Mesa Vista is a small secluded cabin located in Big Bend Valley outside Terlingua, Texas.<\/p>\n
Named for the stunning view of 9 Point Mesa, it is surrounded by mountains and mesas; Red Bluff, Black Hill, The Christmas Mountains, Agua Fria, Santiago Peak and in the distance, the Chisos Mountains.<\/p>\n
Inside the cabin, there is a queen-sized bed with memory foam mattress, with pillows, sheets, and blankets, and two chairs with a small table. \u00a0There are two lofts. One has another queen-sized mattress with no sheets, etc., perfect for a sleeping bag. \u00a0The other loft is for storage.<\/p>\n
On the porch, facing the mountains, are two comfy chairs. \u00a0There is also a small solar light installed on the porch which\u00a0has 3 levels of brightness- or you can turn it completely off.<\/p>\n
There is an outdoor composting toilet and shower.<\/p>\n
We provide a 2-burner camp stove for cooking and some bottled water. We recommend you bring water and keep it with you wherever you go out here.<\/p>\n
Unplug. You’ll be off the grid. \u00a0 There is no cell service, but don’t worry- Betsy and I live next door on the adjoining property and we’ve got a land-line phone and internet and a satellite phone in case of emergency.<\/p>\n
UPDATE- as of 3\/26\/17 we have wireless internet at MesaVista. \u00a0You don’t have to use it, but it’s there if you want it.<\/p>\n
There’s a small store just down the road that has food, supplies, beer and wine, and internet.<\/p>\n
Mesa Vista is owned by Betsy Blaydes and Pat O’Bryan.<\/p>\n
We moved out here about four years ago from Wimberley, Texas after Betsy retired and the kids had all left home.<\/p>\n
Betsy’s a happy mom and grandma who retired from a career as a speech pathologist working in public schools in Central Texas.<\/p>\n
She enjoys British comedies and drama and books by authors like Pema Chodron.<\/p>\n
I’m\u00a0a recovering musician and best-selling author. After over four decades as a a touring and recording performer, I now play gigs locally occasionally. I have a recording studio here at our cabin, and produce music for videos, TV and film, I also produce CDs for local artists and music videos.<\/p>\n
My son, daughter and grand-daughter all live in Chicago, which I think is very odd. We chat on Facebook a lot.<\/p>\n
Betsy and I are both officers in the Big Bend Citizens Alliance, a local 501.c.3 non-profit that supports\u00a0charitable projects in the Big Bend.
