3 Bedroom House in Terlingua
Summary:
Wake up to 360° mountain views and fall asleep under some of the darkest skies in Texas. This colorful 3-bedroom, 2-bath Terlingua retreat is designed for connection with two king bedrooms, two twin beds, a fully equipped kitchen, and expansive outdoor living spaces perfect for cooking, gathering, and stargazing. Just a 15-minute drive from Big Bend National Park, it’s the ideal adventure base for groups of friends, couples, or families who want to experience the desert in comfort and style.
The Space:
Colorful 3BR desert retreat in Terlingua with 360° mountain views, a massive outdoor patio, and star-filled skies. Perfect for groups or families exploring Big Bend who want to cook, gather, and soak up the beauty of the desert.
• Outdoor Oasis: A massive patio with a fire ring surrounded by six Adirondack chairs, a covered outdoor kitchen (deep basin sink, fridge, Weber BBQ pit), and a 12-person dining table. Perfect for yoga at sunrise, a campfire at night, and endless stargazing.
• Bedrooms & Baths: Two king bedrooms with blackout curtains and striking mountain views, plus a third bedroom with two twin beds. Two full bathrooms with large showerheads for your group’s comfort. The bathroom shared by the two king bedrooms has in-floor heating.
• Living Areas: Two indoor living rooms provide plenty of space to relax and socialize.
• Indoor Kitchen: Fully equipped and designed with a long buffet counter and picture windows to bring the outside in.
• Views: Christmas Mountains from the back patio, Yellow Mountain from the kitchen and drive, and desert vistas in every direction.
Two important considerations:
1) High clearance vehicles are recommended. The final mile of the drive to the house is on rocky roads with some small hills and some loose rock. A typical sedan can make the drive if the driver is cautious.
2) The rental consists of two separate buildings, connected by a large patio space. This may be of concern to some guests, especially families with small children. See the floorplan in the photos for reference.
LOCAL AREA:
Located on 20 private and seclude acres with unspoiled mountain views and dark skies.
12 miles (15 minutes) to the Maverick Junction entrance to Big Bend National Park or the historic Terlingua Ghost Town
