Bunk house guests can access the bathroom in the main house via an exterior door. -OUTDOOR SPACE- We provide a 1000 square foot covered porch with comfortable seating and dining areas amidst a serene view.

Bring a hammock for stargazing as we provide a hammock stand a short distance away from the house on the nature trail. -OFF GRID- All water is held in rain catchment tanks on site. Please conserve water with diligence. We suggest limiting showers to 3 minutes. This house is powered entirely by the sun with battery storage. Please do not bring or use any electrical appliances that heat up such as a blow dryer, curling iron, coffee maker, crock pot etc. Be mindful of power use on cloudy days that inhibit solar performance. The AC’s in the main and bunk house are set to turn off when the batteries drop below 48V to ensure enough power for the fridge and water pump (AC’s will turn back on when the sun has charged to approximately 52 V). Guests must be sensible about how and when they use the air conditioner. An instruction guide with summertime tips is provided at the rental. -ADDITIONAL CAMPERS- Do you have more friends that want to join in your adventures? Campsites are available upon special request. Campers are required to bring their own tents, all their own bedding (sleeping pads & bags, pillows, blankets, bath linens, etc). Additional $25 cleaning fee applies and there will be an additional charge of $10 per person per night for tent camping to help cover the cost of additional water usage. 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.

My girlfriend and I had the best time at this rental. Beautiful views and the house was perfect for our needs.

This place was great! It mostly had everything you needed. The sunsets were beautiful and the stars were amazing. It was nice to relax and chill. Terlingua is only 20-25 min drive away if you need supplies or just to check the town out. Big Bend about 45min to 1 hour drive away. The hosts were communicative with us and helped us with whatever we needed. We plan to come back again!

This is an amazing place to stay. The setting is beautiful and the home has everything you need. You need to plan ahead and bring your groceries, etc. if you are cooking, as it is not particularly close to anywhere, which is the point of staying there. Terlingua has a pretty well stocked market though 20ish minutes away, on the way to BBNP. We easily could have stayed longer! We loved the sunsets, sitting on the porch, just hanging out, and enjoying the setting. No one even minded short showers or hand washing dishes. And our days in BBNP were outstanding as well.

Our vacation to BBNP was wonderful and coming home to Javelina Hideout made it even better. We loved everything about our stay. Turns out 3 minute showers are sufficient and our coffee was delicious! We enjoyed the birds and all the comfortable areas to relax-as well as the decor in and out. The sunrises and sunsets were delightful! Everything there is well thought out for aesthetics and comfort. Our only regret is not being able to spend more time there! Janet and Daryl were very accommodating.

Would 100 stay here again. The house had everything we needed. Well thought out down to that matches in the bathroom. Ha! Sadly we did not get to use the fire pits due to a wind/dust storm but hope to in the future! Bed was super comfortable, clean and plenty of extra blankets in the closet. We had to use one heater for a little bit which worked great! The AC worked well also. Views and stars were breathtaking. Bring a legit flashlight! Don’t try to count on your phone. No real problems with bugs and such. Our stay was October 23rd - 25th ‘22. It’s the season that can be hot but very cold in the same day. That’s Texas!

We cannot recommend this wonderful property highly enough as it was the perfect blend of funky and luxury. We enjoyed the access to Big Bend, loved the solitude, and enjoyed viewing the Milky Way while stargazing. And after seeing the options available in Terlingua, this property stands out even more. We fell in love with Big Bend and did now want to leave this desert hideaway.

Anniversary Getaway
It was a nice to get away with the wife and disconnect from real life. Perfect place to stargaze. We'll definitely be back.

What an absolutely magical place! The pictures don't do it justice. It's just the right balance of comfort and intrigue. If you are looking for the perfect West Texas experience this is it! I stayed here with my brother to hike and canoe Big Bend. It's over an hour drive but that's to be expected. The place has everything you need but their respect for the environment means preserving water and keeping waste to a minimum. The separate WC was nice and no big deal at all. Having a full bath in the main house made it all work. The kitchen , living room and covered deck were beautiful, fun and funky. Artwork abounds both in and out including a very creative pathway on the property. This is tremendous place to stay in every way!

This property fit perfectly into our plan for a girl's trip to Big Bend. We loved the quiet location for peaceful happy hours watching the sun set from the comfy porches, watching the stars around the firepit and swinging on the porch swing watching the sunrises. Our group of 4 women had plenty of room. Two of us stayed in the bunk house which was quite comfortable. The linens and bedding in the house are really nice. The owners have gone above and beyond with all the special touches at this property which feel very homey. We also loved the nature walk around the property.
5.0
And it did not disappoint. Very easy to find, and not too far from Terlingua and BBNP. The only thing we didn’t like was the fact that we could only stay 2 nights. It looks like this place books up quick, so make sure to book far in advance. Owners are very eco friendly which you kind of have to be out there, and it’s very secluded and quiet. If you need to unplug and unwind, perfect place. They gave a separate bunkhouse if you want to bring friends.

Home Base for Bid Bend
We were very comfortable in late February with temperatures down to 30F at night and up to 70F during the day, but was very easy to keep indoors comfortable. The kids loved the garden 'trails' and exploring the property. Most meals we cooked in the kitchen which was adequately equipped. We didn't use the bunkhouse to sleep due to having small kids, but it was also convenient and comfortable. The dark sky was one of the main reasons we chose this location and we were fortunate to have clear skies. It is worth a trip back!

Our family of 4 made Javelina Hideout our home base while visiting Big Bend National Park. It was a great decision! The home is about 30 minutes from the entrance to the park, but the drive in and out each day wasn’t tiresome. The property was perfect as a getaway, at night with the lights turned off the sky lite up with stars that are just not possible with the light pollution around the main TX cities. We had the feeling of “camping” in the wilderness, with the modern amenities to enjoy our time there. The house itself was amazing and the owners provided everything we could need and friendly notes with needed details on staying in the sustainable home. Our boys loved exploring the art gardens and watching the birds in the bird feeders/bath.
There is so much more for us to explore then we could in the several days we were there so we’ll definitely be returning to BBNP/Terlingua and staying at Javelina Hideout.

Javelina Hideout is a majestic place in the desert. My family and I wanted to be off the grid but at the same time have modern amenities. JH offers just that. This was our first trip to BBNP and Terlingua and we plan on coming back soon and staying at JH. The property is only about 20 min from the town of Study Butte and 25 min from Ghost Town Terlingua, on plenty of acreage to give you the feeling of being alone in the desert. The property is perfect for a party of 5 with the added bunkhouse. It was only 3 of us and the house was amazing. We loved all the details that went into making this home feel like a home away from home from the interior to the yard art. The night skies are amazing with hardly any light pollution. This place was just what we needed for a getaway in the desert. We absolutely loved it and we cant wait to go back.Thank youSid, Mel, and Bella

We had such a wonderful time at Javelina Ranch - the views from the house were amazing, the bird watching on the feeder was the best (we saw the quails on our last morning there!), and being near Terlingua and Big Bend made it the perfect place to stay. We had no issues with the solar power or rainwater, and it was super rad to stay in a place truly off the grid with everything we needed to cook and truly relax. Thank you so much for the best stay! We'll definitely be back!

My husband and I went for our honeymoon last week and we had the best time! Its a bit different to be off grid but an amazing experience. Easy drive to Big Bend NP or Big Bend SP, Terlingua, Alpine, and Lajitas. We wanted quiet and secluded to relax and recharge after the stresses of planning a wedding (during Covid) and reconnect with each other. The place was spotless and very clean with lots of outdoor space to roam and enjoy the west Texas sunsets/sunrises. Also has a great gas fire pit to sit around on a cool night, and the stars are spectacular!

This home is a sanctuary for the soul. The mountains beyond @ dessert landscape pull you out of yourself and bring the healing in. Inside, all of the comforts are there. The space brings insight that living off grid, is possible & comfortable, but also makes one mindful to be in synchronicity with nature. It connects you further.Thank you for the wonderful experience.
