My husband and I are absolutely in awe over our experience at Willow House! The property itself, view their Instagram (@willowhouse_) if you haven't already, is so unique and private you will feel like you traveled outside the US!

We stayed in Casita #5, an individual Casita not attached to another with a perfect view of Big Bend National Park. Each Casita is designed to give you the privacy you want from your front porch, but it's great to meet the other visitors to pass by. The overall property has individual Casitas and then one large gathering place where you can cook, play games, and meet other visitors. The kitchen is fully stocked with every pot, pan, and seasoning so do not worry about packing these additional items. Also, we bought groceries before leaving for our trip not knowing what we would have access to once we got into Terlingua, but the local Cottonwood General was completely stocked with all food items we would have needed - some items most big grocery stores don't even offer, including GF. So, you will be ok if you need to hold off on shopping or forget a key ingredient to your meal!

Although our trip was during COVID-19, Willow House went above and beyond to make everyone visiting comfortable and safe. Before arriving, we received a schedule detailing when the main house would be closed for extra cleaning and sanitation. In addition, masks were required inside the main house. We felt completely comfortable going in to make our meals and most of our time was spent outside anyways experiencing the breathtaking views from our Casita or the hanging outdoor bed!

Lastly, the property manger on site for our visit was friendly and so helpful! Claire was so kind enough to welcome everyone who was staying and provide helpful insights into what trails and activities we should do on our visit. She really made our experience even more enjoyable! Overall, we could not recommend Willow House enough! It was the perfect blend of tranquility and adventure being so close to a National Park. We hope we find time to visit again in the future - the views, the people, are absolutely worth it!
