"The room was clean, the host was helpful, the views were gorgeous! It was easy to get to, nice and quiet, with some wildlife to observe. We enjoyed our stay tremendously!"
"Great private location, quiet, awesome stars, and comfortable beds. Our group of 8 had plenty of room and an easy time here. Would absolutely book again."
"This place is incredible!! If you're looking for a true Southwest experience, this is the place to stay! The kitchen is stocked with everything you need (and the fridge is huge). The rooms are more than spacious; the decor is unique and absolutely beautiful. We loved that each bedroom had it's own bathroom and private patio. Because of the location, sunrises and sunsets were spectacular, as were the stars. We had to find the place in the dark (which made us a bit nervous), but the host gave very specific instructions that led us right to the place! In the daytime, we saw javelinas on our drive out to the main highway! Our drive into Big Bend each day was a bit longer than if we stayed in Terlingua, but our entire party agreed it was DEFINITELY worth the extra 40 minutes; we'd do it again in a heartbeat. Thanks for a great stay!p.s. The host was super quick to respond to questions and gave us great recommendations on places to eat (and where to get gas & groceries)."
"Absolutely amazing property. The surrounding scenery is incredible, the house has everything you can possibly need, and the check-in process went without a hitch. It’s very private and the night sky is worth the price alone. My husband and I enjoyed every moment, from drinking coffee on the porch, lounging on the hammock, and sitting around the chimney. I cannot recommend this property enough. 10/10."
"I had a wonderful stay at Terlingua Ranch Retreat. It was perfect for me—very remote, peaceful, and completely tranquil. The stars at night were incredible, and the cabin gets lovely breezes with spectacular views in every direction. The unit was also very clean, and I had no issues during my stay.Not at all a concern for me , but the retreat is about 30 minutes from Terlingua and the Ghost Town, so it may feel a little far if you want to be close to everything. Load up on groceries in Alpine before heading down and you’re good to go! Place has gas cook top and gas grill outside. If you want privacy, beautiful scenery, and absolutely no noise or crowds, this place is perfect. I would definitely stay here again!"
