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 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.

Our backyard view of the mountains was amazing. Cute concept and very clean. They also had many amenities like paper towels, soap, shampoo, and waters which was very helpful.

Sat on the back porch and enjoyed the mornings and evenings. Wow. The inside space was equally comfortable and lovely! My husband and I have been discussing spending a week here next time. Joint eating and cooking space worked out much easier and more convenient than I was anticipating. Would do again. Hiking around the premises has really nice features and views to enjoy.

For anyone looking to decompress and enjoy quiet solitude of desert landscapes and a sky full of stars -- 10 Bits Ranch is your answer. We enjoyed ever minute of our stay. The cabins were cozy (the gas fireplaces kept the room perfectly warm...never had to use the heater). Sitting on our private back porch at night with a fire was wonderful. Getting to Big Bend was an easy half-hour drive. And took our e-bikes out for rides every day from the cabin out into the desert. Already planning our return trip!

Really cool place to stay - close enough to Big Bend but really no rush getting there because it was nice to spend time on the property. Temps got around 110 but the rooms stayed plenty cool. Nice hike on the property and awesome to be able to cook dinners over the fire. Definitely looking to book another trip back!

My partner and I stayed here one night. It was a last-minute find after a rare snow event delayed our backpacking plans. It's a cute concept with all of the buildings creating an "old west town" that is tucked away in the Chihuahuan Desert. Harness Shop had a cozy interior, comfy bed, and a beautiful view from the back porch. We did encounter some sort of plumbing issue. We noticed a faint sewage smell, and then realized the shower drain was backing up (which meant I couldn't shower). I emailed the property managers to let them know, and someone showed up to take a look at it the next day. We were on our way out, but I think this still shows how responsive they are to issues. One last thing: The Vrbo check-in and check-out times were different from the email I received from Ten Bits Ranch. When I made my reservation through Vrbo, the listing stated that check-in was after 2 and check-out was before 12. The ACTUAL check-in time is after 4 with the check-out being 11. Not a big deal, but hopefully the listing is accurate now.
