The property had everything we needed and was a great place to come back to after a day of hiking at Big Bend. The little coffee shop just below was a plus. Gorgeous views and night skies.

This place was even better than the pictures showed! It was literally the perfect place to stay there. It’s close to the entrance of the park, it’s close to the cutest and best coffee shop (which by the way, has the best breakfast, particularly the eggs Benedict) , and it’s also close to the starlight theater restaurant, which is open every day at 5 PM for dinner and the food was also awesome there too. The staff was very helpful and very quick to respond and very, very nice! We had the best time and if I ever come back out that way, I will definitely stay at the same place again. Definitely exceeded all of my expectations!

Very peaceful, comfortable, and clean room with beautiful views from the patio. After day hikes at Big Bend it was wonderful to come back to our oasis and walk to dinner!

Not a lot of options near Big Bend, but loved our stay hear. So much character and room 1 has a private bath.
Finding air conditioning and plumbing is hard, but really impressed with this. Love the atmosphere of Terlingua and the convenience to get to Big Bend NP. Really enjoyed our stay.

Great ghost town room
My wife and I stayed while visiting the Big Bend area. The room was perfect for the 2 of us. Close to Bog Bend National Park and walking distance to most everything in the Terlingua Ghost town

Housing options are limited and expensive in this area. The owner has taken an old property and made it special for a guest stay. The bed was comfortable but a bit noisy. On site coffee shop was a real plus. Not being able to flush toilet paper was a new experience for us. The AC worked well and the host was available 24/7 for any special needs

Delightful guest house, close to Big Bend
Las Posada Milagro is a charming guest house situated hillside in Terlingua! We stayed in the Santa Elena Suite, cozy with authentic appeal. It’s close proximity to Big Bend was perfect: days of hiking in the park followed by relaxing star gazing on the luscious patio. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend this casita in Terlingua Ghost Town. Cool decor with a West Texas vibe. Loved the patio areas for stargazing. Sits high above the “town” so great views of sunrise over the mountains. Walking distance to breakfast /lunch at La Posada Milagra as well as the Starlight Theater for dinner. Easy drive to Big Bend for day trips.
Enjoy!

Great stay
Loved La Posada Milagro. Stayed two nights in mid May. Room was comfortable and nicely appointed, felt like a cool, cozy retreat from the May heat. Views from the room and property are spectacular. Decided to make our own dinner one night in the open kitchen given the vista. Patio wall visit from a road runner a plus. Communication with Joel was prompt. Will stay again on another visit.

I wanted to do some star gazing and relax with no noise! This was perfect! No television! The sky was dark enough for viewing also! The room was clean and well appointed! Watch your head as the doorways are quite low! I’ll return here!

Terrific Teralingua
Our room was a cozy, clean place to stay in Teralingua and well located right in Ghost town. I would give the property manager 10 stars If that were an option. Joel was responsive and most helpful from Booking to departure. Only negative would be the lack of a closet or bureau but we managed. Could also use a larger mirror over the bathroom sink. We’re on the tall side :)

I have visited Terlingua several times over the years and I can easily say this was the best place I've ever stayed at. This place checks all the box's comfortable bed, great A/C, clear water source, speedy Wifi, and central to everything in the ghost town. I can't wait to come back in the spring!
