d $130-140, ste $160, houses $185, Perry Mansion $245)
Located spittin' distance from the famous Starlight Theater and Terlingua Porch are three
wonderful rooms done up in ranch-style decor with a Spanish influence. They're fairly
fancy, for a ghost town, but without putting on airs.
Under the same management company are a suite, a house or the two surprisingly nice
bedrooms in the ruins of the Old Perry Mansion. Let 'em know what you want and they'll
make you feel right at home.

Built on top of and
even incorporating some of the adobe ruins in the historic ghost town, this guesthouse
pulls off the amazing feat of providing stylish rooms that blend in perfectly with the sur-
roundings. The decor is west-Texas chic, and there's a nice patio for enjoying the cool
evenings. Budget travelers can book a simpler room with four bunk beds for $145 a night.
