Well, first off it takes 30 min to get there from the main road. The last 5 min is a caliche Road! Very dark and secluded. Kinda of scary for this city girl. Only had a small frig was expecting a microwave & coffee maker too. The internet service was spotty. The shower was very small meant for an RV. No soap to was your hands. It’s like a duplex and the wall is so thin you can hear the conversation next door . Will not be coming back.

We'd go back any day!

This is a great base for Big Bend roaming. We were ok on the unpaved road in our van but those not used to it may want a suv/crossover/truck. This is glamping- not 5 star hotel- everything in the room is outfitted as such. It was the perfect mix of comforts and still getting that outdoorsy feel. We saw deer, ringtail cats, javalina, lots of quail & roadrunners. The views are lovely & the food was good.

The property is about 25 miles away from the main area of Terlingua. The ranch is located at the end of a road that turns into a dirt road. We had two nights booked and only stayed one. We stayed our second night in the Ghost Town area and it was very nice Hotel and close to the main area of town with restaurants and evening activities. The night we stayed at the Ranch there was a rain storm and the road to the Ranch was washed out. We helped rebuild an area of the road so we and others could get out to the main street. Thankfully We had a 4 wheel drive vehicle.

Remote location, no cell service terrible service

There was no disclosure on the site about how far off the beaten path the hotel is located. 30 miles from Study Butte/Terlingua down a partially paved/poor dirt road and over an hour from Big Bend. No cell service, terrible internet and one captive restaurant of dubious quality. No TV in the room. Room was spartan to say the least with very hard mattresses. It was clean - about the only plus. No coffee for guests or ice, have to pay for everything. Tried to check out early (after one night of 3 night stay) and they refused to refund the balance despite agreeing with all of our points of dissatisfaction. The desk even acknowledged they have a lot of disappointed guests due to the remote location. Apparently the ranch is a time-share as well, which explains a lot. Our car and backs may never recover from getting in and out. Do NOT stay here.

Considering that there are very few accommodations around Big Bend National Park, this remote lodge is not the worst choice for those who drive into the park from the west. The cabins, each designed for four families, are quite cozy. The restaurant is open from morning until 9 p.m. However, there are a few drawbacks: 1. The last three miles of the road are unpaved, and the car gets covered with an inch of dust. Inside the property, there is no asphalt, and there is sand and dust all around. 2. In the evening, there are no streetlights, making it difficult to move around. 3. It's in the middle of nowhere and quite far from Terlingua

Hours of staff not great. We never saw any the whole time of our stay. They came after we left in the morning, and they were gone before we got back at night. It's located a long way off of the main highway and the last 3 mi of road are not good. The Numbers of the buildings. need to be lit up for people who come in after dark And the floor where we stayed was sticky. Apparently not rinsed well after cleaning.

The lodge is very secluded in the middle of no where. 16 miles from main road to the property. WiFi is spotty. It’s the wild Wild West. Was shocked to see the property and the stretch of dirt gravel road to the property.
