Way out on a dirt road
I knew it was out of town but the dirt road was not made clear at the time of booking.

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.

The night sky was incredible! Stars forever!! The only negatives were lack of room cleaning during the stay and the rough dirt road drive. Long way back in there in the dark! The cabin was very clean and the beds comfortable! Breakfast in the Bad Rabbit was good and hearty!

The cafe was a daily hit an miss depending on a working chef availablity. The pool was not opened on the evening we dressed in swim.suits an drove down to swim.an star gaze @ 8:15pm...Pitch dark..combination did not accept our room key #.. Very disappointed as this was one reason we choose this lodge. We paid more than what we were promised per advertisememt of lodge. The gravel road for 2 miles after asphalt road ended waa a bumpy & dusty as well as not good on yoir vehicle .

Distance disappointment
You might want to mention that it is 36 miles from Terlingua. I thought the cabins were in the area not as remote as it was. Too long driving back and forth and not to mention the remote road you have to drive on.
