Worth the drive.
Very clean room but remember no tv. Plenty of outlets and great cross ventilation with the two windows if weather cooperates. Air conditioner/heater worked. We had to use both while there. The restaurant was convenient. Friendly staff.

We had a wonderful stay at the ranch! This is a great place if you want to go to Big Bend national park.
The room was clean and the beds were comfy.
Thanks again for a great stay!

Challenging drive in…16 miles off main road, last 3 rough gravel. Restaurant on site was good, didn’t use pool. Definitely a rustic setting.

We loved our stay! The staff were friendly and helpful with any questions we had. We enjoyed eating at the Bad Rabbit Café on site, and even enjoyed a karaoke night at the basement entertainment center. The drive on Terilingua Ranch Road is lengthy, but definitely worth it!

We'd go back any day!
This is a great base for Big Bend roaming. We were ok on the unpaved road in our van but those not used to it may want a suv/crossover/truck. This is glamping- not 5 star hotel- everything in the room is outfitted as such. It was the perfect mix of comforts and still getting that outdoorsy feel. We saw deer, ringtail cats, javalina, lots of quail & roadrunners. The views are lovely & the food was good.

Very nice stay. Their bathroom needs an upgrade and 3 miles of bumpy road to reach the property makes it a 4/5 star experience.

Loved the lodge and the service. Very clean. However I wish that the last 3 miles of the road to the lodge was paved/graded. Bone jarring ride back and forth was the one thing I didn’t look forward to.

We loved our cabin and the views of the dark night sky were incredible. The staff was very friendly and the food and service at Bad Rabbit Cafe was excellent. It was very convenient to have the Bad Rabbit Cafe as an option. The only downfall was the long 16 mile road(last 3 miles are dirt) to reach the property from the main road.

Go for the dark sky
We stayed here to visit the Big Bend National Park. The entrance to the park ended up about an hour away, but our stay was well worth it. We got to experience “Dark Sky” and was absolutely beautiful. The cafe provided excellent service. We would stay again. Very rural but very nice place
