About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Off-Grid, Modern Cliff House

The Perch is a retro meets modern, fully off-grid “cabin-inspired” home — Set into the cliff edge of a 60+ million-year-old limestone plateau, you’ll have one-of-a-kind views overlooking the historic Terlingua Ghost Town and into the expanse of the Chisos mountain range of Big Bend National Park. Nestled on 20 acres of pristine Chihuahuan desert, it is the perfect property for couples, a small family, a group of hikers or anyone who wants to enjoy the solitude and wonder of the Big Bend region.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and a dining table.

Best Views In Terlingua

What an amazing property! Looking out at the ghost town from the top of the plateau is truly incredible, especially at sunrise and sunset. The host did not cheap out on anything from furnishings to decorations to accommodations like fire pit, outdoor shower and beautiful deck. I would highly recommend this property to anyone staying in the area for a trip to the National Park or nearby state park. The bedding was very comfortable, shower pressure was great, hot water fantastic, cooling chilly and overall a very positive experience. This is absolutely one of the more unique places I have stayed in West Texas and will be happy to come back for future trips.

Awesome cliffside retreat

This house was awesome! We had a fantastic stay and the pictures don't even come close to describing the amazing view! The house is well equipped with cooking supplies and propane grill. We enjoyed the comfy king beds and hanging out on the deck for sunrises and sunsets. We definitely recommend this house if you are looking for a cool off grid experience in Terlingua. Note: The road up is a rough dirt road going up the mountain and we had no problems in our Yukon, but it might be tough to manage for a small city car. Also, there is one king bed in the loft with a steep metal ladder so it may be better suited for older kids or adults who don't get up in the night.

Spectacular

Wow - what a stay. What a great space to share with our adult children to enjoy the surrounding beauty of Big Bend National Park. Everyone had comfortable space to retreat to after a long day of hiking and night of enjoying the dark sky! The kitchen is well stocked and we didn't find ourselves wanting for anything. Make sure to bring some firewood and some groceries.....you're set. Thanks for a memorable stay.

The View!

This place was absolutely gorgeous! The views were breathtaking and the outdoor shower was unique and refreshing after long hikes in BBNP. The road up to the spot was fun in our Jeep and it was a perfect spot to see the wildlife.

Perhaps the most amazing Sunrise of my life.....

This place...... What can I say?!?! Mind Blown! Yes, it's off grid and you have to think about conservation, but the beds are comfy, there is wifi, the record collection is off the hook and the views are unbelievable. If you are on the fence, let me push you over the edge..... The Stars! Mind boggling how many stars there are. One thing worth mentioning is the drive up - it really needs four wheel drive. Such a fun adventure!!!!

Best view in town

We stay at a lot of very nice VRBO properties and I can guarantee that we will remember this property forever. The property is exactly as advertised. The 7 minute drive up the dirt road to the house takes you completly away from civilization. You can tell how much thought went into the placement of the house by the over 180 degree views, the shielding from the intense sun and the way the breeze cools the deck. If you like some adventure, a very well thought out home and access to Big Bend you will enjoy this home. In addition to enjoying the Perch, we were also treated to morning sightings of a herd of Big Horn Sheep that roam near the property. Fantastic place to stay!
