Vacation rentals in The Solitario

We had an amazing stay! This spot is the perfect home base if you’re looking to explore Big Bend National park. We loved being so close to hikes & having a comfy place to relax at night. Close to lots of restaurants which we walked to every night. The space had warm showers, comfy bed, amazing views, and was very quiet. We loved feeling secluded but still having resources of an upscale place. We had storms one night & the power went out, the generator immediately kicked on. We almost wouldn’t even have noticed. The space has a water filter, fridge, and coffee maker, which is perfect for preparing for a day of hiking. We are so happy we chose this location for our stay! We’ll definitely be back.

Ross and his family have created a truly special retreat in the mountains. From the moment we arrived, we were struck by the peaceful silence and breathtaking serenity of the surroundings. At night, the darkness was absolute—perfect for stargazing under pristine dark skies. Exploring the vast property was a highlight, with countless fascinating plants, artifacts, and stunning views. The home was spotless yet personal. Thoughtful touches, like historical photography and the use of local materials, beautifully tied the house to its surroundings. The bathrooms and kitchen were beautiful, with large windows for natural light and cross breezes. The decor felt thoughtful and unique. A few things to note: There are stairs to the main floor. Water is hauled in, so conservation is key. And the last mile of road is a fun adventure—bumpy but manageable. We had no trouble in our RWD 2001 Toyota Sequoia, and the hosts kindly guided us in. We absolutely loved our stay and will be back!

Me and my guest had a great time here. Also this place has a great view of the sky at night.

My husband and I had an amazing relaxing time at Wally’s place. The location is perfect if you want to be away from the noise and be able to watch the stars at night. Will definitely be back. Thank You 😊

The location is stunning and the A Frame is beautiful! We were there during an unprecedented weather occurrence (massive rains - first in several years) and Esteban was amazing at helping us navigate the situation. They were very kind and responsive. I’d recommend at least an AWD vehicle for the region (if you’re getting a rental car), including for Big Bend, but we survived in our little sedan.

The detailed instructions made it easy to find - great launching spot for Big Bend NP or SP, or just exploring around Terlingua; had to bring in drinking water, but had a full kitchen and laundry room, and beds were very comfortable - great selection of books & magazines for the area

Roadhouse Rentals was the perfect place to stay for our trip to Big Bend. It exceeded my expectations in every way. The photos are accurate but the space feels much larger than shown, especially the kitchen. I thought the pullout was going to be awkward but there was plenty of room for me, my husband and our 14 yo son. The kitchen was fully functional, with space to cook and eat (a very clever Murphy table), both beds were comfortable with plenty of linens. The bathroom had space to move around, hot water was hot. AC worked great and one of our days hit 95. The space is cute too, with quality kitchenware and furnishings. The unit has a shared wall but insulation/noise was perfectly acceptable. Even the outdoor situation was outstanding. Each structure has 2 units and each unit has their own table and fireplace separated by a shared gazebo so plenty of outdoor privacy. It was just an easy 15 minute drive down 118 to the entry for Big Bend. I would look forward staying here again!

We enjoyed our stay with Jenny! The fire pit and the chairs were perfect for stargazing at night. Could not have asked for a better stay!

I’ve wanted to have a Yurt experience AND visit Big Bend. This was perfect. The Yurt is aesthetically perfect, private with amazing views. The Local Chapter provided excellent dining recommendations which we followed exclusively and was NOT disappointed. Host was responsive and provided us with a new lighter and batteries for the AC remote the very next day. The location cannot be beat. This place was a splurge for us and so worth it!!!
