WOW. This was an absolutely epic stay, and I don't say that lightly. We spent 4 nights in early December in the Mariscal House which we picked because it is the one on the far end of the property. The Mariscal lets you see the sunrise every morning either from the bedroom window, patio, or fire pit area. The sun comes up over the Chisos Mountains (You can clearly see the Mule Ears from this spot) and it is absolutely amazing.
The quiet and solitude of our stay was amazing and slightly eerie lol. It just took a day to get used to the quiet. The house is very small but has everything you need for 2 people: full kitchen, shower, outdoor grill, 2 TV's, wifi, etc. The firepit each night was my favorite part as I enjoyed a bourbon or 8 each night after hiking all day in Big Bend.
The only issue is making sure you do NOT use GPS to get here. Follow the directions they send you or you will end up in the wrong location. The road up to the property is a little sketchy and rocky but you get used to it pretty quickly. read more
