About this house rental
This is a romantic studio style cabin/house with a lofted bedroom on the second floor of the a-frame, as well a ground floor bedroom with a queen bed and bathroom. It is about 20 minutes outside of the ghost town, with big starry skies, incredible sunsets and sunrises. This house offers privacy and solitude being that it is on a 20 acre piece of land on Terlingua Ranch with beautiful 360 degree views of the Christmas Mountains and Nine Point Mesa ( note, I do also live on the property in a separate dwelling that gives you privacy and also have one camp site on the property that is sometimes occupied). I built this house as a creative space to make music and enjoy the Big Bend Region. The beautiful wooden porch with hammock and outdoor couch is great for watching sunsets. POOL ACCESS OFF SITE at Terlingua Ranch.
The space
This is a beautiful but rustic place. It has daytime air conditioning. The house has running water collected from the rare desert rains. It has a 2 burner Coleman propane stove, wifi, landline, bluetooth speakers, sink, pots, pans and dishware. We now a beautiful outdoor grill as well. A coffee percolator is provided, please bring your own coffee. Tea is complimentary. This house runs on solar power energy and is able to run everything that is in the house, including ceiling fan and 1 floor fan, as well as charge cell phones or computer chargers, etc. There is a new full bathroom in the house, equipped with beautiful Mexican tile hot water shower and toilet. Refrigerator is also included in the house. There is only 1 floor mattress provided for parties of more than 4. Parties of 4 or more can also set up a tent (however, please note that parties of more than 4, will see a slight price increase) All bedding is provided for the 2 Queen sized beds but not for the floor mattress. Personal sleeping bags and any other bedding you might want are needed when amount of guests surpasses 4 people
Guest access
This is a small house. There is a four guest maximum for the standard pricing. After that it will cost 20 dollars per night per extra head.
The one mile of dirt road to the Casa is all weather and does not require a high clearance vehicle.
Other things to note
I have a gravity feed Berkey water filter that filters my rainwater for drinking and cooking. This water is high quality and potable. If you should desire an alternative please bring your own water. Bringing extra water is suggested regardless. , Laundry facilities can be used at the Terlingua Ranch, as well as the pool on a hot day. July and August are the least popular months to be here because of the high summer temperatures . Although , personally, I find It comfortable and a great time to be here because the park and the ghost town are much less busy and prices are discounted! We offer generous discount for longterm stays, please inquire if interested. Host lives on property, but gives the house lots of space, but also there to help you if anything comes up.

We loved this off-grid little house so much! It was perfect for our family, and looked exactly like the pictures. It seemed to have a personal touch and built out of love. It also had everything we could possibly need for our stay. The only issue is that the ranch did not have free showers and the pool was 8 per day per person. It wasn’t a big deal, just different information than what was provided to us. We would definitely stay here again!

The view was majestic and room decent. I when there to get off the grid and relax, I believe I reached my goal.

My partner and I booked this for a trip with our teenage son. We ended up having to leave after the first night and booked a different location. The host was responsive when we communicated. However, the description of this stay needs to be more transparent and informative. We can see where this stay would be a better option for a couple or 2 people willing to share a bed during cooler months. We are familiar with off grid but this stay isn’t like any of our off grid stays. In our opinion, it is more like a camp site w a shelter due to the unreliable amenities listed. Be advised, the other bed is in a loft which does not have a dedicated AC. The house as a whole traps heat. It was intolerable in the loft. The unit in the common space blows hot air. When we reached out about how to cool the place, host said to open windows and run fans. We got in around 10 pm and by 12 am electricity was off. Fans off. It was miserable. We would have come better prepared or booked elsewhere if we knew there would not be enough enough bank to run any power over night. Pots and counters were very dirt. We know it’s the desert but we’ve camped in cleaner tent sites than this. We do pay a cleaning fee. Water access was good. Bedroom area was fine until power went out. Host guessed this was due to storm or overcast. This was not the case as day we arrived was very sunny and clear skies. In sum, make sure to read through all reviews.
