Book a hotel near Santa Elena Canyon, Terlingua

"This is place is for more hardy individuals. Yes, you are in the middle of the desert. There are signs that ask you to limit your shower to 5 minutes. Yes, the bathrooms are shared and you do have to go outside if you want to use the bathroom for any reason. Yes, the cabins are very small and there is no place to put your luggage. (I kept my luggage in the car and would only brings the clothes that I needed in the cabin). It is a bonus that your car is right next to your door. Yes, the microwave is outside and shared. Yes, the bed is on the smaller side and feels and sounds like its covered with a thick plastic coverings. If you can't get over that, then don't book here. I enjoyed my time here depsite all of that because I was there to shower and sleep. My favorite memory is lying on the hammock and night and viewing all the STARS! I did have trouble with the comminication with who runs this place. I called the day before my check in and gave them my credit card info for incidentals and was reassured that the code to my place would be released by check in time (4pm) the following day. 4pm came and went and I heard nothing. I had trouble calling them as my call went through but they could not hear me. I had to go down the street to get Wifi. I did get a text messge giving me my lockbox code. However, they did not tell me WHERE the lock box was. Another guest showed me that the lockbox was located on your porch in a not so obvious area. "

"Clean and easy check in"

"What a place! Stunning! Stunning! And great access to anything that’s important but just staying there is important enough."

"We visited in April of 2023 and loved every minute of our stay. We were very fortunate to be able to add a night at the end of our trip so we could stay for one more night! This is an amazing property to enjoy quiet solitude, the peace of nature all around you and at the same time be just a short drive from Lajitas and Terlingua and a 30-40 minute drive to the entrance of Big Bend National Park. It is super easy to access, right off the highway but road noise is not a problem at all. The property is beautifully designed and very clean! While there are only two single beds in the Air Stream, they are very comfortable and we slept great. The bathhouse is roomy with an indoor and outdoor shower, such a treat after returning from hiking in the park. We spent the majority of the time in the outdoor space; relaxing, grilling, bird watching, enjoying sunrises and sunsets, and the stars are absolutely brilliant! Even in the heat of the afternoon there always seemed to be a breeze to keep us cool while relaxing. Lots of people ride motorcycles in the area so for those of you thinking about riding I will add this: we trailered ours and there was plenty of room to load/unload the bikes and leave the trailer in front. We were able to park both bikes and our trunk in the shade of the cover next the airstream. We would absolutely book this property again in the future!"

"Really enjoyed staying here! The location is about 20 minutes away from Big Bend and is located right next to several fabulous restaurants (Starlight Theater, Cafe Y poco mas). Everything at the property was incredibly clean, and there were no issues sharing a bathroom with other guests. The shared outdoor spaces were wonderful for watching stars. Would absolutely recommend this place and would stay here again!"

"Big Bend National Park is wonderful."
