Terlingua Creek Porch House: On Terlingua Creek

Summary:
Conveniently located two-bedroom two-bathroom home with porch overlooking Terlingua Creek

The Space:
Terlingua Creek Porch House is a two and one half bedrooms, two bath vacation home overlooking Terlingua Creek. Conveniently located just off highway 170 in Terlingua, with a porch overlooking a spring fed section of Terlingua Creek. This comfortable and convenient home is an ideal base for all of your Terlingua and Big Bend adventures.

The home has a private dining room, fully stocked kitchen, living room, two full bathrooms, and two and a half bedrooms. The master bedroom has a queen bed and private bathroom with a spacious shower. The second bedroom has two twin beds. There is also a semi-private space connected to the living room that has a twin bed and a small desk. With one queen and three twin beds, the Creek House sleeps five comfortably.

Covered Porch Overlooking the Creek: The signature feature of this vacation getaway is the spacious covered porch overlooking a spring fed portion of Terlingua Creek. Water is rare in the desert, but always in view just below our porch. In true Terlingua style, there is also a small, movable bar on the porch.

Fire Pit: Starry skies and morning coffee are best enjoyed beside our rock lined fire pit. Be sure to bring firewood. Small bundles of firewood can be purchased from the nearby Cottonwood General Store.

Terlingua Creek Porch House

Excellent location - convenient to Big Bend & Terlingua. Access via a nursery and "retired vehicle" storage lot - however very quiet. Very comfortable beds, lots of towels, large covered patio for enjoying evenings. Hosts were responsive to questions and provided for easy checkin/checkout process.

Great location when visiting Big Bend

Terlingua Creek Porch House Stay

Very peaceful location. The porch is amazing with beautiful sunsets and a great fire pit. Beds are comfortable and the kitchen well equipped, even more so now since I forgot my favorite spatulas. Ha! Will definitely stay again.

Great budget option

This was a good place for us to stay and I’d stay there again given the same circumstances. There are some rough edges and differed maintenance that would be good to do but if you are ok with a place that isn’t perfect then feel comfortable booking.

Great visit

The Creek house was exactly as listed. The porch alone is worth the stay with great views of Terlingua Creek. We enjoyed evenings with the fire pit and sky views. Exactly what we need in the desert, nothing fancy but comfortable and easy access to BBNP.

Terlingua Creek Time

The house was clean, well -equipped, and the plumbing worked! Two bathrooms was a bonus for 4 senior brothers. The location was perfect for hiking in Big Bend and visiting friends' graves in the Terlingua Ghost Town Cemetery.

Great house in great location

Loved the location of the house. It was just a couple of miles from the Terlingua Ghost Town (where there are several great places to eat) and the businesses that provide Big Bend tours. Also just a few miles from the entrance to Big Bend National Park.

Perfect for our little adventurers

We really enjoyed our stay here. The house is a bit dated inside, but beds were clean and comfy, the kitchen had all we needed, and the creek was really enjoyable. My 7yr thought it was a perfect spot for us. My husband and i enjoyed the porch overlooking the creek and the stars at night.

Great place for access to Big Bend

The location of the Terlingua Creek Porch House is perfect for access to Big Bend NP. The bed rooms were nice and the beds comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped. A big plus was that necessary items such as detergent, paper towels, soaps, shampoos, and even coffee, sugar, and creamer were provided. The porch facing the creek is beautiful but it was just too cold to take advantage of it. When we come back to Big Bend we will definitely check on the availability of the Porch House.

Great Place to Stay for Big Bend National Park

This property is in a great location for visiting Big Bend - only about 10 minutes from the entrance to the park. It is also about 5 minutes away from the Terlingua Ghost Town. The house is rustic, but clean and comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped and there were plenty of bath towels and extra blankets. The back porch has great views of the sunset!

Porch House is Great

This was our second time at the Porch House. Came for the Cook-off and also had a great time with family on the porch overlooking Terlingua Creek. House was clean and perfect for 5 adults. There is a nice kitchen and 2 full baths. There is also a grill on the porch that invites you to cook out. We didn't as our time was limited and we wanted to visit several spots while in Terlingua.

Perfect basecamp for Big Bend Natl Park and surrounding area

The Porch House was just what we needed as a basecamp to explore Big Bend. We were comfortable, and the property owners were communicative and provided a lot of information beforehand. The house is not "fancy" - in keeping with Terlingua - but we enjoyed dinner on the fabulous porch and were comfortable here. It is very close to Far Flung Outdoor Center, a couple of restaurants, and of course the edge of BBNP. Night skies are amazing, and it was a quiet environment every night, even with La Kiva and a little live music across the creek.

Perfect Location

My colleague and I were in town for a training that was held at Far Flung Outdoor Center. The Porch House provided the perfect home away from home during our week long stay. It was perfectly situated and less than a 5 minute drive to the Center. We were also very close to the grocery store and various restaurants in the area. The house was clean and cozy and the managers checked in regularly by email to ensure we were comfortable. I would definitely recommend this location to others planning a stay in the Terlingua area, and would stay here again if I make it back to the area.
