Hike and explore right outside your room without the rules and limitations of the public parks.

Ten Bits Ranch has some of the best views of the famous Big Bend stars. Since Ten Bits Ranch is completely off grid and located on 550 private acres, there are no neighbors and no ground lights to obscure the perfectly dark night sky.
The amazing solitude is extremely quiet and peaceful day or night. If you come to Ten Bits Ranch when the moon cycle is dark, after 20 minutes (for your eyes to adjust), the stars will appear to surround you like a blanket. Be sure to watch for shooting stars. There is a shooting star in view at Ten Bits Ranch almost every week. Ten Bits Ranch offers a truly private, unique, off grid, dark sky star gazing experience that few people have the opportunity to see in person. The craggy Chimney Rock Mountain blocks out a beautiful black jagged silhouette in the blanket of stars.
Well-behaved pets (and well-behaved people) are welcome at Ten Bits Ranch. Hike and explore at your leisure with both your 2 and 4 legged friends.
Thank you for considering Ten Bits Ranch for your Big Bend Adventure. Wherever you choose to stay, the Big Bend area is a wild, unique and a truly beautiful place that is well worth the trip.

I wasn't sure how comfortable I would be off grid despite all of the comforts of the cabins. The owners did a great job of preparing me and providing instructions. I was really grateful that there was a land line phone in the cantina, since there was no cell service. Also took advantage of their dining recommendations. The room AC was cool, the shower was hot. Would definitely stay there again.
Big Bend is out in the middle of nowhere and people that plan to go there need to realize that. That being said, Ten Bits was a great place to stay and offered all amenities necessary for short stays. The rooms are clean with Wi-Fi, clean bathrooms and amazing views! My only complaint Is that the beds are a little firmer than I would have liked. Other than that, a great place to stay.
Close to the Big Bend National Park and gorgeous view of the sunset. Roomy with two king beds. My only complaint was that the two mattresses were extra firm and I woke up with back pain.
The view was amazing. The room design of 2 king beds at 90 degrees made it great for privacy. Huge bathroom. The fire pit. Just a great property. Will book again our next time at Big Bend
Beautiful views of the mountains. The cabins were very clean we had a great time
First and foremost, you have yo understand that you are going to an OFF-GRID location. This isn’t a holiday inn or Cesars Palace. Everything about this place is amazing. It gives you a modern camping feel with a western style. You get to see the stars at night and amazing sunrises and sunsets. A/C works amazing and so does the WiFi. But if you go for a camping experience, you don’t really use either of those much. The ONLY thing I would add to this place is signs telling you set your GPS while on wifi, because as soon as you leave the property you lose signal for 30-45 mins in either direction.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We had cabin 7 and it was very clean. Ample supply of towels soaps etc. The view right outside your doorstep is breathtaking and we had our own campfire and chairs were provided. There’s also a trail right past the entrance of Ten Bits that’s awesome to drive down in your car. Would definitely recommend!
Ten Bits Ranch was a wonderful place to stay. Private, clean, awesome view from the cabin & close enough to Big Bend. My daughter & I had a wonderful time! We plan to go back with the whole family! ?
Love view, quiet and the night sky was amazing. Everything we needed was available. This is our second stay and will return.
The pictures of this place don’t do it justice. This facility and room were incredibly clean, updated, and had everything you could need. Incredible value for the quality and views!
The Ten Bits Ranch was a perfect spot for our family. It had everything we needed, the beds were comfortable. It was clean, quiet and remote. The shared kitchen and breakfast was a great perk.
Very nice private property. Beautiful night skies. They have really done a nice job to make this off the grid property. Cantina is very convenient and well stocked for continental breakfast. Had a problem with the heat pump the first night and Cowboy came over and corrected the problem. Very responsive. Really enjoyed our stay there. Would stay there again if come back to Terlingua
Definitely want to come back
Best place to stay while visiting Big Bend period!
We had a wonderful stay at the ranch! Such a unique experience. A well kept ranch. Highly recommend!
My Husband and I wanted a quiet place to use as a basecamp between Big Bend and Davis Mountains. The rooms and shared kitchen facilities were great! I was able to do some dark sky photography as well as exploring the other parts of the ranch.
I 100% would stay at this this place again. We stayed in #7 . The view sad to die for both day and night! The shared cantina was fantastic. Though it was shared we never really saw anyone.
Had a great time at the Ten Bits Ranch. Great views out the back porch, comfortable accommodations, nice to have the cantina for coffee/quick snacks, and enjoyed the fire pit one night. Good location to serve as a basecamp for exploring the area and park too. Highly recommend!
