What a great place to kick back, watch the amazing stars, watch an abundance of wildlife, and an occasional black bear.
The owners of this property were absolutely top notch with such hospitality. Mark and Michelle were very helpful and knowledgeable about the Big Bend area. It is a little bit of a drive, but trust me, it is well worth it! If you are wanting to experience a true night sky with zero light pollution, this truly is the spot to visit! You wont be disappointed!
Thank you Mark & Michelle!
The Barndominium offers picturesque scenery with close-up wildlife (deer) spotting, a comfortable, cozy ambience, and everything you need to get away, relax, and unwind. Mark and Michelle are gracious hosts and keep you in the loop with interesting sights to see and places to go. We had an excellent time!
Really a great property! Comfortable beds and plenty of space for 4 adults. Hot tub and outdoor patio was wonderful. We were even able to swim in the pool down the road. We were doing a four day tour of Big Bend National Park which is why we booked the space. Itâs out in the middle of nowhere so did take some extra time to get places but that didnât deter us
Access to Casita de Chiles Barndominium is somewhat challenging with a few miles of dirt road at the end but it's worth it! Mark and Michelle were excellent - they live on the property so were accessible and easy to talk to. It was a good location for accessing Big Bend NP, which was the reason for our visit. We were interested in the birds and wildlife and were not disappointed: saw plenty of mule deer, a couple of javalina, and plenty of birds.
The barndominium was spacious, extremely well furnished and equipped with everything you could ever need including condiments and other food items. Great! The guys loved the hot tub on the great patio area, and we saw javalinas wandering close by. Though very remote which we knew from the website description, we did not realize it would take so long to get from the place to the highway. It added 30 minutes one way to our daily excursions. Overall a great place!
Really enjoyed our stay! House was perfect, had all the amenities needed! Mark and Michelle were the best, very accommodating and available to us! Canât wait to go back!
So clean and friendly helpful owners. Outdoor space was wonderful for sitting by an evening fire or hanging on the porch catching the breeze watching deer, javelina, birds, and bunnies. The night sky views were phenomenal. My bed was comfy and the room stayed nice and cool. Only downside was the distance to the park. Over an hour drive to Terlingua. Not a show stopper, but be aware.
My husband, 11 year old daughter, and I had a four day stay and it was awesome! While yes, the road in (Terlingua Ranch Rd) was a bit long and rough, especially due to two miles of it being unpaved, we were fully aware of that and just knew to take our time. The apartment itself was amazing and offered beautiful views of the mountains and terrain during the day and the stars at night. Mark and Michelle were amazing and offered a lot of insight as to things to do and see. We planned our days so we would be either at Big Bend (kayaking the Rio Grande and horseback riding) or exploring the Terlingua Ghost Town and the beautiful views along 170 and then head back to the apartment at night to relax.
We had a great time here. The listing is exactly as described and Michelle and Mark are great and very friendly. It was really nice coming back to comfy beds after a long day in the park. We will definitely stay here again.
We loved our experience in the Barndo! The hosts were very responsive and had the unit stocked with most everything you could want. We would definitely stay here again.
such wonderful and hospitable hosts - the place was very comfortable, and in beautiful surroundings. extremely clean. we loved the hot tub, star gazing, and watching wildlife from the porch. only 1 hr from big bend national park. highly recommended!
Michelle and Marc are very attentive hosts. The apartment was very clean and well kept. I wish we had more time to spend at the property as we were on a short getaway. We will definitely go back and spend more time at the property.
Valentines getaway to explore Big Bend & Terlingua. We were quite comfortable @ the Barndo. Beds are comfortable & appreciated TVs in both bedrooms Itâs remote & we appreciated that. Mark & Michelle are very hospitable & have stocked with all items needed, even water, granola bars & crackers out on arrival.
Great little place to stay when visiting the area. Hosts are very helpful and responsive to and questions or needs. Stayed here for a race in Big Bend and will stay again!!
The location was awesome, convenient for us to go to Big Bend NP. We liked the remote location. The hosts were very helpful and nice upon our arrival. Would like to stay here again. The place was very clean and had very nice features for our family. Had everything we needed for cooking our meals too. We had no problems at all with this place. Would recommend to anyone to stay here.
This property was a fantastic deal and was just as nice as advertised. The building is small but clean and cozy. The location can be a bit hard to reach so definitely take a car you don't mind bumping around a bit in though!
We chose a new moon for a return trip to Big Bend so we could get the full dark sky experience. What an amazing sight to see so many stars and the Milky Way each night! We also wanted to see a bit more of BBNP. Our hosts were terrific, communication was excellent, check-in and out was simple, and the place is cozy and well-supplied. Only wish it was a little more convenient to the park but we were warned so thatâs nobodyâs fault but ours. We enjoyed the surroundings and the Bad Rabbit Cafe. If you donât mind driving (which you shouldnât if youâre coming out this far), this is a great place to stay while youâre visiting Terlingua, Big Bend, etc.
