Lodging

The casitas offer ultimate privacy.

Far Flung casitas offer privacy, comfort, and convenience. If you are looking for accommodations that provide the comforts of home, and if you are not much for camping or roughing it, Far Flung is the perfect place for you. After a day of exploring and adventure, unwind in one of Far Flung’s casitas (Spanish for “little house”) equipped with free Wi-Fi.

The immaculate and private casitas offer modern amenities and beautiful views of the night sky. On your private porch, you can sit in your rocking chair and gaze at the moon and stars, wonder in awe at the Milky Way, or relax and reflect on your day. The starry nights are a beautiful and peaceful experience.

The nights, undisturbed, quiet, and tranquil, allow for a peaceful and restful sleep. The silence and tranquility of those nights are something I miss most about our visit to Terlingua. You’ll rest well.

Each casita has a kitchenette equipped with a refrigerator, microwave, sink, coffee pot, toaster, and all the dishes, silverware, and glassware you need. The beds are super comfortable, the blankets soft, the pillows plush, and the large bathrooms are filled with big, fluffy towels and include a hair dryer. Housekeeping does a fabulous job and after your day of adventure, you return to a spotless casita.

The grounds are an oasis with a desert garden. During our visit, the trees were in full bloom and the aroma of the fragrant flowers perfumed the air. There is nothing comparable to the still desert night, the fragrant floral air, and a sky smeared with stars. It’s a small piece of Heaven on Earth.

The grounds also have a fire-pit, lit at nightfall, and propane gas grills for use in the courtyard.

Don’t pass up the casitas. Adventure awaits you right out of your doorstep

Far Flung Coffee Shop

On-Site Coffee Shop

Canyon Brew Coffee offers a wide selection of gourmet coffee, tea, juice, giant homemade muffins, bagels, and kolaches. We had the snickerdoodle muffins, which were fantastic, and ordered the sausage kolache with jalapeno and cheese, which was spicy, delicious, and hit the spot before our morning hike on the Lost Mine Trail. They have something tasty and delicious for everyone.

Offering fast and super friendly customer service, fantastic eats, and an array of fabulous drinks, one cannot go wrong stopping at Canyon Brew Coffee. It’s the only coffee shop in the middle of the desert offering an excellent selection of delicious brews.

Retail Store

Far Flung retail store offers a broad selection of T-shirts, books, stickers, water bottles, sunscreen, bracelets, bandanas, coffee mugs, sun hats, and so much more. Make sure to stop in and grab yourself some cool merchandise. The wide selection of awesome T-shirts makes it difficult to pick just one. You’ll have a tough time walking out empty-handed. They offer lots of goodies here.

Tips

  • Book early
  • You are in the desert; water conservation is especially important. Keep showers brief and be conscious of water usage while brushing your teeth.

  • Enjoy your stay!
