Beautiful scenery during the day and even more to see at night when you look up at the starry night sky. Enjoy a refreshing dip in our outdoor pool or just have some quiet time in our courtyard reading your favorite novel.

Two nights at Longhorn Ranch
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.

Unplugged Family Vacation
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.

Big Bend NP Just Around The Corner
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
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!!

Big Bend Spring Break
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.

Big Bend 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.

Great location
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.
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.

Quiet remote ranch motel
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.
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.

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.

A Simple but we’ll kept place
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.
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.

Only problem power went out our last night at 0115
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.
