RELAX OFF THE BEATEN PATH!

This is one of the very few nightly rentals that provides an automatic backup generator in the event of power outage to south Brewster County.

Bring your camera and get ready to relax! Drive or Fly-in! The choice is yours.

We take great pains to insure that our facility is sanitized and disinfected as much as possible between visiting guests.

This is a 107 acre property full of wildlife, cactus, birds and hiking. This is a NON-smoking and No Pet rental. There is a $250 fee for violation of either of these policies. This property is accessible by car (the last 3 miles is a well maintained gravel road). The RV is a 34' 2018 Jayco Eagle Series bumper pull with two queen beds. This RV is equipped with huge flat screen TV, wifi, bluetooth stereo, double-door refrig/freezer, oven, range, outdoor gas grill, a gas griddle and a wood fired barbque pit with mesquite provided. This also comes equipped with 2 factory A/Cs and central heat, coffee pot with timer and a counter top icemaker. You will also find on-site a large charcoal/wood bar-b-q pit and lots of mesquite wood to cook with.

Also at the disposal of the customer is a 10'x 45' covered wooden deck with chairs and a ceiling mounted mister system for hot summer days. Beautiful views of Bell Mountain, White Horse Mtn and the Christmas Mtns can all be seen from this vantage point, none more than a mile and a half from the porch. This deck is also equipped with five 8' roll down screens for additional comfort from extreme heat. Of course there is a propane gas fire pit and a Chiminea with ample pinion pine firewood for cold winter days and nights. Enjoy the viewing of scaled quail, eurasian and white winged doves, mule deer, javelina, fox, coyote, ravens and red-tailed hawks. Blackbear, mountain lions and bobcats have also been seen close to the house. Absolutely no hunting or discharge of firearms is allowed. This home is completely dependant on rainfall. We request that all visitors limit their water consumption. These quarters come with a 6 gallon water heater which helps reduce long showers. Due to the various types of wildlife in the area and customer allergies, we have a no pet policy that is strictly enforced. There is also a $250 fee for violation of this policy.

There is a home on-site which is the owners private residence and customers are not permitted with it's use. If you Fly-in, we can arrange to have you picked up and provide you a 6-person UTV for rental if requested.

Area attractions include but are not limited to: Big Bend National Park (with access to a rowboat ride into Old Mexico for lunch and shopping), Big Bend Ranch State Park, Terlingua Ghostown, Lajitas Golf Resort, a beautiful River Road trip along the Rio Grande to Presidio, TX, chartered rafting down the Rio Grande through Santa Elena Canyon or Boquillas Canyon, and dinner at the Starlight Theatre in the ghostown. You are welcome to bring your own mountain bikes, ATV’s or UTV’S and ride out right from your front door. This property is a scenic 40 minute drive from the National Park.

Closer to home (1/2mile south) , you will find the Terlingua Ranch Headquarters office open 7 days a week, along with a cabana and bath house at the swimming pool. The ranch headquarters area also has a 7 day a week/ 3 meals a day café known as "The Bad Rabbit". There is also a laundromat located very close to the mgmt. office where they also sell bagged ice, logo T-shirts, wine glasses, caps and koozies.

If you are fortunate enough to have owners Mark and Michelle there on a visit at the time of your stay, you will surely benefit from their knowledge of the area and their ability (price negotiable) to take you on a UTV guided tour of more of the unknown areas of the 225,000 acre Terlingua Ranch.

There is a 10%discount on the nightly rate for Veterans. Copy of military ID card required. Call Mark at 806-781-7814, please leave a message.

Beautiful scenery
Our hosts were friendly, our accommodations were clean, and the scenery was absolutely beautiful. We enjoyed sitting on the front porch and watching the wildlife.

Living it up in the Texas backcountry
We loved our time at Mark and Michelle's property, way out in the Texas Backcountry. Our kids rated the RV the best spot we stayed on our vacation. We saw a gray desert fox, herds of deer, jackrabbit, and other local animals during our stay. Our hosts were wonderful and went out of their way to help us have a great time. It is roughly a 45-minute drive from terlingua Ghost Town, but its remoteness is what makes it so unique and memorable. We hope we'll get to visit again someday!

Great Stay!
The RV is a great place to stay! It has everything you need (all the kitchen gadgets and plenty of bathroom and hot tub towels) and is very peaceful and clean. The beds were also comfortable and a welcome sight at after a long day of hiking at Big Bend. Mark did a great job communicating how to get there and check in so it was easy to find. Highly recommend!

Relaxing and enjoyable.
Waking up to the quail and deer outside the window and enjoying the evening on the porch watching the fox's was a real treat. An hour from Big Bend made it ideal.

Bucket list trip to Big Bend
Not just an accommodation but an experience. RV is spacious and comfy. It is fully stocked. If they don’t have it, you don’t need it! The property is amazing. Just an incredibly beautiful vista. Abundant wildlife every single day and a great place to see stars. That said, nothing beats the hosts. From start to finish the communication was extraordinary. Mark and Michelle are an absolute wealth of recommendations and it is clear they love where they live. We were blessed to enjoy their company on the porch ending our every day after visiting the Park. We laughed and had just an all out incredible stay. But let it be known…if you prefer privacy, they will full on give you all the space. We give them a ten out of five stars!!

Great stay at Big Bend
We enjoyed everything about our stay in this clean well kept rv. Our son loved being able to feed the red tailed fox and watching the mule deer and javalinas come eat in the evening. The owners were onsite and are very friendly and accommodating. It was also a pleasure getting to sit on the porch and enjoy their company.

Mountain and desert VRBO
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We wanted to be able to explore Big Bend National Park a few days and also enjoy the dark sky and stars. Staying here allowed us to do both. We were blessed with also striking up a friendship with the owners. They were a delightful couple, interesting to chat with and very accommodating.
