Great place near Big Bend
This house has all the amenities of home while being off the grid. Everything was great. The WiFi, water, electricity all were great. House was easy to find just make sure you put the address or coordinates in before you lose cell signal. Area is secluded and very quiet. It was the quietest place we had ever been. You literally could not hear anything outside. It was really cool. House isn’t far from Terlingua and big bend. Only 20-30 mins maybe. I would come back and stay there again.

A great get away with perfect views.
This property is a beautiful and peaceful getaway, perfect for escaping the city and enjoying the star-filled night sky. The container home itself was clean and well-maintained, with a great rooftop deck for taking in the surroundings. While we appreciated the peaceful setting, there was an issue with the septic system that caused a persistent odor throughout our stay. The host was quick to respond when we reported the problem, but the problem could not be fixed during our visit. Unfortunately, due to the ongoing issue, we ultimately decided to cut our trip short. Would come again in the future.

Had a great time in this quaint getaway house. Everything is provided there for you. You just gotta bring your own eats and drinks. Host was very helpful with directions and responses to questions. Will definitely keep this place on my list to revisit.
