About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Off-Grid, Modern Cliff House

The Perch is a modern, fully off-grid home — Set into the cliff edge of a 60+ million-year-old limestone plateau, you’ll have one-of-a-kind views overlooking the historic Terlingua Ghost Town and into the expanse of the Chisos mountain range of Big Bend National Park. Nestled on 20 acres of pristine Chihuahuan desert, it is the perfect property for couples, a small family, a group of hikers or anyone who wants to enjoy the solitude and wonder of the Big Bend region.

The Perch is such a great place to stay if you plan on getting off the grid and away from the fast paced life. The property is great and secluded. Everything was clean and the home is well equipped for anything you want to do. You can see the sunrise and set and get great views of the night sky. The Perch is not far from Big Bend National Park and offers a great place to return to after a long day at the park. This place is a must book/see and we will be returning again in the future. We had great communication with our host with perfect instructions.

Wonderful home with nobody around. Road to the house is fun. Need a high clearance vehicle. They let you know in the description and we can validate. Beds are comfortable and ac is cool. Two toilets one outside one inside. Two showers one outside one inside. There was not an oven. Not a big deal we made it work.

We rented in August. The solar system failed. We were without power. Some of our food spoiled. We couldn’t sleep. If your system can’t handle August heat perhaps you shouldn’t rent in the summerThe house is beautiful with amazing views

Best Views In Terlingua

What an amazing property! Looking out at the ghost town from the top of the plateau is truly incredible, especially at sunrise and sunset. The host did not cheap out on anything from furnishings to decorations to accommodations like fire pit, outdoor shower and beautiful deck. I would highly recommend this property to anyone staying in the area for a trip to the National Park or nearby state park. The bedding was very comfortable, shower pressure was great, hot water fantastic, cooling chilly and overall a very positive experience. This is absolutely one of the more unique places I have stayed in West Texas and will be happy to come back for future trips.

Awesome cliffside retreat

This house was awesome! We had a fantastic stay and the pictures don't even come close to describing the amazing view! The house is well equipped with cooking supplies and propane grill. We enjoyed the comfy king beds and hanging out on the deck for sunrises and sunsets. We definitely recommend this house if you are looking for a cool off grid experience in Terlingua. Note: The road up is a rough dirt road going up the mountain and we had no problems in our Yukon, but it might be tough to manage for a small city car. Also, there is one king bed in the loft with a steep metal ladder so it may be better suited for older kids or adults who don't get up in the night.

Spectacular

Wow - what a stay. What a great space to share with our adult children to enjoy the surrounding beauty of Big Bend National Park. Everyone had comfortable space to retreat to after a long day of hiking and night of enjoying the dark sky! The kitchen is well stocked and we didn't find ourselves wanting for anything. Make sure to bring some firewood and some groceries.....you're set. Thanks for a memorable stay.

The View!

This place was absolutely gorgeous! The views were breathtaking and the outdoor shower was unique and refreshing after long hikes in BBNP. The road up to the spot was fun in our Jeep and it was a perfect spot to see the wildlife.

Perhaps the most amazing Sunrise of my life.....

This place...... What can I say?!?! Mind Blown! Yes, it's off grid and you have to think about conservation, but the beds are comfy, there is wifi, the record collection is off the hook and the views are unbelievable. If you are on the fence, let me push you over the edge..... The Stars! Mind boggling how many stars there are. One thing worth mentioning is the drive up - it really needs four wheel drive. Such a fun adventure!!!!
