About this cabin rental

Big Bend National Park and Big Bend State Park area lodging with a unique West Texas old town experience.
Ten Bits Ranch has some of the most beautiful views in the Big Bend region of Texas.
The rugged off grid Ten Bits Ranch site was chosen for its breathtaking views of the dark sky stars, red craggy rocks and the beautiful sunrise and sunset over the surrounding mountains.
Guests of Ten Bits Ranch may hike and explore over 550 private acres of Ten Bits Ranch land at their leisure. Ten Bits Ranch is your own personal National Park without all the rules and restrictions of hiking the public land.
Guests may have a complimentary self-serve continental breakfast or prepare your own meal 24/7 in the full guest kitchen and dining area in the shared Cantina space.
Ten Bits Ranch is just (20) minutes from the Big Bend National Park entrance and (20) minutes from the historic Terlingua Ghost Town. Ten Bits Ranch is (20) minutes from local activities like the Big Bend rafting companies, Big Bend Stables horseback riding and the local bars & restaurants like the famous La Kiva Restaurant & Bar, Longdraw Pizza, Starlight Theatre, DB’s Rustic Iron BBQ, Chili Pepper Cafe and High Sierra Bar & Grill.
Ten Bits Ranch is (35) minutes from the amazing Big Bend Ranch State Park and the beautiful Lajitas Golf Resort.
Ten Bits Ranch has everything that you need to be comfortable (WiFi, AC, gas & electric heat, satellite television). The entire property is off grid and powered by the one of the largest (57.6 kW) privately owned solar power systems in Texas.
Experience REAL West Texas off grid living in the Big Bend region with your own off grid oasis and 550-acre private park.
Hike and explore right outside your room without the rules and limitations of the public parks. Hike with your pet, bring your ATV or motorcycle, build a fire, visit our shooting range, hike to the Apache Indian Cave or just have a drink, smoke a cigar or read a book on the porch or by the firepit and look at the beautiful mountains on the hotel property. Let the hundreds of acres and nearly complete freedom create a unique Big Bend experience.
Ten Bits Ranch has some of the best views of the famous Big Bend stars. Since Ten Bits Ranch is completely off grid and located on 550 private acres, there are no neighbors and no ground lights to obscure the perfectly dark night sky.
The amazing solitude is extremely quiet and peaceful day or night. If you come to Ten Bits Ranch when the moon cycle is dark, after 20 minutes (for your eyes to adjust), the stars will appear to surround you like a blanket. Be sure to watch for shooting stars. There is a shooting star in view at Ten Bits Ranch almost every week. Ten Bits Ranch offers a truly private, unique, off grid, dark sky star gazing experience that few people have the opportunity to see in person. The craggy Chimney Rock Mountain blocks out a beautiful black jagged silhouette in the blanket of stars.
Well-behaved pets (and well-behaved people) are welcome at Ten Bits Ranch. Hike and explore at your leisure with both your 2 and 4 legged friends.
Thank you for considering Ten Bits Ranch for your Big Bend Adventure. Wherever you choose to stay, the Big Bend area is a wild, unique and a truly beautiful place that is well worth the trip.

The best way to experience Big Bend! The property was gorgeous with panoramic views that were absolutely stunning. Bed was comfortable, room was clean, view was great, and the cantina was awesome! The road is a bit long and not paved so don’t recommend a small car if you can!

Perfect get away no complaints. Theme was perfect feeling like your back in time. Cantina was very accommodating and we loved the Apache cave overlooking property. We will be coming back to chimney rock and the tin bits ranch.

The property offered a place to rest and recuperate from a long day of hiking. A shower and a place to lay our heads for a good night's sleep. Our room was comfortable and once we figured things out, we had a good stay. This was an interesting layout with a few nuances for "living off the grid"! Overall, enjoyable!

Wonderful location and authentic period looking property. The weather turned cold and cloudy and so we were unable to enjoy the night sky. Extra blankets would have been great. Kitchen was well stocked. A longer stay to enjoy the quiet and night sky is required.

Location, theme, layout of property were great. Loved the quiet. Cantina was clean & inviting- until you opened the refrigerators & freezers. Our unit, The Schoolhouse, was dirty as evidenced by: used wash cloth left hanging on shower rod, thick layer of dust & cobwebs on ceiling fan (wouldn'tbe caught dead under it if it got turned on), baseboards, corners & walls of bathroom &mainroom; 2 out of 4 blinds were badly broken & previous guest(s) left toilet paper hanging between slats to provide some added privacy (we left in place too); shower basin heavy mold & mildew; drain cover in sink had black tarlike ring which I was able remove somewhat with my cosmetic towelettes (cleanser & brush could've gotten job done I think); couldnt use microwave in rm because it would trip after 30 seconds of use (we even tried to have lights off and nothing else plugged in). Webbing on one chair badly torn. A person with any heft is going to end up on floor. Refrigrators & freezers in Cantina were also filthy. Loose tater tots & other unknown food spills in freezer and refrigerators had food spills, crumbs and lots of old partially used food & condiment containers. For the price expected a little more elbow grease, time & attention to clean room & facilities.

Spider webs and thick dust on ceiling fan while lying in bed was uncomfortable. Never could get online, called office and told it would be checked yet I never was able to connect. Power failure when running microwave. Your concept and facilities are nice, good location. Porch light would have been nice.
