Ten Bits was the best place to stay while visiting Big Bend plus it is a great place itself as a place to explore and to enjoy the beautiful landscape and serene outdoors. We loved the hiking, star gazing, s’more making, everything-It was perfect. But listen to the owners when they warn you to stay off the roads if you don’t have AWD or 4x4. It gets bad when it rains. The set up like an old western town is so cute and it was just a joy to stay here!! The owners communicated with me very well!!

Such a wonderful place in the desert mountain. Not your average VRBO.

Just what we were looking for. Something very unique and off the grid. Highly recommend.

Wonderful, extremely private accommodations with breathtaking 360 degree views. Each casita is designed as a particular building from the Old West. We stayed in The Texas Hattery (#6). In the back was a firepit overlooking a canyon and a beautiful dome-shaped mountain. There is a cantina 50 yds away that has a full sized kitchen and tables with shared refrigerators and self-serve food items, coffee, juices, water, milk, etc. It appears some new casitas are being constructed - I hope management will be able to keep the private feel of the property. To get to Ten Bits Ranch, you'll take a 2 mile drive down an unpaved road, and over some good sized stones so I'd recommend an SUV for full enjoyment of the ride. One of our favorite places to stay in the Big Bend area.

We book the hattery on a whim while planning our trip to Big Bend and wished we had been able to stay longer. The village is soo cute and the landscape is amazing!! Being able to explore cliff dwellings is something we’ll never forget!! I have never seen soo many stars before! It had rained the day we arrived so the drive in was a little sketchy but no problems when we left. We will definitely visit again!

Had great views of Hen Egg Mtn, brilliant sunsets.

3rd year staying at Ten Bits. Can't beat the ease of check in and the location and views. Stayed in one of the new buildings the hattery. Fantastic room and great amenities. And the couch in there was very comfortable to sit after a long day in Big Bend. Cantina was great was nice to have a grilling area to cook some fat T-bones for Mother's day. I highly recommend Ten Bits and do to everyone i know that will be staying in the area. Will be coming back again.

The two mile drive down the unpaved road to Ten Bits is pretty rough to navigate. The scenery around the ranch is beautiful. We stayed in the Hattery and it was bigger than the pictures and very nice. The room was clean and they provide drinking water and a Keurig was in the room for coffee. If you drink a lot of coffee I would suggest bringing extra pods. Guests are provided a list of places to eat, but some of those places have closed. I also wish information had been provided on the logistics of how to get into the Starlite theater to eat. We found out you have to get there 45 minutes before it opens and wait in line. If you go after 5:30 you probably won’t get in. It was our anniversary and we were very disappointed at the limited choices to eat. The Barbecue place was packed and we couldn’t get in there either. If you bring food you can cook it in the kitchen at the ranch. But you have to take turns with other guests. Ten Bits is very close to one of the Big Bend entrances which was nice. Ten Bits is the nicest place to stay if you are planning a trip to Big Bend and reasonably priced.

Amazing guest ranch modeled after old west town. Darkest night sky I have ever seen. Milky Way was clearly visible. Sunrise/sunsets were all outstanding. The setting is amongst volcanic spires & sandstone cliffs with a view of Hen Egg Mountain. The amenities were better than expected for off grid guest rooms with plenty of toiletries & towels as well as bottled water. This was much better than our last stay in Chisos Basin years ago. Secluded, quiet & secure plus dog friendly. We did not make use of the Cantina but it looked well equipped for making great meals if you bring food. We brought our own breakfasts & ate picnic lunches in BBNP & dinners before returning in the evenings. It was so relaxing; I can't wait to go back.

Ten Bits Ranch is a charming and peaceful oasis. My room was spacious and thoughtfully appointed. Communications were clear and timely which made arrival and check-in/check-out a breeze. Wish I could have stayed another night but hope to be back someday!

Ten Bits was like a cute western town set in a beautiful mountain backdrop. The rooms were all a certain theme and they were very clean with comfortable beds. If you are into night photography- this place is excellent!! Such a beautiful foreground to add to Milky Way photos. My only complaint and it’s minimal is you can’t park by your cabin.

Great little spot outside Terlingua! The theming is fun and creative, the room was clean and spacious. 20 min from Starlight. Unfortunately, we were in and out really fast, but it will be the top of our list for our next trip to Big Bend!

It was super cute place to stay and we loved everybody of our stay! All the other guests were amazing as well

We arrived during sunset and were in awe at the stunning landscape and the most beautiful silence. The room itself was the largest we’ve stayed in with two king beds so we could both sleep soundly after a long day of hiking the south rim. We had all of the creature comforts we could’ve wanted plus plenty of potable water was provided. We used the well stocked kitchen to make oatmeal in the mornings and met our friendly neighbors. Ten bits is definitely the best accommodation in the area, especially for couples looking for some peace and quiet :)

Couldn’t have asked for a better stay; an exceptional and creative self-serve B&B “town” in beautiful canyons of Big Bend country. Clean, comfortable, never-ending scenery and star-filled night sky; plus it is so dog friendly! Highly recommend a multi-night stay to enjoy this venue.

The ranch at ten bits was really fun for my family. The views and privacy were incredible. We made dinner and breakfast in the cantina very easily. The ranch supplied plenty of drinking water for us which was much appreciated as the stores are pretty far away. There are a few quirks about the ranch however. The nite we were there it was very cold and the shower did not supply hot water. It was very cold outside and very warm inside so I cannot really complain. Also, the beds were not as comfortable as I’d have liked. Pillows and comforters could have been upgraded. Besides those two things the ranch was a great experience

Beautiful location. Great for stargazing. Comfortable room. If you don’t enjoy a firm mattress, bring a camp roll. Enjoyed it all greatly. The full kitchen common facilities was a real bonus!

Very relaxing week with beautiful views

Great experience at the XB Ranch! Beautiful night skies full of stars in a very comfortable and well thought out setting. The dirt road is well maintained and an easy drive. Loved being able to cook our own food at the cantina. Big Bend is just a bit further south, perfect day trip then come back and enjoy the night sky at XB. Bring firewood!

One of the best places we've stayed and one of the best experiences. Location wise, it's amazing for stargazing and to get away from everything and everyone. Highly recommend if you are looking to get away to a great and comfortable place.
