&endDate=2025-11-04&selected=99387797&PinnedHotelID=99387797&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![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=2025-11-03&endDate=2025-11-04&selected=33667626&PinnedHotelID=33667626&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 197 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-03&endDate=2025-11-04&selected=63902077&PinnedHotelID=63902077&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/104000000/103780000/103774100/103774059/62e9f9d8.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Pool House #1 • 2 BDR + 2 Baths + Private Pool Terlingua - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 9.8 Exceptional 7 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-03&endDate=2025-11-04&selected=103774059&PinnedHotelID=103774059&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/110000000/109860000/109854100/109854045/72da3a70.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Cigar Mountain House Brewster County - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 2 reviews CA $1,029 CA $1,560 total includes taxes & fees Nov 2 - Nov 3 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-02&endDate=2025-11-03&selected=109854045&PinnedHotelID=109854045&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/104000000/103060000/103058900/103058815/24dfd328.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Infinite Skies Retreat • 727 Airplane Home Terlingua - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 10 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-03&endDate=2025-11-04&selected=103058815&PinnedHotelID=103058815&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33490000/33486100/33486028/220033fa.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Sunrise Ridge: Modern.

Nov 27, 2023 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Thanksgiving stay Beautiful setting. the view 360 degrees is fabulous and worth the drive in. The house is private and has lots of interesting details, art, books etc. The beds were very comfortable. Was good to be so close to the park. ##### Cindy D.

Jan 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nestled in the mountains We stayed here for Christmas and had such a great time. We loved how remote the house was and the amazing views. It took about 45 minutes to get to big bend from the house. We did lots of hiking and cooking. The beds were a little firm and must have missed there was no microwave. Everything else was amazing. Great memories! ##### Denielle W. Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Thomas F. Nov 12, 2024 Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### They made it right! We did have some water issues during the week, but what made this an overall excellent experience was the commitment on the part of the property managers to quickly respond to our needs, and to rectify the situation as best they could. With any house, things go wrong from time to time, but here you are in good hands! ##### Thomas F. Stayed 8 nights in Nov 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eric Feb 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication Great seclusion and an ideal location for using a telescope. Property needs a little upkeep but other than that we had power and water the whole time (off grid). Best to access with a truck or off road capable vehicle. Not to far from a grocery store and restaurants. ##### Eric Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Suzanne N. Jan 25, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Stars and Bumpy Roads Our family had a fabulous stay. The house had everything needed for a comfortable stay. The best part were the stars at night (sure-go ahead and clap clap clap). Worst part was a tough 3.2 mile drive off the main road on a rough dirt road. Don't go above 10 mph if you want arrive intact! ##### Suzanne N.
