We stayed in a an economy motel room for $59.33 including tax. That's as cheap as you're going to find in Terlingua. I knew it would be rustic based on the other reviews. The rooms are in a sort of prefab motel building. They are barebones and worn (holes worn in the linoleum floor, etc.) but of adequate size. The... More

We were a large part ages between 6 months and 60's. We were pleased with this accommodation because we only needed somewhere to sleep. Everything was clean and the price so reasonable that we will be back.

Like many of the other reviews have said, if you set the right expectations, this is a good place to stay in Terlingua. It's just minutes outside the park and very reasonably priced. If you want cushy accommodations, this isn't it - but then, why are you coming to Big Bend? We stayed in one of the "condos" which are... More

The lady in the office was a little curt when we arrived, especially when we asked for a kettle (nope not possible!) but overall this motel was great for exploring Big Bend if you just need a cheap(ish) bed for the night. It's a little like a log cabin, quite old fashioned but clean and comfortable. Close to the west... More

We celebrated Christmas in Terlingua and enjoyed staying at the Chisos Mining Company. Think of your stay as very civilized camping. We had a full sized fridge and a 4 burner stove with an oven. All the cooking utensils were there and everything was clean. It's not a 4 star hotel but it's in the middle of the desert so... More

This motel is owned by some of the most knowledgeable, hospitable, and accommodating Big Bend area specialists. It is a fun choice of lodging with a good selection of styles - rooms, cabins, or condos - I've stayed in all three. There are no 5 star prices and it's a terrific and gentle introduction to this fascinating and beautiful desert... More

I stayed at a 6-people off-site house. The "off-site" houses, painted with different cute colors, are actually located right inside an creepy automobile junk yard. Although it is "6" people house, 2 people have to sleep on a dirty futon without bedding. As for the other two beds, the springs are all worn out. But it is not that big... More

They said it is a nice house with creek view. In reality, it has creepy view that is just next to a recycle plant. What you will see is piles of used rubber tires. And the worst part is during our stay, the weather was cold and the shower even FREEZING. Literally no HOT water for the first two days... More

I made a reservation for our 2012 Thanksgiving holiday 2 weeks before the holiday. With family changes my reservation had to be changed. Despite some other comments from other guests using the Trip Advisor site, I found the front desk very pleasant and easy to deal with. They were most accommodating where they could be. When I made my reservation... More
