Where to Stay Near Big Bend, West Texas's Stunning National Park | Condé Nast Traveler

"With its cluster of 12 desert casitas, evocative of Marfa artist Donald Judd’s stark concrete installations, Willow House has been thoughtfully designed for versatility. Its guests can revel in unmatched quiet and solitude, as there are no shared walls in the tiny houses. Or, if you're feeling social instead, you can mix up a batch of Negronis in the fit-for-a-foodie communal kitchen, making friends around the open-air firepit. Either way, you're sure to fall in love with the earthy, modernist decor and proximity to the national park, just six miles away by car." - Emily Pennington

11 Most Romantic Getaways in Texas, from Desert Casitas to Historic Mansions

"After a long day of hiking in Big Bend National Park or a float down the Rio Grande River, there’s no better place to hang your hat than one of Willow House’s concrete casitas. A true labor of love, the proprietor spent years sourcing building materials that complimented the desert terrain and added personal touches, like works of art by her grandfather and dishes by a local ceramicist. Listen to the coyotes howl as you enjoy a Ranch Water on your private patio or stake out a hanging bed for a front-row seat to the magic that is the Milky Way. If you don’t feel up to cooking, the nearby Starlight Theater Restaurant & Saloon has cozy booths and award-winning chili (which, if you know anything about Terlingua’s annual cook off, is saying something)." - Tommie Ethington

Beautifully designed and appointed, as you would expect with a luxury property in this price range. Perched on a plateau with killer views and not far from the Big Bend National Park entrance. We stayed in Casita 1, with two beds. Drawbacks: for $600 plus a night, there is no cleaning of the room or even a change of towels. Bathroom needs way more light because it’s dark and cement. Mattresses were soft. Main house for cooking is beautiful but lacked in practice when 3 groups wanted to prepare meals at the same time. Didn’t encounter a single staff member in 3 days. It’s a nice property and the pool looks awesome for when you can use it, but expected more for the price.

I stayed at the prosperity, casita. I most likely will not stay anywhere else in. Terlingual from now on. And I have stayed at some other pretty. Amazing places there. This place takes the cake. Commercial kitchen and breathtaking views on top of that management is amazing. They're so tentative and on point with whatever questions you may have An amazing place ran by awesome people.Thank you, willow house for making my family's experience unforgettable

My wife stayed at Willow House with friends months ago. Her stay was beautiful. She decided for my Christmas present to reserve a room for her and I so that I can have the same experience and stay. Unfortunately my wife's family had an unexpected event where we needed to postpone our trip. I'm not sure who I spoke to , but they were very understanding and polite. This is exactly how great customer service is. We will be returning at a future date. I'm giving 5 Stars for the conversation and understanding I received today with staff, and additional giving 5 stars on the rest on behalf of my wife's past stay. thank you again.

This vacation rental far exceeded our expectations. The entire property had a pleasant aroma, creating a welcoming atmosphere from the start. The pictures don't do it justice - the actual space is even more beautiful. The main house was perfectly designed for cooking and relaxation. We loved the thoughtful touches, including a cozy fireplace, a selection of books, and a curated music collection. The kitchen was fully equipped with all the essentials and more. The pool was a highlight, with cool and clean water that was perfect for refreshing dips. The interior design struck a great balance between curated and minimalist, adding to the property's charm. We'll definitely be coming back!

This Casita hotel is incredible! Each Casita's porch faces the desert, making each very private. Small, but beautiful rooms appointed with nice bedding and decorated to fit in to the desert. There is a main house guests can use that has a full kitchen and BBQ grill. There is also two outdoor showers guests may use. Our only disappointment with our room was that the mattress was very soft and not supported well. Would have also loved more comfortable outdoor chairs to watch the night sky with. Other than that, fabulous, and will definitely be back!

This place far exceeded our expectations. The pictures don’t do the property enough justice. In the main house, everything for cooking and relaxing was well thought out. All the cooking essentials are there, plus some. The pool was surprisingly cool and the water smelled…pleasant…. The interior design feels curated yet minimalistic. We will definitely be coming back

The Willow House is a desert oasis in every sense of the word. My daughter and I stayed for one night during a trip to Big Bend and we were completely blown away by the beauty and tranquility of Willow House. Our room was serene, the bed was soft, the shower was hot -- everything was exactly as it should be. The Main House was also spectacular! A huge shared kitchen and multiple dining areas + hang-out zones. The attention to detail was incredible. They have truly thought of everything! The pool felt amazing after a long day of hiking, and stargazing from the hammock bed was a definitely a highlight of our trip. I also want to mention the excellent communication. When I reached out to see if we could check in an hour early, Molly quickly replied and let us know that it was a busy day for the housekeeping staff but we were welcome to use any of the common spaces. Our only regret was that we couldn't move in.

We traveled with 24 members of our extended family and spent 3 magical days at Willow House. The design of the casitas and the main house is perfection with luxury amenities and surrounded by the beauty of the desert. We cooked and ate meals together, did yoga in the morning and hiked at Big Bend National Park in the afternoon and after sharing a fantastic homemade meal under the stars each evening, finished our day sitting around the fire pit until it was time for bed. Our stay was restorative, fun and will always be a special place for our family!

The view is breathtaking and I'm glad they added the little pool to the property. It's actually pretty deep. This was a great way for me to recharge from work cause I was over it.

I went to a wedding at Willow House and it was beautiful. The casitas are well appointed and well designed, and the view is incredible. In rough and tumble Terlingua, Willow House feels more like Marfa, and the vistas look out into Big Bend, with tons of ocotillos and lots of open space. Really beautiful place and a good setting for a wedding. I didn't get to stay here, but the rooms looked really nice - a much fancier respite from the desert than other hotels in Terlingua.

I never experienced such a cool stay before. This place is definitely in the middle of nowhere near Big Bend. I highly recommend anyone staying here. My spouse and I went with another couple and truly fell in love with the room and outdoor desert. The compound has I think ten rooms or maybe more and then a huge common area with a huge kitchen. They have large bbq to share. I loved the fire pit area. We got really lucky and had the owners sister staying at one of the rooms. She had tons of friends and I think was celebrating a birthday. They had the cutest little pup that just free ranged around the compound. They were all so kind and offered their food to us. The manager gave us such amazing recommendations for hiking spots in Big Bend Park. The two guys who own Reese's bros bbq were apart of the group and they cooked up some good food. They offered us some and I fell in love with the butter tortillas! The rooms itself were very clean and the sheets were such a nice linen material. All of the product were high quality. We fell in love with the shampoo and conditioner so we went home and bought the same brand. If you are looking for a nice luxury stay under the stars this is the place to be!
