About this property

Sierra Dome Escape

Experience timeless beauty in our Geodesic Dome on a private 5 acres in Terlingua Ranch. Resting in a dramatic valley between iconic 9 Point Mesa and Christmas Mountains. Located just North of the western entrance to Big Bend National Park and Study Butte/Terlingua. Discover vibrant Native American art, history, old West lore, and even a World Class Golf Course on the Rio Grande. The Chihuahuan Desert is ripe with outdoor adventure, breathtaking views, locally inspired Southwest cuisine and live music, all on the edge of Texas and Mexico. Cool off with your private access to the Mountain view pool. Warm up next to a toasty fire. Gaze upon the Milky Way night sky and fulfill
your dreams for a relaxing Desert escape.

Enjoy the Desert in total privacy on our 5 acre Desert Escape property.
Sierra, our beautiful 20ft Dome, comes furnished with the following amenities to make for a cosy desert escape:
A comfortable Queen size Bed with pillows, soft linens, duvet cover, and extra plush blankets for those colder winter nights
A large Bay Window opening onto the South side of the property, with stunning desert views you can enjoy from every angle, floating in the comfort of two air chairs!
A kitchen area with a sink, drinking water dispenser, dish ware and silver ware, coffee maker, and even a popcorn machine. For a truly fun evening, we suggest grilling on the fire pit under the stars.
To make your stay more pleasant during warm and hot weather, Sierra has a solar fan integrated to its structure as well as two additional portable fans.
Please note Sierra Dome is entirely powered by the sun, and our system can only support what is already on site, plus your phone chargers and other low energy consuming devices. There is no AC in the dome!
Outside the dome, step onto an elevated wooden deck and enjoy some time in the shade on our deck chairs and couch, or make a fire and grill some marshmallows! Just bring your own firewood and make sure to respect any burn ban restrictions!

Please note Sierra Dome is entirely powered by the sun, and our system can only support what is already on site, plus your phone chargers and other low energy consuming devices. There is no AC in the dome! Keep in mind that on a stormy day, there will be less power available. In case of really bad weather, there could be no power at all and therefore all amenities requiring electricity won’t work.
Outside the dome, step onto an elevated wooden deck and enjoy some time in the shade on our deck chairs and couch, or make a fire and grill some marshmallows! Just bring your own firewood and make sure to respect any burn ban restrictions!

Note: The pool, bath house, and cafe are located at Terlingua Ranch Lodge. The drive is exactly 15 miles (or 26 minutes) away from the dome on an asphalt paved road. We recommend taking 4-wheel drive vehicles, considering the last 3 miles to the lodge are gravel only. There is a small fee to use the bath house, payable directly on site either at the showers or at the front desk.

Misrepresented
The pictures of the property aren’t what we showed up to. Didn’t end up staying once we figured out that the “clubhouse” was 15 miles/26 minutes from the property, none of which is stated. We tried to reach a deal with the host and she wasn’t helpful at all! I asked for some sort of compensation/ reimbursement since we didn’t stay there. We checked into a new place that was better represented.

Met Expectations
We enjoyed our stay at the property. Prior to our trip I looked at several descriptions of the property (i.e.; other rental sites) and there were some descriptions and pics that were dated which could be confusing to some. It may be best to update those sites as well if needed. After comparison, the VRBO listing seemed to be accurate and we ultimately had a good time, thanks.

My name is Lauren Espinosa. Hosting a Luxury Glamping Geodesic Dome placed in Terlingua Ranch, hugged up against the North West edge of Big Bend National Park. I immediately fell in love with Terlingua and the Big Bend, and I'm excited to share a unique and comfortable experience to those ready to make the memories of a lifetime!
