Lajitas House - River and Mountain Views

Summary:
Lajitas House offers comfort and convenience with 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Located in the historic Lajitas Resort, just 30 minutes from Big Bend National Park, 20 minutes from the Terlingua Ghost Town, one mile from Big Bend Ranch State Park, and a short walk to the Lajitas boardwalk. Relax in the shade of our front porch. Prepare your meals in our fully equipped kitchen. Visit with family or friends in our beautifully decorated living room. Retire for the night in our comfortable bedrooms.

The Space:
Lajitas House is in the historic Lajitas Resort area just 30 minutes from the beauty of the Big Bend National Park and 1 mile from the Big Bend Ranch State Park. Both parks have a variety of hikes and some truly spectacular scenery. Be sure to visit the local Barton Warnock Environmental Education Center on the east side of Lajitas for information and interesting exhibits.

Afterwards, relax in the shade of our front porch, enjoy the pristine view out across the shimmering Rio Grande River into the majestic mountains of Mexico or walk down the hill and sit by the river. Enjoy the peacefulness that underlies the Lajitas experience.

Lajitas House is within walking distance to the Lajitas boardwalk which offers shopping and a full service spa. Walk to the historic Lajitas Trading Post, which includes a deli, or to the Candellia, an excellent restaurant on the boardwalk where you can enjoy a meal in rustic elegance outdoors or in. The Thirsty Goat Bar offers a variety of libations in a comfortable and richly decorated environment.

Lajitas House is ideally located for easy access to resort facilities in Lajitas (except the private pool). However, please note that at particularly busy times, the resort may occasionally limit access to the golf course, dining options, or other resort amenities. We recommend that guests check with Lajitas Resort to verify access to any resort amenities they may plan to utilize, including world-class golfing at Black Jack's Crossing, the Agave Spa, and the Equestrian Center.

A twenty minutes drive east and you are in the historic Terlingua Ghost Town. The world famous Chili Cook-off Championship occurs annually early in November. In Terlingua you can enjoy dining at The Starlight Theatre Restaurant and Bar and shopping at the Trading Post.

A short drive west from Lajitas House on the spectacular River Road (Texas 170) takes you through the magnificent vistas of Big Bend Ranch State Park and past historic Fort Leaton to the official border crossing at Presidio. On the Mexican side is the city of Ojinaga, site of the historic Battle of Ojinaga between the rebel soldiers of Pancho Villa and Mexican Federales.

Recently the crossing into Boquillas, a small Mexican border town on the Rio Grande Mexico became a reality. If you choose to make this adventure part of your Big Bend experience, you must have a passport. Boquillos is on the east side of Big Bend National Park. Remember: You must have an unexpired passport.

Beautiful Views Lajitas Home
This house is a favorite of our family. The location for access to activities ranging from Park hiking to canoeing , stargazing and photography, Visiting the ghost town of Terlingua or the chili cook offs … it truly is just a magnificent place to stay. Clean and great parking. And amazing hosts. They are very good at helping you with any requests you might have. If you are going to Big Bend stay here.

Great home with convenient location
Home was clean, spacious, across from Lajitas resort which has multiple amenities to take advantage of and a great view. My small group and I were pleased with the stay, communication, and close access to Lajitas Golf Resort which features a restaurant, bar and amazing golf. Also just a 30 minute ride to Big Bend National Park and an even shorter drive to the State Park. Enjoyed the quiet evenings and views of the mountains and Rio Grande. Would stay again.

Wonderful Big Bend Rental
Great house with wonderful views. Nicely accommodates 4-6. Large kitchen and dining area. Comfortable accommodations. The sunsets and sunrises are beautiful. Great location to take in nearby towns and sights. Be sure to take the scenic drive to Presido and Closed Canyon. BBNP entrance is just up the highway from the rental. Would definitely rebook this rental for my next trip to BBNP. Hosts were great and we had no issues.

Nice location but not best communication
We definitely enjoyed the home and it’s location was as described. We enjoyed walking to the boardwalk and sunsets were amazing!! A few negatives: We needed to dispose of our garbage early on and had to text Kate several times to find out we had to go to “dumpsters in Lajita off road” … hmmmm. Also we lost power due to wind storm and I didn’t know if it was just us so I contacted her to find out it was county wide. I really think it would’ve been very easy for her to contact us and tell us the situation and what she knew instead of me having to call her to inquire. Overall house was clean .. freezer was dirty and cobwebs in the house should be attended to.

Great location for visiting the Big Bend State Park and the Big Bend National Park. Plenty of cooking facilities for eating in. Comfortable beds. Hot water for 4. Good TV options (who needs TV???) for those that had to see the football games. Beautiful sunsets and star gazing. Plenty of parking. Would return.

Nice & Comfy - Beautiful Hilltop view
This place was great for a peaceful family getaway. All the comforts of home. Sits right on the edge of State Park entrance so you can explore the wild. And back to comforts of home. Great relaxing view from top of hill while sitting on the front porch. Think I’ll be happy renting again. Thanks for making your home available.

Big Bend Vacation
Excellent for Big Bend visit. Comfortable house, pleasant view, nice sunset from patio, easy access to both parks. Enjoyed our stay. Good value compared to the resort & other "fancy" properties in area. House could use a better clean but nothing terrible to report just some spiderwebs in the bedrooms & fridge could be wiped down better. Recommend driving 17 miles to Terlingua grocery for best food selection & a really good pizza place. Overall enjoyed our stay & would recommend to other hikers.
