Terlingua Ranch Lodge

"The place is perfect for hiking, star gazing and relaxation. The rooms could have used more insulation. We could hear everything going on in the room next to us. The first night it was a guy snoring, and the next night it was a group of guys that never slept. Thank God for the ac unit that you could put on "fan only," that cut the noise. It's a long drive from Terlingua, but I would definitely recommend this place for anyone who is looking for tranquility, stars galore, and beautiful scenery."

"It’s a lodge so don’t expect a lot. But the room we got was renovated and we liked it. It’s a drive to get here from the ghost town or the national park and the last 3 miles are not paved. If your car can handle it then you should be fine. Also there is no cell service and WiFi is spotty, so good place to be disconnected. The cafe here is good."

"Our room was clean and tidy. The beds were comfortable and there was plenty of hot water. The views were wonderful and it was a great place to look at the stars! The office was very helpful and The Bad Rabbit restaurant served a tasteful American style cuisine. We would definitely stay there again"

"During our visit to Big Bend National Park, Texas we chose Terlingua Ranch Lodge as our lodge for the duration, we booked before reading the reviews which was good, because people are complaining about the wrong things here. yes it is far from everything, there is nothing "nearby", you will need a vehicle for everything when you stay here, they have a laundry room, and a small kiosk, you can buy ice here. there is also a cafe/restaurant on site, but it was closed while we were here, there is a fridge in the room, no microwave, no coffee machine. they ask that you limit your water use, which makes sense, you are in the desert, there is a large trash can outside each cabin, each cabin has four units, there is no problem parking right outside the door here. there is quite a drive to get to anywhere, including restaurants, gas stations and the main reason for staying here, Big Bend National Park, there is no cell service here, but they do have wifi which covers a lot more than the cabins, we were able to go for an afternoon stroll and stay connected to their wifi. in my experience the staff was helpful, friendly and patient, I needed to purchase ice and painkillers one day and the person on duty was on the phone with another potential guest, she was calm and patient while she helped them, I was able to pay for the ice without waiting for the phonecall to finish. the location is very quiet, you have amazing views, the night sky is incredible, and I wish we had snapped a couple of photos of that incredible sky during our stay."
