We wash linens with free-and-clear laundry soap and unscented dryer sheets, and we keep scented cleaners to a minimum. The goal is a clean house that doesn’t smell like product.

This property is two wings, separated by a private outdoor courtyard. You need to go through the courtyard to get to the other room.


This is a quiet and safe neighborhood.
The Terlingua school and track are next door. You may walk the track respectfully before 7:30 AM and after 4:00 PM on school days. It is available on weekends assuming no sporting events are taking place. This is a dark part of town, the school does not keep any intrusive lights on at night.

This is a dark-sky neighborhood. After dark, use red light when you can, and watch where car headlights point so they don’t shine into other casitas.
Sound travels far in the desert. Please keep voices and music low after dark so everyone can enjoy the quiet. We do not mediate routine noise complaints between guests. If something is truly excessive or unsafe, message us on your booking platform.

Hosted by a local team with 10 years of experience managing top rentals in the area.

Events:
This listing is one casita, not a venue rental. If you want an event, extra visitors, vendors, or hired staff, you must rent the full property (all 10 casitas) and get approval from us first. Message us and we will put a custom package together. A separate venue agreement will apply. Unapproved events are subject to a $1,000 fine. An event includes but is not limited to a ceremony, dinner for extra people, tents, DJ or projected sound, generator, catering, lighting, décor, hair and makeup stations, dinner scapes, media, paid photoshoots, and commercial photography. Do not list this address as a venue. The guest does not have the right to sublet the premises.

How to reach us:
This is a self check-in. For help, message us through the app. If it is urgent, call or text the number in your welcome message. In a true emergency, dial 911. We are real people, not an AI or a big company, and we need sleep. Please avoid non-emergency messages between 9:30 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. We cannot send maintenance or housekeeping overnight, so we will respond first thing in the morning. Quick examples: locked out and it is below freezing → emergency, call us anytime. A spider, something not working, or you want to add a night → not urgent, message us after 6:00 a.m.

Also know:

Guests must follow all local laws. Illegal activity may end the stay without a refund.

We do our best to keep everything in good working order, but we cannot promise that utilities or amenities will always be available without interruption.
