Have you ever stayed the night in 100-year-old mining ruins? This Airbnb in Terlingua, Texas, gives you the chance to enjoy stunning desert scenery from the unusual comforts of a renovated mining town shanty, part of a ghost town in the shadows of the Chisos Mountains. Located near Big Bend National Park, this well-reviewed Texas Airbnb also features a daybed space to enjoy the landscape from a shady patio.
The cabin accommodates two guests and features a fully-equipped kitchen, loft, indoor bathroom, and plenty of outdoor space to soak in the scenery.
The highlight of the outdoor space is the porch with a sitting area and daybed, essentially your living room for your stay. If you wish, you can sleep outside as you watch the sunset.
Of course, you may prefer to sleep indoors. The bedroom features a simple but comfortable double bed.
Directly above the bed is a sitting loft, complete with a window to enjoy the expansive desert scenery around you. The Airbnb, though rustic, does feature central air conditioning, so you may find yourself in this spot during hot summer afternoons.
The bathroom is located separate from the main building, but it's only a couple of steps away from the bedroom.
The patio includes another sitting area to enjoy the unobstructed views of the mountains and desert.
These mountains are your view to the south.
