"This was such a cute place to stay. Very nostalgic of old motels when they were in their heyday. Nice and clean, very quiet. There was a beautiful outside area to sit and watch the sunset. Overall great stay, and we would stay again. "
"Mark and Michelle were amazing hosts and very accommodating. We enjoyed our stay in their barndo with beautiful veiws in the day time as well as the stars at night. Beds and all of the furnishings were all very comfortable and cozy. Would highly recommend a stay at their property and will definitely be back to stay there again ourselves!"
" We really enjoyed our stay while visiting Big Bend National Park. The location is very peaceful and relaxing. Beautiful views of the mountains and wildlife! We enjoyed the dark skies for stargazing. The RV was very clean and comfortable. Very easy to communicate with Mark and Michelle. Loved every minute of our stay! "
Casa de Creosote: Starry, cozy Off-grid Cabin & Rustic Camping, Terlingua Ranch.
10/10 Excellent
"Came out to West Texas for a long weekend and this was exactly what we were looking for! The cabin is incredible, it's truly impressive that Jim built everything himself! You get your middle-of-nowhere feel while still being close to the park: 30 minutes to the entrance, another 30 after that to the popular trails. You are also close to Terlingua where they have supplies and restaurants if you need that. But we really enjoyed cooking our own food at the cabin - Jim has everything you could need to make dinner by a campfire, morning eggs, you name it. We also loved the peace & quiet, and the unmatched stargazing we had at night. Jim is also an incredibly nice man, and will fix things on the spot if anything is even remotely out of place. Not to mention his competitive pricing. If we can find our way to Big Bend again, we will probably stay here!"
"The rental itself was more than adequate! My buddy & I slept on-trail in Big Bend the second night of our stay & the rental provided much need comfort & relaxation for recovering from a hard hitting 2 day hike!Ps: Don’t “explore” the small mountain behind the rental! Some guy will yell at you for exploring his “back yard”!"

10/10 Excellent
"This cabin is beautiful with clean and comfortable rooms that had everything we needed. The cabin’s setting is amazing with gorgeous views in all directions. We greatly enjoyed star gazing in the yard. I loved the walking path around the property, it has lovely landscaping and even solar lights. Communication with Big Bend Rentals was excellent. Detailed instructions and driving directions (including step-by-step directions with pictures) were provided. We greatly enjoyed our stay while visiting Big Bend National Park. "
"The kitchen was fully equipped & there was an outdoor grill. The rooms & bathroom were clean, plenty of towels available. The pillows and mattress were actually quality and comfortable. I believe they were temperpedic & SUPER comfortable. We would definitely recommend and stay here again!"
