About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Off-Grid, Modern Cliff House

The Perch is a retro meets modern, fully off-grid “cabin-inspired” home — Set into the cliff edge of a 60+ million-year-old limestone plateau, you’ll have one-of-a-kind views overlooking the historic Terlingua Ghost Town and into the expanse of the Chisos mountain range of Big Bend National Park. Nestled on 20 acres of pristine Chihuahuan desert, it is the perfect property for couples, a small family, a group of hikers or anyone who wants to enjoy the solitude and wonder of the Big Bend region.

The Perch
What a place! Stunning! Stunning! And great access to anything that’s important but just staying there is important enough.

Fantastic experience
10/10 would recommend, just bring your all-terrain vehicle. Spectacular views. A once-in-a-lifetime experience, which explains why we’ve stayed there twice.

Awesome cliffside retreat
This house was awesome! We had a fantastic stay and the pictures don't even come close to describing the amazing view! The house is well equipped with cooking supplies and propane grill. We enjoyed the comfy king beds and hanging out on the deck for sunrises and sunsets. We definitely recommend this house if you are looking for a cool off grid experience in Terlingua. Note: The road up is a rough dirt road going up the mountain and we had no problems in our Yukon, but it might be tough to manage for a small city car. Also, there is one king bed in the loft with a steep metal ladder so it may be better suited for older kids or adults who don't get up in the night.

Spectacular
Wow - what a stay. What a great space to share with our adult children to enjoy the surrounding beauty of Big Bend National Park. Everyone had comfortable space to retreat to after a long day of hiking and night of enjoying the dark sky! The kitchen is well stocked and we didn't find ourselves wanting for anything. Make sure to bring some firewood and some groceries.....you're set. Thanks for a memorable stay.

The View!
This place was absolutely gorgeous! The views were breathtaking and the outdoor shower was unique and refreshing after long hikes in BBNP. The road up to the spot was fun in our Jeep and it was a perfect spot to see the wildlife.

Perhaps the most amazing Sunrise of my life.....
This place...... What can I say?!?! Mind Blown! Yes, it's off grid and you have to think about conservation, but the beds are comfy, there is wifi, the record collection is off the hook and the views are unbelievable. If you are on the fence, let me push you over the edge..... The Stars! Mind boggling how many stars there are. One thing worth mentioning is the drive up - it really needs four wheel drive. Such a fun adventure!!!!

The location is perfect - stunning views of the park, beautiful sunsets, and the covered porch makes it comfortable throughout the day. No issues with water or power with the off grid utilities, worked out great! Worth every penny and we will be back.

The Perch is one of the best VRBO rentals that we have stayed in . The thought and details put into this place is above and beyond. The house was very clean, beds we’re comfortable and was well stocked . Can’t recommend this place enough ! We will be back !

Best view in town
We stay at a lot of very nice VRBO properties and I can guarantee that we will remember this property forever. The property is exactly as advertised. The 7 minute drive up the dirt road to the house takes you completly away from civilization. You can tell how much thought went into the placement of the house by the over 180 degree views, the shielding from the intense sun and the way the breeze cools the deck. If you like some adventure, a very well thought out home and access to Big Bend you will enjoy this home. In addition to enjoying the Perch, we were also treated to morning sightings of a herd of Big Horn Sheep that roam near the property. Fantastic place to stay!
