Crystal Mountain Cabin: Custom Built 2019. Relax in Seclusion.

Summary:
Crystal Mountain Cabin: Custom Built in 2019. Secluded and Private.
• Modern Home on 65 Private Acres
• Large Livingroom and Kitchen
• Patios and Decks with Mountain Views
• Fire Ring for Campfires & S'mores

The Space:
Crystal Mountain Cabin was custom built in 2019. Relax inside or outside and enjoy the mountain views. Built to accommodate four guests in comfort and style.

Rent one home or two. The listing is for one home. If you have a larger group, consider booking Crystal Mountain Two, that listing is for this same house PLUS another home next door. The second home is for overflow only and never rents out separately. You will never have to share your space or the 65 acres with anyone other than your own group.

Crystal Mountain Cabin on Terlingua Ranch is the ideal home base for your visit to the Big Bend Region. Modern design will set the perfect tone for your Big Bend adventure. The surprising seclusion will provide ample privacy and solitude.

Relax inside or outside. Lots of space, large windows, covered decks, a large stone patio, and 65 private acres provide lots of options on where to hang out.

At night watch meteors fall and satellites fly overhead as you marvel at the Milky Way. Relax around the campfire with a refreshing beverage, maybe even a sausage on a stick, or better yet, some s’mores. Whatever you eat and drink around the fire ring, will go well with campfire stories, some songs, or whatever else you want to do. It’s just you and your partner, or family and friends, under a starry Texas sky.

During the day, head into to park, down to Terlingua, or to the Rio Grande, or just enjoy the home and the secluded 65 acres of Chihuahuan Desert habitat. At the property, relax inside or outside or go for a hike around the rugged and scenic property. Wildlife and diverse desert plant life and abundant and varied.

The living room and kitchen are open concept with lots of space and amazing views through large picture windows. The kitchen is fully stocked with dishes, cookware, utensils, a large fridge, glass top stove and oven, dishwasher, and all the basics you would expect in a large kitchen. The bedrooms have king bed in the master and a queen bed in the second bedroom. The bathroom is spacious and stylish with two sinks and a large shower.

Terlingua Ranch Lodge, just ten minutes away has the Bad Rabbit Café; for great food, cold drinks, and frequent live music. The lodge office is also the place to register if you want to explore the Christmas Mountain conservation area. Terlingua and the western entrance to Big Bend National Park is a short 35-minute drive away. Adventure outfitters located in Terlingua offer river trips, horseback riding, jeep tours, ATV adventures, Jeep rentals, guided hikes, and mountain bike rentals. The famous Terlingua Ghost Town is just 40 minutes away. Both the Ghost Town and the Terlingua/Study Butte area offer shopping, dining, drinking, live music, art galleries, and more. Heading another 15 minutes west from Terlingua will take you to Lajitas for more upscale dining options, a few great shops, and the chance to meet Clay Henry, the beer drinking goat that happens to be the mayor. Big Bend Ranch State Park (the national park’s wild and rugged cousin) is right there as well. Stop in at the Barton Warnock center just before you get to Lajitas for an overview of the park, museum, and a terrific book shop. Alpine, Fort Davis, Marfa, and the McDonald Observatory are also within easy day trip range.

Come on down. Enjoy the Big Bend. Do as much or as little as you like. You’ll have a memorable time and will likely start planning your return trip before you even leave. That’s great. We’ll love to have come back over and over. In fact, that’s how the owner of Crystal Mountain became the owner. He came out here so often and enjoyed staying at other Big Bend Vacation Rental properties so much that he eventually decided to acquire his own properties. He now owns Crystal Mountain One and Two and Crystal Valley, just a short drive away. He was very deliberate and considerate in incorporating all the things he enjoyed the most at other rentals, plus adding extra touches to create the ultimate Big Bend vacation home base. Now, he’s eager to share it all with you.

Guest Access:
The whole house and 65 private acres are exclusively yours. The house next door will remain vacant, unless you add it to your rental. Contact us if you would like to upgrade to use both houses.

Interaction with Guests:
We manage several properties and live a few miles away. We are available by phone, text, email, or messages through Airbnb. We are typically only on site for cleaning or maintenance issues.

Peace and quiet
Excellent property out in God’s Country. Very easy to get to. The dirt road to the home is accessible with an ordinary automobile. You have complete solitude out here. The home matched the pictures. Everything worked great in the house and we found it very clean. Ample water supply and hot water for your shower! Communication with the owners was excellent. We will return!!

Great stay for trip to Big Bend
Property was just as listed. Convenient location to explore Big Bend. Nice and clean as well. Property managers had good communication. We didn’t need anything during our stay but they did reach out periodically to make sure our stay was going smoothly. Would stay here again.

The view each morning was absolutely extraordinary! As was the evening sky! We couldn’t wait to get to get back there each day from our trip into the national park. I actually think it was the best part of our trip! Highly recommend it.

Wow! What a View!
This property is absolutely breathtaking. The home has everything you could ever need. It is well appointed and very beautiful. But, it is the location that is beyond fabulous. We have stayed in many VRBO properties across the USA and Europe. This property is my all time favorite!!! I was really sad to leave. You are in your own little valley between the peaks of the mountains. It is so quiet and peaceful. I LOVED THIS PROPERTY!!! If I am ever in this area again, I will book this property! Absolutely phenomenal!!

The cabin was perfect. The view from the back porch was amazing. The stars put on a great show.
The home was perfect for star gazing. I was able to capture beautiful milky way and sunset pictures. We saw an abundance of wildlife that included mule deers, javalinas and birds. The home is beautiful as well. The Beastie Boys DVD was a bonus!

Wonderful home in the Big Bend area
This home was a wonderful home base for exploring the Big Bend area. The house itself is wonderful: comfortable, clean, and well appointed. It was the perfect size for our family of four. It also is very private, so we felt truly remote and had fantastic stargazing at night. We will definitely be back!

Loved the house, very comfortable for two couples. A bit far out and it helped to have a truck when driving over the rocky roads. Amazing views from the house. Water pressure in shower was light. A/C and heating control/ directions were needed.

Secluded, beautiful view, and wildlife!!!
Rented this place for my girlfriends bday. As soon as we pulled up we fell in love with the seclusion and views around the rental house. Everything was very clean and very nicely laid out. Cooked dinner, ate outside and enjoyed touching the stars at night. But the best part is that we seen a beer about twenty yards from the back patio… We also seen two mule deer and rabbits on the property. Just a great experience, bottom line is that I will be back next year. Only one slight issue, the propane grill tray was not clean and we had to stop cooking to clean it so we did not start a fire in the grill. So check it and clean it before cooking. See you next year!!!

Our 3rd Stay at This Property
We have been staying here annually for the last 3 years. There is a reason we keep coming back. The seclusion, views, and wildlife are all excellent. The place is well maintained and very comfortable. We do a lot of hiking and biking at BBNP, BBRanch, and Lajitas during our stay. There is a decent amount of hiking around the property as well. If you stay here be sure to check out Bad Rabbit Cafe down the road in TRL. Food is good with some of the nicest people you will meet.

Location and scenary were awesome!! Saw some mule deer one morning and maybe an antelope.
Property was clean and very nicely maintained with everything we needed. Recommend putting another king size bed or two twins in the bedroom that has a queen. Maybe a handrail to get up the steps would be nice. My 85 year old mother would have had a bit easier time. But she ABSOLUTELY loved the house! Would definintely rent it again and recommend it to friends.

Unique Experience we will never forget
Our family of 4 (2 college-aged boys) and my husband and I rented this place for a few nights while visiting Big Bend National Park for the first time. The place is INCREDIBLE. You simply cannot ask for anything more. I couldn't wait to get up every morning to look outside and take it in. The stars at night are something like I've never seen (we are from Michigan). We grilled once, played games at the kitchen island and can't find a negative thing to say! If you are thinking about this at all, JUST rent it. I promise you won't regret it. It is remote but yet power everything and great wifi. We absolutely loved it.

Really enjoyed it!
We had a very nice weekend at Crystal Mountain 1! Even when you're inside, it feels like you're outside with the wraparound windows. We went over to Big Bend, which isn't super close but it's also a nice and easy drive. And just hanging out at the house was very enjoyable. My only critique is that the cleaners also need to clean outside, on the porch, since that is such a big part of the attraction of the house. But that didn't diminish our stay.

An oasis in the Texas desert!
This property is the perfect place to stay while enjoying the Big Bend area! Some of our favorite things : watching the sun on the surrounding mountains at different times of day, star gazing at night, the peaceful silence, the great views from every window, the comfortable deck seating to enjoy the outdoors, the convenience to Big Bend National Park. The property manager was excellent at preparing us for the few limitations of the property (gravel drive, drinking water). We’d love to stay again!

It’s long 30 minute drive from Terlingua restaurants and grocery and a 45 mile drive to the park entrance, make sure that is what you want. The home is clean, spacious and a beautiful setting against some hills. The beds were comfortable and the Wifi was fast enough to stream.
