It was basic as for the accommodations; however, it was presented that way in its description. The restaurant nearby provided an array of comfort foods.

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'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.

2/10 Poor

Remote location, no cell service terrible service

There was no disclosure on the site about how far off the beaten path the hotel is located. 30 miles from Study Butte/Terlingua down a partially paved/poor dirt road and over an hour from Big Bend. No cell service, terrible internet and one captive restaurant of dubious quality. No TV in the room. Room was spartan to say the least with very hard mattresses. It was clean - about the only plus. No coffee for guests or ice, have to pay for everything. Tried to check out early (after one night of 3 night stay) and they refused to refund the balance despite agreeing with all of our points of dissatisfaction. The desk even acknowledged they have a lot of disappointed guests due to the remote location. Apparently the ranch is a time-share as well, which explains a lot. Our car and backs may never recover from getting in and out. Do NOT stay here.

6/10 Good

Hours of staff not great. We never saw any the whole time of our stay. They came after we left in the morning, and they were gone before we got back at night. It's located a long way off of the main highway and the last 3 mi of road are not good. The Numbers of the buildings. need to be lit up for people who come in after dark And the floor where we stayed was sticky. Apparently not rinsed well after cleaning.

I'd Stay There Again, but Bring My Coffee Maker!!

Everyone was super friendly and helpful. Loved how remote the place was. The only complaint I have is that I wish they had coffee makers in the rooms. I like to have coffee on the porch i. The morni gs, before having to face other humans for the day. 😂

Worth the drive!

No welcome email was sent prior to arrival so we were unaware that the main desk closed at 5pm. Further, phone calls to the front desk and the manager went unanswered so it appears that calls are not forwarded after hours. We arrived at 10 pm hoping someone would help us. Thankfully, there was a late check in system established. Room was great, food at the Angry Rabbit was great . . . Everything was perfect with the exception of the administrative part. Now that we know how the site works, I will gladly go back and would happily recommend it to friends and family.

Great place for family

What a delightful place for my grandson and I to stay on our vacation across the great state of TX! Our lodge room was large and clean with a small fridge and our private bathroom. We were traveling in the middle of February and the overnight temp got down to mid 40s but we were perfectly comfortable inside. We put on our winter coats and sat on the lovely deck after dark watching the stars…so many! There’s a great welcome notebook with information about the ranch and the area. Dinner was at the Bad Rabbit, the little on-site restaurant. GREAT burgers and fries! Beautiful location nestled in the shadow of the….butte? Hill? Sorry we only had one night here, would highly recommend.

Off the beaten path for a visit to Big Bend

It's one of the lodging options around the Big Bend NP. It's 16 miles off the highway and the last 3 miles is unpaved, which makes it less than ideal for a multi-day visit to the park. Otherwise it is a reasonable choice to visit the park. The restaurant, Bad Rabbit, at the lodge is better than expected but the in-room WiFi is very bad.

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
