Off the beaten path! Great ranch lodge type experience! The people were friendly and the food at The Bad Rabbit Cafe was excellent! I wasn’t expecting it to be as far from Terlingua as it was but that also is what added to the character of the place! This area of Texas was on our “Bucket List” and Terlingua Ranch Lodge gave us authenticity to our experience. Thank you!

Nice, clean cabin with comfortable bedding. If you’re looking for remote—this is it! Beautiful night skies! The only negative was the rough road to the lodge. I read several other reviews that said the same thing and I thought we’d be fine since we were in a 4 wheel drive vehicle but we weren’t. My stomach hurt from bouncing so much (we were going way below the speed limit) and it takes forever to get back to the main road. If they can get the county to pave the rest of the road—I’d have nothing negative to say!

This place is wonderful really cool place to stay. The bad rabbit has an awesome vibe and lots of cool people to talk too. However, its really far from the park, easily 1.5 hour drive one way every day. The back entrance through marathon road really doesnt save much time. If you are going to drive this far anyways to see the park, might be better to stay in Alpine or something with more to do.

Mixed Stay

It is pretty far from the park. It takes an hour to get from the ranch to the major trailheads. Plus side, the restaurant is excellent! Small menu but very well done amd great staff! Minus, wifi at the resort (the restaurants has it's own and it works well) was abysmal and the walls in the cabin are paper thin. I could hear every conversation next door word for word and thwy were just talking at a normal volume.

In the middle of nowhere, close to nothing.

If you're staying here thinking you're staying in Terlingua proper, you're not. It's an hour drive to the "center" of Terlingua. And actually when we put the Lodge's address into GPS it gave us an Alpine address. So the name is misleading. If you're using this as a base camp for visiting Big Bend, it's about an hour and half to Panther Junction. Add an additional 20 minutes to the drive times given by Google Maps, the last three miles are probably the worst gravel road I've ever encountered (big rocks, washboard and washouts). So if you have a nice car or would rather not have to pay for a new front-end alignment, I'd avoid this place. We had a two night reservation here, but didn't return for the second night solely because of the road. Other than that, the place is pretty plain-jane. And noisy, our cabin was a four-plex and the neighbors were up early to get to Big Bend. Not really worth what they were charging.

I’ve read many complaints about the drive into the ranch. No bad considering where u are at. Just take it slow. No tv in the room. Which is great. If ur out here u are just using the room to bath and sleep. Mattress was great. Has ac and heat. Bring ur own coffee pot. There is no sink except what’s in the bathroom. The cafe was awesome. Ate there several times and the food and service was great. If u come in off of 385. Make sure it has not rained in awhile. The road is dirt from 385 to Terlingua ranch road. I think about 16-20 miles. Hour drive. But u may see some wildlife while cruising that road. We saw several bobcats and mule deer and a javelina, while on that road in the day.

For the price of 150 dollars/per night I was shocked to have AC/heating, that was very old, super loud and smelly. We had to turn it off for the night so we could sleep - and were lucky it was not so cold, there were only thin blankets and the walls are thin and provide no isolation at all. This was the main issue and I cannot imagine being there when it is too hot or too cold (which is in this dessert like enviroment almost always except some days during fall and spring which we were lucky enough to choose. The drive to Big Bend main hike trails is also quite long, so next time I would consider something else.

Nice, Remote Cabins

These are great little cabins, with no TV's or cell service, but WiFi is available. The staff was great. The beds are a little hard. We stayed in 2 different cabins because we had to move during our stay due to a water leak. The bed in the newer unit was more comfortable than the bed in the older unit, but still a little too hard for me. The area is beautiful, but very remote. It takes an extra 45 minutes to get into Terlingua for restaurants and gas stations, so once we finished for day at the parks, we made sure to get dinner before heading to the lodge, as we did not want to make the drive back into town again. Other than that, it was a great place to stay.
