"Super cool location and house! Great hosts. I highly recommend."

"We were very impressed with this property. Everything that we needed (including toilet paper, paper towels, linen, cooking utensils, and so much more) was provided. The views were also amazing! "

"It was very smooth and exactly as advertised. A/C was working really well. Has a nice 1 person shower and bathroom. Has running water, but on catchment system so encouraged appropriate water conservation. Overall Wilma was great, very communicative and helpful. We had no issues. The only minor thing was VRBO sent a message with an access code, but in reality it was the code Wilma sent in direct message that was what we needed to unlock the door. Not her fault, just a touch confusing. Overall highly recommend, and a beautiful property! "

"We went to Terlingua for the dark skies and to see Big Bend during the day. The location was perfect! The accommodations were clean and well stocked. We had everything we needed for a lovely weekend getaway."

"The title says it all, there is absolutely no light pollution at Casa Tranquilla!!! I was there with another member of TAAS (The Albuquerque Astronomical Society) and we imaged with our telescopes and brought home over 20 hours of integration. If you know Bortles Class we were pulling down 21.40's-21.62 on our SQM each night putting it at Bortles 2-3. However it felt much dark and there wasn't any part of the sky that was not viewable! If you stay up late and watch the Milky Way Rise it will take your breath away!In terms of Casa Tranquilla it is quaint, simple, and absolutely lovely just as it is. We had some issues with AC while we were there and the owner took care of everything for us in record time considering town was 36 miles away and they had to make three trips to get all the parts sorted out. Before going look at the daily weather not the average. We packed for colder nights as the daily average was 70-80's for the day in April, nope it was like 95-99 the whole time we where there and it broke 100 at least once during April 21-28.Would we go back? Of course we would! We had a fantastic time and enjoyed every moment of it even though staying up each night to image from 1-6am was pretty tough on the body. Thanks again for everything!!!"
