Our family of four (including two teenagers) stayed here between Christmas and New Year's Eve. We were in search of the perfect place to disconnect from work and electronics and we found that perfect place in Terlingua! As Vrbo newbies, we weren't really sure what to expect but all of our expectations, plus more, were met during our stay.
From day one, Daryl and Janet were top notch communicators. There had been a few days of freeze prior to our visit that led to some plumbing issues at the house. Daryl reached out on Christmas Day to update us on the situation and Janet called as we were en route to Terlingua to let us know that everything was fixed. They must have worked round the clock to get everything repaired before our arrival which was greatly appreciated, especially with the holiday.
The views from the house and the quietness were unlike anything I had ever experienced. We enjoyed sunrises sitting on the back porch drinking coffee and amazing sunsets sitting around the propane fire pit in the front of the house. And coming from the suburbs, we loved the amazingingly clear skies. Although we spent quite a bit of time in the Big Bend state and national parks, we could easily have been satisfied just hanging out at the house.
If life ever takes us back to Big Bend and I sure hope it does, we'll be staying at Casa del Oso! Thank you, Daryl and Janet, for all that you did to make this a vacation to be remembered.
