We had a very nice stay at The Getaway! The home is on the small side, but feels more spacious due to the high ceiling and the open layout of the kitchen, dining and living areas. We spent most of our time on the covered porch or on the screened dining porch. The breezes are amazing! NOTHING beats the night sky here! Turn off all lights to the house and the stars pop out. There’s even a telescope in the home for stargazing! Bring books or other things to keep you occupied in your downtime as there is no TV. One thing to keep in mind is power outages are possible and we experienced a 7-8 hour outage our first day. The home has non potable water from a rain catchment system and a pump moves the water to all faucets and the toilet. No electricity equals no lights OR water. Flashlights, food and drinking water are HIGHLY recommended. There is a propane grill that was nice to have during the outage. There is a drinking water dispenser in the kitchen, but again, it’s electric, so plan ahead. This home is 10 miles down Terlingua Ranch Rd, which was a negative for us, but may be a plus for others. Once on the highway, the trip to Terlingua and the Chisos Basin are a relatively easy trip. There was nothing to spray down the counters after cooking. We spilled water on the kitchen floor and when we wiped it up the paper towel was pretty dirty, so it could’ve been cleaner. There were spiderwebs, but I guess that’s to be expected in the desert. I knocked off a cleanliness star because of these things. All in all this is a great rental if you’re looking for seclusion, peace and quiet.
