The Space: High Clearance Vehicle Recommended due to rough and rocky roads. Book your vacation at the ultimate modern vacation rentals in the rugged outback of the Big Bend region. In a land of endless mountain and desert vistas that is famed for ghost town ruins, rustic adobes, and Old West ranch homes, the Fossil Knob Ridge vacation rentals offer a unique contrast. The ultra-modern vacation rentals at Fossil Knob Ridge are contemporary homes built from recycled shipping containers. Yes, you read that right. These vacation rental homes are constructed from big metal boxes that were originally used for transporting cargo across the globe on trains and ocean freighters. The owner purchased them from a shipping company and converted them into contemporary and stylish living spaces. Don’t worry though, they are far more than just metal boxes with some furniture. Indeed, these homes offer the most neoteric lodging in the Terlingua area. Fossil Knob Ridge offers six separate units. Each rental is similarly styled but each is unique in size, layout, design, furnishings, amenities, views, and occupancy level. The rentals are named after some of the local cinnabar mines that were the basis of settlement of this region in the late 1800's and early 1900's. The Cinnabar House has two king beds and sleeps up to 4\. The Chisos house sleeps up to three with a king bed and a sofa. The Quicksilver, Mariscal, Buena Suerte, and Sierra Vista rentals sleep two, with a king bed in each. THIS LISTING IS FOR THE MARISCAL HOUSE AT FOSSIL KNOB RIDGE. The Mariscal rental is an ultra-modern home built from two recycled 20’ shipping containers. Joined together at a right angle to one another to create a comfortable living space. Living area, dining area, bedroom and kitchen. Modern design, styling, and art are featured inside and out. Please view the photos for the best description. Sleeps two guests. The bedroom has a king-sized bed. If you have a larger group, or simply want more space, we recommend booking multiple rentals at Fossil Knob Ridge. It is close by but faces away from the other rentals. All rentals have privacy and their own unique views. Each of the Fossil Knob Ridge Rentals are on the electric grid for reliable and ample electric power. All are fully air-conditioned and heated and have modern electric appliances. Potable water is trucked in and stored in holding tanks for your use. There is plenty of water available but trucking it in is expensive. We ask that you conserve water, but not so much as to compromise your comfort. Located just one-mile northwest of the world famous Terlingua Ghost Town and twenty miles northwest of the Chisos Mountains in Big Bend National Park. Fossil Knob Ridge overlooks the Ghost Town and has breathtaking mountain views, including the Chisos Mountains and into Mexico. Relax inside or on the shaded patio. Explore the fossil strewn 20-acre property. Drive or walk (it’s a long but enjoyable walk in good weather) into the Ghost Town to explore the historic ruins, dine, drink, enjoy live music, or hang out with local and travelers from around the globe. If you play an instrument or sing, join in on an impromptu jam, session on the porch of the old trading post. Drive into Big Bend Nation Park or Big Bend Ranch State park for endless outdoor adventures. Book a river trip, jeep tour, horseback ride, mountain bike rental, guided hike, or guided hunt. Enjoy a controlled campfire. Marvel at the night skies. Watch the stunning sunrises and sunsets. Do as much or as little as you like. Then, come back again and do even more or even less. Interaction with Guests: We manage several properties and live several miles away. We are available by phone, text, email, or messaging. We are typically only on site for cleaning or maintenance issues. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Microwave - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Shower - Towels provided ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden ### Work spaces - Office ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the mountains ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Deluxe Cabin, Kitchen, Mountain View | 1 bedroom, down comforters, individually decorated](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/109000000/108290000/108285900/108285829/e4cc9eee.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Stardust Big Bend Luxury A-Frames Terlingua - Kitchen - Parking included - Free WiFi - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 43 reviews $396 nightly $447 total Mar 6 - Mar 7 Total with taxes and fees [](https://www.expedia.com/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-06&endDate=2026-03-07&selected=108285829&PinnedHotelID=108285829&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Sleeping Cabin #1 | Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/31000000/30370000/30360900/30360801/4ae58ffd.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Terlingua Nights Cabins Terlingua - Pool - Parking included - Free WiFi - Air conditioning 7.6 Good 130 reviews $193 nightly $219 total Apr 2 - Apr 3 Total with taxes and fees [](https://www.expedia.com/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-02&endDate=2026-04-03&selected=30360801&PinnedHotelID=30360801&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![House | 1 bedroom, bed sheets](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/101000000/100550000/100548800/100548715/c97e27a0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### New The Wild West Cozy Container Home Alpine - Parking included 10 Exceptional 3 reviews $167 nightly $189 total Mar 31 - Apr 1 Total with taxes and fees [](https://www.expedia.com/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-31&endDate=2026-04-01&selected=100548715&PinnedHotelID=100548715&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/115000000/114260000/114251000/114250949/5933bfaa.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Study Butte Room No. 3 Terlingua - Pool - Pet friendly - Free WiFi - Air conditioning $297 nightly $331 total Mar 31 - Apr 1 Total with taxes and fees [](https://www.expedia.com/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-31&endDate=2026-04-01&selected=114250949&PinnedHotelID=114250949&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/49000000/48640000/48637800/48637721/73e98305.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Santa Elena Room - 50 minutes from Santa Elena Canyon.

The location of this property is absolutely amazing! We've never experienced such sweet silence. The property itself is perfectly appointed. The views are spectacular! The huge picture windows are excellent for this space. (We never pulled the shades down.) The King bed is so comfortable and to wake up to those views! We'll never forget it. Every morning we enjoyed breakfast on the lovely patio. The fire pit and the Adirondack chairs are so sweet for chilling at the end of a long day of hiking. Then as the fire burns down, the amazing night sky begins to light up. The home itself has everything you need to enjoy your time. We loved this Container home!! The only thing I'd add would be a lounge chair or a hammock :) One small warning, the 1 1/2 mile road up and around to this home is very rocky. A pick up truck or jeep type vehicle will have no problem. Any other car will have to take it very slowly. But the drive out there is worth it!! I promise!! My husband and I highly recommend the Mariscal at Fossil Knob Ridge! You will not be disappointed!! Thank you Daryl and Janet :) ##### Carol B.

After doing research online, I went with this location. The videos on their website sold me. We could see the Chiscos mountains from our patio. It was designed to help block the winds at night. We sat under the stars by our fire and just soaked it up. The bed and pillows were comfy, and we felt like we were really in the middle of nowhere...perfect.

This place offered such a comfortable, nice place to stay after rough and tiring days driving, hiking on the trail, or canoeing on the river. The shipping container was such a wonderful refuge, and it was such a joy to be here to just enjoy nature in a homey environment. The next time we stay in Terlingua, we will definitely be seeking Fossil Knob Ridge. We may bring a car with sturdier tires for the treacherous drive up, though. ##### Karlee K.
