Villa Rica: Adobe 3 Bed, 2 Bath Family Home, Spectacular View, Secure Yard, Pets
About this house rental
Located in State of Coahuila, this lovely house for $420 per night is a fantastic choice for your next break. Join us for a relaxed stay in a comfortable private adobe home, with a secure enclosed yard. It is situated on Comanche Mesa near Lajitas, and has expansive views of the Sierra Rica mountains in Mexico, Mesa de Anguila in the National Park just to the south, and Lajitas Mesa to the north. The house is a locally-owned, lived-in family home, not a boutique hotel, and we have all amenities to make it a great base for exploring the Big Bend area. We do not use a management company. Traditional, unpretentious and well-equipped, it has power and water, climate control, wifi, a fully equipped kitchen, gas barbecue, two outdoor porches, and an enclosed yard. We sleep up to 8 in 3 bedrooms with QUEEN beds, plus a double fold-out sofa bed in the living room, and there are two bathrooms. Ask about our discount if you only need 2 bedrooms, to sleep a max of 6 people. The third bedroom can be locked off from the rest of the house. This was my French mother-in-law’s much loved home, hence the mid century furniture, and you will notice some French decor, including her intriguing handmade tapestries. We have stellar views in every direction, and the dark skies of the Big Bend allow spectacular nightly stargazing. The front and back verandahs invite you to hang out, and the enclosed yard means you can let your dog - or child - roam free. Dine inside or out, using our fully equipped homely kitchen and propane BBQ on back porch. We are only a five minute drive to Lajitas Golf Resort on the banks of the Rio Grande, bring your clubs! There is also a convenient river access five minutes away (just west of Lajitas on Hwy 170) if you wish to take yourselves down to the river for a swim or a paddle. For other activities, based in and near Lajitas are two options of horse-riding stables, and a zip-line adventure. Easy access to hiking and biking in the Big Bend Ranch State Park with the BBRSP headquarters, the Barton Warnock Centre just a quarter mile from the house. We are 15 minutes to the restaurants and sights of Terlingua, and only 30 minutes to the west entrance of the Big Bend National Park. Our 5 star reviews from happy guests include: “Perfect for our needs…”, “Everything we needed, very well-supplied…”, “Amazing host…”, “Super comfy and spotlessly clean…”, “Spectacular views…”, “Great location…”, “Utmost coziness…”, “Completely stocked, would give more than 5 stars….”, “Exceptional communication…”

Exceptionally clean. As advertised. Super quiet w amazing access to state and national parks. Lots of space. It was nice there were a few condiments and spices and soaps provided. Would stay here again if we come back to the area. Jane was excellent. There were even treats and toys for our dog. Thank you for having us!

It is a beautiful location close to the parks and dining. The house was clean and well-equipped. We enjoyed the spectacular views and star gazing.

What a great place. Perfect for us. The house had every thing we needed. Sunrises and sunsets. And stargazing.

You couldn’t do better than this comfortable home in unbeatable location. We booked here for a book and then were lucky to be able to extend our stay three more days. AC is necessity and this home had it!!! We’d hike early for several hours and hangout at home during the heat of the day.
Let me comment about another recent guest’s venomous complaint about the toilet system. First, the toilets worked perfectly if you follow instructions to only have the waste in toilet and put used TP in closed trash container. Second, there is over ample supply of trash bags so you don’t need to keep the used TP in the bathroom if your nose is over-sensitive. Third, that is how one integrates modern life with arid desert environments. I would have happily stayed here if there had only been pit toilets!!
This house has the superb feature of having fully walled yard which was perfect for our dogs. That is such a big bonus.
4.0
The sunset, sunrise and night sky view from the front yard is magnificent! The house is acceptably appointed and quite functional. The third bedroom off the kitchen, former garage, is spacious, but can be noisy from early risers. The toilet system is miserable. No toilet paper is allowed in the toilet. The toilets don’t flush well and don’t handle solid waste efficiently.
The location is superb. It’s close to a beautiful drive and a slot canyon hike in Big Bend State Park. That’s a must see. It’s also very close to the national park entrance for easy access.
All in all if you can get past the toilet thing it’s a great place to stay. The host is easy to contact and communicates frequently.

House was so perfect for us! Clean and super comfortable. Loved the covered outdoor patio. Sunsets were unbelievable! Kitchen had everything we needed for cooking in each night. Beds were amazing! Grill was very nice! Loved having the laundry available to use. No complaints! Highly recommend.

This property's view is very special and beautiful. I love to watch sunrise and sunset from there. I also like how it was decorated.
However there were a few things that bother me a lot. It needs a little bit of attention to detail. They are not bad, but I will not give it a five stars. The hangers in the bedrooms don't look good at all. Looks like they are all freebies. The coffee maker was not clean. Tile floor is slippery and some of the tiles are loose. Bed header was cracked.

The house is comfortable with a good kitchen. Outdoor garden areas are exceptional, good for meals outdoors or just finding a nice spot to sit.

Lovely home with everything we needed. Sunrises and sunsets were stunning. We found we loved the quiet Lajitas side of things compared to Terlingua. We were within minutes of the state park, Lajitas, and Terlingua and about 20 minutes from the national park. This is a well cared for property. Jane is a great host and checked in with us frequently. The fenced in desert landscaping was so pretty. What a treat!

Had a great time exploring Big Bend from this lovely home. Suited our family of five just fine. Felt like staying in someone’s home rather than a furnished apartment. Would definitely recommend!
5.0
The house and property were lovely and clean, and the kitchen was well equipped. It is close to the Lajitas Resort and restaurant, where we had some good breakfasts. We enjoyed the beautiful sunrises and the clear star-filled skies from the nice chairs by the porch. It is great location to explore the Big Bend area.
5.0
My wife and I traveled with another couple on a motorcycle trip from Austin to this destination. Jane was an amazing host and guide from before we arrived as well as during our stay. Including helping me find some contacts to help with a mechanical issue. Above and beyond expected. The property is in a magical place with amazing 360 views and a quiet peacefulness. Spent each night relaxing on the patio, watching stars and relaxing. Location minutes from tons of beautiful hiking trails. Looking forward to going back

This is our 5th year coming to run the Big Bend Ultra and this property was by far the best we’ve stayed in. We were pleasantly surprised by it’s proximity to the Barton Warnock center, which made it easy since several of us ran different length races. The property is exactly as it is presented and Jane is a very accommodating hostess! We had everything we needed and more, even games, books and movies. The outdoor areas are awesome with lots of comfortable seating in which we star-gazed each evening. I especially loved the hammock! We also appreciated that she responded so quickly to messages and questions. Probably the most excellent surprise was waiting on our furry friend, Jedda! The basket full of balls, toys and treats, as well as the thought behind it, was spectacular and appreciated! Old sheets are provided and it is requested that you throw one on the furniture if you enjoy cuddling with your furry friends! This was unexpected as it wasn’t the typical “Please, keep your animals off the furniture.” This gesture demonstrated that Jane truly wanted us to consider this “home away from home!” We will be back next year! -Jenn Richardson (DFW, TX)

The home was a great starting point for exploring the Big Bend area. Plenty of space for everyone and so handy to have the resort close by for necessities and breakfast!

The location is ideal for either the national or state park. We love Lajitas so it was convenient to the resort. The house is well maintained and supplied. Great sunsets!
5.0
Highly recommended! The house had everything thing we needed. Jane has thoughtfully provided for your stay and was fabulous with communication. The location is excellent- quiet, scenic and walkable to the Lajitas store and trails, including one trail into the National Park. It is a half mile from the Barton Warnock Ranger Station and the Contrabando trails in the State Park. Very, very clean and as pictured.
5.0
Our trip this time included some close family friends and our adult daughter and her boyfriend. We spilt our time between the national park and the state park so the house is in the perfect location for that. The pictures online of the home don’t do it justice, the house was exactly what we were looking for. Jane was easy to deal with, check in and check out was simple. There is a book of instructions in the house to help you with all the systems of the home and everything is labeled making it easy to find. Would highly recommend this home to anyone needed a house in the Big Bend area.

Well equipped home in a great location to explore the Big Bend area. Plenty of room for our family - enjoyed steaks on the grill and prepared Thanksgiving dinner as well! Thank you for your warm hospitality, Jane!

Everything with the rental was great from the cleanliness, ease of check in and communication with owner, to check out. The home contained everything we needed for our stay. The kitchen was well supplied with anything and everything we needed for cooking and preparing meals.
Although the location is a little far from BBNP, we knew that before booking. The house and amenities were worth driving a little extra....because let's face it...everything in the area is a bit of a drive! Lol!
The owner was very helpful in assisting us in locating and returning some jewelry that was accidentally left behind.

Thanks so much Jane for being an amazing host! We spent 6 days hiking around both Big Bend State & National Parks. Staying in Lajitas was perfect. Views were serene, house was clean and more than accommodating. Would definitely stay here again. Can't wait to return.

This is a great house and me and my family had a great stay. It was spotlessly clean. Very well stocked kitchen and game shelf. We spent most of our time on the spacious east-facing patio. The house exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend it.

Excellent stay
We stayed here for 4 nights while exploring the Big Bend/Terlingua area. This property makes a great base for regional exploring and is very comfortable with everything you need. The real plus was having a fenced yard for our young son and small dog to play in. The host Jane was also very communicative and helpful. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend.

Location was lovely in the heart of Big Bend and the stay calming and delightful. Everything was available...well equipped kitchen, plenty of clean sheets and towels and enjoyable interiors. Yards around the gated home and the front and side porches provided utmost coziness with all required amenities including a cute hammock. Water was abundant and host has been super communicative. We strongly recommend this property to interested parties. Thanks so much for being great hosts!

We had two couples and two kids and we all had enough space and the fenced in yard was great for kids safety. The home owner even left additional plug covers for us to use to protect the kids. Super close to Lajitas resort and about 30 minutes to the Big Bend park entrance. It was quiet and the view was spectacular

What a beautiful place to stay while visiting Big Bend Country! This a great home base while venturing out and exploring. Jane's property is very clean and comfortable. The three bedroom two bath layout was perfect for us, and the 2 other couples that we travel with. The kitchen has everything you need for at home meal preparation, yet close enough to visit the excellent area restaurants. The yard is clean, beautifully landscaped, and fenced which was a safe enclosure for our English Springer, where she loved to run and play. Communication with the owner was exceptional and she was quick to respond to our needs and my many questions. Check in and check out was also a breeze and we would definitely choose this property again when back in the area.
FIVE STARS!!! You won't be disappointed should you choose to stay here. Look no further, you found the perfect place!
