We highly recommend staying at this property! We fell in love with the serenity the retreat offers and would gladly return. The drive to Big Bend is around 40 minutes making this location a good spot for travelers to the park. The retreat is fully equipped and we recommend a stop to Alpine for supplies before arriving. Much of what is offered by the owners prior to arrival helps in the planning process. The retreat is off-grid so be prepared to consider conserving resources. The stairs are steep for those who might want to sleep in the main level as a twin bed is provided. The evenings are cool and opening windows gives you a refreshing cross breeze. The absolute best selling point are the views! Cannot be stated strongly enough, absolutely stunning and beautiful! The position of the 2 porches is perfect for viewing and photos. We also suggest arriving before dark on the first night to aide in location. Thank you to our host for sharing a beautiful memory! Pete and Kim

This is the perfect spot if you want to enjoy the area and still have your own space. The house and property were great! The owners have a great thing and I'm glad to have experienced it. Great place to stay to reconnect while you disconnect. Looking forward to returning!

No neighbors at this quiet desert cabin. Did not need to test cooling system except for few hours one day due to timely northers and nearby thunderstorms each PM. Plenty of space for walks around desert in cool mornings. Quail and other birds were plentiful, as were cactus blooms. Shower and toilet sure beat camping, but took some getting used to. Our 2 mutts got to run aound and quickly learned to avoid cactus.

We loved our stay here. While it is very remote and may not be for everyone, we had a great stay! We loved the two decks, one on each side to take advantage of the beautiful sunrises and sunsets! The house had everything we needed. The small kitchen met our needs. We prepared all our meals without a problem. The bedroom was roomy and comfortable. Thanks for a great stay!

Very few unspoiled views. Remote location.w/..plenty neighbors. The house was clean but not ment for large people. No couch. or comfortable chairs in the house. No box spring on bed. Dinning table/chairs were child sized.

Unique stay in off-grid property. Listing is super accurate in setting expectations on what an off-grid stay entails, specifically for this property, so read carefully to make sure it's for you. Very clean and super happy with how truly remote it was. Un-obscured gorgeous views of the hills and desert. Not at all the fault of the property but we did have a blow-out on the unpaved road, so just word of caution to make sure you have a spare on hand for emergencies if you're arriving on street tires. Diego's Tire Repair in Terlingua took excellent care of us getting a replacement. Overall an awesome stay on an awesome property

I was looking for a quiet time away, and the Terlingua Ranch Retreat is the place. Seeing the stars at night was amazing! Thanks for a wonderful place to unwind!

Remote house with awesome views. Clean and comfortable. We did have problems with getting hot water in the shower and we did call the owners for assistance. They did get back in touch with us quickly. It still needs to be addressed. Overall we do recommend this house.
