It was a bit hard to find but it was a lovely place to stay with the Starlight Theater so close. Their coffee shop was a great place for breakfast and right there within reach.

Perfectly located with amazing views

The property was very clean and well kept. The location was a short walking distance to Terlingua ghost town and local restaurants. The views at night were amazing. I stayed with my small dog and she felt right at home. The bed was very comfortable, AC was a nice temperature and the room came with everything I needed. You do have to share a bathroom but I never encountered a line or wait and it was very clean.

Great place!

We loved our stay — the bed was a little creaky but we loved everything else! Might be best for a single person, with two of us we kept each other up by turning around in the creaky bed.

A magical stay!

We LOVED our stay here. The decor and aesthetic made it feel very spa like while also being cozy. It was the perfect place to crash after camping in Big Bend. Great location for enjoying all Terlingua has to offer.

Romantic and comfortable

Beautiful accommodations, very clean and comfortable, especially the bed. The fire pit, lounge chairs, and outdoor kitchen were lovely and there were thoughtful touches such as robes and cookies. This guesthouse is gorgeous and we wished we had booked a longer stay. We highly recommend this guesthouse.

Great spot in the middle of a Texas desert ghost town!

Cute little room with all the amenities you need in the middle of a West Texas ghost town. Right next to all of the bars and restaurants. Bed was super comfy, and the hotel had a lot of places to relax outside and take it all in!

This property is so unique and really fits the vibe of the town. Very cool getting to stay in the ghost town, and the location is great for walking to coffee in the morning and dinner at night! Amazing sunrise views in the morning as well.

Disliked: Amenities
Rooms are clean and well furnished. We were very disappointed that this was a shared bathroom between three rooms with a total of 7 people. Additionally we have to step outside our room and brave the elements to get to the bathroom which was on a slightly higher level. To top it off there was a sign requesting us to deposit used toilet paper in a trash can! The terrain is fully rocky landscape surrounding the rooms and although not too far from the car park it was very difficult to roll our suitcases and walk to our room in addition to having to hoist them up four or five steps. Parking spaces are very tight and difficult to turn the car around. Check other places before considering this particular one!

Great spot!

A great spot just up the hill from the Starlight Theatre & the Trading Post. Unique & cozy. Loved the room, style, decor & thoughtful touches. A/C works great (you just have to point remote directly at the unit to make changes), comfy bed & pillows & extra blanket. Loved the fact there was a ceiling fan to circulate air as well. Loved all the colors & the property. We missed getting to see all the stars this trip due to storms & cloudy sky but want to come back! This is a place you almost don’t want to tell anyone about & want to keep it a secret because of its treasures but that wouldn’t be very good for business ; ) sooooo, this is a great place, you won’t at all be sorry you stayed here : ) great experience thumbs up!!!
