Big Bend Lodging at Ten Bits Ranch | Room #2 (The School House)

Beautiful views and a fun, rustic vibe. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

My wife and I enjoyed sitting outside in the evening watching the stars. The cantina was well stocked and we prepared and cooked several meals there so we could enjoy the desert.

The cabin was really nicely decorated and very comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with necessities, had fridges for guests' food and also areas with donated food from previous guests

We loved the location, and the cantina was well stocked. I did not find the waffles until too late because the signs for them were on the other fridges. The doorknob on Schoolhouse #2 was loose, and the lock harder to use than these locks normally are, Sometimes it auto-locked so fast you could not enter, and sometimes it didn’t lock. Luckily a neighbor told us that tapping the word Schlage functions as a lock. This property is managed remotely.

Lodge was clean and sheets smelled nice. The property is awesome!!! All the comforts of home in the cantina. The views are spectacular.

The place was amazing, surrounded by mountains, very quiet and we got to see lots of stars and the Milky way. The little chalet we stayed was confortable and quaint. The road to acces the place was the only things I didn't like, probably because we had a flat tire, but two samaritans came to our rescue, Valente and Vladimir, very greatful, specially because of the heat. We were free to use a really nice kitchen, fully equipped, were we cooked the food we brought.

Loved the old town feel of the ranch. Our room was very comfortable. No can opener or tea bags in the kitchen area.

Though we reserved the School House at Ten Bits, we ended up at Mercantile #10, due to a wasp nest on the back patio of the School House. Sis was amazing at getting us into a vacant room so that the wasps could be taken care of. Both the rooms were great with absolutely stunning views of sunset. I was really impressed with Sis’ quick response and resolution of the problem. It was a cool place to stay.

Very peaceful with nothing else around. Great views for sunsets. Very comfortable.

Enjoyed our stay. Everything great

Off the beaten path, but accessible! The remote location made for easy access to Terlingua and Big Bend NP. The little (but growing) frontier town is off the grid and has an impressive solar/battery set up! Everything that you may need for a quick breakfast or to cook your own meal is available in the Cantina. But we enjoyed the location the most, it offered mountains for back drops and the darkest skies that we have ever photographed! Highly recommend!

We never met our host but that's ok. The accomodations were nice, beautiful area.

Our host was extremely accommodating. She helped us from a remote when we could not access our cabin. The view was incredible. The shared kitchen was cleanand warm and located near our cabin. Our cabin was large and beautiful and the gas log fireplace kept us cozy.

Loved the desert old west vibe.

We really enjoyed our stay. Beautiful views, quiet, and relaxing.

Was a great get away in the middle of nowhere with hot showers

The cabin and location were awesome. Didn't need for anything. The Cantina was very clean and the other campers were very friendly and helpful. Would love to come again and enjoy the breathtaking views !!! Thank you,The Harpers

The property is arranged like a an old time western town with a few fun twists. we only spent 2 nights here, but we would definitely stay here again. We used this property as a jumping off point for Big Bend National Park which is only about 20 minutes away. Loved the views off the back of our cabin which was schoolhouse #2. Disnt get a chance to explore the property much at all but are looking forward to it on our next visit. Great bed and plenty of room...shower is a little old but didnt bother us at all...great towels and decent amenities.

Loved it! Amazing night sky and able to walk around the area. Great cantina for cooking as restaurants are 20-40 min away. The 2 mile road to get there is the only downfall as it’s just caliche rock but -if no rain- a medium size car and small suv will be fine. But that 2 miles off the main road contributes to the isolation and beautiful sky.

It was fabulous. Exceeded our expectations.

Two miles down an unpaved road but an interesting property. No room hair dryer or potable water in the room. Six water bottles were provided because the tap water wasn’t potable.

Out of all of the places around here that you can stay this place, we believe, was the shining star. It’s private, you get your own patio to stare at the gorgeous landscape around you. Views are spectacular, cleanliness and comfort are top notch. We already agreed if we make this trip back here, we will only stay here.

Nice and scenic. EVerything was clear and easy

The schoolhouse building was just enough for a quick trip to Big Bend National Park. No frills, but adequate housing with a comfy bed to rest your head at night. The outdoor porches were nice with beautiful rocky surroundings! Definitely would have used the firepit if there wasn't a burn ban in effect. Super easy check-in and check-out. Wish we were a little closer to the park to save commuting time.

Love the property, peacefully and quite and loved the community kitchen and getting to meet others staying on the property that are spending time in and hiking big bend trails.

Very awesome thank you so much

Cute, but black mold in shower, bottom quite old and dirty, and shower curtain so red with filth that it was like a stiff board. Floors in room were dirty, warped from water. They are building many new units on the property. It's a shame they aren't taking care of the older ones

Comfortable and quaint.

Drove about 2 miles off road on rough dirt road. No lights in parking area. No one on site to assist. Room was agreeable but pricey They add cleaning fees before we got there Lots of this was not disclosed prior to being able to rebook

We had a great time and loved this property. We would stay here again in a heartbeat! We have two dogs, and we enjoyed being able to have them join us. The cantina/kitchen is well appointed and has everything in stock that you need. They even have full breakfast supplies of coffee, water, waffles, bagels, cream cheese, and a few other options. The room was very nice and comfortable. The water gets HOT which is nice after a full day of hiking. The views are spectacular in the morning and evening. There's nice chairs and fire pits to enjoy the sunset too. There was ample opportunity to interact with other guests if you choose. We really enjoyed the solitude and kept to ourselves and appreciated the chance to take full advantage of it.

We had a lovely stay. The house was comfortable. We loved the art and history, and the recommendations for The French Grocer and Brick Vault were spot on. We also visited Gage Garden, which was a lovely spot for a walk. Highly Recommended.

Spent two nights in the Bank. It was very quiet and in a good location near Big Bend, had everything we needed.

We stayed for two nights and it was fun! If you stay here, read all the instructions that are emailed to you. Bring food, ice, and anything else you feel you need for the length of your stay. The closest grocery store and restaurant is about 30 minutes away. We loved the shared kitchen. It had everything you need to cook your stuff with a nice area for sitting down to eat.

Relaxing and so quiet. I haven’t seen stars like that in years! Accommodations were comfortable and so clever! I love the old west vibe. It felt like we’re in a movie set. Perfect place to take my husband for his birthday.

Ten Bits Ranch is a unique property. The rooms are named after businesses you’d find in an old west town. But it has modern conveniences (AC, Wifi, tv). If you want to get a way from it all, Ten Bits rests on a low hill within scenic rock formations and hills. Lil Sis was quick to respond to questions, and was unruffled by our mistakenly staying next door to our reserved room. Simply charming and beautiful.
