About this property

Mimi's Guestroom - Texas' best kept secret!

Historically accurate restoration of a dry-stacked rock home with sealed cement interior walls, air conditioning and spectacular views of Big Bend National Park.

The decor is rustic luxury with a touch of Mexico and the large clawfoot tub is perfectly positioned for guests to soak in the expansive views.

The La Posada Guesthouse, offering six unique rooms, is located in the heart of Terlingua’s Ghost Town, minutes from the Big Bend National Park and The Big Bend Ranch State Park in far West Texas. We are surrounded by a million acres of state and national parks!

All guests enjoy large terraces and courtyards with fire pits, an outdoor kitchen and extraordinary views of historic Terlingua in front of the Chisos Mountain range.

A beautiful spot to watch the stars with a firepit for company. The room was exceptionally clean with thick white fluffy towels and robes. The AC worked well to keep it cool and the fridge- freezer was right outside the door. It's very peaceful up there and looks back down on the small town, we loved the quiet. A great spot to launch into Big Bend National Park with some good food options around. Mostly it's very rustic around there. BYOB to quite a few eateries. Don't forget to take sugar and milk for your coffee!!

The room and location was a good balance between creature comforts and a remote off-the-grid vibe. Would definitely stay again

Enjoyed stay

We stayed in #6. The cabin was nicely decorated and view was great. The cabin is right next to another cabin and there’s quite a bit of shared outside space which made it feel more like a hotel than our own remote cabin. Luckily our neighbors weren’t loud people so we had no problem. The coffee shop down the hill was fantastic.

We loved the view!! The room and bed was great. Location was great too. My husband and i are older so the stairs were a lot but liked our cassita the best. Also, checking in on Saturday, the Boat House had music playing later. Went for quite.

A slice of Heaven in the desert

We loved our stay at Mimi’s and the location is perfect. Just a short walk to our favorite restaurant, the Starlight Theater. Terligua swings to its own beat and we dig it. Weather was perfect in January. We could spend a month here. The view from the patio was stunning & the stars were big & bright. Definitely plan to return.

True Texas Escape

Staying in Mimi's Guestroom was one of the very BEST decisions I made when planning my Far West Texas trip with friends. In fact, it was my my favorite overnight stay of my entire 10-day trip. What made it so was because it was completely comfortable, authentic, classy, and unassumingly cool. Waking up in that incredibly comfortable king-sized bed & watching the pre-dawn light & eventual sunrise come up over the mountains was an unforgettable experience. Can't thank them enough for & loved everything!

This is a beautiful concept but extremely difficult for someone that walk with a cane. Should have been informed how difficult gaining access could be. Also city water was contaminated and there was no notification to guest that shower water was dangerous. Other than that beautiful.

Would absolutely book again!

The town of Terlingua has so much charm, and you have a great view overlooking the city and the surrounding mountains at this property. Be aware that the guest room is the other half of the same building, but we were lucky enough that no one else had booked the bunk room. The property has everything you need, and the town has a general store nearby for anything you might’ve forgotten to bring. I would definitely stay here again! Highly recommend Santa Elena Canyon!!

This should not be advertised as Mimi's Guestroom. The coffee shop/guesthouse are under a different name so it doesn't pop up on google maps and the locals have no idea what you are talking about when asking for directions to Mimi's Guestroom.

what a tease

this place looks perfect.. online. The pictures are great and it actually is pretty nice on the inside, however, looks can be deceiving. #1 very little privacy. Upon arrival, we were surprised to see that this is a room in a house, not a standalone structure. our neighbors had a party until 1:30 right outside our windows where they could obviously see into our room with the blinds drawn. we ended up having to cut off all the lights in our room so that they couldn't see us. #2 Rats! There are rats in this house and they are relentless. I had to give my girlfriend earplugs to sleep because they were chewing so loud! I repeatedly banged the ceiling above our heads where they were chewing multiple holes through and they kept coming back. #3 Zero Remorse: I POLITELY texted the owner that night to see if we could change rooms with no response. what is even worse is that he never texted or called back to this day! I have no remorse giving this place one star. if you like people watching you in bed and rats chewing over your face all night then this is the place for you.

Response from VrboOwner on 1 Apr 2020
John, We were mortified to read your review of Mimi's Guestroom and have reached out to you via email three times with no response from you. Please accept our sincerest apologies for not responding to your 1:00 am text message! From now on, we will be asking guests to *call* Joel directly with any middle-of-the-night urgencies, because a ringing phone will wake him up more than one ding from a text notification. As you know, the rodent problem was taken care of the day you departed Terlingua, so will not be an issue for our future guests. We see feedback as a gift and thank you for your input. Again, we are so sorry you did not enjoy your stay at our hotel.
