The cabin had everything I needed and kept me warm during my stay. I typically camp when I’m in Big Bend, but Greasewood was a welcome sanctuary from a night of sleet and wind Pam was extremely communicative and helpful.And the shower was nice and hot!

Pretty much as described in listing. Very cute rustic cabin. Well decorated for area. A bit further out than I realized but very easy to get to Big Bend and Terlingua. Hot water heater was not plugged in and no instructions left for this but owners available if needed.

Wow, that was a great experience. We really enjoyed staying in this unique cabin. We highly recommend this West Texas cabin and the adventure it brings with it. Loved it and hope to get back soon.

We rented this property to be close to Big Bend NP. It wasn’t that close and it wasn’t near other services as well. I should have known better. I think the property was accurately described; I was just too optimistic that it would be more convenient than it was.

We couldn’t have chosen a better place for our Big Bend getaway. The cabin is about 1/2 hour from the Starlight Theatre, Terlingua Ghost Town, and the nearest gas pump, and roughly 45 min from the park entrance, easy drives since you get to enjoy the scenary. If you run low on ice, beer, or snacks, the Little Burro Country Store is practically around the corner. We saw other spots that seemed tight and too close with other rentals, this one feels pleasantly isolated. It’s just off the highway, but traffic is so light, especially after dark..that the night sky turns into a private planetarium. We spent evenings on both the front and back porches, grilling up dinners and shooting cans with the BB rifle. The AC kept the inside chill, the shower got hot fast. We still stuck to quick rinses to save water. Perfect for 2 people. Remote enough for silence and stars, close enough for convenience. Exactly what we were hoping for.

Needs better heating, hot water in sink and power to use a blow dryer… it is a nice place for a short stay.

I thought this was a renovated building but it looks like all new construction to me. Must be good on the insulation cuz it never got cold. Even when it was 33 outside. Small inside heater does just fine. Not hard at all to find. Little burro store is a mile down the rrroad and it could be found on GPS Garmin

The Greasewood Grocery was exactly as described. Based on previous reviews, I brought a small folding table and a coffee pot. The night sky is amazing. It is a drive from Terlingua/Study Butte but the scenery makes the drive nice.

We had a really great time staying at this property. Although there are some quirks, it is fully explained on the listing and in the communications. We used to be RVers so we understand having to adjust to different situations. The only thing I would note is that if you have the room heater on, plus the water heater and then try to use the microwave, you might trip the breaker. The cabin is decorated really nice and the outside porches and firepit are great. It always takes a while to get used to a different bed, especially a bouncy one, but we did! We loved our stay and would do it again.

This was the most amazing little place to stay outside of town. My husband and I were looking for a quiet getaway. Were were able to jump in our car and drive into town but come back to absolute silence and the most amazing night sky I have ever seen in my life. I will have amazing memories of my husband cooking me breakfast cowboy style while the sun rises. Pam is a great host as well! AMAZING if you are into photography!

We visited Big Bend NP and this was the perfect place. The nights were so dark that you can see every star in the sky including the Milky Way with your bare eyes. There is no kitchen but we brought our camping stove, there was a burn ban, and we cooked in the back patio and enjoyed our dinner there while watching hockey games on our iPad. It was very relaxing, peaceful and everything we needed. The hot water did run out fast but it’s not enough for me to not recommend this place.

This rustic cabin was a great place for our two-night stay near Big Bend National Park. The cabin isn't large, but it still has a refrigerator, microwave and other equipment that make it possible to cook a little and manage in a very rural location. The bed was comfortable, and two porches are good for just sitting and relaxing. It is a great place for stargazing too, although a full moon dampened those possibilities for us. It's located about 25 minutes or so from the Maverick entrance to Big Bend National Park. Be aware you will have to bring your own drinking water, and also minimize water usage here. But I'm sure that is true in lodging throughout the area.

We enjoyed our Greasewood Grocery Cabin stay. We arrived just a dusk and Pam preemptively reached out to make sure we would find the place. No need, the instructions worked fine. Apparently there was some extensive updates to the structure. We found it cozy even in below freezing temperatures. It was located about 20 minutes to the park boundary, and that worked for us. Understanding it was a small space, we planned ahead and nrought in only what we needed for two nights. That fit well into the available storage space. It was good to learn about the non-potable water, so we could plan for that as well. We enjoyed the back porch swing the first night, but cold weather kept us inside the second night. We would definitely stay there again and hang out some more on the patio when it’s a bit warmer outside.

It was too rustic for me. For January anyway. No hot water in the bathroom, Needed to get hot water out of the shower. Owners did help me out with a medical issue,. Greasewood Cabin is convenient to BBNP but is really remote.

Nice place to have a base of operations for the Big Bend area. Plenty of porch to sit on and watch the world go by after a day of hiking, adventures in the area. A coffee maker would have been nice, but local restaurants covered that need.

We weren't expecting much, but yet we were still disappointed. Water is non-potable, so bring what you need. There is no hot water at the sink in the WC; only hot water is at the shower, so if you want hot water with which to shave or clean, you have to go to shower and bring it back to the sink - shower and sink are in different rooms. Also, there is a sign to not put ANY paper in toilet. This reminded us of our trips to Russia and other 3rd world locations. Cooking is only by microwave, and there is no place to sit and eat unless you go outside or carry the tablethat is outsid night sky, however, is truly amazing, and fortunately the traffic zooming by is mostly done by 10pm. We survived and made the best of it, but never again.
