“This place was wonderful.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 May 2011

people found this review helpful

The Wild Horse Station was wonderful. For 3 nights we had a trailer, nestled into the mountainside with a fully stocked kitchen and living room. The bed was one of the best I have slept on in a motel and the porch at night with the stary sky was great to have. The lady who runs the place is also very nice. All this was 70$ per night, a great deal.

“Dirty Unit in Spectacular Location”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 April 2011

person found this review helpful

We recently stayed in Unit #2 for several days while visiting BBNP. On the positive side, the location was beautiful, the units are high up with great views in a quiet setting and fully equipped kitchen. I wanted to like the place, but the unit was quite rundown and dirty, primarily the floor looked like it had not been cleaned in some time (a swish or two of the old mop outside the door apparently did not do much) and my daughter's feet were filthy after walking around for 2 minutes. Other areas of the floor had not been swept properly (or washed) for some time (dead bugs and other debris). The unit needed a massive day long spring cleaning which I suspect has not been done in quite some time. I may sound picky but generally am not, this was just way below even a poor motel cleaning job. This was a 2 door trailer and one of the doors would not lock and could be pulled open from the outside -- the owner claimed the door just needed to be jiggled (jiggled right open is what happened). The bedroom AC unit broke down and again, owner claimed it just needed to be turned off and back on (we had done that, still broken), but it was our last night so we were okay by using the other 2 units. I could list other issues my husband commented on, but let's just say basic maintenance is lacking. We did look at Unit #1 which is a cabin (not a trailer) which was recently remodeled and despite this review, we might try that in the future, b/c we did like this quiet location. Unless every reviewer stayed in Unit #1, some of the other reviews look suspect to me. The price was cheap, but I still expect a basic cleanliness and a door that locks.

Room Tip: Would avoid except Unit #1

“Gateway to Big Bend”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 January 2011

I will admit when we saw it on-line, we pictured a dusty trailer with an old brown couch full of scorpions on the porch. Instead, we enjoyed an immaculate place to launch all of our adventures in the Big Bend/Terlingua area. The view is lovely and the stargazing was incredible. The owner is also just a lovely person. We would definitely stay here any time we come back.

“Takes you back in time.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 January 2011

Loved this place. This is the place to stay. It's quiet, secluded, you have a place to start a fire and look at a million stars at night and mountains are all around you to enjoy with your morning coffee. The you might get a television station, but you won't need it, no phone service, and you don't want it, and no radio stations. A place where you go back in time and just enjoy nature. The owner Mary was super. I highly recommed this place for families or couples. Hope you are able to check it out one day, you wont regret a minuteof it.
