The lodge is very secluded in the middle of no where. 16 miles from main road to the property. WiFi is spotty. It’s the wild Wild West. Was shocked to see the property and the stretch of dirt gravel road to the property.

We loved our stay! The staff were friendly and helpful with any questions we had. We enjoyed eating at the Bad Rabbit Café on site, and even enjoyed a karaoke night at the basement entertainment center. The drive on Terilingua Ranch Road is lengthy, but definitely worth it!

The suite was nice and clean. The front desk receptionist was lovely. We loved the cafe! Staff was friendly, service was fast and the food was delish. The suite was a bit outdated, a lil run down. But clean! I hate that they advertised for WiFi when it didn’t work AT ALL. There is no tv, no room telephone to call in with concerns (cell phone service didn’t work), no microwave so we couldn’t heat leftovers or have any food in the suite. you have to drive 45 minutes (on an unpaved road) to this location from the main road, so keep that in mind.

I'd Stay There Again, but Bring My Coffee Maker!!

Everyone was super friendly and helpful. Loved how remote the place was. The only complaint I have is that I wish they had coffee makers in the rooms. I like to have coffee on the porch i. The morni gs, before having to face other humans for the day. 😂

Inconvenient. Way out of town. Far from the parks. Rough rocky road. If that's what you are looking for go for it. Rooms large enough. Nice climate control units. Decks with chairs and good sunset views. BUT rooms share thin walls with three other rooms. Made for noisy nights. Office woman seemed bothered by customers.

Booked here for the cost savings compared to Terlingua while visiting Big Bend NP. The lodge is a very, very long drive to remote location. Lady who works the office was efficient but not at all friendly. Your "cabin" is actually a quad plex, and you will hear talking from the other three rooms under the same roof sharing the same floor. If other guests are loud it will sound like they are in your room. We left a day early and ate the loss because we couldn't sleep for hearing conversations, toilets flushing, etc. People who run the on-site cafe were very nice and helpful.

Worth the drive!

No welcome email was sent prior to arrival so we were unaware that the main desk closed at 5pm. Further, phone calls to the front desk and the manager went unanswered so it appears that calls are not forwarded after hours. We arrived at 10 pm hoping someone would help us. Thankfully, there was a late check in system established. Room was great, food at the Angry Rabbit was great . . . Everything was perfect with the exception of the administrative part. Now that we know how the site works, I will gladly go back and would happily recommend it to friends and family.

I had assume this was located somewhere close to Turlinga. In fact it is the better part of an hour away so I did not bother. Driving there. Particularly after the gads station attendant noted that there was. At least a 3 mile gravel road that had to be driven on. The driving instructions leave a lot to be desired

Loved the lodge and the service. Very clean. However I wish that the last 3 miles of the road to the lodge was paved/graded. Bone jarring ride back and forth was the one thing I didn’t look forward to.

This property is 16 miles in, off of the main road, into the mountains. The last 3 miles are on an unpaved gravel road. There is no cell service out here. Drove in at night (didnt realise we were drivong theough mountains) and check in process was easy, envelope left with our keys at main office. Map of park is essential, still hard to figure out how to get around, but you get it after the first day. Youre cabin shares wall with others, 4 cabins to 1 building/structure so you will probably have very close neighbors. You are able to hear through the walls. Cabin was nice and rustic. Bathroom does not have any type of fan/moisture ventilation so mold is starting to accumulate above the shower/ceiling. Not pleasant to see. The bread and butter of this place is how dark the sky gets. There is virtually no light pollution, you can faintly see the milky way with the naked eye. We brought cameras and a star tracker and took without question the best best star/milky eay phitos we have wver taken.

We loved our cabin and the views of the dark night sky were incredible. The staff was very friendly and the food and service at Bad Rabbit Cafe was excellent. It was very convenient to have the Bad Rabbit Cafe as an option. The only downfall was the long 16 mile road(last 3 miles are dirt) to reach the property from the main road.

Great place for family

What a delightful place for my grandson and I to stay on our vacation across the great state of TX! Our lodge room was large and clean with a small fridge and our private bathroom. We were traveling in the middle of February and the overnight temp got down to mid 40s but we were perfectly comfortable inside. We put on our winter coats and sat on the lovely deck after dark watching the stars…so many! There’s a great welcome notebook with information about the ranch and the area. Dinner was at the Bad Rabbit, the little on-site restaurant. GREAT burgers and fries! Beautiful location nestled in the shadow of the….butte? Hill? Sorry we only had one night here, would highly recommend.
