I would recommend this property but if you're not an experienced motorcycle rider the .2 miles of gravel road might be a little too uncomfortable for some

This was my second time to stay at Rancho Mula Osa near Big Bend National Park. The place is spacious enough for 6 people and clean. The best parts are the outdoor spaces including the large back deck and hammocks for seeing the stars and the proximity to the park. I will consider it again when I am in Big Bend!

Hey guys! --we much enjoyed our stay at Rancho Mula Oso. I (Bob) especially liked the eclectic art and artifact display around the house. We also were pleased with wandering the grounds in the spring desert "flower garden" as the desert opened its blooms for us. Bob climbed the hill behind the house, even though unsure whose property it was. Overall, our experience was very fine indeed. Please see the following suggestions as improvements, not criticisms. (1) Even though we did not really need the “bunkhouse” since 2 of our group could not make the trip, the absence of directions to find the key was disconcerting. (2) We were a bit lucky to happen onto the correct 2 of 4 remotes to generate TV visuals from your video receiver. Some instruction hard copy on which remote to use and how to use would be helpful. (3) More generally, simple hard copy instructions on how to use appliances would help. For example, only after trial-and-error did we find the proper procedures for the stove top - it might be dangerous if others use improper procedures; another example is the land-line telephone which we did not even try to set up. (4) Garbage protocol -- we can only hope we did the correct thing by loading up the inside garbage containers. (5) Your alert on avoiding others' property does not work since we could not discern where Rancho Mula Oso's property began and ended. Even your entry to the driveway was not obvious, including one guide who has lived most of his lif

We had a wonderful stay at this property. It was clean, large, well furnished, well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds and awesome outside areas. The purpose of our trip was to visit Big Bend National Park and this home provided a great location for that. We loved coming home after a long day of hiking and relaxing at this nice property. We would stay here again for sure!

We had a wonderful visit to Terlingua. The house was perfect for our group of 8. My husband and I really enjoyed the trailer! The outdoor space is fantastic. The property is really beautiful. We were so sad when we had to leave.
