We stayed at Terlingua Ranch Lodge and while there were a few nice aspects, overall it wasn’t the right fit for our trip. The lodge is about 45 minutes from Terlingua proper, which makes it too far for convenient access to Big Bend or Alpine. From the main road, it’s a 16-mile drive that feels endless and rough—about 3 of those miles are gravel/dirt, and it was brutal on my poor RAV4. By the time we arrived, we were exhausted. Once there, be aware there is no cell service at all, and while WiFi is available, it doesn’t work at night in the lodges, so download everything you need ahead of time. The lodges sit on dirt roads that aren’t well maintained and can feel a bit sketchy driving in the dark. On the bright side, the saltwater pool is beautiful, though I wish it had been heated. The night sky views are absolutely stunning—you can see the Milky Way and thousands of stars. That alone made the darkness around the property feel magical (just bring a flashlight!). The rooms were clean but very small, and the beds, while comfortable, felt more like queen-sized cots. The blankets were thin and a little scratchy, so I’d suggest bringing your own pillows and extra blankets if you want to be cozy. Given how remote it is, it would have been nice to have a coffee maker, microwave, or at least free coffee in the office, as the mini fridge is tiny. We had booked three nights but ended up leaving after two—the thought of driving that 16-mile road again was enough to make my eye twit

We left early on a 5 day trip. Room very uncomfortable. Food terrible, everything way over salted to be unhealthy. Service at the restaurant non existent. Water quality extremely hard, no effort to soften it. Wi-Fi in cabins essentially non existent ( are they on dial up?). Hotels. Con refuse to rebate the prepaid funds even though we did stay 4 of the prepaid five nights. We tried to last all 5 days, but the food was like inedible, the service so bad, that we had to leave.

Very accommodating for our pet (there is a one time fee). Very quiet out there. About 3 miles on a dirt road though, it's not horrible but I wish it was all paved. Makes for a lot of dust. It is a way out there, about 45 minutes to Study Butte and Terlingua but a nice scenic drive and the roads out there are good. Our King room was clean and spacious with a coffee maker, mini-fridge, and microwave. Bed was comfortable, bathroom was roomy. Nice, large, shared front porch for sitting out and looking at stars and mountains. Unfortunately we were there close to full moon so star gazing wasn't extra special. Staff was very friendly. The restaurant was good. We would definitely stay there again.

Incredible staff, service and the restaurant, pool and small store were great. The room was clean and comfortable and had everything we needed but was nothing fancy. AC worked well and the mini fridge was nice. The surrounding is exactly like they say-well off the main road -but the place was beautiful and safe and we didn’t mind. We planned to eat at the restaurant one night but the food was so good, we ended up eating there twice!! We brought our own mini coffee pot and enjoyed coffee on the balcony every morning…and the starry skies at night. We went with our family who brought their RV and it was a perfect base for our 5-day visit to Big Bend.

My husband loves the quiet and remoteness- deer walk through the grounds. It's a dark sky spot so we watched the stars come out. The room was clean and the fridge has a tiny freezer so we could refreeze our blocks. Bring your own coffee pot though. The last few miles are washboard roads- so be prepared.

Rooms were nice, comfortable, and it was peaceful. Be aware there is no TV. We were the farthest away from the office and the WIFI was intermittent. It was good to get away from the world for a few days. Really enjoyed the accommodations, just wish WIFI was a little stronger

A long way down a very bumpy and dusty road.

Rather disappointed with the 5 miles of rough gravel road to the entrance of the property. The amount of money charged for the accommodation was not in line with the type of beds. Disappointed with no television. Our enjoyment was the clear skies the night we were there. We decided to leave because without staying another night because of the accommodations.
