We enjoyed our stay. Nice views. The camper had everything we needed. We especially liked the outside seating area. Our only real complaint is that it is located farther from Terlingua (25 minutes) and Big Bend (40 minutes) than we thought. This can be good or bad depending on what you are looking for.

We enjoyed the remoteness but it was centrally located for our purpose. We enjoyed the dark skies, the sun rise and sun set.

The location is amazing. The views both at night and during the dawn/dusk times are worth being away from town. The RV is really all anyone would want for a couple. Be aware that the layout of the RV has steps that are a challenge for anyone with any walking disabilities. Everything else is wonderful.

The property is great, especially if you are accustomed to staying in an RV. The indoor and outdoor spaces are comfortable and inviting with amazing views of the sunrise over the mountains. The kitchen space is clean and stocked well enough to prepare most meals. Everything works as it should. The only downside to our experience was a pretty noticeable odor during our stay. At first it just seemed like the kind of smell you notice the first time visiting someone's house, but over the course of the three nights we stayed it seemed to become a stronger odor. I can not fault the owner because we did not contact them regarding the smell since it didn't really affect our stay. It was honestly not even that noticeable until the second or third night. Overall, it is a great property and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who has been in an RV or can read and follow simple directions for using appliances and the like.

The camper was exactly as described. We enjoyed the peaceful and quiet evenings on the patio. Did not use the stove or oven but we did use the outdoor gas grill. The propane heater worked great to take off the morning chill.Would stay here again without hesitation.Thank you.

Location was easy to find in the day but we could see having difficulty arriving the first time after dark. The location was peaceful and quiet and perfect for stargazing.

I wasn’t expecting luxury but it would have been nice if everything in the trailer worked. We followed directions and had no trouble finding it. The trailer was wide open so no need to locate the key right away. All doors and windows were open letting in a white coating of dust over everything. We were hoping to grill out since we spent $30 replacing an empty propane tank but the outside lights didn’t work and it was too dark to see what we were doing. We cooked dinner inside but there were no lights in the kitchen area making it difficult. The next day a cold front had us lighting a propane heater inside the trailer that was provided because the central heater doesn’t work. We had to open up the windows because the smell of gas was so strong. No carbon monoxide detector so turned it off to get a few hours of sleep. We did notify the property manager by leaving a message at the local store. Not sure what they could have done really. I think the trailer needs an overhaul. Anyway we checked out a day early because it was so uncomfortable and wanted a good meal and a safe night sleep.

We had the best time! It was wonderful to have the Little Burro Country Store close by.
I loved how remote it felt and yet how close it was to services in Terlingua.
The place was well appointed, clean, and beautiful.
Everyone involved in hosting was gracious and kind.
We will be back!

I slept more sound here than I have in years due to the quiet and dark. The beds were very comfortable, including the pull out sofa.

This was the perfect place for my winter Big Bend getaway. The place is comfortable and accurately described. Don't let the distance from the park fool you; it is an easy beautiful drive into and out of the park. The host was friendly and accessible. DO follow the directions and arrive by day the first time. Once you've found it, you'll have no problems finding it at night after a long day in the park.

This is a very private desert property. Its not big on amenities. What it offers is a beautiful view of the night skies. A nice fire pit and plenty of solitude.
We arrived on motorcycles and with the help of goggle earth it wasn't too difficult to find. We rode all day and sat around the campfire at night. Other than the occasional traveler passing by on the 118 we saw nobody.
Theres a little general store nearby that closes promptly at 6:30. If you want to separate the kids from their cell phones and gadgets this is the place for you.

This place was perfect for our girls trip. The RV was the perfect size for us. We make smores and sausage on the fire. The sky at night was absolutely beautiful.

I had a great solitary trip to this area and had a nice stay in the 5th wheel. This property is exactly as pictured and described. Nothing is close in the area, but this property is a great out-of- the-way home base to jump off and explore all that this gorgeous area of TX has to offer. Would definitely work for a couple. I spent most of my time on the patio with the beautiful view of the mountains. Patio has plenty of shade from early afternoon through evening. Highly recommend!
PS: The directions offered by the owner are detailed and precise. I had ZERO issues finding the property. Definitely arrive during daytime. Google Earth is your friend. 1 minute of research will give you visual help in identifying how far from Little Burro Country Story it is.

Very difficult to find with online directions. Even though we had printed off the direc9and allowed 2 hrs before dark, we could not find the fate with the given directions. Owner eventually found us driving up and down to every gate after 3 hours of searching!
Owner provided a landline inside unit in case we needed to reach her.
We had not loaded her phone no , presuming it was on the directions. Our fault! and could not get wifi in the area, to look up the property to find it!
The motel wifi , 5 miles south, could not bring it up either with their poor wifi signal, and so couldn't help us!
Suggest directions say, load google maps with the given coordinates for the property, BEFORE leaving Your departure point. Also phone no!
(There is little to no wifi on the road south from Alpine as sated on present directions)
Directions should say gate is just approx 400 yes south of store.
The property highway number should be on the directions too!
Gate has skeleton of horned cattle afixed to gate.
Number of property is ...-----.. and is on a wooden post in front of and to left side of gate.
Directions should include telephone no of owner (only answered when owner has wifi). Tel no of store could also be included and suggestion to go to store before dark if lost. (Store is closed at night and has no lights!)
There are no blue lights on the gate post!!!! Only 1 faint solar light on 1 side. Only visible in pitch dark.
Trailer is lit up at night with a string of bright blue lights along deck railing. Approx 400 yds in from road. (That info would have really helped us)
Hope that helps future guests!
Be aware property is very old, lights are poor, kitchen lights dont work (so bring a battery lamp of good flashlight.
Stove clicker to light propane burner does not work, so unless you have matches, you will be unable to cook on stove!
Good VERY hot water but poor pressure, enough for short shower to save water.
Bed comfortable.
Property needs a deep clean and some modernising.
Propane heater in living room heats unit well but has to be turned off now and again as bedroom gets too warm! It was several degrees below zero Celsius at night, but we stayed warm. Unfortunately too cold to make use of outside sitting areas.
Property is about 30 mins drive from Big Bend entrance. 45 mins from main visitor Center inside the park.
Scenic drive to gate.
