Family-friendly holiday rentals in Terlingua

Michelle and Mark's home was wonderful. Especially enjoyed sitting on their front porch, watching the wildlife. They were wonderful company, kind and generous hosts.

Curt’s place by far has the best views in Terlingua. The cabin is perfectly nestled in the heart of the stunning mountains, giving you peace, privacy, and unforgettable scenery. The hot tub views are absolutely incredible—especially at sunset. It’s truly a slice of desert paradise. Maggie, the resident donkey, was an added bonus. She’s sweet, loyal, and a great protector—but be warned, she can be a little mischievous! Don’t leave anything out, or Maggie will help herself. Still, she quickly steals your heart, and you’ll miss seeing her at your window each morning. Curt and his son Kevin gave us true white glove service—from booking through departure. Curt’s directions are incredibly detailed (yes, they’re long—but for good reason). The signal out here is basically nonexistent, and if I hadn’t taken good notes, I can’t imagine how we would’ve made it. So pay attention—it’s worth it!

Wonderful stay, highly recommend!

I have to say if you want a tranquil peaceful getaway with a magnificent view and a friendly visitor who comes and says hi every once in a while (Maggie the burro) then this is your place. We stayed in the small cabin and it was just perfect for us. Did get to see the bigger cabin and it looked clean and big enough for up to 6 ppl. Our host Curt and his son were great and very welcoming. They offered to take us to a gun range they own and even offered to take us on a tour. Only about 1 hour away from the main entrance to Big Bend National Park but there are trails around the cabins that you can walk and get some spectacular views, not to mention the night skies with amazing view of the stars. The cabin itself was small but very cozy, it does have to be dusted and swept, but what do you expect you’re at the top of a small mountain. It has great AC, Wi-Fi and shower. Well worth the price, very cozy and clean, will be back with our boys soon. Thank you Curt for your hospitality

We loved the place and Daryl's instructions to locate the house made it very easy. The beds were very comfortable and the wifi was excellent. Having a washer and drier was also a plus.

Ron & Lisa were incredibly helpful and very friendly. The atmosphere was peaceful and friendly. The cook shack and porta potties were great amenities. Ron’s directions and tips for park I and Terlingua activities were awesome.

The space was super roomy, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. One of the highlights was the outdoor hammocks—there were plenty to choose from, making it the ideal spot to kick back and stargaze at night. The vibe was laid-back and cozy, and I can’t recommend it enough for anyone looking to unwind in a beautiful setting.

Beautiful location. Great for viewing the millions of stars at night. Make sure to grab groceries and gas before arriving to the house as there is nothing around there. The town of Terlingua is about a 45 min drive from the home so keep this in mind when planning meals or activities. The beautiful surroundings is what makes this home a gem. It’s so remote and offers so much peace and silence. Highly recommend

We were very pleased with our stay at Daryl's Laughing Horse near Big Bend National Park. The house was clean, comfortable, and had a very well equipped kitchen. Daryl was immediately available when we had a little glitch, and he resolved the issue right away. The drive to Big Bend was only 15-20 minutes from here. We rested well in the beds, and everything in the home worked well. There are several stairs to enter the home, but also a ramp, which was very important for one in our group. From one side of the house you can watch the sun set, and from the porch area you can watch it rise. We sat outside on the porch and played games on the small table there, enjoying the pleasant weather and peaceful surroundings. You will be asked to conserve water and not be wasteful, which was no problem for us. We were very happy to have found this lodging and would highly recommend it to others who want to explore the Big Bend area.

The camping grounds are just outside of downtown on the hill overlooking the sunset in the evenings. At night it can get extremely windy. The bathrooms are very tidy and convenient. The land is well kept and the host, Marc is very helpful and friendly. I would love to return to this spot again in the future.

We had a great stay! Peace and relaxing environment. House was clean and had everything we needed. Would recommend to others.

While it was the most expensive Airbnb on our road trip it was definitely worth every buck. The view is stunning - whether you watch the golden mountains in the evening or the plentiful stars at night! The apartment itself is spacious and was well-equipped with some beautiful features like the colorfully tiled shower. Daryl made sure to make the stay in this remote desert location as comfortable as possible whether sending detailed descriptions how to get to the house or providing plenty of drinking water and coffee (next to the tap water). Electricity was also stable and never went out. Daryl also gave many tips from where to go in the park and where to eat out to where to get gas and groceries on the way to save money. All in all, we very much enjoyed our stay.

The Earthbag home was absolutely incredible! Jamie did a phenomenal job creating this off-grid paradise. It was so well laid out, with walking paths, plenty of outdoor areas to hang out & star gaze. The views here were incredible from sunrise to sunset the views were breathtaking. I even enjoyed the private view from the outdoor shower! Jamie was extremely communicative & detailed with instructions which made it easy to navigate. We would absolutely stay here again!
