This was a great home base for us to explore Big Bend and the surrounding area. Our biggest priority was seeing a really dark night sky, and the location was isolated enough that we had no stray light from anywhere else - we got great photos of the Milky Way on our first night. It is about 30 minutes away from the park entrance and the park itself takes a lot of time to drive across, so you might want to be a lot closer if your goal is being on the trails early.Daryl and Janet were great hosts who communicated everything clearly and answered the very few questions we had quickly. Everything is laid out in the info PDF you're sent after booking.The cabin is quite spacious compared to other pricier options. The kitchen was large enough for us to cook in and had everything we needed for a short stay, but I'd bring one of my knives with me if I came again - I understand having serrated knives for durability in a rental, but they're hard to use if you're chopping a lot of things. Basically, bring the important/specialty stuff with you. The was plenty of drinking water, and the bathroom was fully stocked. The third bed being a twin in the hallway instead of the sofa would be great for a family with a child.The driveway doesn't need a high-clearance vehicle.If you log into your streaming account on the TV, don't forget to log out.There really are desert quail running around the place in the mornings!

This was an amazing place to stay! Quiet, clean, and very comfortable with all the necessary amenities. The location is about 15 minutes from Terlingua proper (gas/groceries/ice), and 30 minutes from Big Bend Entrance.
I’d stay here again.
