Literally. Surprised to be so far away from town and could've used directions on how to leave the home and get back on main road and to BBNP... i.e., like thorough instructions TO the home. The kitchen was large and accommodating. Need at least one electrical plug on kitchen island. No TV or radio :( Sand piled up on door mat, needs to be blown off to do its job... we were jumping over the mat as it was tracking into the house. Lots of spider webs inside the home. Floors were dirty in bathroom. Extremely low water pressure in shower. Wheel on grill was broken upon arrival but we made it work. This home is WAY out there and extremely quiet. Beautiful mountains surround the home.

We really enjoyed our stay. The house is perfect and well provided for to meet all our needs. Once you get to the house it's a great place, however the road to get there is a bit bumpy and long. We were thankful that we rented a car and didn't take our personal vehicles down that road.

This is our second year at Sunrise Ridge and the stay did not disappoint. From the well-equipped, spotless kitchen to comfortable beds, spacious living room and stunning outdoor spaces both front and back, we had a truly relaxing experience. Daryl, the manager, was very responsive to a couple of issues, no propane and, horrors, no hair dryer, delivering both post haste, even bringing a brand new hair dryer in the box. Thank you, Daryl! Sunrise Ridge was a welcome respite after going to the park which was extremely crowded and noisy. Desert solitude awaited our return and we did not want to leave after a week’s long visit. As Edward Abbey said, “What draws us into the desert is the search for something intimate in the remote.” Sunrise Ridge is all that and more.

Property was great! Would definitely stay here again!

We enjoyed the property and were not disappointed in the seclusion for which we had hoped. The directions to the property were needed, but were clear and spot on. The drive to the property was harder for those of us without 4 wheel drive vehicles but could be done. We were able to locate everything we needed at the home. We expected a long drive to Big Bend but considering our wish for a secluded place we were pleased that the drive was quicker than expected.

I was looking forward to staying at this rental before we even got there. But the actual experience far exceeded our expectations. It is so peaceful and quiet. I could have sat on the front porch and enjoyed the view all day. The stars are incredible at night. We enjoyed the beautiful kitchen for the Thanksgiving holiday. We really appreciated that it was pet friendly. WiFi was fantastic! Definitely recommend a high clearance vehicle to drive to this house. The drive to get to the house may take a while but it makes for a really remote cabin that is so quiet and peaceful. It heals the sole. Will definitely stay here again.

This is our second time to stay at Sunrise Ridge and we enjoyed the solitude and quiet. The house is very comfortable and the windows bring in lots of natural light and beautiful vistas. The front porch provides escape from the sun while still providing a breathtaking view. The back porch is wonderful for outdoor dining. It's definitely worth the drive. We will be back!

Well appointed, clean, comfortable house on a hill out in the desert at the base of a very remote, breathe-taking mountain.

This is an absolute amazing property. The views are stunning! The only thing, make sure you have a vehicle with good ground clearance as the driveway is awful.

Amazing property to relax and kick back. The views around the property were gorgeous. Kitchen was huge and prefect to gather around as we cooked and socialized. Jack and Jill bathroom. Only down side was the last 2-3 mile drive in. Super rough and don’t try to do it in a car. I would definitely stay at this property again.

We loved the remote property. The views of the stars were stunning, we even saw shooting stars and javelinas eating cacti. We had some water issues but called the property manager and it was handled within hours. We played several games provided- Jenga, scrabble and ping pong. One thing to note is if you get sick the nearest hospital is pretty far. We weren't expecting to need to go but in case you do:). The home had everything you could need for morning coffee and had plenty of drinking water!

Spent a few days with the family before everyone is going back to school and college. It was the perfect place to put away the phones and spend time playing board games, talking, and star gazing. The house is spacious, modern, comfortable, and super clean. Yes, the road gets bumpy, but that just adds to the fun and adventure of getting out there in the desert. Make sure to have dinner at the Bad Rabbit Cafe, hike the Santa Elena Canyon trail in Big Bend National Park (bring extra shoes and socks- it’s worth it!), and hit up the general in Terlingua Ghost Town.

Exactly what we wanted; quiet, beautiful views, close to Big Bend. The house was clean and modern. We can't wait to return.

This property was exactly as advertised. It's a perfect location for visiting Big Bend with restaurants, stores and gas within 30-40 minutes of the house. Perfect property for star gazing at night because of it's seclusion from other homes. We had a small problem with the shower but they were quick to address the issue. I highly recommend this property to anyone looking to get away from the business of everyday life.

The property is great. Clean, modern, spacious. All amenities. Only negatives, for me, was distance from Big Bend and condition of the the last 3 miles of road leading to the house.

Easy renting process. Plenty of drinking water was supplied.

We had a girls trip out to Big Bend and loved staying in this home. We enjoyed the home and as probably most have said - especially the front porch. Very spacious home, clean and comfortable. As also others have called out, the last few miles in are not paved road so be prepared. Also, Big Bend (to really explore the park and get to visitor centers) is 1.5 hour drive each way. But its well worth the drive to come back to this home and relax and enjoy. Thank you again!

Once you Finally get to the house...it's great! So peaceful & serene w/ lg covered porch for enjoying the evening sunsets. We loved how the kitchen w/ very large island was completely open to living area. Plenty of room for 2-3 people helping in the kitchen & chatting w/our friends. Kitchen nicely stocked w/ good cookware, serving bowls & silverware. There were 6 of us & although we only had 1 shower between both BR...we had plenty of hot water for all 6 to shower after coming back "stinky" from hiking trails@ BigBend. Would recommend bringing a bag of crushed ice & a couple gal jugs of water for drinking & cooking. Would be nice to have an extra clothes rod/ bar installed in the area across from shower to hang towels on to dry OR put hook on back of BR doors. Also suggest you do not drive a low-clearance vehicle....the last 2 1/2 miles to the house is is very rough w/lots of dips!

Great house and beautiful views . House was very clean and kitchen was supplied with all necessities and more . We loved the screened in porch. Water pressure in kitchen was very low but no issues in the shower. We loved our stay beautiful home .

Location was great. In fact, we spent one day just exploring and hiking up the mountain behind the house, and probably could have done that another day up another mountain. The space was perfect for 4 adults and 2 dogs. One drawback is there's no fence to let the dogs out in so we had to watch them outside but they were good about not wandering off. Read other reviews about house being far from the highway so we were prepared for that and enjoyed the drive, no problem. Incredible front porch with lots of seating, gorgeous view of the stars on cloudless nights. Plenty of bottled water, linnens, dishes. Pans sucked and with very little water pressure to wash them, we ended up buying a pan in town of our own to use. Had plenty of all the other basic spices and cooking needs. Water takes a LONG time to get hot (like 10 min), but when it does, it's HOT and their shower room is oh so enjoyable. Turning on more than one faucet seemed to help reduce the heating up time.. We would all definitely stay here again!

This is a great property. The house is very comfortable and well appointed. It fit our family of four (and dog) very comfortably. The indoor spaces are comfortable and there is a great screened porch with dining for six, as well as a separate large porch. Plenty of dishes, the dishwasher worked great, and coffee and drinking water are provided. Couple of caveats...this house is remote. It's a long drive from the main road. The road on property is well maintained, but I was glad we had a 2WD SUV for the clearance. In exchange, you get a fabulous location and solitude. It's about an hour drive to the entrance of BBNP. Also, the water is rain water, so it's not potable. The water pressure isn't great, but you'll get by. I looked at a lot of properties before picking this one, and I'm so glad we stayed here. Despite the long drive, this place was very comfortable, the property managers were very helpful, and the house was luxurious relative to how rugged the surrounding area is. I also felt like COVID precautions were taken seriously, and this was a great place to social distance. I'd book this place again in a heartbeat.

This property was clean, and modern with an ideal floor plan for a family. We were happy to include our family dog. We hope to return for an extended stay, soon.

We enjoyed our stay at Sunrise Ridge. Directions provided by the property manager were outstanding. For the most part, wifi worked well. No Verizon cell phone reception, but the property has a landline guests can use. Under normal conditions, driving the dirt road to the cabin would be quite easy (4WD for snow or mud). Due to record setting snowfall, we were snowed in for 24 hours and only got out using 4 low.

We stayed at the property for 3 nights and really enjoyed our time there (3 adults and 4 yo). The house is beautiful and very well maintained. The area is remote and very quiet, definitely could spend a week there easily, chilling in the hammock and reading books. There are several good books, games, puzzles in the house. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you may need to use for cooking. The property managers provide you with a very detailed directions you should use to get to the property, follow that and don't follow the GPS. The house is about 30 min drive from the highway, 15 of which is on unpaved but well maintained road. It's about 1 hr drive to the Big Bend National Park entrance and about 1.5 hrs from Alpine.

So quiet and peaceful. Bumpy ride in, but so worth it. It was so clean and had every amenity we could want.

My husband and I have been coming out to the beautiful Big Bend country for twenty-five years now and found this property to be magical. We’ve stayed in the Chisos Basin for years but are now needing a bit more comfort, having our first experience out in Terlingua two years ago when we stayed at Crystal Valley right on Terlingua Ranch Road. Although a lovely property, complete with an outdoor claw foot tub, Sunrise Ridge far surpassed our expectations. Privacy and seclusion are to be had in this well-appointed, spotlessly clean, modern house with a stunning kitchen, large island, plenty of pots to cook with, utensils, basic spices, plastic wrap, paper towels, etc. Just plan ahead and bring the groceries with you. Beds are comfortable and linens are first rate with plenty of fluffy towels. The week we were there was quite frigid so the space heaters provided came in handy. Plenty of hiking to be had on the property and all the signed rocks on the enclosed back porch are a testament to many who have travelled here and thoroughly enjoyed their stay. The drive back was a little dicey with a snowstorm from Terlingua to Fort Stockton, but worth it to see snow in the desert, a memorable addition to our stay. Undoubtedly, we will return.

House was modern and just as advertised. It is situated in a remote area of the foothills northeast of Terlingua. Just a beautiful setting with wonderful views.

Our vacation could not have been better and the property contributed to that more than we anticipated. From the complete remoteness, to the stars at night, to the great kitchen for cooking,, this was our favorite vrbo experience yet.

Sunrise Ridge was just what we needed before starting our school year. Great area to explore and Big Bend for daily hikes. It was the best of both worlds; modern amenties with amazing natural views. The last couple of miles to the home were rocky but we read the reviews and came prepared. ;)

Beautiful property in a quiet, beautiful and remote setting. Perfect for Big Bend adventures or unplugging for rest and relaxation.

Very nice house with all the amenities you could need. The porches are my favorite parts of the house. Great kitchen, too!
