About this property

Container Home @ Stardust Big Bend 5 min from Park

Summary:

Welcome to Stardust Big Bend in Terlingua. We mainly offer luxury A-Frames, but this is our budget-friendly option: the container home. Central location on the main highway — 5 minutes to the national park, 3 to the ghost town. Full kitchen with all cooking essentials. The container is cozy, but you can spread out next door in our large clubhouse: pool table, air hockey, foosball, arcade games & darts. Unwind in our new shared barrel sauna. With 12 rentals total, large groups can stay together.



The Space:

This is our budget-friendly option, so the rates are low compared to our more luxurious cabins. However, you still benefit from the great location (5 mins from the park and the ghost town) and amenities such as the clubhouse. Being a container, everything is a bit tight as containers are only 8 feet wide. We have two bedrooms, each with a queen bed. There is a full kitchen with all the cooking essentials, pots/pans, utensils, plates, silverware, spices, oil, coffee, creamer, and sugar provided. We have a shower and restroom, and we provide clean white linen and towels. There is a full fridge, freezer, oven, and stove available so you can cook and save money.



The clubhouse is next door with a pool table, arcade games, giant air hockey, foosball, dart board games, and more. You have 24/7 access to the clubhouse.



There is a barrel sauna that you can use dry or wet (steam). Other than the many health benefits of using a sauna, it can help your sore muscles relax after a hard day of hiking.



On the outside, we have four chairs around a fire pit. You get a gorgeous view of the Chisos Mountains while sitting outside. The container is close to the road, so there will be some lights from the cars passing on the road, however, you are able to move the chairs to the other side if desired or sit outside the clubhouse.



If you understand that this is a container home and you will be spending much of your day in the park, then you will be satisfied. If you want lots of room to move around, then this is probably not a good fit for you. You can hang out in the clubhouse if you feel a bit tight in the container home.



We also have an on-site guest laundry with a washer and dryer. We provide the laundry detergent for your convenience.



There is a charcoal BBQ grill next to the Container. We provide grilling utensils, lighter fluid, and a lighter.



We have level-2 EV chargers on site to charge your Tesla (NACS) or non-Tesla (J1772) electric vehicles. There is an additional $30 fee to use the EV charger if needed (charged for each night of the booking).



We have backup Generac generators for the full facility. Power outages are frequent in the area (sometimes 2-3 times per month) and we are one of the very few properties in the area with backup power. You don't want to be stuck in a vacation rental when the power goes out. Temperatures can be extreme at any time of the year in the Big Bend.



Guest Access:

You will be given the door code to enter your unit. You have access to the entire container home, the outside seating, the fire pit, and the clubhouse. Please stay on the walkways and don't wander off the walkways or near other cabins to give everyone their privacy.



The Neighborhood:

Well, we are in the desert. There is not much of a neighborhood as we have vast empty spaces around us, yet close to the park and restaurants. The Ghost Town is 3 mins away, Big Bend National Park is 5 mins, Lajitas is 15 mins. There are very few properties nearby. The back side of our property has Cigar Mountain, there is only one vacation rental on it that is visible from the property. Other than that you have unrestricted views of Big Bend National Park, Chisos Mountains, Santa Elena Canyon, and other nearby mountains.



Getting Around:

A car is essential to get around. Some businesses in town offer jeep rentals for your off-roading adventures



Other Things to Note:

Please specify the correct number of people when booking.



Pets are not allowed. If we do find out you brought a pet (which we almost always do when guests try to break the rules), there will be $199 extra cleaning fee and any damage by the pet will also be charged to your card.



Interaction with Guests:

Please send a message in the app. We will respond promptly. If you don't get a response in 30 mins, feel free to call us
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and a desk.

Great stay

We stayed with the hopes of seeing the Milky Way in the Dark Sky area. Unfortunately, Mother Nature had other plans with unusual storms in the area. Our stay in the container was great! We had everything we needed to be able to cook dinner then breakfast before heading to Big Bend NP. The owners sent a good amount of information before our trip with helped tremendously!

We enjoyed our stay at Stardust. Our family of 4 had plenty of sleeping space in the container unit. In order to spread out a bit in the evening we made use of the clubhouse which had a big island where we set up to watch basketball and football games, while playing darts or air hockey during the breaks. We unfortunately didn't get to appreciate the night sky since we were there on one of the rare rainy stretches. We appreciated the very close proximity to Big Bend National Park which we visited every day during our stay (only about 5 minutes away from the Study Butte/Terlingua entrance station). We made use of the kitchen in our unit every morning and it had everything we needed to prep simple meals (plenty of pans, plates, toaster, etc). We would recommend this place to anyone interested in being close to the national park for daily excursions.

Fantastic Retreat in the Big Bend area!

Our goal during a bucket list trip to Big Bend National Park was to spend a full day hiking and enjoying the desert environment knowing we had a comfortable place to relax after a long day in the park. Stardust's Big Bend was perfect and exceeded all expectations! Hosts were prompt, thorough and thoughtful while returning any inquiry we had, large or small. We stayed at the Container unit and enjoyed new appliances, fresh linens, and a full kitchen... all impeccably clean. The entire complex grounds were groomed, clean and safe. While we didn't use the club house, we did check in and could see how it would be a great asset to guests with kids and teens. The night sky was wonderful and the hosts' focus on night time light discipline made it possible. Location was a big plus with immediate proximity to Terlingua and only minutes away from Lajitas and the Big Bend National Park. Stardust Big Bend played a significant role in helping create the perfect Big Bend get away. Hands down, we'll be back and we'll stay at Stardust Big Bend. Fantastic experience. Great job, and thank you!
