The Big Bend Region is internationally acclaimed for having the darkest night skies and best astronomical views in the continental US.

It is equipped with a mounting point for the supplied pair of giant 11X80 Celestron astronomical binoculars. Outdoor AC power outlets are available at the observatory, on the Sky Deck, and outside the cabin itself. A professional tripod is available for steady unguided astrophotography. Guests are encouraged to bring their own telescopes and/or binoculars to take full advantage of the dark sky site.
Located just over two miles north of Terlingua and less than a half mile off Highway 118, Big Bend Observatory has easy access to Terlingua, Big Bend National Park, Terlingua Ghost Town, Big Bend Ranch State Park, the Rio Grande River, a variety of restaurants and bars, adventure outfitters, and all the local tourist venues.

Summary: This property is perfect. Has a private observatory with retractable roof for each cabin. Smart telescope provided awesome photos. Close to restaurant and gas and groceries. No need to stock up before you come. Shop local and support small businesses.

Summary: Cabin was what we expected and more! We spent the days hiking areas in Big Bend National Park like the lost mine trail and other trails off the scenic routes in the park. Went to the Terlingua ghost town to check it out and had a nice time at the Boathouse Bar. While viewing the planets and stars in the observatory at night! The seestar there is easy to use after watching a simple youtube video. Hosts were great, we never had to contact them on any issues during our stay. But they were very responsive before during and after our stay. I will be going back for sure! Highly Recommend this place! Only thing I regret is only staying a week.

Summary: The quaint cabin was very clean and equipped with everything we needed during our stay. The day we arrived the power went out and apparently it impacted a lot of residents. Thankfully, power was restored within 20 minutes. Daryl followed up by calling and checking on us which was a very kind gesture. There aren't a lot of dining options throughout the area, so I suggest bringing your own food. The cabin's fridge is large enough to store a lot of groceries.

Summary: Like staying in an RV except with no wheels and more room and comfort. There is another property 100 ft away that was occupied for some of our stay, but we didn't see them, only their car. Otherwise, there's not much else in sight. The front porch faces due west and we enjoyed drinks and snacks while watching the sunsets. The bed and seating is comfortable. There were no measuring cups or spoons in the kitchen if you need them. They did have 2 counter stools in the kitchen that were very convenient. The driveway is very muddy after a rain and has some short steep hills.

Summary: A great location to stay while visiting BBNP! This cabin has all the necessities and was a breeze to get to. The observatory was an excellent bonus! We will check this one out again if available when we visit the area again.
