About this house rental

Nestled in Big Bend National Park, this charming house for $153 per night is a fantastic choice for your next vacation. This is one of the very few nightly rentals that provides an automatic backup generator in the event of power outage to south Brewster County. Bring your camera and get ready to relax! Drive or Fly-in! The choice is yours. We take great pains to insure that our facility is sanitized and disinfected as much as possible between visiting guests. This is a 107 acre property full of wildlife, cactus, birds and hiking. This is a NON-smoking and No Pet rental. There is a $250 fee for violation of either of these policies. This property is accessible by car (the last 3 miles is a well maintained gravel road). The RV is a 34' 2018 Jayco Eagle Series bumper pull with two queen beds. This RV is equipped with huge flat screen TV, wifi, bluetooth stereo, double-door refrig/freezer, oven, range, outdoor gas grill, a gas griddle and a wood fired barbque pit with mesquite provided. This also comes equipped with 2 factory A/Cs and central heat, coffee pot with timer and a counter top icemaker. You will also find on-site a large charcoal/wood bar-b-q pit and lots of mesquite wood to cook with. Also at the disposal of the customer is a 10'x 45' covered wooden deck with chairs and a ceiling mounted mister system for hot summer days. Beautiful views of Bell Mountain, White Horse Mtn and the Christmas Mtns can all be seen from this vantage point, none more than a mile and a half from the porch. This deck is also equipped with five 8' roll down screens for additional comfort from extreme heat. Of course there is a propane gas fire pit and a Chiminea with ample pinion pine firewood for cold winter days and nights. Enjoy the viewing of scaled quail, eurasian and white winged doves, mule deer, javelina, fox, coyote, ravens and red-tailed hawks. Blackbear, mountain lions and bobcats have also been seen close to the house. Absolutely no hunting or discharge of firearms is allowed. This home is completely dependant on rainfall. We request that all visitors limit their water consumption. These quarters come with a 6 gallon water heater which helps reduce long showers.

You are welcome to bring your own mountain bikes, ATV’s or UTV’S and ride out right from your front door. This property is a scenic 40 minute drive from the National Park.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We wanted to be able to explore Big Bend National Park a few days and also enjoy the dark sky and stars. Staying here allowed us to do both. We were blessed with also striking up a friendship with the owners. They were a delightful couple, interesting to chat with and very accommodating.

If you need a place to lay your head, the r.v. is perfect. It shares a covered area with the main house where the owners reside but they give you space. The r.v. is quite spacious and offers many accommodations like satellite tv and there is also a hot tub available. If you are looking for a more intimate setting, the barndomenium is it! Tucked in behind the main house and r.v., the barndo has its own hot tub and wildlife comes right up to the area to feed. Perfect for those that may find life easier with a bath tub and more of a home away from home feel. The dark sky rule makes for a wonderful time to see the night sky and shooting stars. Even with the 6 gallon hot water heater, there was plenty of water to bathe and shower comfortably. Be sure to bring bottled water for drinking but there is some drinking water provided in case you forget. It is a good 20 miles to the gas station so plan accordingly. And, if you can handle dirt roads (that were freshly grated when we went so it was extremely bumpy) then you will love it here! We will definitely be coming back with our family next time!

We made a concerted effort to reach this location before dark and it’s a good thing we did. This is dark sky territory and it is absolutely breathtaking. It’s like being able to see EVERY SINGLE STAR! Our short stay included sightings of deer, javelina, wild burros and coyotes. Our hosts were wonderful. Highly recommended!

Our first trip to Big Bend and we had so many adventures! We saw so much wildlife from the camper from the minute we arrived. So quiet and peaceful and the hot tub much welcomed after days of hiking. It's not complicated to find but if you prefer to navigate via google maps download one prior as there is no service after the main road turn off. We had a wonderful time!
