Spirit House in the Terlingua Ghost Town

• Short walk to all the Ghost Town favorites
• Surrounded by authentic mining era ruins
• Located in the Historic Ghost Town
• Open concept living, dining, kitchen. Private bedroom and bathroom

The Space:
Spirit House is a custom built house located in the historic Terlingua Ghost Town. Ideally suited for two guests, but it can sleep four if the living room futon is used as a spare bed. If you want to experience all that the Terlingua and the Big Bend has to offer, this is the place you want to be. Take a short walk to anywhere in the Ghost Town. Drive a few minutes to the western entrance to Big Bend National Park or any of the Terlingua based adventure outfitters. Relax inside an eco-friendly home designed with lots of ghost town accents. Hang out on the private deck and enjoy the Chisos Mountain views. Sleep comfortably on a high quality mattress with fresh linens. Prepare your own meals, snacks, and drinks in the small kitchen. Enjoy live music, drinks, dining, and art at all the local venues and shops.

Walk to all the Ghost Town favorites. It's quicker to walk than drive to Starlight Theater, Espresso y Poco Mas, Earth & Fire Gallery, the famous Trading Post porch, the Boat House Bar, or the Ghost Town cemetery. It's a just few minutes by foot to Rustic Iron BBQ, Taqueria Milagro, or High Sierra Bar & Grill.

Enjoy the natural wonders of the Big Bend by heading into Big Bend National Park or Big Bend Ranch State Park. You'll have endless hiking, driving, sightseeing, birdwatching, and star gazing opportunities. Kick the adventure up a notch with the help of one or more of the many local adventure outfitters. River trips, horseback riding, jeep tours, ATV tours, guided hikes, mountain bike rentals. You'll be in the middle of it all.

The house has a cozy bedroom with a high quality queen size bed, a full bathroom, open concept living room, dining area, and small kitchen. The living room has a queen size futon for extra bedding. There is also an elevated deck for enjoying mountain views and watching locals and tourists. There is also a charcoal grill for outdoor cooking. Guests need to provide there own charcoal, but there is often some left by prior guests.

Spend your time relaxing, seeking adventure, or partying like a local. Come down for two night or several. No matter how long you stay, you'll wish you could stay longer. That's okay though. You can always come back.

The house is professionally managed by the Big Bend's longest serving vacation rental management company, Big Bend Vacation Rentals. As your hosts, we'll be prepared to meet your needs and exceed your expectations. We treat all of our guests they way that we would want to be treated. Our goal is for you to happily recommend us to your friends and for you to come back again and again.

We manage several properties and live a few miles away. We are available by phone, text, email, or messages through Airbnb. We are typically only on site for cleaning or maintenance issues.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Other standard amenities include a sofa bed and a coffee maker.

This property has a wonderful porch to enjoy coffee in the morning, and wine, etc in the evening. The shower is large and plenty of towels. The bed was comfortable. Kitchen was well stocked. Explicit instructions provided for checkout. Plus sent us instructions how to get to the place, gps will not work. We hiked in Big Bend while staying at this home.

Peaceful Oasis

We loved this place! It was comfortable and peaceful, and cuter than you can tell by the pictures. The light from the high windows is lovely. The location is terrific. We saw the Milky Way from the front yard every morning when we got up early to hit the trails in Big Bend before it got hot.

We loved the house. The decor and attention to detail were great!

This was our first time visiting a desert area. We loved being able to walk to the old cemetary, ghost town and restaurants. Close to Big Bend Nat. Park where we did a lot of exploring

Great front porch, quirky location

Comfortable, very clean 1 BR house in Terlingua. Kitchen well-stocked for cooking at home. Very good grocery store in Study Butte. Suggest improved kitchen lighting. Pots and pans, knives, and dishes all good quality. Interesting community with a history of recreating itself as the mines closed and population dispersed. Great location for a week of hiking at Big Bend Natl Park.

The property was a perfect location in Terlingua. There were 2 great restaurants within walking distance from the house. It had a coffee maker with ground coffee provided, and creamer and sweeteners. Only a short drive to Big Bend. I would stay here again any time.
