Welcome to Terlingua's Stardust Big Bend, where we primarily offer luxury A-Frames, but this one is our budget-friendly option, the container home. The location is central, 5 minutes from the national park and Ghosttown, on the main highway. It has a full kitchen with all cooking essentials. Even though the container home is tight, you can relax and spread out more in our large clubhouse next door. The clubhouse has a pool table, air hockey, foosball, arcades, darts & more. We have 12 rentals in total for large groups to stay together.
This is our budget-friendly option, so the rates are low compared to our more luxurious cabins. However, you still benefit from the great location (5 mins from the park and the ghost town) and amenities such as the clubhouse. Being a container, everything is a bit tight as containers are only 8 feet wide. We have two bedrooms, each with a queen bed. There is a full kitchen with all the cooking essentials, pots/pans, utensils, plates, silverware, spices, oil, coffee, creamer, and sugar provided. We have a shower and restroom, and we provide clean white linen and towels. There is a full fridge, freezer, oven, and stove available so you can cook and save money.
The clubhouse is next door with a pool table, arcade games, giant air hockey, foosball, dart board games, and more. You have 24/7 access to the clubhouse.
On the outside, we have four chairs around a fire pit. You get a gorgeous view of the Chisos Mountains while sitting outside. The container is close to the road, so there will be some lights from the cars passing on the road, however, you are able to move the chairs to the other side if desired or sit outside the clubhouse.
If you understand that this is a container home and you will be spending much of your day in the park, then you will be satisfied. If you want lots of room to move around, then this is probably not a good fit for you. You can hang out in the clubhouse if you feel a bit tight in the container home.
We also have an on-site guest laundry with a washer and dryer. We provide the laundry detergent for your convenience.
There is a charcoal BBQ grill next to the Container. We provide grilling utensils, lighter fluid, and a lighter.
We have level-2 EV chargers on site to charge your Tesla (NACS) or non-Tesla (J1772) electric vehicles. There is an additional $30 fee to use the EV charger if needed (charged for each night of the booking).
We have backup Generac generators for the full facility. Power outages are frequent in the area (sometimes 2-3 times per month) and we are one of the very few properties in the area with backup power. You don't want to be stuck in a vacation rental when the power goes out. Temperatures can be extreme at any time of the year in the Big Bend.
You will be given the door code to enter your unit. You have access to the entire container home, the outside seating, the fire pit, and the clubhouse. Please stay on the walkways and don't wander off the walkways or near other cabins to give everyone their privacy.
Please specify the correct number of people when booking.
Pets are not allowed. If we do find out you brought a pet (which we almost always do when guests try to break the rules), there will be $199 extra cleaning fee and any damage by the pet will also be charged to your card.
Well, we are in the desert. There is not much of a neighborhood as we have vast empty spaces around us, yet close to the park and restaurants. The Ghost Town is 3 mins away, Big Bend National Park is 5 mins, Lajitas is 15 mins. There are very few properties nearby. The back side of our property has Cigar Mountain, there is only one vacation rental on it that is visible from the property. Other than that you have unrestricted views of Big Bend National Park, Chisos Mountains, Santa Elena Canyon, and other nearby mountains.
A car is essential to get around. Some businesses in town offer jeep rentals for your off-roading adventures
Check-in is at 4 PM and checkout is at 10 AM but we are often able to accommodate early check-in/late checkout requests.
Please keep the brightness of the lights to a minimum so you and other guests can enjoy the night sky. If the lights are on inside then the curtain must be drawn (on the sliding patio door and bedroom window) and the blind pulled down on the kitchen door.
Please stay on the walkways and don't trespass on neighboring properties. You cannot drive your car up to your cabin, you must park in the designated parking areas. Taking the car to your cabin will damage the sensitive desert landscape. A $500 fine will be assessed if we see your car parked next to your cabin. The designated parking areas are a short walk away from all cabins. Luggage carts are provided in the parking areas. Please return the carts to the parking area after offloading your luggage.
Don't leave the fire unattended in the firepit. Put the last log one hour before you want to go inside. After 20 mins you can put the mesh lid to quickly fetch something. After about one hour you can put the steel lid on the pit and the fire will die by itself. DO NOT USE WATER to put out the fire. It will damage and warp the metal.
No, smoking or vaping is allowed in the container. If we detect the smell of smoke or other evidence of smoking in the container, a $500 cleaning fee will be charged.
Please specify the correct number of people when booking. Up to 4 people are included in the listing cost and will be comfortable in the space. If you want to bring a 5th person, please be aware that you will be very tight. There is a $35 charge for the 5th person per night. We will provide a floor mattress. If we discover you brought extra people (through staff reports or cameras), we will charge $70 per person per night.
Pets are not allowed. If we do find out you brought a pet (which we almost always do when guests try to break the rules), there will be $199 extra cleaning fee and any damage by the pet will also be charged to your card.
