"Read your email before heading to the area. The only issue and it was my fault I didn't read the emails, and the closest place to eat or to buy groceries was about 25 miles. Good tip: go to Family Dollar to buy groceries for a lot cheaper. Fill your gas tank before you get to Terlingua."
"Communication and customer service was great. We were instructed.clearly on how to get there, we were able to get to our cabin after the office closed with no issues. The lodge was very cute and very clean. The pool and pool area was also kept clean and the staff at the restaurant was very friendly. Quiet, laid back, and beautiful at night."
"We enjoyed our 2 night stay at the Greasewood Grocery. The cabin is right off the main road headed to Terlingua. It’s is a rain water only non-potable water source, which was not a problem for us. We brought our own water for drinking. The shower has an instant-hot water heater., which worked great. The AC kept us cold. It does have WiFi, but we did not test it during our stay. The host is very friendly and check-in process was simple. Great place to use as a base camp while exploring the Big Bend area. 👍
PS. We did have several people stop by thinking it really was a small grocery store. 😂"
"Our stay at Casita de Chiles was absolutely incredible and became one of our favorite trips we've ever taken. Mark and Michelle were amazing hosts and truly made the experience special. You can tell they genuinely care about both their guests and their property.
The location was exactly what we hoped for — peaceful, remote, and completely off the beaten path. We were surrounded by breathtaking views of the Christmas Mountains and spent our nights under some of the clearest skies we've ever seen. The stargazing alone was worth the trip.
The wildlife experience was unbelievable. During our stay we saw deer, quail, javelina, Mexican cardinals, bats, scorpions under UV light, a tarantula, and even a rattlesnake. It truly felt like stepping into another world.
A major highlight was the excursion with Mark and Michelle. We spent about 6.5 hours covering roughly 52 miles exploring Terlingua Ranch. They showed us incredible canyons, beautiful views, and hidden places we never would have found ourselves. It felt less like a tour and more like spending the day with friends.
And we can’t forget Chula, who completely stole our hearts.
If you want peace, adventure, wildlife, dark skies, and a chance to disconnect and recharge, this place is perfect. We’ll be talking about this trip for a long time and hope to return."

Prickly Pear Cabin near Big Bend NP & SP
10/10 Excellent
"Very remote and awesome place to get away from it all. We got to watch a spectacular metro shower. An unforgettable experience I got to share with my dad."
"Everything about this rental was amazing! The views were gorgeous. The house was spotless, the kitchen had everything you could need, and of course the airplane was the icing on the cake. The location was fantastic-so close to Big Bend, the disc golf course, and the ghost town. Cannot recommend this rental enough!!"
Christmas Mountains Ranch: Classic 2br/1bth Cabin with Spacious Wrap Around Porc
10/10 Excellent
"WOW, this property did NOT disappoint! Perfect for my wife and I, and obviously could have accommodated more people if needed. Everything we needed was there, and they thought of the "little kindnesses" too, like night lights in the hall and bathroom, places to plug in phones, well stocked kitchen, lots of games, etc etc.Our favorite part was watching sunrise and sunset from the front and back porches...indescribably stunning! And, it's super cool to be surrounded basically on 3 sides by Big Bend NP, as that's what we were there for...still gotta drive to it, of course, but the sensation of having it "right there" was super cool. Quiet and private, gorgeous views, comfortable beds, easy-to-use TV system, great instructions and communications.A !!!!"
