Minutes from Terlingua and Big Bend National Park. The Space: Step back in time at this vintage Terlingua adobe. La Paloma Triste is an ideal escape from the madness of modern life. This is the quintessential Terlingua vacation home. La Paloma Triste (The Sad Dove) is a classic adobe home near Willow Spring and just minutes from Terlingua with excellent views of the Chisos Mountains and Willow Mountain. Built in the 80’s, with antique doors, windows, fixtures, and furnishings reclaimed from much older homes in Mexico and the Southwest, this cozy home blends modern conveniences with genuine rustic charm. Whether relaxing by the wood burning stove or enjoying the views from the porch swing, you’ll feel as if you stepped back in time to the pioneer days of the Wild West. There is plenty of room to relax with two bedrooms, a full kitchen, a large living room, one and a half bathrooms, a spacious porch and covered parking, not to mention forty private acres of pristine desert habitat. The main bedroom features a queen sized four poster bed, antique armoire, antique dresser and a private bath with a shower. The second bedroom has two walls full of windows with breathtaking views of the Chisos Mountains and nearby Bee Mountain. The living room has an antique wood burning stove (wood provided), rustic built-in shelves filled with artifacts and other items of local interests, and comfortable seating. The fully stocked kitchen has a new gas stove, antique sink, rustic shelving, and a classic pine and cedar table that was built by the owners. The large back porch has a porch swing for two with amazing views of the Chisos Mountains and Bee Mountain. The carport protects your vehicle from the west Texas sun and our infrequent storms. Of course, the main attractions are outside. Take time to enjoy the solitude of the Chihuahuan desert and Willow Spring. The area around the house is landscaped with native plants, interesting rocks, and rusty pioneer artifacts that were collected over many years by the original owner. You will also want to visit Big Bend National Park, the Rio Grande River, Big Bend Ranch State Park, Terlingua Ghost Town, and our various restaurants and shops. If you don’t have time on this trip, you’re welcome to return again and again. The views of the night sky are beyond simple description. The Big Bend region has the darkest nights (lowest light pollution) of anywhere in the continental US. As the song says, “the stars at night are big and bright deep in the heart of Texas”. They’re even bigger and brighter here in the Bend. When the moon is out, you’ll be amazed at how bright and clear it shines. When the moon is not out, you’ll be stunned by the countless stars and the light and dark bands of the Milky Way. In the hour or two after sunset and before sunrise, you can often see the International Space Station and other satellites racing across the night sky. Shooting stars are visible throughout the year, especially during the Perseid and Geminid meteor showers. Check out “VisitBigBend.com” for suggestions of things to do and see during your stay. Explore the parks, raft the river, go horseback riding, take scenic drives, go mountain biking, visit the ghost town, eat out, enjoy the local nightlife including live music at several small venues, watch the wildlife, or just relax on the porch with your favorite book. Return home exhausted and inspired from endless adventures or well-rested and refreshed from escaping the rush of modern life. The choices are all yours. Regardless of your plans, La Paloma Triste (The Sad Dove) is an ideal home away from home for your visit the Big Bend. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Hob - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1.5 bathrooms - Shower - Towels provided ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Deluxe Cabin, Kitchen, Mountain View | 1 bedroom, down duvets, individually decorated, individually furnished](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/109000000/108290000/108285900/108285829/e4cc9eee.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Stardust Big Bend Luxury A-Frames Terlingua - Kitchen - Parking included - Free Wi-Fi - Air-conditioning 10 Exceptional 42 reviews £328 includes taxes & fees 22 Feb - 23 Feb [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-22&endDate=2026-02-23&selected=108285829&PinnedHotelID=108285829&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![House (2 Bedrooms) | Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/99000000/98560000/98558800/98558773/c26746d6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Vibrant Terlingua Vacation Rental Near Big Bend!

When the water is high you can come down the 1,500 foot walled canyon. With less water flowing, guides take you 3 to 4 miles up the canyon with some spots having to portage. But take it all in stride because the views are breathtaking. I recommend Big Bend River Tours. You might get lucky and have the guides that take you a half mile up a side canyon.

Once you went outside onto the shady back porch you were in the Chihuahuan Desert conveniently observing part of the Guadalupe Mountains. The west entrance to Big Bend National Park was a short drive away. We would definitely consider staying here again. ##### Henry W Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John N. 4 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Felicidad a La Paloma Triste We also stayed here 7 years ago, and this time it was just as good. Clean property, which is not easy in a dusty desert environment. Adobe house never gets too hot even with air conditioners off during the heat of the day. Enjoy the extreme QUIET sitting on porch in the morning and early evening. Probably the best accommodations in the area for 2-4 people wanting to make day trips into Big Bend NP. ##### John N.

Super close to Study Butte and Terlingua, but still very private. Great sunrises and sunsets that you can watch from the front porch. We saw a couple of javelina walk by the first night. No television but we didn’t mind at all, we were busy hiking and exploring, so we went to bed early every night. The WiFi is good if you want to stream something on your phone or laptop. The shower is a little rustic, but it works just fine and there is plenty of hot water. Would definitely stay there again! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2b565c39-f802-41c4-b48f-f3e186053ccd-1745713986917.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/43c62e50-2f58-413d-b42b-0a57553cdedd-1745713986480.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/f317cfb6-5bd8-48d2-86dd-036053c54b1f-1745713986031.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/54a130ec-d25b-4c46-be41-57290b38af34-1745713987011.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Laura J.

The home is small but adequate. We spent very little time there since we were out sightseeing by 8:30 am every day. The Wi-Fi was good, laptop and phones worked well. I got sick, recovered in 24 hrs., & Daryl did arrange for messy laundry to be picked up early rather than let it set. A good time was had. ##### Sandy Byrum S.

The house is beautiful and perfectly captures the west Texas feel. It was very convenient for visiting both the state and national parks and terligua, but off the beaten path enough for some solitude. Kitchen had everything we needed and was very clean. No tv, but that was a plus- more time for star gazing. Only critique was shower pressure was very low, but it wasn't a big issue for us as we were out hiking every day. Would definitely recommend! It exceeded our expectations. ##### Ashley C.

Beds were comfortable. We did not use any kitchen stuff so we are unable to comment on the kitchenware but over all a great place to stay! ##### Amy G. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Colette W. 18 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Beautiful home with a view The home is just as described on the website. Beds are very comfortable and the back porch is nice. It is close to a couple of properties but still very private. Kitchen is well stocked with cooking utensils. Home is very roomy, lots of space to spread out. We had a maintenance issue, I reached out to Janet at 6:45am by email and she responded almost immediately! June/July warning: this is no fault of the property owners but I would heed a warning of a June/July stay due to the extreme heat. Although the home stays comfortable with the 3 window units the kitchen stays in the low 80’s and the water temperature stays almost too hot to shower with. Again this is no fault of the home/owners its just part of the environment. I WOULD absolutely stay here again any of the other 10 months of the year! ##### Colette W.

The home was clean, comfortable and practical for hikers at Big Bend. The drive way is gravel with some sharp turns, so best to get there before dark! ##### Laura V.

The house felt like home right away. It was exactly as described. He felt like we were visiting grandma. The porch swing was a perfect way to end the evening with a glass of wine. Plenty of space to explore. Thank you, I would not change a thing. ##### Brenda V.

It was immaculate when we arrived. The location is fantastic, just a few minutes outside of Terlingua and 10 minutes away from the entrance of Big Bend. The instructions were very easy to understand and made it impossible to get lost. If we return to Big Bend, we’ll rent this cabin again. ##### Justyss W.

The home is located just north of Big Bend National Park, and secluded. Picturesque views anywhere on the property and all the windows provided plenty of natural light and allowed us to enjoy the view inside! The home is beautifully adorned with vintage pieces & decor. I loved the step back in time with still having modern luxuries. I highly recommend this property! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e6e4de0e-d1ee-48f9-ad22-7c0ae50286d3-1748267602223.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/a02bc855-f5a4-4eec-ae7d-d2431d03aca4-1748267609724.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/43722506-3cb7-4ca9-b940-85530b5e48a2-1748267613067.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/41a03173-dfc7-49f3-9aee-052cfb418149-1748267616434.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Lauren R.

The location was excellent- close to town/park, but secluded and private. Coming back after a long day in the park, we relaxed on the porch and star-gazed at night. I highly recommend this house and hope to return again one day. ##### Melissa M.
