This budget minded hotel is living proof of "you get what you pay for". Rooms are cheaper than anything else in the area, but rooms are shabby and veryworn. I debated about finding someplace to move, but had already unloaded the van so decided to stay put. The beds in our cabin were uncomfortable, the walls were thin, even flimsy... More

Stayed three nights in April 2012 in a "deluxe" room in the main section of the motel. We're budget minded travellers and don't mind roughing it to save a buck, but this place tested our will. The room was OK, but the bath was mildewy and the towels were awful. They give you plenty of towels and you'll need a... More

The rooms are clean, but dreary. Our rooms were in a modular building. Think double-wide. Dark paneling and a dim lamp. No real amenities. That said, the price is fair. All we needed was a place to flop after enjoying the park. You won't be tempted to spend any more time in your room than you have to. If nothing... More

We visited the Chisos Mining Company with a group of friends. There were 7 of us, and we stayed in "Cabin 29." We really wanted to stay in the "Creek Cabin," but unfortunately it was booked on the night we were there. But our cabin was great! There were extra linens, pillows, and blankets stored in all the closets, which... More

Clean,friendly and reasonable. Located between the ghost town and study butte next to the kosmic kowgirl kafe. The kafe isn't right now but is supposed to reopen in September. I get down to the area a couple times a months and usually stay in the ghost town, but it looks like i have a new home for my visits.

The small cabin we stayed in was great for my wife and myself, two double beds and one single and throw in a kitchenette. Nothing fancy but a good place to rest and fall out after a days hiking from 5-10 miles a day. We brought our own food and did our own cooking, we only ate out our last... More

We were unable to get in touch with our original hotel reservations due to late arrival (11:30) and Chisos Mining Co Motel had a night phone! What a Savior! There were 5 in our party and they had us in the double wide around the corner. The property was wonderful! Full kithcen, 2 baths and a reasonable price. We were... More

A couple of buddies and I stayed at the CMC Creek House last year for a mountain biking trip. While most of the cabins seemed ok, the Creek House needs work. It's not really a house, it's a single-wide, a pickup camper, a closed in living room and porch. Although this setup is really what Terlingua is all about, the... More

This is where I always stay in the Big Bend area. No phone, no Wi-Fi, 4 channels on the TV (if you get room with one) and the beds are ancient. Besides that - the location is perfect for Park activities or a jumping off points to the North. Rooms are very simple and dated, but they are clean, the... More
