About this property

Close to Big Bend National and State Parks!

Located on a working homestead with poultry and greenhouse, this cozy (aka small) room is a step up from basic camping. The room is 8x10, with a full size futon, small desk, and charging ports for your devices. The homestead is fully off-grid, with a focus on sustainability for the hosts who live on site as well as all guests.

You will have access to a firepit, communal kitchen, bathroom with flush toilets and hot water showers. One shower per person is included with your stay, additional showers are $5 and help offset the cost of hauling water from Study Butte.

360-degree views of the Big Bend night sky, freedom to hike and explore the property, also close enough to both the National and State Parks to make the ranch your starting or ending point for the day.

Important Information: Please Read-
On site there is a large water catchment pond which supplies the water for the ranch throughout most of the year, outside of drought conditions. There is absolutely no swimming in the pond as temping as it may be!

The majority of the year the ranch and surrounding areas are dry, typically seeing our rainy season over the late summer months. In the event of any rain, the roads to and from the ranch become mainly impassable. The roads are primarily bentonite clay which turns into a very thick mud when we receive rain and it will cause cars, trucks, SUV's, etc. to get stuck. This warning is not to discourage you, but to make you aware in the event we receive rain before, during, or after your stay. In the event you cancel before your booked date due to weather, a full refund will be offered to you.

Wonderful Stay
It was so nice to stay there, far away from everything, with clear skies at night and total privacy. Lovely place in an unusual setting. The only detail, just nit picking: it would be nice to have one toilet brush in each bathroom... Thanks a lot, Ashley and family!

stay in the williwacks
We could not find the location using GPS.. When finally conversing with the owner we found that the address was down a 7 mile road. We could not find the place and after over 2 hours driving dirt and rough roads we gave up and asked for our money back, I doubt we will ever use VRBO again.

Unique experience, friendly hosts
Beautiful surroundings, and very friendly, helpful, accommodating hosts. It is super off-grid and no frills, so make sure you know that going in, but if you’re up for an adventure, this is a great spot

Amenities no, Serenity yes.
If you want remote, this is the place. Call before for directions. There is a generator that runs all night. The bed I stayed on had some issues. I guess I didn’t understand the lack of amenities from the listing. The views are very good and other than the generator it was peaceful.
