It's a 1.5-hour drive to the central mountains of Big Bend National Park, so it's a little far away from the central location. This surprised us a bit because we didn't check it properly while booking. But the place is fantastic. It's a magical place in the desert, surrounded by mountains, creating a mystical atmosphere. The pool is excellent, and we enjoyed resting there after our hikes in Big Bend. It is highly recommended!

Location, Location, Location! Even with the 3 miles of ROCK and dirt road, it was the most soothing place to be for relaxing and marveling in God's creation. Mountains surrounded by the peaceful night sky - 4 nights really were not long enough.

Praying for more water availability for the area. I know the ranch has been making do with available water supply and has done very well but sure miss a long shower after all day in Big Bend National Park!

The property was quaint, with a nice western charm. The Bad Rabbit restaurant located on the property was so good! We loved being right in the mountains. I wish we would have known about the special access road to a private scenic view behind the property that requires a 4x4 awd vehicle. Such a nice benefit that normal lodges don’t offer!

While beautifully remote, it takes 45-55 mins to get to any type of food or gas in “town” if the Bad Rabbit restaurant is closed on Monday or Tuesday. If you’re visiting Big Bend National Park, expect to add another 30 mins to the drive. While nicely maintained, the 3 mile dirt road does add additional time to get to the lodge.

On-site restaurant, breakfast was good, diverse menu, and reasonable price. Only TV was in the Bunkhouse tuned to sports channels. Bunkhouse offered snack type food and beer/sodas. I really liked staying out in the mountains.

I would have liked to plug in my electric hybrid vehicle at night but could not find an electric outlet near parking and could not get the RV outlet to work. Only gas station in town ran out of gas briefly on my last day. The ranch is 17 miles from hwy and it is another 17 miles into town.

16 miles up (from Terlingua) and 13 miles over into the desert, you will find yourself in a quiet valley between two mountains. Expect to see all sorts of wildlife (hang around the pool at dusk for a parade of swallows and bats) and don't be surprised when the javelina herd marches past your cabin in the early evening. The reasonably-priced meals at the on-premises Bad Rabbit cafe are simple but enjoyable, made more enjoyable by an engaged and thoughtful staff. And do you want to see stars? You'll see stars.

The bathrooms in the cabins are getting long in the tooth and could use a touch-up and some attention to the fixtures. The beds are serviceable steel-frame affairs that will scoot across the floor if you happen to lean on them.

The property is beautiful, all walkable, multi level but only in the day. At night you can’t see anything which I understand but also there has to be someway to put appropriate lighting for signs.

The Bad Rabbit Cafe is so bad. Every meal we had (4) was wrong, missing food or condiments and always bad.

The people especially Tammi were very friendly and hospitable. The nature was great. We really enjoyed the calmness, and the starry sky.

The Bad rabbit Café was quiet good for us, because of the food. We did not like it so much. It was Fast Food,- not healthy. The Menu carte was not varied, which did not come up to our expectations.

Bad Rabbit restaurant is very good. That's a really good thing since there is really no other alternative.

It's on me, but I assumed a hotel 'in Terlingua' would be close to the Big Bend National Park, but it is quite remote. It's about 16 miles off the main road, the last three of which were unpaved. Even after getting back to the main road, it's a significant distance to the park. Its remoteness adds to the charm of the place, but I was wondering if I was even going to the right place after driving so long off the main road.

It was a beautiful scenery I wish I could stay longer to try out the cafe and other things they had there

The dirt road half way getting to the lodge was pretty scary at first when you are trying to get to the location I did lose service and wasn’t sure where I was going but it was okay one you get there

This place is pretty cool. Would love to go back when it's warmer to enjoy the pool. We used this as a base camp for visiting Big Bend. The chwck in staff was awesome and the folks working at the restaurant were top notch. All super friendly. The room was better than expected. Great wood interior, comfy beds, amazing sunrise and sunset views.

The distance from the main road is 30+ miles with the last 3 being unpaved. Fortunately we had an SUV but for folks with cars it may be a rough ride.
