This home is a gem. We arrived pretty worn out from the long drive and truthfully we weren't expecting anything special, but this place was definitely a surprise. It has a charm that is unique, it was very clean and so well stocked with everything you'd need for a comfortable vacation stay. There is ample space, four comfortable beds and two bathrooms. The kitchen had everything we needed as well as beautiful propane bbq pit right on the back patio. There is an HD smart T.V. and very good wifi, but spotty cell reception in the area (which is a small sacrifice for such serenity) The porch house was absolutely perfect, and as the name suggests, the porch, which is basically a huge covered patio overlooking Terilingua creek, is amazing! The veiw is so beautiful and omg the stars at night were the best I've seen in my life. This is the perfect spot for a family to stay who wants to enjoy Big Bend, but still stay somewhere comfortable. Will definitely be back!

Great place for access to Big Bend
The location of the Terlingua Creek Porch House is perfect for access to Big Bend NP. The bed rooms were nice and the beds comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped. A big plus was that necessary items such as detergent, paper towels, soaps, shampoos, and even coffee, sugar, and creamer were provided. The porch facing the creek is beautiful but it was just too cold to take advantage of it. When we come back to Big Bend we will definitely check on the availability of the Porch House.

Spent the weekend exploring Big Bend Park with friends. This was a quiet, practical place to serve as base camp. We had all the amenities needed as well as close to restaurants for evening dinners.

Porch House is Great
This was our second time at the Porch House. Came for the Cook-off and also had a great time with family on the porch overlooking Terlingua Creek. House was clean and perfect for 5 adults. There is a nice kitchen and 2 full baths. There is also a grill on the porch that invites you to cook out. We didn't as our time was limited and we wanted to visit several spots while in Terlingua.

Great house in great location
Loved the location of the house. It was just a couple of miles from the Terlingua Ghost Town (where there are several great places to eat) and the businesses that provide Big Bend tours. Also just a few miles from the entrance to Big Bend National Park.

Perfect basecamp for Big Bend Natl Park and surrounding area
The Porch House was just what we needed as a basecamp to explore Big Bend. We were comfortable, and the property owners were communicative and provided a lot of information beforehand. The house is not "fancy" - in keeping with Terlingua - but we enjoyed dinner on the fabulous porch and were comfortable here. It is very close to Far Flung Outdoor Center, a couple of restaurants, and of course the edge of BBNP. Night skies are amazing, and it was a quiet environment every night, even with La Kiva and a little live music across the creek.

Overall, the place was ok. We did have an ant problem which in the desert can be. Contacted Daryl and he sent someone over. But it didn't take care of the problem. We finally got some spray and sprayed the front area where they were coming in. Also you could tell there had been a problem. Upon further investagation, we found dead ants in corners of other parts of the house. So that tells me the floors weren't swept before we arrived. Beware tho, there are window units for AC. The one in the living room was extremely noisy. The kitchen was very well equiped with dishes, pans etc. Not much for spices except for salt & pepper. If you need plastic wrap, aluminum foil, bring some. It isn't provided. The deck was nice and enjoyed sitting out there eating breakfast. Even when it got dark, you could watch & gaze at the stars. I did let Daryl know my complaints, so this review shouldn't be new to him. Overall as a family, we discussed the whole situation and said we would stay again.

Perfect for our little adventurers
We really enjoyed our stay here. The house is a bit dated inside, but beds were clean and comfy, the kitchen had all we needed, and the creek was really enjoyable. My 7yr thought it was a perfect spot for us. My husband and i enjoyed the porch overlooking the creek and the stars at night.

We had great experience with communicating with the owner and the check process was on point. The location was a bit interesting but the hills and creek view was nice. The place could use a bit of updating but not bad at all.

Great Place to Stay for Big Bend National Park
This property is in a great location for visiting Big Bend - only about 10 minutes from the entrance to the park. It is also about 5 minutes away from the Terlingua Ghost Town. The house is rustic, but clean and comfortable. The kitchen is well equipped and there were plenty of bath towels and extra blankets. The back porch has great views of the sunset!

Perfect Location
My colleague and I were in town for a training that was held at Far Flung Outdoor Center. The Porch House provided the perfect home away from home during our week long stay. It was perfectly situated and less than a 5 minute drive to the Center. We were also very close to the grocery store and various restaurants in the area. The house was clean and cozy and the managers checked in regularly by email to ensure we were comfortable. I would definitely recommend this location to others planning a stay in the Terlingua area, and would stay here again if I make it back to the area.

Nice property in a great location
This well appointed rustic property is close to everything and short drive to the entrance of the national park. There are not many homes of this size available for rent in Terlingua. It is very clean, has everything you need, comfortable beds and a fire pit. I highly recommend this property for small families and anyone needing a little exra space not looking for a glamping experience.

Clean and cozy, at the best location outside of Big Bend National Park - just 10 minutes from the west entrance. And maybe 20 minutes from Big Bend State Park. Near the Ghost Town, restaurants, gas station, general store...just a great location!

This property was a good fit for two couples. In warmer weather it would have been great to sit out on the porch and watch the sun set. We made good use of the kitchen and it was the center of activity. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

Nice digs in the desert.
This property has just about everything you need when you visit Big Bend NP. It is clean, comfortable and has, as the name might suggest, a very nice outdoor porch. It is rustic, but very comfortable.
