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.

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.

Clean, comfortable and very close to big bend NP. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the creek house. The home sits immediately next to terlingua creek, which makes for pleasant scenery. Some of the buildings/businesses nearby are a little rundown but the immediate view from the porch is lovely. Beds were comfortable and the kitchen accommodated our needs. We would have liked to see a larger selection of cookware - in particular we were needing a cutting board which was not present - but that was only a minor inconvenience. Overall the location so close to Big Bend and the huge comfortable porch make for a combination that’s hard to beat. We’ll definitely be back next year.

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!

Rustic but very comfortable in a rustic area. The beds are comfortable, the air conditioners were cold, and the house was clean and well stocked. The bathrooms were clean and well supplied. Checking in and entering the house was very easy. Check out was as easy as a text saying we were gone. The town is very rustic and real close to Terlingua Ghost town, and Lajitas. And very close to the Big Bend National Park West Entrance.

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 budget option

This was a good place for us to stay and I’d stay there again given the same circumstances. There are some rough edges and differed maintenance that would be good to do but if you are ok with a place that isn’t perfect then feel comfortable booking.

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.

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!

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.
