If you want to experience the total off grid experience in extremely nice rooms then Ten Bits is for you. It is rustic, looks like a small "old west mining town," and very remote. Although you are "out in the boonies" they have WiFi, a very nice communal kitchen, and acres of wilderness for hiking. The sunsets from our porch were spectacular! I very highly recommend XB, but they are about 2 miles of rough caliche road from the highway. I would suggest a 4x4 with good ground clearance, and bring plenty of water and food. If I live long enough we will be back!

Ten Bits is an incredible place. Very unique experience and very accommodating. Beautiful scenery an awesome rustic atmosphere. Communication was excellent. Highly recommend.

This was an amazing replica of an old western town. The room was clean and decorated marvelously. We loved the joint Cantina where we dined alone and with an others. We hiked the hillside and my husband dubbed a spot Window Rock due to the square hole through it. We will recommend and be back ourselves the next time we come south. Thank you XBits. Wonderful job.

What a wonderful stay.

The property was nice but the shower was dirty.

A different type of rental. Definitely off the main road. Cabins are nice. It is like staying in an old western town. Quiet area. Nothing around you. Not what we are used to, but very enjoyable. Would stay here again.

This little ranch out in Terlingua is such a beautiful respite from the hustle of any city-dweller’s day to day. The drive in from the main road is long enough that you can’t here traffic from the highway. The sunsets are picturesque and the offerings are plenty! We felt very taken care of and in the know. For those venturing to Big Bend, the juicy parts of the park (visitor centers and hikes) are about an hour and 15 minutes away but the drive is beautiful and easy. I highly recommend this spot for groups trying to get a few cabins together or any solo travelers that love a communal spot to stay. The kitchen and common areas are well put together and it’s easy to get alone time or interact with others staying there. Loved it!!

The pictures on the Internet looked great! IT"S NOT, what you see in person. The place we stayed Gun Shop (Room #3) was DIRTY!! The bathroom shower had BLACK MOLD in it. The floors in both the bed area & bathroom were soiled and needed to be cleaned. There was something on the bathroom door that needed to be cleaned off that another group had left. GROSS! We NEVER heard or saw any property manager, My suggestion would be to have a real live person there to greet you, rather then a written manual to read. Do a general housekeeping!!

We enjoyed everything about this property. The pictures in the listing are very accurate. The shared kitchen was so nice. We were able to cook a hot breakfast and weren’t in the way of other guests. The cabin was perfect for the two of us. The water in the cabin is not potable but the owners had plenty of bottled water for us to use. The road to get to the ranch is rough and is made for high clearance vehicles. I’m sure a regular car could get through but definitely drive slow because of the big rocks and rugged terrain. A strong storm rolled in Saturday night but we had no issues with power outages because everything on the ranch is ran by solar panels and generators. It was nice to sit on the covered porch and watch the storm come in over the mountains. We had a campfire and roasted marshmallows and enjoyed the dark desert skies. The Wifi was a bit choppy but we were still able to get an ok signal. The ranch is off the grid so they operate with well water and rain water. We had a bit of an issue with the water in our cabin and in the cantina on our last night but maintenance quickly corrected the problem. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone looking to disconnect from reality for a little while.

This place is beautiful. Property is beautiful. The hair didn’t send me the code so thankfully, some other tenants were able to help me get in contact with the host for my code since I had no service. There were some fleas in the shower and on the bed. disappointed for how expensive the rooms were. One unoccupied room had every light on and a massive window with no blinds, so it was frustrating when we tried to e since it ruined the darkness a bit. Besides that, it was a nice stay

We visited for one night in The Gun Shop. The room was great and we loved sitting out at might looking at the stars. The entire setup is si cute and well thought out. When we can stay again, we would choose a room in a cabin with only one room. The sound carries just a bit between the two atrached rooms. The hosts have thought of so many things to make the place special and hVe hone above and beyond what was needed or done at other places we've seen in the area.

We met a few of the other guests and enjoyed spending time with them. This would be a great place for a small family reunion.

Great location and ambiance with the western theme. Surrounded by rock formations and had a beautiful night sky. Clean place and the hosts were very responsive and accommodating. Best to arrive when you have some daylight since lights on the property are minimized to enjoy the night sky.

Unique, comfortable, remote. Had everything needed plus pet friendly. Water was not potable but bottled water was provided. The night sky was awesome. The Gunshop cabin was really cute. Only suggestion is that the ceiling fan should be able to run with the light off but it didn’t.

Roomy cabin and convenient self-serve cantina. Close to Big Bend and Terlingua. Cloudy skies and high winds kept us from seeing stars and having a fire. Next time!

We had a great time at this property! The location and feel was exactly what we needed for a weekend away.

This was an experience in itself. Absolutely loved this place. Almost magical in a western sense. We stayed in the Gun Shop. Loved it. Cozy. The fireplace just makes the room. Loved that the windows open. The decor was so perfect. The con side would be checking in we did not get our code. This could have been a simple issue of email and connections. A very nice lady staying there helped us with that issue. No real big deal in the whole scheme of things. The other would be the shower water was just barely warm. My husband was almost cold. Very short showers too. No excessive time in there at all. Again this would not stop me from staying here again. The kitchen for everyone was amazing as well and stocked with the basics for a light continental type breakfast. Also with a fireplace. The photos ops just made me happy. They did this place up right and looks like they are adding on to the little western town. Would absolutely recommend staying here. Ps the drive in after rain is a bit slippery and it is quite a ways off the main road. Again this was all part of the experience. You need to go here!!!!!

Great experience!

We had a great time in the area and at Ten Bits Ranch. The room was comfortable and clean and the location is beautiful!

This is a cozy little place away from everything and has a fantastic view of the stars at night.

We wanted a place out in the middle of nowhere and this place did the trick. We spent a couple days there and it was just what we needed to reset.

This is a really well thought out place. It delivered on the remote feel especially after driving 2 miles into the desert on a very rutted and rough rocky road. What a pleasant surprise to find units that were very comfortable, clean and fun. More impressive was the solar and propane utilities. The kitchen facilities were well stocked and generously supplied for breakfasts. Staff were extremely pleasant and helpful. One suggestion would be less single use plastics as there was no recycling. Maybe a water cooler could be an option to the water bottles. Our stay was a thoroughly enjoyable retreat.

Property was fine. Would recommend with one caveat. The drive off the highway was a surprise. No mention of the possible issues until we had booked. Also you have a water leak in the ceiling in the bathroom. Noticed water on the floor but thought it was something we spilled. The second night we noticed it dripping off the ceiling. You can see the water marks on the ceiling beam. The last night we were there it had quit leaking. It only leaked when there was a heavy dew which was not present the last night..

If you want to be near Big Bend and star gaze to your hearts delight, this is the place for you!

was very nice and room very clean and comfortable. Drive on dirt road was a little long and unexpected but our car was able to make it.

Loved it .. road in a bit bumpy but a great place to relax

We loved staying here, it was the prefect location for your travels to Big Bend National Park. The location is beautiful and the set up is so cute since its styled after an old west town. When we stayed it did rain and we were nervous about driving on the dirt road to the cabin but the owner was so helpful and updated us of the condition. If we even come back to Big Bend we will definitely stay here again!

Would definitely stay here again! Place was clean. Cantina area was fantastic! Thanks for the hospitality! We will be back!

There were storms which made us choose a different location, but we really enjoyed the one night we were there!

It was wonderful! Very clean and beautiful views

It was wonderful! Very clean and beautiful views

I was in search of an off grid place to fully disconnect from the madness of life. The freedom of not having cell service (Verizon) and the vast expanse of the foothills and high desert fit the need. Sis was incredibly communicative and helpful prior to arriving. Very kind and very responsive. I stayed in the Gun house. It was very comfortable and clean. Water bottles were provided for drinking, along with a microwave, small refrigerator and stocked bathroom. There is also a TV with satellite if you need, but why would you when you have nature! There are also grills, both charcoal and gas to cook on. The cantina provides breakfast items if you do not bring your own along with coffee, milk, and other breakfast drinks. Ten Bits Ranch is off grid. I have seen reviews complaining about skunks and other things. This place is off grid and just amazing! This is not the city and I am so glad it isn't. Detaching from the craziness of day to day life and sitting beneath the starts reminds you of how insignificant you and your problems are in the cosmos. There is so much to love about Ten Bits Ranch. No light pollution, no road noise, and just God's country. I highly recommend visiting and staying at Ten Bits Ranch, but do your research. Seeing negative comments from folks that failed to understand what Ten Bits Ranch is and where it is located, is not on Sis and Cowboy. They have an amazing property and have been great stewards. Also, if you are into Astrophotography, you have to check this ranch out. You can get just sky pictures or fit in ridgelines. I will be going back for sure!
