Each unit is thoughtfully designed with a convenient kitchenette space featuring a mini fridge, ideal for preparing light meals and snacks. After a day of adventure, guests can refresh in their full bathroom before unwinding in their private sitting area, complete with a cozy propane fire pit. Moreover, our hotel-quality queen beds provide an unmatched opportunity to marvel at the stars all night through giant windows and a skylight, offering a truly magical experience. Although our off-grid nature escape offers a peaceful retreat from the digital world, we also provide Wi-Fi throughout the property for your convenience should you choose to stay connected. We are less than 20 minutes to both Big Bend National Park and Terlingua Ghost Town, but tucked away from heavily traveled roads and highways. Our property offers the perfect blend of proximity to local attractions without the disruption of noise or traffic. Embrace the off-grid charm alongside modern amenities, making it an ideal destination for those seeking a serene retreat in the heart of nature. Like most properties on dirt roads in the area, heavy rains can make the roads difficult for travel/impassable for hours to days. There are a few dry creek crossings that can occasionally flash flood, but they usually clear within a few hours after the rain. Although rain in the desert is rare, if there is moderate rain, we simply ask that guests wait until it has passed and roads are clear before traveling. If we anticipate severe rain during your stay, we will contact you to discuss options. We also have other nearby accomodations that are shown in the photos and available to rent. Please let us know if you would like to book more than one unit for additional discounts.

One of the best Airbnb stays ever! This was perfectly off grid while still having great amenities for a perfect, blended experience of off grid and cute Airbnb! Brianna was the most fantastic host! She was very friendly, knowledgeable, accommodating, and overall made the whole stay enjoyable. We will 100% be coming back to stay here!

Hands down the best place to stay in Study Butte-Terlingua. This place seamlessly blends those outdoorsy camping experiences with all the comforts you need. It’s perfect for someone wanting that camping experience, but doesn’t want to be without the comforts of a warm bed, hot shower, and actual toilet. Highly recommend if you’re in the area, or want to visit Big Bend without actually camping. No need to keep scrolling - just book this one! You’ll be glad you did.

The place was amazing! I used the coordinates Brianna provided, and they took me straight to the container I stayed in with no issues at all. The skylight was my absolute favorite feature. One evening while working on my computer, I happened to look up and saw a meteor flying overhead, such a breathtaking moment! The nature around the property is truly magical. I completely fell in love with the place. Briana is a wonderful host! Always responsive, happy to help when needed, and at the same time very respectful of privacy. I’m already planning to come back around March to catch the Milky Way!

One of our best stays ever! This place was absolutely beautiful. When we arrived we missed a turn (our mistake, it was in the instructions) and got confused, so we went back to the main road. We had service there and even some on the dirt road. We reached out to Briana and she immediately came to guide us. If you want an off-the-grid vibe with real comfort, this is THE place. The Big Bend dark sky views are unreal. My husband and I laid outside every night just staring at thousands of stars. The property feels like you’re staying inside the park: secluded, private, no light pollution. The containers are perfect, each with its own bathroom and shower, and plenty of storage. The auto sky shade is incredible. We slept with it open and could see the night sky from bed, then closed it in the mornings and the room stayed pitch black. We spent most of our time outside by the fireplace, just taking in the scenery. Can’t recommend this enough. Stay here!!

This was the perfect getaway. The host went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. She was very helpful and responsive, she genuinely cared about our comfort. Everything inside was thoughtful and clean, the bed was super comfortable, and the sky roof above the bed was perfect. You fall asleep watching the stars. The unit is surrounded by beautiful mountains. Our stay was stress free and relaxing. Strongly recommend booking!

It was a great place to stay that's close to the park and Terlingua. It looks like the pictures and is perfect for a couple of nights! We really enjoyed sitting outside and using the fire pit. The first night we noticed we were low on propane, and the next day Brianna changed out the tank and made sure everything was hooked up. She even left us here stargazing chairs which were perfect for relaxing after a day in Big Bend. In addition, she provided drinking water and a mattress heating pad. It's a bit far off the main road (which makes it very peaceful), but the instructions were clear and we could easily find it in the daylight.
