If you’re ever out driving near Big Bend and come across a rusty old blue school bus, don’t just keep on driving. What appears to be a piece of junk is actually one of the most unique Airbnbs our state has to offer. Take a trip back to the era of peace and love in this groovy hotel on wheels.
Built in 1952, this groovy school bus has called West Texas home for over 20 years. It’s been featured on the National Geographic show “Badlands, Texas,” and travelers from all over the globe have spent the night here.

Considered “upscale primitive” camping, there’s enough solar power for phones and a propane heater. It’s just remote enough to provide unparalleled views of the vast desert night sky while being only 35 miles away from Terlingua and Big Bend National Park.

The bus has one king bed and a futon, sleeping up to four guests altogether. An outdoor shower and port-o-potty are located within walking distance.

Four miles away, the Terlingua Ranch Lodge has a swimming pool, full-service restaurant, additional showers, and laundry facilities. Guests of Senorita Mojave are welcome and encouraged to use the amenities.
Airbnb
Outside, a grill, fire pit, and picnic table provide all the necessary ingredients for a night underneath the Milky Way. At just $50 per night, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a more affordable lodging in option in the sparse surrounding area with as much retro charm.
