We had a great time at Fossil Knob! For our NYE trip to Big Bend our priorities were great views, a peaceful setting, and a bit of luxury. Our expectations were met and exceeded. The property is a collection of renovated shipping containers that contain all of the amenities of a typical vacation rental (hot water, a small kitchen, linens, etc.) set against the backdrop of the Terlingua dessert. It is isolated in the right ways while also being proximate to fun activities in the Ghost Town and a mere 45 minutes from the state and national parks.
Sierra Vista, our unit, had as of writing this review, an exceptional unobstructed view of the surrounding hills and sunsets. Large windows on the West side allow as much natural light in as you can handle. The A/C works well, the bathroom is functional and cozy, and the kitchen has everything you need to prepare decent meals for up to two people. Check in instructions, though lengthy and very particular, were thorough and clear. The price of this rental is a good bit higher than most in the area but makes up for it with redeemable character and class.
This is probably not a good option for those looking for a rugged or budget-friendly West Texas experience, but it suited our needs just fine. It is a comfortable and romantic location to chillax or to launch your Big Bend adventures.
Enjoy!
