Longhorn Ranch Motel - Standard Room

Never saw staff, clean room, quiet, beautiful night Skies!

Basic but very clean

This is a very clean small property reminiscent of the 60s motor motels. It is definitely a desert vibe which is as it should be. The beds were okay (if you’re young they’re probably good), there were two and one was better than the other. Linens were good. There is a coffee maker, small refrigerator and microwave in the room. The pool was clean and a nice place to view the stars. It has several built in barbecue grills around the property, it looked like there was one for each building. Only two things I would change… make the outside lights red instead of amber then turn them towards the room and add a few more chairs outside the room. It is about 15 to 20 minutes from restaurants and a good little grocery and 30 from the entrance to the park.

Parking was easy and convenient. Appreciated the refrigerator and the room was comfortable.

Room was clean. No complaints here. Easy key pickup and check out. We felt safe here. There were lots of other tourists there- mostly older folks in a tour group. They were very friendly.

Good clean room! Not much as far as amenities, no TVs but you spend most or your time outside on trails!

It is a very peaceful, very clean, & very well taken care of place. I wish we could have stayed longer. It is defenitly a good place to get away if you want peace & quiet for relaxation, to write, for couple away time, ect.

No TV , no staff (get your key in a mailbox) , restaurant closed and closest place to eat is 12 miles back the way you came.Only place to offer two beds in the Park area reason I booked it.

Great place to star gaze. Room was nice and clean. Will stay again when I go back.

We didn’t see any of the staff. The room was clean and everything worked.

The room was spacious and comfortable and we had everything we needed, including bottled water when we arrived. The pool is quite pleasant, but with few chairs so bring your own if you plan to lounge there. Our only suggestion would be to lower the very bright light on the pole in the parking lot so we could actually enjoy the dark skies.

Good spot for national park adventures

Room was clean. Check in time was 3:00. We were there about 3:30. Had to walk around to find someone that worked there to get the key. The guy was not friendly or welcoming at all. Website should state that GPS will not get you to the address stated. Had to drive around and finally ask someone after we went 20 minutes out of the way.

Staff were very nice especially when we got there a day early. They were able to provide us an available room. Room was very clean. No issues at all.

Our trip to the Longhorn Ranch Motel exceeded our expectations. My daughter and I were traveling alone to visit Big Bend and I was a little nervous about the remoteness of the trip. We felt completely safe, the room was clean, comfortable and quiet. The staff was also kind and considerate. We had a short drive to the park with a convenient gas station on the way! I would recommend this motel to anyone taking a trip to the area.

Good location close to the national park and state park. Beautiful ground. Called twice before my trip and staff answered phone quickly and offered instructions clearly. Checking in and out was smooth. I did not get to meet the staff because of the time I left and returned during my stay. Restaurant closed at 4 so I didn't get to try the food. Overall a very pleasant stay.

Clean rooms, free WiFi, quiet location close to the entrance to Big Bend National Park.

Great place to stay!

You are out in the country in the desert. For us, this was a plus. So incrediblty quiet, peaceful and great scenery. Millions of stars with a brilliant twinkling Milky Way at night. Easy to find and lots of free parking. Staff cooked to order; wonderful breakfast. Friendly privately owned property. It is pet friendly but none were there when we stayed. Barking dogs would have ruined it. Highly recommend to adventurous outdoor types. Would definitely stay again.

Great spot, nice pool area for the family, and very quiet at night! A must stay for visiting Big Bend National Park!

Great place. Nice and quiet. So peaceful sitting on the piech

This property was between Alpine and Terlingua, so it is pretty remote. The area is beautiful and the motel property was cute. The room was clean, my only criticism is the beds were too firm for my liking. Otherwise, it was a perfect stay. I definitely recommend.

Easy check in and check out. Room was simple and adequate. Bring water.

Could not use the pool as it was very dirty. The room is outdated.

Nice place for the price. Well situated near Terlingua.

This motel was well situated about 30 mins from Big Bend and 15 mins from bars and restaurants in Terlingua. Keys for the room were picked up from a box outside the restaurant. The room itself was very basic but everything was in working order. The beds were ok but not super comfy. We had a small issue with the hot water which was dealt with promptly by Amy. If you just want somewhere to sleep with no frills, then this motel will do the trick. Also, if you want to eat at Starlight Theatre restaurant, make sure you get there at least 30 mins before it opens at 5 otherwise you will be waiting for a table for hours!!

I liked how our stay was only 2 days and I did not like how the bathtub was cracked and made out of plastic. I could not take a poop comfortably because of how small the bathroom was. We lost power and water on the first night. I tried to plug in a lamp but it started sparking and shocked me so I had to unplug it before It could cause a fire.

Simply furnished but spotlessly clean. All of the basics are there. SO quiet and peaceful. Easy access to the National Park entrance. They also have a little restaurant featuring Mexican cuisine. Everything we ordered was delicious. Kind, helpful, hospitable staff.

For the area, this is a decent place. That being said, not a lot of options. The area did not have any AT&T cell service. The motels WiFi was good. The one surprise we did have was no TV. Luckily I had my tablet and we were able to watch that at the end of the night.

I took my two children and we loved this place. It was full of nature, the stars were beautiful at night, and the sunset was also beautiful. We want to come back here again.

I enjoyed the easy check in but did not like that it did not have a TV.

First time staying at a Vrbo. Property was away from everything which was good for stargazing. Did enjoy our stay as Big Bend was only about 30 minutes away and Study Butte / Terlingua were only 20 minutes away.

We loved our room and the ambience of the hotel. Our room was perfect for organizing our backpacking stuff before big bend. Wifi was okay, water pressure and temp was great but height short for my 6 foot husband. We highly recommend the place for folks wanting to stay outside big bend NP.

Amy helped my family and I after I had booked for the wrong date. We really appreciated her kindness and flexibility.

Such a great place to stay, quiet, super extra clean. Large room.

Everything was great…easy check in and out. Beautiful location and convenient. I will stay there next time I visit.

Great! Perfect stay for a last minute trip to Big Bend. Clean. Had everything I needed.

Rooms were a good size, clean and safe. Great location.

Exactly as featured, great hospitality & we got a room refresh each day which was nice!

Nice place by big bend.

Did not use. Its saltvwater and was cold. Room was clean. Very plain beds ok Not real comfortable. Hard. Water only warm and notbmuch pressure.

Decent

Easy, relaxing, and simple accommodations

The distance described prior to booking showed around 16 minutes from Big Bend National Park, that was very misleading, drove for 1 hour instead.swimming pool didn’t look good.

Great place to stay, beautiful views!

The heater in our room stopped working at midnight. We froze. We didn’t contact the host because we were so exhausted and would have had to move all of our stuff. The light between the beds wouldn’t work and was missing a shade. The bed was comfortable. I wish we would have known there was no TV in the room so we could have brought a laptop or something. We came in late and had no idea where our room was and there was no one to ask, so my husband had to walk the rooms in the cold until he found ours. It would have been nice to have a little map showing us where to go in the dark. Overall the room didn’t meet our basic needs with the heater not working but we made do.

This was a great stay and Amy was awesome with communication and making sure our stay was the best.

Helpful hostPet-Friendly Beautiful property

It was a great stay!

Quiet, comfortable bed, clean, except for the 2 dead spiders, but I figure that comes with the territory. Very convenient place to stay near Big Bend.

No frills accommodations. Clean and comfortable, just what we needed after exploring the park all day.

This property was pet friendly.

Exactly as advertised. Clean, quiet, nice pool, within 15 minutes of Terlingua and Big Bend National Park. The restaurant next door had great pancakes. Beautiful views of the stars!

we loved it

Remote location with only wifi for entertainment. Room was very clean. Basic room. No frills. but no bugs

The location next to Big Bend was convenient. Hearing the birds every morning and seeing wild burros one evening were great! The rooms are clean and comfortable, but did miss having a tv.

Was able to handle our last minute changes smoothly

Easy access to the city, close to a gas station, not far at all from the entrance to big bend !!!

Overall, we enjoyed our stay! The property was clean, water pressure was good, the king bed was comfortable. The restaurant was closed when we stopped by for breakfast (they didn’t have a cook), there isn’t an ice machine, and no cell service. WiFi worked great and the night sky was amazing! Plus, we were very close to restaurants in Terlingua and Big Bend National Park. Overall, we enjoyed our stay.

We've just returned home from a five night stay at the Longhorn Ranch Motel for day trips into Big Bend National Park. It was a little bit of a daily drive to the park but the beautiful vistas made it enjoyable each day. We stayed in a simply furnished room, as advertized, including a mini fridge and a microwave. The beds were comfortable and the room stayed at a comfortable temperature. The towels were plush and large. The grounds were kept neat and clean. If we were to be out this way again, we would certainly consider staying here again! awcomfortable

We enjoyed our 4 days and was exactly as it was described.

My family of 4 stayed here for a couple of nights during our Big Bend trip. The location was great. Beds were comfortable. Loved sitting outside at night and watching the stars. We wish we would’ve brought food to grill on the pit. We enjoyed our stay.

The property was just as advertised. Simple, but clean...which given that we were in the area for a hiking trip in Big Bend, it was all we needed. The only recommendation I had was that the heater didn't work; (it was relatively pleasant at night so we didn't need it). Other than that, it met our needs.

Simple but efficient. This was perfect for us after a long day of hiking Big Bend to come back and get some sleep. Loved being within 20 minutes of the park.

If you expect an unpretentious, quiet ranch motel, with an onsite restaurant you will be pleased. If you expect a 3 star hotel, you might be disappointed. We took advantage of the quiet, dark location to look at the blood moon through our telescope. The restaurant was surprisingly good.

Needs bathroom maintenance and upgrade- leaky tioilet!, ac is old and loud, water has unpleasant taste. Love the convenience of onsite restaurant- good service and food. Outside surrounding is clean.

It was an easy place to stay. Directions from VRBO we’re lacking as to what to do when arriving. I would stay there again.

Only problem power went out our last night at 0115

The rooms were clean and received daily maid service. There was a power outage on the last night (it was very windy), but power was restored quickly. It was a wonderful place to stay!

Great location! Unique property! Could use updates.

This was a great location to visiting Big Bend National Park. Rooms were clean and comfortable. No TVs, but we didn't need one.Challenging to find the location in the dark as Google Maps and Apple Maps both gave wrong locations. Just take it slow on Texas 118 and keep your eyes peeled. It's great not having big, bright lights so you can see the amazing stars.

Property was as promised

The beds were really firm, however, we all had a great night sleep. To our surprise the beds were really comfortable.

This place worked well for our trip.

Shocked, but not disappointed, that there was not a TV in the room. Still 5 out of 5 stars.

This is an interesting place. The first thing we saw when we got into our room was a 6 millepede. We dealt with that. The next interesting experience was the white powder all over the bathroom floor. Still not sure what that was about. We had planned on staying 5 nights, but left after 3. In that time we were never offered fresh towels or more coffee. Did I mention that the AC sounded like a truck idling?

The perfect natural getaway to unplug and enjoy clear skies and starry nights outside Big Bend. Longhorn Ranch Motel provided the perfect jumping-off point.

Place was clean . Management provided us an extension cord and helped us locate the outlets . Friendly and available to our needs. It was a little ways out of the town.

Was forced to cancel our reservation but luckily the owner was very understanding and was very helpful.

Very clean property. Rooms are spacious and comfortable.
