It was a great family vacation. We had some minor things pop up during our stay ( hot water issues ) the property owner was upfront and communicated with us during the problem. In the end I would definitely stay here again.

Know what you’re booking; home is older, quirky, nothing really matches, furniture has a world traveler feel to it. Kitchen window is broken, tape mended together, left bedroom double vanity sink kept stopping up, lots of kitchen items, seems whatever previous renters leave behind does not get thrown out. Nothing felt clean, dishwasher is old; 2nd set of washer/dryer, one sets appears broken. It almost feels lived in vs a rental. Saddest part for me was seeing how the property has not been kept outside, I’m sure the grounds were beautiful in its heyday but everything is so dry & overgrown makes it look abandoned. We rented a minivan for space comfort, it dragged low on the dirt road / ranch entrance. Now the advantages, separate bedroom spacing made for downtime, our group of 8 (2 didn’t come) never felt on top of each other, plenty of space to move about, deck on second level was beautiful for stargazing, my father is heavily walker bound, there are steps everywhere… not easily accessible; would not rent again for above stated reasons.

Our stay was fantastic! The ranch is beautiful and close to Big Bend National and State Parks. The view from the ranch house is amazing and is a perfect location for a large family with those who like to explore, especially the little ones. Our host was very nice and responsive to all our needs. No complaints!

We can't say enough about our joyful, peaceful experience. This "Home-Away-From-Home", was a gift. We were able to experience Big Bend with a 1.25 hour drive several days -- Beautiful scenery going into the park and then enjoying the park for the day. And coming home to the ranch was the perfect way to end the day. We also were able to visit Ft. Davis and Marfa with the same experience. This beautiful ranch allowed us to see everything we wanted to see except MacDonald's Observatory and that was not because of location -- rather COVID restrictions. I highly recommend this place for family, for peace and relaxation -- and for a time to stop in time and "Just BE". Thank you Rennie !!!! We hope to meet you someday!
