Ghost Town Casitas
212 Ivey Rd.
Terlingua, Texas
When you want to escape it all, there’s only one place that fits the bill: Big Bend. Increasingly growing in popularity, but still holding on to its isolation that makes it so endearing (don’t expect much, if any, cell service), a getaway to Big Bend is a rite of passage for all Texans. When it comes to your accommodations, Ghost Town Casitas has it all. Nestled only 10 minutes from Big Bend National Park, Ghost Town Casitas offers a distinctive West Texas getaway in Terlingua Ghost Town. Each casita exudes its unique charm, so find one that fits your vibe. Casa Piedra reflects the landscape’s beauty, while Ghost House blends seamlessly with nature through its three mirrored-glass walls, and Desert Pearl promises a charmingly comfortable retreat. Outdoor showers and firepits decorate the property, while guests still enjoy the modern-day amenities of kitchenettes and air conditioners so you can relax after a long day of hiking and exploring in peace. It’s the perfect place to call home base whether you’re exploring Big Bend for a bachelorette party, a romantic getaway, or some much-needed solo time.

Hotel St. Cecilia
112 Academy Dr.
Austin, Texas
Inspired by the patron saint of music and poetry, Hotel Saint Cecilia is a 20-room secluded estate located in Austin’s historic Travis Heights neighborhood one block from the South Congress district, home to iconic live music venue the Continental Club and other hubs of Austin culinary, entertainment and shopping culture.
Its lush grounds are rich with history. Hotel Saint Cecilia was originally built in 1888 as the Miller-Crockett house and is among the five remaining Victorian homes of twelve originally built along this stretch of the Colorado River. The hotel still takes inspiration from the late 1960s and early 1970s. In 2008, Bunkhouse transformed Saint Cecilia from a historic 1880s Victorian home into the Old-World luxury oasis that it is today. With a blend of vintage and modern design elements inspired by the extraordinary writers, musicians, and artists of the 1960s and 70s, the result is a soulful and serene ambiance distinct to Saint Cecilia.
Both eclectic and elegant in design, Hotel Saint Cecilia’s 20 striking accommodations are scattered throughout the estate—housed in both the Victorian home and in modern additions—all with secluded entranceways. To suit the diverse guest personalities, the design of each room is different. Yet, all of the suites, poolside bungalows, garden suites, and studios feature a cohesive combination of antiques, modern furniture, original artwork, and outdoor lounge spaces. The secluded property and lush grounds are open only to hotel guests and members, thereby offering a unique sense of privacy situated steps away from the heart of South Austin. Hotel Saint Cecilia’s serene grounds feature a 50-foot heated lap pool with a signature “SOUL” neon sign open to guests 24 hours per day, an intimate lounge and bar with fireplace, and an outdoor-seated patio, all of which lie beneath the property’s sweeping live oak tree.
