The drive onto property at 5pm, not recommended! Certainly not the fault of Terlingua Ranch, head out the window along the horrific 3.5 mile bumpy, shake riad in an economy vehicle not for the faint of heart. Once checked in by the awesome staff, so welcoming, such a pleasure. The room was great. The beds, and the pillows!!!! Omg🤗 where do we buy these!!! Everything so worth the ride out of town, stargazing unmatched! Thank you so very much, for sharing your hospitality and serene experience, we’re thankful. Our highest recommendation.

Super friendly and helpful people. Basic accommodations but clean and safe feeling. It’s a long drive but given other options we saw, we would stay here again if lodging in the national park wasn’t available.

The scenery was pretty but the unpaved 3 mile road off the paved road was really rough. The bathrooms really need updated. The tubs paint was wearing off and the shower curtain was disgusting. The Bad Rabbit Cafe saves this place!

Terlingua Ranch was definitely remote and it made for the most beautiful stargazing experience I’ve ever had! The room and amenities were exactly as pictured and the cleanliness was better than I imagined! The only drawback was that the evening I was there, there was a light that kept flashing frequently from the canyon behind the cabins - could not figure out what that was or why. The service at both the office/store and the restaurant were subpar, but I’d overlook that and consider staying there again. Would recommend!

The lodge location and facilities are great. It is surrounded by mountain and very much nature oriented. Friendly staff and guests. Only downside for folks to note is that the drive from the main road is a bit far and the last 3 miles is dirt road.

Great place for some quiet contemplation. Remote location. It will take you about an hour to reach entrance to Big Bend. We enjoyed sitting out and enjoying the night sky.

Far out!
Amazing location - both very long to get to - and wonderful to be so ‘far out ‘ at the same time. I’m not sure we would have done it if we know how long it would take to get to this ranch, and at the same time we were glad to discover it. Absolutely loved the dark sky experience - seeing the stars like when we were kids! The staff was wonderful! A unique experience! Would suggest staying at least two nights - we only stayed one. But we both thought it would be worthwhile to stay longer. We got more of a sense (how ever small) of the people who chose to live in this area. A diverse and unique collection of individuals.

Rustic but very nice.
First trip to Big Bend National Park, lodging within the park wasn't available so we found this lodge online. It is about 16 miles off the main road and last few miles are on a rocky bumpy gravel/dirt road. Room and beds were comfortable and clean. Loved the porch area with chairs, a small table to set drinks on would have been nice. The view of the night sky and stars was amazing. Onsite cafe was good with inside and outside seating. Pool area looked well maintained and clean.

Nice & Quiet
If you're after seclusion, peace & quiet and a fabulous view THIS is the place you want! Be prepared for a long drive to ANYWHERE, tho. The desk lady was really nice. We weren't impressed with the the Bad Rabbit Cafe, however. Limited menu, not really much flavor and had to order our drinks twice.
