Perfect hideaway close to Terlingua
We were so close to Terlingua that we could even walk there if we didn’t feel like driving downtown, but far enough that you can have total peace and quiet. The sunsets from the front porch were spectacular and we saw so many stars at night…this perfect hideaway was just what we needed for our weekend getaway!

Great property!
This is our second time in a property owned by the Ebys, albeit 13 years apart. The Hideaway was a great spot for us and our four daughters. We utilized the well appointed kitchen for a number of meals and appreciated the great access into the National Park. We will return for our next Big Bend trip!

Great stay
We really enjoyed our time at this rental. It was exactly as described, good communication with host/property management. Quiet. Space to spread out. Loved the front porch view of the mountains. We ate many meals at the rental and we had everything we needed. Nice distance from the park. Would definitely stay again.

Adorable House in Terlingua
The house was just as described. I enjoyed the openness and decor. We had everything we needed to make breakfast, stay warm and cozy and enjoy our stay. The rooms had good storage for luggage and bathrooms were nice. The only complaint from our 3 night stay was the mattress in the guest bedroom being uncomfortable, but that also might be person preference instead. We would definitely recommend this property to anyone visiting the area. It was very close to places to eat and the National Park.

Cool Terlingua Home
Desert Sky Hideaway is a cool property. The house perfectly fits the vibe of Terlingua and the surrounding desert beauty. It was clean, quiet, well-appointed, and large enough to spread out. Big Bend National Park was a short drive and local eateries were within walking distance. The management company was accessible. They also provided thorough check-in directions and instructions.

The Great House
My siblings (all great aunts and uncles) were very comfortable staying here. Many other family members- 34 in all—were scattered around in the Big Bend area. We were centrally located and convenient for pick ups and drop offs. Instructions for arrival were clear and straightforward, as were instructions for checking out. A couple of water issues were remedied right away. Owners were pleasant and easy to deal with. We’d certainly stay again!

Nice spot in Terlingua
Desert Sky Hideaway is a very nice, modern home with the perfect set up for a group of friends or family looking to spend some time together. Very large and open kitchen and living areas allow for maximum gathering space. Location is close to BBNP, all things Terlingua, and even Lajitas. It’s a good mid point base station for all the area’s activities. While the home is situated amongst other dwellings, it is somewhat nestled amongst the dunes making it feel more isolated and private than it really is. Star gazing out front is phenomenal as are morning sunrises on the front porch. Experience with property management was all positive. Would definitely recommend this one based on our numerous stays in the area.

Peaceful & Lovely Desert Hideaway
My husband and 2 kids (ages 10 &12) stayed at this lovely home for a week during our 1st visit to Big Bend. The house was just as pictured - clean and plenty of room to spread out. We loved the huge dining room table - room for meals, games, and storage! It was great going out on hiking, biking, kayaking adventures, and then having a nice place to relax and unwind. The kids really appreciated the TV for their video games. The hosts were amazing - when we had a dead car battery, they got us in contact with someone who could quickly give us a jump start, and get going on our vacation again. We would love to come back and stay here again. Thanks for everything!
