"This was my mom's "Bucket List" trip to Big Bend, so we wanted to let her pick someplace special, and this was it. Honestly, the trip wouldn't have been the same if we'd stayed elsewhere. First, the location was SO close to the park on one side, and town on the other...but had plenty of space/privacy around it, with views of the mountains, sunset, and the fascinating ruin of the old Terlingua schoolhouse (photos of the sunset coming through it were beautiful). The house itself is beautiful—my mom went for the local, warm-colored decorating scheme. It has plenty of character while being spotlessly clean and well appointed. Personally, I loved the many different indoor and outdoor places to sit and entertain—we tried to use them all and still didn't! A lovely place for a big family, or a few sets of friends/couples to spend time together. It is very accurately described, with clear instructions. Do note that the three spaces (and bedrooms) have separate entries; this worked well for our family, which has bigger (11-13) kids who we put in the main house, my mom in the attached house, and my husband and me in the Casita. The hosts were extremely friendly and helpful. Highly, highly recommend!!!!"
