For a boutique stay

• La Posada Milagro is a charming owner-managed boutique hotel set in Terlingua; a real salt-of-the-earth sort of place.

A lovely escape to nature.

For couples

• Basecamp Terlingua offers a collection of tipis, casitas and bubbles spread over a large stretch of the Chihuahuan desert. Amenities vary; some feature private bathrooms and pools while others offer a more rustic glamping experience.
