Very accommodating for our pet (there is a one time fee). Very quiet out there. About 3 miles on a dirt road though, it's not horrible but I wish it was all paved. Makes for a lot of dust. It is a way out there, about 45 minutes to Study Butte and Terlingua but a nice scenic drive and the roads out there are good. Our King room was clean and spacious with a coffee maker, mini-fridge, and microwave. Bed was comfortable, bathroom was roomy. Nice, large, shared front porch for sitting out and looking at stars and mountains. Unfortunately we were there close to full moon so star gazing wasn't extra special. Staff was very friendly. The restaurant was good. We would definitely stay there again.

Incredible staff, service and the restaurant, pool and small store were great. The room was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed but was nothing fancy. AC worked well and the mini fridge was nice. The surrounding is exactly like they say-well off the main road -but the place was beautiful and safe and we didn’t mind. We planned to eat at the restaurant one night but the food was so good, we ended up eating there twice!! We brought our own mini coffee pot and enjoyed coffee on the balcony every morning…and the starry skies at night. We went with our family who brought their RV and it was a perfect base for our 5-day visit to Big Bend.

My husband loves the quiet and remoteness- deer walk through the grounds. It's a dark sky spot so we watched the stars come out. The room was clean and the fridge has a tiny freezer so we could refreeze our blocks. Bring your own coffee pot though. The last few miles are washboard roads- so be prepared.

Rooms were nice, comfortable, and it was peaceful. Be aware there is no TV. We were the farthest away from the office and the WIFI was intermittent. It was good to get away from the world for a few days. Really enjoyed the accommodations, just wish WIFI was a little stronger

If you love stargazing, you won’t mind the remoteness. No cell, spotty internet and no TV. Facility was clean and adequate. The local cafe was delightful! The office staff were friendly and helpful.

A long way down a very bumpy and dusty road.

Rather disappointed with the 5 miles of rough gravel road to the entrance of the property. The amount of money charged for the accommodation was not in line with the type of beds. Disappointed with no television. Our enjoyment was the clear skies the night we were there. We decided to leave because without staying another night because of the accommodations.

Loved how quiet and dark the area was. Great hospitality also from the crew at the Bad Rabbit Cafe on the property. My cabin was a simple one which was what i was looking for. Only minor improvement I would wish for was an updated window unit-A/C so i could have made the room ice cold to sleep in. 9 out of 10 stars and will definitively be coming back for the peace and quiet at the Terlingua Ranch Lodge !
