We really enjoyed our week at this home. We thought it the perfect size for the two of us and loved the quiet and the sky at night. It was a bit of a drive to Big Bend National Park (at least an hour one way) but was worth it to stay in such a peaceful spot. The place was spotless when we arrived and the property managers were always prompt in replying and so helpful. We had a marvelous time!

Amazing view of Mountains.

The three days at this property definitely amounted to one of the most calming and fulfilling stays anywhere other than home. Just being able to see those stars so clearly took my breath away.

We stayed a week but regret not booking for two! The cabin has everything you’ll need. It’s well stocked, well appointed, and well maintained. Very clean and comfortable. We can’t say enough positive things about our stay. We explored and hiked both, Big Bend NP and Big Bend State Park and happily drove back to make dinner each night in the quality kitchen with the aid of a great Weber outdoor Grill. We were able to get a backcountry permit from the nearby Terlingua Ranch Lodge for a four hour Jeep drive to the top of Christmas Mountain. A bonus and something that can be arranged in advance of your stay if you come with a 4x4 vehicle. The stars were amazing, the beds comfortable, the deck and chairs perfect. And the 360 views are amazing. You feel safe but secluded knowing there are people around but not close enough to hear anyone. We absolutely recommend this cabin and we’ve stayed in many good ones around this great country of ours. Thank you to all those who keep the cabin so we’ll maintained.

I was looking for a comfortable place to stay, but found an awesome destination instead. The scenery and location of this home was equal to quality of the hiking and scenery we came to Big Bend to see. In fact we looked as forward to returning to the house each day as we did our day trip adventures. The house is setup perfectly and the porches and trails mean you can have a Big Bend day and never leave the property. Yes, it is off the beaten path and from what I saw of other rentals, that’s a huge bonus. Check in and out was super easy. Everything you need is there - we brought our own food and cooked every night. A far better option than the meager restaurant options in the region. I would happily stay here again. Thanks to the hosts for a thoughtful experience.

Really beyond words. Complete and utter solitude in the raw Big Bend region wilderness. Surrounded by Texas mountains in every direction and with a huge wrap around porch that gives perfect viewing angles of them all. The nearest neighbors are FAR away -- which is exactly what I was looking for. I was there for 3 nights, explored the open desert wilderness behind the property and didn't see a single person while I was there. There's a long, beautifully kept walking trail behind the cabin that takes you pretty far into desert as well. At the end of the trail there are a couple of chairs where you can sit and take in the surroundings. It was awe-inspiring. I took several trips to the end of the trail (including once at night) and would just sit there and try to take it in as much as I could. The cabin also provides a solid wifi connection so you can still remain in touch with the world while you're there. The cabin has a nice TV where you can stream Netflix/Hulu/Amazon/etc. in between hanging out on the porch and exploring. It's an absolute gem of a place. Like I said, very special. One of my favorite and memorable trips I've ever taken in my life. Being roughly a ten hour drive away, it's not an easy trip for me to make...but I absolute would love to come back here again one day. I miss it dearly already.

Nice cabin in a beautiful area!! Can’t beat the outdoors, giant porches & outdoor furniture! Very attentive managers!

We had amazing time at the cabin! It was well stocked. It had great 360 mountain views, and and cute little trail perfect for exploring and stargazing. Make sure you have a paper map or someone good with directions because there is no service and rocky. Also it is about 45 to the front of Big Bend National Park, but it’s a nice drive.

We enjoyed the peace and quiet. Decided to stay at the house one full day rather than going back to Big Bend N.P. for a second day. The only downside is that it is very hard to find. I know the owners do the best they can with directions, but the place is very remote, on gravel roads, and we missed some of the turns after the Terlingua Lodge. Hope there is a way to clarify the last couple of miles.

We loved the house and the location. We stayed during a new moon and the stars were awe inspiring. Took us about an hour and 10 minutes to get to the park entrance. A bit of a drive but totally worth it for the peace, quiet and seclusion. We had dinner at the lodge one night it was good. We enjoyed the grill and the adirondak chairs at the end of the trail in the back. We will be back!

The house was perfect! Clean with everything I needed for a quiet relaxing vacation. The property was great for walks and star gazing!

No problems in renting or finding online, enjoyed the place a great deal. I only wish we had realized how far it was from Big Bend when we rented it.

Beautiful cabin, gorgeous views! Everything was perfect! Very secluded which was what we wanted. Cabin was very well equipped with a full kitchen, a grill outside, and a huge wrap around covered porch complete with table and chairs and a couple of Adirondack chairs as well. I’ve been coming to Big Bend for several years and this by far has been the best property and experience we have ever had.

From the moment we checked in, everything was great. It genuinely smelled like Christmas when we walked in. We used the grill and wraparound porch every day. The wifi and air conditioning worked well. The kitchen had all of the pans, pots, and utensils you might need. They had plenty of towels, garbage bags, paper towels, and toilet paper. Sunrises and sunsets over the mountains were breathtaking. Make sure to check out the walking path in the back all the way to the end. It is about a 45 minute drive from the Terlingua ghost town area and about an hour and 15 minutes to the Chisos basin area in Big Bend. Make sure you fill up on gas on the way in, and plan to buy any food you want to prepare including any spices or condiments. There was some ground coffee, sugar, salt, and pepper, but not much else was stocked. Overall, we would love to stay here again!

The serenity and solitude are just whAt we need for a true getaway. Hiking the 2 parks during the day, fabulous back pro h dinners and the night sky like nowhere else. 2nd time there, and there will be more!

Loved this place. Wished I could have stayed the rest of my life. The location is amazing! Backs up to a mountain range. Mountains surround the property on all sides. Sunrises and sunsets are amazing! Has a lighted path to the top of the hill where you can sit in comfortable chairs and view the stars at night. The stars in this part of Texas look amazing! Very, very quiet and secluded. Love the wrap around porch with comfortable furniture for outdoor eating or watching the sunrises and sunsets. Completely stocked with everything you need. Immaculately clean. Communication with the property manager was great. I would suggest that you arrive before dark. Finding the house can be a challenge after the sun goes down. It gets so dark in this part of the world and GPS often doesn't work. Bottom line, I LOVED this place!!!

We needed a good way to check out without being so far removed from the comforts of home. This was perfect. No noise. No hustle and bustle. Great set up with all the necessities (full kitchen, cookware, bathroom, AC/heat, internet and tv). It was the perfect getaway. We cooked, ate and drank on the patio all weekend.

We really enjoyed our three nights at the Christmas Mountain Ranch. Every detail that could make a stay enjoyable was there. Kitchen has everything you could possibly need, indoor and outdoor games, an amazing deck, and a path through the dessert to the most wonderful spot to view the Milky Way.

Wonderful place to stay. So quiet. Beautiful sunrises from the porch. Great restaurant (Bad Rabbit) close by. Will most certainly stay here again.

Relatively close to the national park, tranquil. Directions given by the hosts are very clear. Wonderful property

We were looking for a base to shoot astrophotography and we got more than expected! Great location. Not too far from Big Bend NP or BBSP. Amazing dark skies and a photogenic property to use in Nightscape photography. Loved every minute. Clean and comfortable with everything on-site! Just bring your food.

Remote tranquility in comfort. The property has everything you need. We stayed for three days and didn’t see a single person which is exactly what we were looking for. We will absolutely be returning.

Beautiful ranch cabin. Well appointed. Great porch for sunrises and sunsets. Perfect location for stargazing and day trips to Big Bend.
