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

2/10 Poor

This “lodge” was 15 miles down a long road, the first 12 were paved, last 3 were dusty washboard roads. The whole lodge was dusty dirt roads with lots of rocks. Checked in and got our key. It was in the 40s so turned the heater on first thing on the window unit that was 15 years old or more. It took 3 hours to heat up enough. But they close the office at 7 so even if there was a problem, there’s nobody to call until the next morning. They have a little restaurant there and it was Taco Tuesday. Waiter was nice and recommended the tacos. I got chicken and hubby got beef. They tasted really bad! The only good thing about this lodge is that it was right in front of a large mountain. We will not stay there again.

Mixed Stay
It is pretty far from the park. It takes an hour to get from the ranch to the major trailheads. Plus side, the restaurant is excellent! Small menu but very well done amd great staff! Minus, wifi at the resort (the restaurants has it's own and it works well) was abysmal and the walls in the cabin are paper thin. I could hear every conversation next door word for word and thwy were just talking at a normal volume.

Great service and great food. Room and bed were comfortable. There is a dirt path road you have to travel to get here

In the middle of nowhere, close to nothing.
If you're staying here thinking you're staying in Terlingua proper, you're not. It's an hour drive to the "center" of Terlingua. And actually when we put the Lodge's address into GPS it gave us an Alpine address. So the name is misleading. If you're using this as a base camp for visiting Big Bend, it's about an hour and half to Panther Junction. Add an additional 20 minutes to the drive times given by Google Maps, the last three miles are probably the worst gravel road I've ever encountered (big rocks, washboard and washouts). So if you have a nice car or would rather not have to pay for a new front-end alignment, I'd avoid this place. We had a two night reservation here, but didn't return for the second night solely because of the road. Other than that, the place is pretty plain-jane. And noisy, our cabin was a four-plex and the neighbors were up early to get to Big Bend. Not really worth what they were charging.

Night sky viewing experience
Location for night sky viewing was worth the driving unpaved roads for 3 miles.

Nice, Remote Cabins
These are great little cabins, with no TV's or cell service, but WiFi is available. The staff was great. The beds are a little hard. We stayed in 2 different cabins because we had to move during our stay due to a water leak. The bed in the newer unit was more comfortable than the bed in the older unit, but still a little too hard for me. The area is beautiful, but very remote. It takes an extra 45 minutes to get into Terlingua for restaurants and gas stations, so once we finished for day at the parks, we made sure to get dinner before heading to the lodge, as we did not want to make the drive back into town again. Other than that, it was a great place to stay.

The drive onto property at 5pm, not recommended! Certainly not the fault of Terlingua Ranch, head out the window along the horrific 3.5 mile bumpy, shake riad in an economy vehicle not for the faint of heart. Once checked in by the awesome staff, so welcoming, such a pleasure. The room was great. The beds, and the pillows!!!! Omg🤗 where do we buy these!!! Everything so worth the ride out of town, stargazing unmatched! Thank you so very much, for sharing your hospitality and serene experience, we’re thankful. Our highest recommendation.

I knew it was out of town but the dirt road was not made clear at the time of booking.

Great place for some quiet contemplation. Remote location. It will take you about an hour to reach entrance to Big Bend. We enjoyed sitting out and enjoying the night sky.

Far out!
Amazing location - both very long to get to - and wonderful to be so ‘far out ‘ at the same time. I’m not sure we would have done it if we know how long it would take to get to this ranch, and at the same time we were glad to discover it. Absolutely loved the dark sky experience - seeing the stars like when we were kids! The staff was wonderful! A unique experience! Would suggest staying at least two nights - we only stayed one. But we both thought it would be worthwhile to stay longer. We got more of a sense (how ever small) of the people who chose to live in this area. A diverse and unique collection of individuals.

Rustic but very nice.
First trip to Big Bend National Park, lodging within the park wasn't available so we found this lodge online. It is about 16 miles off the main road and last few miles are on a rocky bumpy gravel/dirt road. Room and beds were comfortable and clean. Loved the porch area with chairs, a small table to set drinks on would have been nice. The view of the night sky and stars was amazing. Onsite cafe was good with inside and outside seating. Pool area looked well maintained and clean.
