Summary:

The Space:
When visiting the Big Bend, it helps to have a quiet, comfortable, and convenient home base. Pat O’s Place is exactly that. Pat built his Terlingua home as a place to relax and enjoy. He would be proud to now share his place with you.

Pat O’s Place is a quiet adobe home, lovingly decorated and well furnished, just outside of the world famous Terlingua Ghost Town. It is just remote enough to be quiet and peaceful, but close enough to walk to the Ghost Town. The seclusion of the secure adobe home and the tranquility of the spacious porch with views of the Chisos Mountains provide the quiet needed to forget about the pressures and stresses of daily life. The usual noise and distractions are silenced by the surrounding desert. This is a place to reconnect with what really matters.

Relax in comfort inside or out. Inside, the spacious open floor plan is designed for time together. With a full kitchen, dining area, comfortable living space, large private bathroom, and a spacious bedroom with partial wall, the home will sleep four. The bedroom has a queen-size bed. The living room has a large leather sofa that fold out to a queen-size bed. Outside, the large covered patio has space for outdoor dining or relaxing in the ample shade while enjoying mountain views and cooling breezes. The fire ring is the perfect spot for campfire, ghost stories, and making s’mores.

Enjoy the convenience of being close to the Ghost Town, Big Bend National Park, the Rio Grande River, and Big Bend Ranch State Park. From the house to the heart of the Ghost Town, it is just over a half mile walk, ride, or drive. Driving to other area attractions is convenient with the house just over a half mile to FM 170. One mile to Desert Sports, two miles to Rio Aviation, four miles to La Kiva Bar & Grill, five miles to Far Flung and Big Bend River Tours, five and a half miles to Hwy 118, six miles to Big Bend Stables, and just eight miles to the western entrance to Big Bend National Park.

Thanks for letting us tell you about Pat O’s Place. Now, come and experience it for yourself. After you do, we suspect that you will want to tell your friends. That is exactly how Pat would have wanted it. This was his special place. It can now be your place to enjoy and remember.

Cute, Comfortable Space near Town
We enjoyed our stay over the Holiday week - very close to town and Big Bend - house was comfortable - had to buy a few things to make "thanksgiving dinner" as far as kitchen items go - but they had everything you would normally need - would stay here again!

We have stayed at Pat O's everytime we visit Big Bend. It is a great place to stay - comfortable, quiet, beautiful. The hosts are so easy to work with. Love to star gaze, watch the sunrise and sit on the porch relaxing after a day of hiking!

Fantastic property with excellent location
We came for the hiking and stayed for Pat O’s front porch with exceptional views! Superior location for Big Bend NP and the region. Bed is comfortable- great sleeping. Kitchen had everything we needed. Bath and kitchen are remodeled. Lovely fire pit though we didn’t use because of windy conditions during our stay (for ban in effect).

Enjoyable and Pleasant
My son and I were looking for a convenient location to Big Bend. This property is between Big Bend National Park and Big Bend Ranck State Park. convenient location for both. Also convenient to Star Light Theater in Ghost Town. This property added to our vacation enjoyment. Would definitely stay here again.

A great get away in Terlingua
We had a great time at Pat O's Place. It was very clean and well appointed. Loved the large porch with the rocking chairs. The star gazing was great at night and the morning view of the mountains was a wonderful way to start the day. The location was near everything we wanted to see but was still quiet and dark enough to enjoy the night sky. The road to the location is a bit rough, so a high clearance vehicle is a great tip. We would stay here again for sure.

Wonderful little home in a beautiful setting
We booked this wonderful home to check out Big Bend National Park, and really enjoyed this hidden gem in this small and remote ghost town of Terlingua. The house was clean and welcoming. The bed linens and towels were clean and really nice. The surrounding area was absolutely gorgeous. If you want to see the night sky, this is the place to see it, absolutely amazing. The people that ran it were responsive and wanted to make sure we were happy with everything. I would go back with my family in a heartbeat.

Loved Pat O's!
This was a perfect home/cabin for the two of us. It was very clean, well furnished, etc. We loved the star gazing! We weren't there much during the day - gone hiking in Big Bend - Pat O's was a great location for this! Our only negative thing to say doesn't pertain directly to Pat O's but to the road leading to it. We arrived after dark and the road up to the driveway was challenging (we had received excellent directions via email). I would recommend a vehicle with high clearance - (if you are going to Big Bend NP to hike there were several hikes that also required high clearance vehicles to get to the trailhead parking via challenging rock roads.) We loved Pat O's and made a friend of a Road Runner bird who was hanging around two mornings in a row.

Quaint adobe home
This is a very quaint, small adobe home in Terlingua, TX. We choose this home because it is about 6 miles from Big Bend National Park. We had hoped to stay at the lodge inside the park but it was full. This was a great alternative because we had a full kitchen, completely stocked with everything needed to cook a meal after a long day in the park. Although it is a small house, really just one large room (just a 3/4 wall for the bedroom), it provided more space than a lodge room would have. It is very private from your neighbors. However, it is located about a mile off the main road on a very bumpy dirt road. I am glad we had our 4Runner and not our Highlander! The floor plan is very open but I would not say it is designed for time together. It needs much better relaxing furniture! I do not want to sit in a kitchen chair or a straight back chair to read and talk with family. Although the house has a great front porch, there is no furniture on it! Do not be deceived by the picture of the porch. A porch swing or several chairs would have great to watch the sunset or star gaze. Instead, we took kitchen chairs outside to do this. :( Also, the only heat source is an electric fire place. This is not adequate to comfortably heat the house. It isn't even located in a central place to heat the entire house. Another reason we booked this house was because it had Wifi. Unfortunately, that was not the case. That was disappointing because our teenage son was with us. It was very clean and had a comfortable bed, basic kitchen items (napkins, paper towels, some spices, coffee, etc) were provided as well as toiletry items.

Went for the chili cook off. Enjoyed BBNP. Cemetery for day of the dead is a must experience. Locution was perfect, close to everything. Unpaved road to the property is rough. Glad we had our Bronco. The property is exactly as described. Quiet and peaceful but close to lots of activities.

Great spot outside Big Bend National Park
We really enjoyed our stay at Pat O’s! It’s set back with a great view. The cabin was clean and all essential amenities were provided. The road is a little rough (like most roads in Terlingua), but most passenger vehicles will be fine. Our only wish was that Terlingua rentals were a little more affordable.

Pat O's is wonderful--super clean, well stocked with everything needed, and very comfortable. Everything about it is top-notch! We enjoyed the information provided about the cabin's history, and our river guide for the Santa Elena Canyon float trip said he had been trained by Pat! This will be always be our first choice for lodging in the Big Bend area.

Pat o’s place
Didn’t realize it was a gravel road getting there. That info might have been helpful. Also the word “brew” was completely rubbed off the button on the coffee maker so I had to go online and find coffee maker directions. Realized the silver button with no words on it was the brew button. Maybe leave a sign saying how to brew the coffee with the missing words on the button. AC was loud so we wore earplugs at night for.sleeping. Otherwise, we were very happy with our stay. Great stocked kitchen. Good location.

Great accomodations in a peaceful place
Wonderful place to stay in the ghost town near Big Bend National Park. Best amenities of all the VRBOs we have stayed in. Shampoo, coffee and other stuff. Made life more civilized in the middle of nowhere. Well cleaned and maintained. One bedroom and pull out sofa makes it suitable for a couple and a child. Would not recommend for a large family. History of Pat O write-up in the shelf gave a great historical perspective on the place. Access is passable for any vehicle just be aware that it is a rough road. Nothing to be frightened of, just drive slowly and carefully. Wonderful view from a very peaceful front porch setting in the provided rocking chairs. A great place to spend some quiet time.
