Spectacular Mountain Views.

We absolutely loved our stay here. The views were incredible, and it was so peaceful and quiet. Some of our favorite moments were watching the sunrise and sunset, relaxing in the hot tub, exploring the property, and spotting all kinds of wildlife.The location was perfect for our Big Bend adventure, only about 50 minutes from the park. After long days of hiking, the nearby pool was a great place to cool off and relax, and having laundry facilities available there was an added bonus.This was the perfect place to come back to after a day of exploring. We made some great memories here and would definitely stay again.

We had to chekout (2) days early due to mice and cleanliness of property. Requested a refund for the (2) nights and have not been compensated. Overall terrible experience.

Very rustic cabin. Plenty of room for 4 to sleep. Just annoying having to bring your own sheets and blankets/towels but I get it. Roads are very bumpy and I recommend a truck because we had to use 4 wheel drive. We enjoyed our time. Host very friendly! So was Donkey!

There were not many pictures of the inside of home and I was unaware that bedding and toilet paper were not supplied by host until we talked with owner. I may have missed those instructions on the listing. We ended up finding out just in time to make a stop at Fort Stockton and buying sleeping bags and supplies. Host was very friendly and helpful with lots of info about the area. Their pet donkey Maggie was a hit with our teen kids! The home was down a rough rock road and would be difficult for a small or low vehicle. Great views and serene area to visit.

We had a lovely time, and all ended well, but like my friend said, the house was a bit of a surprise since it wasn't what we were expecting. The listing says 3 bedroom/2 bath but that is very misleading because those 3 bedrooms and 2 baths are split between two rentals. Even with that, calling the larger property a 2 bedroom/1 bath isn't completely accurate because one of the bedrooms is actually the living room. There should be a way to separate the listings and cross-post so it is more accurate. Also, the hot tub is at the owner's house, so not easily accessible and if there is a community pool it is very well hidden. There are no towns very close, so any amenities that are tied to a town are quite a drive. The donkey is fun until she's not. We ended up sitting in the corral with the gate locked so she would leave us alone. At the end of the day, we all agreed that we would go back if we were in the area again since now we know what to expect.

Great place environment and host beautiful view and feels like home

The views were spectacular but the check-in process was not smooth. Difficult to communicate directly with the owner with my busy schedule before leaving for our trip. Also, bringing our own linens and dishware required an extra suitcase that we had to pay for with our flight. The equipment in the kitchen didn't work. Long dirt road. You had to navigate to get to property and your car was parked behind a gate that you had to walk to

Lodge needs updating to include pictures, accurate information of rooms in lodge rented such as ours was not a two bath,3 bedroom home with the beds listed. The lodge was not very clean and we took pictures to shows this. The view was very beautiful, and the host was very nice

Not for everyone but we enjoyed our stay on this private ranch and the host is worth getting to know.

Fantastic place if you want to get of the grid and see the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Amazing property with a little cabin. Remember to lock the doors or Maggie will take it as an invite to enter. Good idea to dowload an offline map as there is no signal in the area.

I should have booked us for 2+ nights! 1 night, 1 sunset and 1 sunrise was simply NOT enough at this property. Aside from the cottage being absolutely cute beyond expectation, the V I E W S were to die for. Stay up on the front porch to watch the sunset before heading into town to visit the starlight theater. It is worth every minute! And when you’re ready with coffee in hand, enjoy the sunrise in the hot tub. We faced away from the sunrise to see the hues on the mountains ahead of us change from a brown to deep orange to yellow and eventually Moises our way back down to the cabin. Your host will be more than accommodating and provide more than enough comedic relief to make you feel right at home. We’ll be returning, without a shadow of a doubt!

We stayed at Tarantula Ranch for an impromptu big bend adventure and we could not have been more pleased! Spectacular views, the darkest skies around, and all the comforts I was looking for in a big bend cabin stay. The location is close to Terlingua and Big Bend, but still offers the remote experience I was looking for. The owner, Curt, and his burro Maggie are the cherry on top of our amazing stay. I’m already planning my next trip! 10/10, highly recommend!.
