The Space:
When visiting the Big Bend, it helps to have a quiet, comfortable, and convenient home base. Pat O’s Place is exactly that. Pat built his Terlingua home as a place to relax and enjoy. He would be proud to now share his place with you.

Pat O’s Place is a quiet adobe home, lovingly decorated and well furnished, just outside of the world famous Terlingua Ghost Town. It is just remote enough to be quiet and peaceful, but close enough to walk to the Ghost Town. The seclusion of the secure adobe home and the tranquility of the spacious porch with views of the Chisos Mountains provide the quiet needed to forget about the pressures and stresses of daily life. The usual noise and distractions are silenced by the surrounding desert. This is a place to reconnect with what really matters.

Relax in comfort inside or out. Inside, the spacious open floor plan is designed for time together. With a full kitchen, dining area, comfortable living space, large private bathroom, and a spacious bedroom with partial wall, the home will sleep four. The bedroom has a queen-size bed. The living room has a large leather sofa that fold out to a queen-size bed. Outside, the large covered patio has space for outdoor dining or relaxing in the ample shade while enjoying mountain views and cooling breezes. The fire ring is the perfect spot for campfire, ghost stories, and making s’mores.

Enjoy the convenience of being close to the Ghost Town, Big Bend National Park, the Rio Grande River, and Big Bend Ranch State Park. From the house to the heart of the Ghost Town, it is just over a half mile walk, ride, or drive. Driving to other area attractions is convenient with the house just over a half mile to FM 170. One mile to Desert Sports, two miles to Rio Aviation, four miles to La Kiva Bar & Grill, five miles to Far Flung and Big Bend River Tours, five and a half miles to Hwy 118, six miles to Big Bend Stables, and just eight miles to the western entrance to Big Bend National Park.

Thanks for letting us tell you about Pat O’s Place. Now, come and experience it for yourself. After you do, we suspect that you will want to tell your friends. That is exactly how Pat would have wanted it. This was his special place. It can now be your place to enjoy and remember.

Good location to stay when visiting the Big Bend

What a great place! Tucked into the Terlingua Ghost Town, this place was a short walk or drive to anything around Terlingua. We used it a base camp for Big Bend and the drives into the park were manageable. Overall, wonderful place and will return.

We really enjoyed our stay at Pat O’s! It’s set back with a great view. The cabin was clean and all essential amenities were provided. The road is a little rough (like most roads in Terlingua), but most passenger vehicles will be fine. Our only wish was that Terlingua rentals were a little more affordable.

We enjoyed our stay over the Holiday week - very close to town and Big Bend - house was comfortable - had to buy a few things to make "thanksgiving dinner" as far as kitchen items go - but they had everything you would normally need - would stay here again!

We came for the hiking and stayed for Pat O’s front porch with exceptional views! Superior location for Big Bend NP and the region. Bed is comfortable- great sleeping. Kitchen had everything we needed. Bath and kitchen are remodeled. Lovely fire pit though we didn’t use because of windy conditions during our stay (for ban in effect).

My son and I were looking for a convenient location to Big Bend. This property is between Big Bend National Park and Big Bend Ranck State Park. convenient location for both. Also convenient to Star Light Theater in Ghost Town. This property added to our vacation enjoyment. Would definitely stay here again.

The house was great, as advertised, and clean. Sunsets were amazing with incredible view of mountains. Manager was very responsive to questions. Property is short drive to park entrance. Perfect for our family of 4.

We had a great time at Pat O's Place. It was very clean and well appointed. Loved the large porch with the rocking chairs. The star gazing was great at night and the morning view of the mountains was a wonderful way to start the day. The location was near everything we wanted to see but was still quiet and dark enough to enjoy the night sky. The road to the location is a bit rough, so a high clearance vehicle is a great tip. We would stay here again for sure.

We booked this wonderful home to check out Big Bend National Park, and really enjoyed this hidden gem in this small and remote ghost town of Terlingua. The house was clean and welcoming. The bed linens and towels were clean and really nice. The surrounding area was absolutely gorgeous. If you want to see the night sky, this is the place to see it, absolutely amazing. The people that ran it were responsive and wanted to make sure we were happy with everything. I would go back with my family in a heartbeat.

This was a perfect home/cabin for the two of us. It was very clean, well furnished, etc. We loved the star gazing! We weren't there much during the day - gone hiking in Big Bend - Pat O's was a great location for this! Our only negative thing to say doesn't pertain directly to Pat O's but to the road leading to it. We arrived after dark and the road up to the driveway was challenging (we had received excellent directions via email). I would recommend a vehicle with high clearance - (if you are going to Big Bend NP to hike there were several hikes that also required high clearance vehicles to get to the trailhead parking via challenging rock roads.) We loved Pat O's and made a friend of a Road Runner bird who was hanging around two mornings in a row.

Went for the chili cook off. Enjoyed BBNP. Cemetery for day of the dead is a must experience. Locution was perfect, close to everything. Unpaved road to the property is rough. Glad we had our Bronco. The property is exactly as described. Quiet and peaceful but close to lots of activities.

We have stayed at Pat O's everytime we visit Big Bend. It is a great place to stay - comfortable, quiet, beautiful. The hosts are so easy to work with. Love to star gaze, watch the sunrise and sit on the porch relaxing after a day of hiking!

Pat O's is wonderful--super clean, well stocked with everything needed, and very comfortable. Everything about it is top-notch! We enjoyed the information provided about the cabin's history, and our river guide for the Santa Elena Canyon float trip said he had been trained by Pat! This will be always be our first choice for lodging in the Big Bend area.
