Boca de la Roca Private Mountain Lodge

The Boca de la Roca cabin is built on 81 acres of private desert mountain property (no neighbors, no highways, no noise), and is nestled at the base of our 4,700-foot mountain - in the most majestic mountain range in Big Bend. The cabin is surrounded by mountains, large mesas, cacti, and other eye-catching desert scenery. All of Big Bend is beautiful, but we undoubtedly have the best 360-degree views of anywhere in Big Bend - hands down.

Relax and unwind with all of the creature comforts of home, and soak up the undeniably best views in Big Bend. This Terlingua lodging destination was built with an abundance of windows throughout to compliment the landscape day and night, accentuating the scenic terrain not only while outdoors, but from inside as well. The cabin is fully furnished, with a clean, luxurious, modern with an aged-elegance appeal. And it’s 100% off-grid – solely powered by El Sol.

Boca de la Roca rocks!
We had a great stay at Boca de la Roca. The house is located at the top of the hill with a 360 degrees of amazing views and it is a short drive to the Big Band national park. Being there feels like you are transported into another, tranquil, world. Each of the well-appointed bedrooms has its own bathroom and the kitchen/leaving area is equipped with everything we needed. Maybe, having a toaster would be nice, but maybe it is intentionally not there as the house is solar powered. We would definitively stay here again if in the area.

If you’re looking for a quiet location with amazing views look no further. The house is beautiful and has all the necessities covered. We spent Christmas with our teenagers and had an amazing time. If you don’t have a vehicle that is able to maneuver through primitive roads, you may want to reconsider. We visited Big Bend National park and Fort Davis mountains during our visit.

A+ Adventure
If you're looking for adventure, tranquility, beautiful sunrises and sunsets, easy access to Big Bend Parks, and just a peaceful place to rest after a full day of activities, then Boca de la Roca is the place for you! Communication with Ross and Christin was excellent. Finding the meeting point was easy thanks to their directions despite having no cell service. Following Christin up the rocky mountainous road was as other reviewers describe, but my front-wheel drive rented Lexus RX350 made it up and down for 5 days without issue. As for the property, it's super clean, well appointed, nicely decorated, and exactly as described. The kitchen, dining, and sitting room is in the middle of the property. The 2 bedrooms with en suite baths are at each end with individual entrances. We enjoyed the separation and the space of the property. Additionally, the deck was lovely for nightly star gazing and relaxing. We lucked out with a massive lighting storm one night that was incredible. Be warned, if you are used to living in the city or even the suburbs like me, it may take you a night to adjust to silence. No traffic, sirens, or loud noises. Nothing! I had to turn on white noise to get to sleep the first night. The house is about 30 mins from Big Bend and a few restaurants and markets. We got groceries in Alpine, and enjoyed evenings at home except for one night at the Long Draw Pizza, which was excellent. I would highly recommend this property as your home base in Big Bend.

Unique Experience
We were met by Christin, one of the owners and followed her to the cabin. Would be hard to find on your own the first time but easy to return to once you have been there. Everything was exactly as described. Ross had called beforehand to go over everything and Christin took us through the property again when we arrived. Be prepared to conserve water and utilities as it is off the grid and rainwater supplied. If we hadn’t chosen this area in mid-June when temps were above 100 during the day I am sure we would have enjoyed it more. We cooked dinner and the gas stove worked well. Nicely supplied with all the kitchen tools and dishes you could need. We would rent again but next time in early Spting or Fall when not so hot. I highly recommend if you want something totally different but nice.

Best Stars Ever
The craftsmanship of this house is amazing. Everything fit so well. Decorated like a pro. Away from the hustle and bustle of big city, this "in the mountain" get away was perfect for a GWA (girls’ weekend away). Being city girls, we were able to navigate easily with solar power and rainwater which all added to the ambiance of the property. The owners were so attentive and welcomed every question and call. Very friendly. Looking forward to bringing my family back.

Amazing Secluded Quietness with Views
This property is wonderful if your looking for peace and quiet seclusion with beautiful views of the Big Bend area mountains. It’s out of the way a little but so worth the trip. It seemed like we had the sky and mountain to ourselves. We will definitely stay here again and hopefully again.

Extraordinary Starry Get Away
We stayed 3 nights with our teens, cooked all meals there, and enjoyed the incredible views and star gazing each night. Clean, comfortable beds, and everything you need to get away from it all. Went hiking/touring at Big Bend National Park, Terlingua Ghost Town, and Fort Davis State Park. So glad we brought our telescope and a 4WD SUV. Only wish is that we had given ourselves more time. This home is definitely a labor of love for Ross and his family. We will definitely come back!

Lovely Cabin in the Desert!
The cabin was very clean with lovely decor and excellent views! The stars at night are amazing!! Not to far away from Big Bend National Park. No issues with the cabin being off the grid. Communication was very easy with quick responses. A vehicle with AWD or 4-wheel drive is needed as stated, and totally worth it. You will not regret staying here.

AMAZING PROPERTY AND VIEWS!!!
My husband and I have traveled extensively and this is hands down the most immaculate, majestic property we've had the pleasure of enjoying. It's proximity to Big Bend was perfect and the quiet joy of nature all around us at night was blissful. The view of the expansive terrain during the day and the bright stars at night were amazing. We are anxious to come back again soon!

Truly spectacular
Absolutely amazing. The house itself is obviously a work of love by the owner, with lots of small touches that make it feel super special. Bedrooms and bathrooms in excellent shape. Common area, with kitchen and small seating area, is perfect for quiet nights and mornings. And that’s to say nothing of the property itself, which is unreal. The views, the land, the moon, the stars: beautiful. One note; listen to Ross about the road and your car! My mom SUV (gmc Acadia) made it up the gravel road to the cabin just fine but you will definitely need a high clearance vehicle.

Amazing remote getaway
Such a beautiful home in such a beautiful remote setting. Definitely recommend a 4x4 to get there and long pants to hike up to the mesa. Ross was super responsive and took the time to show us to the property and how to get the most out of our stay.

Unique experience
Boca de la Roca is a beautifully designed, and thoughtfully executed remote cabin. It was exactly as described: modern design, high end finishes, yet off the grid where your SUV (or similar high-clearance vehicle) is required. It's close to Big Bend and had amazing views for miles. Last, Ross, the host, was great. The one unexpected characteristic that made our stay different than expected was that the bedrooms aren't connected to the main area by a hallway. You have to take a few steps outside to go back into the kitchen area. This gave our little one a bit of fear, sleeping alone. Maybe we missed this detail before booking. In the end, it worked for us, and provided a great oasis from hiking in the park. 5 stars, would do again.

If you are looking for an off the grid location near Big Bend, this place is for you! The house is remote, with beautiful views in every direction. We loved the indoor / outdoor feel of the house with the deck connecting all the rooms. It was the perfect place to eat, drink and let the kids run around. Super unique and special place!

The Most Beautiful Skies From a Super Cool House
Ross has done an amazing job with this house. Truly memorable stay. He was an excellent host and even sent me a text to check in half-way through our stay. The views are incredible both day and night. However, the night sky is like nothing I can recall seeing for a very long time. Words nor photos do it justice. It has to be seen in person. Very peaceful and relaxing. The drive to up the mountain is a bit scary the first time up, but we were pros by the end of the trip. You need an SUV or something with good clearance to drive up. If you are looking for something that is super close to shopping or close to really anything, this is not for you. This stay is for peace and quiet with amazing views near nothing. It delivers that 100%. We stayed three nights and wished we could have stayed at least one more night. We went to big bend national for two days and then went into Marfa for a day and stayed for the Marfa lights. It was about an hour and a half from the house to get to Marfa and the park entrance was about forty-five minutes or so. We travel frequently staying in dozens of homes with our 14 and 16 year old boys and they thought it was one of the coolest homes we've stayed in. We would do the trip again just as we planned it. We loved everything about it.

The Premier Big Bend Property
As someone who has stayed at multiple West Texas vacation rentals over the years, I can say with confidence you will not find a better view or property owner that took the time and attention to detail to create such a wonderful space. While there is a neighbor to the East of the property within eyesight, it did not detract from the stay or vibe that most people seek to gain from the area. Beds were comfortable, amenities of the property were excellent… my only suggestion would be more comfortable outdoor furniture since that is what most people are looking to enjoy. The furniture on the patio doesn’t provide much comfort for long periods of outdoor enjoyment so that is my only critique but the property overall maintains a solid 5/5 rating. Will definitely return!

the stars at night, are big and bright
stargazing was superior. the owner/property manager met us at the entrance of the ranch and escorted us to the property as the terlingua ranch is very large. once we arrived, he personally instructed us on the use of all amenities. he is local which is always a plus when u are visiting somewhere new. he had recommendations on trips into the parks, hikes, and local eateries and supplies if needed. there were even some snippet’s about the surrounding geology for the property located in the property welcome book. the structure was as advertised. extremely clean, modern and comfortable: beds were very very comfortable and the showers were huge!! toiletries provided were nice quality as well. bath linens were soft and lush. ac, when needed, worked fine. fans throughout and mother nature provided cool breezy nights. fridge was perfect size for four adults to eat dinners at the cabin each night, and still store picnic items and snacks on top of that. gas cooktop and stove worked well.. absolutely NO BUGS! plenty of parking. extremely peaceful, quiet, and full of views that are as good as or better than those of the parks. conveniently located to both state and national park. as owner suggested, best to buy supplies in alpine or other city on way in as it is pretty high priced in terlingua if you run out or make initial purchases in terlingua. can’t wait to return. hard to believe such a nice property is called a cabin!!! highly recommend this property to anyone visiting the parks who wants privacy and beauty without having to “rough it”. hard to imagine you have wi-fi and tv that works when you can step outside and look up to see the milky way with the beaked eye. can’t say enough good things about this rental.
