About this property

Terlingua Creek Porch House: On Terlingua Creek

  • Summary:
    Conveniently located two-bedroom two-bathroom home with porch overlooking Terlingua Creek

    The Space:
    Terlingua Creek Porch House is a two and one half bedrooms, two bath vacation home overlooking Terlingua Creek. Conveniently located just off highway 170 in Terlingua, with a porch overlooking a spring fed section of Terlingua Creek. This comfortable and convenient home is an ideal base for all of your Terlingua and Big Bend adventures.

    The home has a private dining room, fully stocked kitchen, living room, two full bathrooms, and two and a half bedrooms. The master bedroom has a queen bed and private bathroom with a spacious shower. The second bedroom has two twin beds. There is also a semi-private space connected to the living room that has a twin bed and a small desk. With one queen and three twin beds, the Creek House sleeps five comfortably.

    Covered Porch Overlooking the Creek: The signature feature of this vacation getaway is the spacious covered porch overlooking a spring fed portion of Terlingua Creek. Water is rare in the desert, but always in view just below our porch. In true Terlingua style, there is also a small, movable bar on the porch.

    Fire Pit: Starry skies and morning coffee are best enjoyed beside our rock lined fire pit. Be sure to bring firewood. Small bundles of firewood can be purchased from the nearby Cottonwood General Store.

Great location when visiting Big Bend

Property worked great for 3 adults. Location was great and property had everything we needed. Appreciated the prior arrival instructions as Terilingua groceries and gas options are very limited.

Terlingua Creek Porch House Stay

Very peaceful location. The porch is amazing with beautiful sunsets and a great fire pit. Beds are comfortable and the kitchen well equipped, even more so now since I forgot my favorite spatulas. Ha! Will definitely stay again.

Terlingua Creek Porch House

Excellent location - convenient to Big Bend & Terlingua. Access via a nursery and "retired vehicle" storage lot - however very quiet. Very comfortable beds, lots of towels, large covered patio for enjoying evenings. Hosts were responsive to questions and provided for easy checkin/checkout process.

Great visit

The Creek house was exactly as listed. The porch alone is worth the stay with great views of Terlingua Creek. We enjoyed evenings with the fire pit and sky views. Exactly what we need in the desert, nothing fancy but comfortable and easy access to BBNP.

Great house in great location

Loved the location of the house. It was just a couple of miles from the Terlingua Ghost Town (where there are several great places to eat) and the businesses that provide Big Bend tours. Also just a few miles from the entrance to Big Bend National Park.

Base for exploring the park

Spent the weekend exploring Big Bend Park with friends. This was a quiet, practical place to serve as base camp. We had all the amenities needed as well as close to restaurants for evening dinners.

Perfect for our little adventurers

We really enjoyed our stay here. The house is a bit dated inside, but beds were clean and comfy, the kitchen had all we needed, and the creek was really enjoyable. My 7yr thought it was a perfect spot for us. My husband and i enjoyed the porch overlooking the creek and the stars at night.

Terlingua Creek Time

The house was clean, well -equipped, and the plumbing worked! Two bathrooms was a bonus for 4 senior brothers. The location was perfect for hiking in Big Bend and visiting friends' graves in the Terlingua Ghost Town Cemetery.

Great place for access to Big Bend

The location of the Terlingua Creek Porch House is perfect for access to Big Bend NP. The bed rooms were nice and the beds comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped. A big plus was that necessary items such as detergent, paper towels, soaps, shampoos, and even coffee, sugar, and creamer were provided. The porch facing the creek is beautiful but it was just too cold to take advantage of it. When we come back to Big Bend we will definitely check on the availability of the Porch House.

Porch House is Great

This was our second time at the Porch House. Came for the Cook-off and also had a great time with family on the porch overlooking Terlingua Creek. House was clean and perfect for 5 adults. There is a nice kitchen and 2 full baths. There is also a grill on the porch that invites you to cook out. We didn't as our time was limited and we wanted to visit several spots while in Terlingua.

Perfect basecamp for Big Bend Natl Park and surrounding area

The Porch House was just what we needed as a basecamp to explore Big Bend. We were comfortable, and the property owners were communicative and provided a lot of information beforehand. The house is not "fancy" - in keeping with Terlingua - but we enjoyed dinner on the fabulous porch and were comfortable here. It is very close to Far Flung Outdoor Center, a couple of restaurants, and of course the edge of BBNP. Night skies are amazing, and it was a quiet environment every night, even with La Kiva and a little live music across the creek.

This home is a gem. We arrived pretty worn out from the long drive and truthfully we weren't expecting anything special, but this place was definitely a surprise. It has a charm that is unique, it was very clean and so well stocked with everything you'd need for a comfortable vacation stay. There is ample space, four comfortable beds and two bathrooms. The kitchen had everything we needed as well as beautiful propane bbq pit right on the back patio. There is an HD smart T.V. and very good wifi, but spotty cell reception in the area (which is a small sacrifice for such serenity) The porch house was absolutely perfect, and as the name suggests, the porch, which is basically a huge covered patio overlooking Terilingua creek, is amazing! The veiw is so beautiful and omg the stars at night were the best I've seen in my life. This is the perfect spot for a family to stay who wants to enjoy Big Bend, but still stay somewhere comfortable. Will definitely be back!

Consumer, beware.

The property and property management was great. Too bad Vrbo's service was not. Vrbo's service fee did not warrant the frustration and confusion over a billing issue. I feel a refund for service fee is due. They seem to be ignoring the problem in my request for a refund and their poor integration system with Big Bend Vacation Rentals. And even go so far as to blame it on the management of the property. Come on Vrbo get your act together. Quit putting the consumer between your problems with the management of the properties you represent. And then having the consumer pay for it.

This house was an oasis after the Big Bend Utra race. The house has a wonderful outdoor patio that overlooks the Terlingua river. The house has everything one would need and is in a convenient location to the Ghost Town. Definitely recommend a stay with Big Bend Vacation rentals.

Daryl & Janet were very welcoming. The house was clean and comfortable and stocked with everything we needed... even games for us to play in the evening! The patio had a beautiful vista... overlooking Terlingua Creek. It was a great spot to dine out, star gaze and roast marshmallows. Our adult family of 4 had plenty of room. We loved our stay & highly recommend the Terlingua Creek Porch House!
