Texas Home Sweet Home: Re-Opened March 2023

Summary:
Texas Home Sweet Home: Enjoy Texas Spirit. Everything is Bigger: Big skies, Big views, Big Bend!
• Southwestern Adobe Texas Themed Home
• Two Bedrooms with King-size Beds
• Kitchen, Breakfast Room, Dining Room, Living Room, Two Full Baths
• Large Porch with Stunning Mountain Views
• Full Size Washer and Dryer
• Dogs Welcome. Fenced yard. Maximum 2 dogs. $200 fee.

The Space:
Texas Home Sweet Home is a custom built adobe home on 40 acres. The home is decorated in a Texas theme and features all the comforts of home.

Relax on the huge covered front rock porch. Enjoy the well-appointed kitchen with lots of storage or relax in the living room. Sit down at the dining table and enjoy eating, talking or playing a game with family and friends.

Texas Home Sweet Home was originally built in 1975 and was subsequently gutted (other than the adobe walls) and rebuilt by a builder and his son in 2001. The builder had a love for the natural rocks (including petrified wood) from the Terlingua area and incorporated them into the beautiful rock wall and rock pillars that grace the house, as well as the front stone porch (look for the fossils). The house is decorated with Texas Flair.

The house features two large bedrooms, each with a king size bed. The kitchen is well stocked with pots and pans, standard kitchen wares, fridge, dishwasher, gas oven and range, microwave, blender, slow cooker, and more. The dining room has a large table that is great not only for meals, but for playing cards or the many games that the owners have provided. In the living room, you will find a gas fired fireplace (gas logs) and a smart TV for streaming using the basic free option or your subscriptions. The two bathrooms are more than ample with the main bath featuring a tub/shower as well as washer and dryer.

Outside is a Texas Sized front rock porch that you will be sure to enjoy. Sit out on the rocking chairs and relax, or set up the picnic table and enjoy a meal outdoors, gather around the firepit and tell stories, or star gaze, or just take in the views of the surrounding mountains.

Bring your dogs. Texas Home has a fenced yard with shade and pet friendly interior. Two dogs maximum. A pet fee of $200 will be charged.

The word Texas comes from the Caddo Indian word teyshas meaning friend. Fittingly, we are delighted to open this home to new friends. 

You are welcome to make some wonderful memories here!

Big Bend Trip
We stayed 3 nights while visiting Terlingua & Big Bend. A few minors things to fix around the place and the road to the house is very rough at the end. Overall, it was a good stay.

Immersed in the Big Bend Experience
We spent five nights at Texas Home Sweet Home and could not have been more pleased. There are other lodging options nearer or within the park but our experiences with everything from porch sitting and the fire pit to night sky watching and the Terlingua Ranch pool made it worth the drive. We felt like locals instead of tourists. The tips from the host for provisioning the cabin were spot on and the Wi-Fi worked flawlessly. Highly recommend!

Big Bend Family Trip with Toddler
The house was much bigger than we expected! Great for 2 families or couples since rooms are on opposite sides of the house. The rooms are big and we appreciated the comfortable king size bed. We had plenty of room to have our toddler on his air mattress next to our bed. The fire pit was a huge hit! We spent every night out by it and brought our reclining lounge chairs to enjoy the millions of stars after the fire went out. The road to get to the Texas Home is easy to access and drive on. It’s only a short distance of gravel that any car could handle. The check in process was a breeze. We didn’t see the updated wifi password and had no water when we arrived, but they have a land line with provided phone numbers so we were able to easily call and get both issues resolved immediately. Big Bend Vacation Rentals was wonderful to work with. My only “complaint” is the showers didn’t feel clean which was probably the only thing I really wanted super clean coming in from hiking. Hopefully, they consider this for the future, but it wouldn’t deter me from recommending. Comparable to other places, this home was truly underrated due to its size and the property. We fell in love with it and our toddler loved exploring it. We would definitely book here again! Thanks for a wonderful stay and the unforgettable family memories we’ll cherish for a lifetime!

Excellent base for Big Bend exploration
This property was as-advertised, clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. Since it is about 30 miles from Terlingua, we headed out early for each day's expeditions, both in the national park and the surrounding areas, and returned in the late afternoons to relax, and enjoy the solitude and gorgeous sunsets while cooking dinner, listening to music, and playing cards. We had good communication with the property managers, and had everything we needed.
