Located 7 miles from Big Bend National Park and 12 miles from Big Bend Ranch State Park, Terlingua Escondido is your ideal spot for relaxing and adventuring!

Sage yurt is a short drive or walk to restaurants, bars, and shopping in Terlingua Ghost Town, yet hidden from view. Gaze at stars, the moon, and drifting clouds through the dome skylight, and take in spectacular views of the Chisos Mountains, Chihuahuan Desert, the Milky Way, and dark night skies right outside your yurt.

The space
Sage yurt is outfitted with a king size bed with premium bedding and oversize bath towels; kitchenette with Keurig coffee maker, microwave, toaster, fridge with freezer, blender, glassware, and dinnerware; full bathroom with walk-in, custom-tiled rain shower; and mini-split air conditioning and heating.

For your convenience, we welcome you with a snack basket, Zero water filtration pitcher, a selection of K-cups, tea bags, sugar, creamer, hotel amenities (soaps, lotion, shampoos), hair dryer, dish washing and cleaning supplies, lantern, and basic first aid kit.
