I just can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed our stay at Willow Mountain Ridge Retreat. The place was beautifully appointed and the views were spectacular. The property is only about a 3 minute drive from the highway and about a 7 minute drive into Terlingua. There are two levels each with a separate entrance. The staircase between the levels is exterior but covered. The upper level is the kitchen and living area with plenty of space to spread out. A covered deck gives fantastic views of BBNP. We often had breakfast and dinner on the deck and soaked in the views. Downstairs are the bedrooms and a TV area. The downstairs porch and fire pit were perfect for star gazing and s’mores. Guests might want to bring along a puzzle, game, or deck of cards for lazy cloudy evenings. Otherwise, you’re probably going to want to be outside. The last part of the drive to the property was quite steep. They recommend a 4 wheel drive or all wheel drive vehicle. Sadly, we had neither. We were in a 2 wheel drive rental car and the assent was unnerving, even for a driver with experience on gravel roads. But, the oasis that is Willow Mountain Ridge Retreat awaiting you at the top made it worth it! We would definitely return.
