"Super remote BUT very comfy with absolutely everything you would need. Covered outdoor cooking was great and we loved watching the birds during the day and the stars at night."
"Room was excellent, breakfast was disappointing. They apparently ran out of orange juice so I was told to go next door and buy some, that was their responsibility as I was already paying $13 for an okay buffet."

Prickly Pear Cabin near Big Bend NP & SP
10/10 Excellent
"Very remote and awesome place to get away from it all. We got to watch a spectacular metro shower. An unforgettable experience I got to share with my dad."
"Michele and Mark made our stay amazing they could not have been nicer and made us feel welcome. They were extremely helpful on places to eat and sites to see. They are very informative on the local wildlife and genuinely cared about our safety. I truly enjoyed spending time on the porch and just talking with them. I highly recommend this rental for the beautiful landscape and the solitude. Thank you Michele and Mark for making our anniversary a special time."
"Everything about this rental was amazing! The views were gorgeous. The house was spotless, the kitchen had everything you could need, and of course the airplane was the icing on the cake. The location was fantastic-so close to Big Bend, the disc golf course, and the ghost town. Cannot recommend this rental enough!!"
Christmas Mountains Ranch: Classic 2br/1bth Cabin with Spacious Wrap Around Porc
10/10 Excellent
"WOW, this property did NOT disappoint! Perfect for my wife and I, and obviously could have accommodated more people if needed. Everything we needed was there, and they thought of the "little kindnesses" too, like night lights in the hall and bathroom, places to plug in phones, well stocked kitchen, lots of games, etc etc.Our favorite part was watching sunrise and sunset from the front and back porches...indescribably stunning! And, it's super cool to be surrounded basically on 3 sides by Big Bend NP, as that's what we were there for...still gotta drive to it, of course, but the sensation of having it "right there" was super cool. Quiet and private, gorgeous views, comfortable beds, easy-to-use TV system, great instructions and communications.A !!!!"
