We loved the clean room and great communication from the hosts. We sat on the porch until well after sunset watching the bats as darkness covered Hen Egg Mountain. Our only negative was the loudness of the neighbors’ TV—this room is part of a duplex, and the walls seemed paper-thin. But it was a gorgeous property and prime location for an early entry to Big Bend.

Beautiful little cabin community out in what feels like the middle of no where west Texas. Absolutely stunning view of a mountain for sunset. Whole area well maintained. Cabins are great. Dirt road was muddy after the night of rain but wasn’t near as bad as I would of expected it to be (we were in a small 2 wheel drive ford ranger). Tons of land if you feel like exploring a little. It was awesome to see the Milky Way and the dark night sky! Would 10/10 recommended to anyone looking to stay in the area.

Our family of two adults and two teens stayed for two nights at the ranch. The ranch is so charming and the scenery and views are amazing. We loved watching the sunset from our cabin's front porch. The room was very comfortable. We were a bit surprised to find the tap water is non-potable though bottled water is provided. We hate using disposable water bottles so had we known in advance, we could have brought several large reusable jugs. Overall, we highly recommend Ten Bits for anyone visiting the Big Bend area and we hope to return someday.

This part of Texas has been special to me and my family for over 30 years. My youngest son (age 8) and my dad (age 78) had a great long weekend hiking in the park, 4 wheeling in the back country, swimming in the Rio Grand at the Hot Springs and sitting by the fire, counting stars and satellites and, of course, solving the world's problems while toasting our own brilliant insights. If that sounds fun to you and yours, there is no better place to make your base your trip.

We came to see Big Bend and I read reviews for so many lodging options. I saw the amazing reviews for Ten Bits, so I had high expectations. They were exceeded! The cabins are so unique but also super modern inside and clean. The property feels remote but is not far from town. It was so peaceful. And nothing beats the stars at night!! This was an excellent “home base” for our Big Bend trip. I would love to come back some day. Stop reading and book it!

Ten Bits is exactly like the listing showed. Quiet secluded! Great cantina to have self served breakfast and we cooked our dinner there too. Rain and clouds didn’t allow us night star gazing but our last morning I awoke early and was treated to a beautiful sky of stars. Believe the listing about the road!! We had rain and a very intense 2 mile drive back to the main highway. Thanks for a great few days away from everything!
5.0
Well worth the 2 miles of rocky road to get there! The views are awesome and the night is black making for a gorgeous sky full of stars. We stayed in The Bank and it was comfortable and clean. The common kitchen area was well stocked with coffee, cereal, milk, bagels, cream cheese, etc. More cabins are under construction. Each cabin has a porch with nice rockers to enjoy the view after spending our days in the parks. We will be back!

While we were only at Ten Bits Ranch for a night it was a perfect start to our trip. We happened to arrive at sunset and the whole ranch looked like it was straight out of a move set. The rooms were clean, beds were comfortable and there were plenty of towels. Great stay!

This property was better than imagined. The room was clean, the property was clean, the views were amazing. The complimentary self serve breakfast was a very nice perk that came with the stay. If you want to get away from it all I highly recommend this property.

This property is an experience that will last a lifetime. I’m so glad the owners had a vision to develop an off the grid TX town. I have stayed here twice and will be back in the future. This place is so quiet, with Hen Egg MTN off in a distance. Thank you for sharing the experience Sis and Cowboy!

We loved our stay at Ten Bits Ranch. Sitting under the night sky, picking out constellations without any intrusive city lights was good for the soul. Terlingua is just close enough to explore and grab a bite to eat. We definitely plan on staying here again.

First off, this is where I’m staying for all of my future Big Bend trips, period. The property is up on a spot perfectly nestled between stone spires with far off views of buttes and mesas from all of the porches. My GPS’s google maps directions matched the property owner’s directions perfectly from headed there from San Antonio. The accommodations are clean and extremely well kept. The property is absolutely adorable, a perfect little old western town with fire pits and little buildings to admire. The cantina had two large fridge-freezers for storage and there were small microwaves and fridges in the room. It was supplied with bagels and oatmeal and coffee and breakfast bars, condiments for cooking too. All of the appliances worked fine and theres a grill outside. The cantina does not have air conditioning which didn’t bother us but for those who would mind it you can eat in your air conditioned cabin instead. The beds were clean and soft, the water pressure and temperature held for us both every day. There are no bright lights onsite so as per the owner’s suggestion, we had flashlights to wander at night and admire the stars. The drive up does go through a winding unpaved road but it is very well kept and we had no problems with a 2WD truck getting on and off the property. The property owner sends a comprehensive packet of everything you need to know before you go! This was such an easy and relaxing trip for us. Cannot wait to go back.

Great place to stay!
We absolutely loved this place! It was about 20 minutes from Big Bend National Park which was perfect! The “cantina” was well stocked with any kitchen type things you’d need! The last bit of the drive to get there, you are on a pretty rough dirt road. Regular vehicles can make it, but be prepared for it to be bumpy. We loved how quiet and peaceful it was. I could have sat on the front porch, in those rocking chairs, looking at the views for days!

In theory, Ten Bits is a great idea but it was too remote and far removed from everything for us. The road getting to it is rock and gravel which is only suitable for off road vehicles or trucks. Also, it is not convenient to any facilities/activities such as restaurants or gas or groceries or Big Bend. Definitely a place that you need to take everything you want to eat, drink, etc. in with you as it is too far to return to Terlingua just for dinner, etc. It would have been nice if the Cantina had been air conditioned as it was too hot for dining of any kind. I will say that the stars were amazing and if someone is wanting an isolated, quiet and remote get-away, this just might be the place for them.

Spectacular
Exceeded our expectations by far! Loved being able to explore the gorgous property, 24 hr. access to the community eating area with snacks, drinks and breakfast items available, comfortable room with all the accessories you need ( including Wifi, Dish TV, microwave and small refrig). Safe and unique experience. Definitely will return!

Beautiful place to stargaze under dark Texas skies. The place is remote, so bring food and drinks so you can make your own food in the Cantina. Check in was easy and the place was clean. I would definitely stay here again

We had a great time staying in The Bank at Ten Bits Ranch. The pictures were accurate. I had worries that the "off-grid" nature of the arrangements would mean "no-grid" at least some of the time, but we never had an outage or any problem with power. The place was very clean and that's a hard thing to maintain in the desert with so much dust in the air. I thought sharing a kitchen would be weird too, but it was never crowded and I enjoyed chatting with the occasional person I saw there (usually getting coffee in the mornings). We were pleased with our stay and will stay there again when we go back to Big Bend.

If your looking for a peaceful stay which is "off the beaten path" then this is the place to go. It is quaint, not luxurious, but there is everything that you would need. The public cantina was a nice place to relax for breakfast, or whatever else you may what to eat. Sunrise & sunsets were beautiful. Star filled skies were also beautiful. It is DARK at night. A flashlight is strongly advised if you do venture out. The road/drive to Ten Bits Ranch is rugged but NOT horrible. Just take your time. Local dining options are not plentiful, so if you haver a chance to bring food, you may wanna consider that. You can prepare meals in the cantina.

Off the grid, in the desert, surrounded by mountains, with creature comforts, beautiful nights.... What else would anyone want? Beware of the county road...

We spent two nights in The Bank. It met and exceeded our expectations. Ten Bits Ranch is conveniently located to Big Bend Park. The Bank was clean and furnished with SW decor and furniture.. We sat out on the porch both nights and watched the brilliant stars. Other families enjoyed a fire in the fire pit. The communal breakfast was great. Access was simple and easy. Be prepared and aware of the two mile drive on the dirt road.to the Ranch. We had an SUV and it was fine.

My wife and I came out to Ten Bits to celebrate our 10 year anniversary. We stayed in the Bank. We were awestruck by the beauty of area and the character of the ranch.
This was our first trip to the Big Bend area and we will definitely be coming back with our kids. We are also looking into having my entire family come out with all of our kids to enjoy the area and see some of the prettiest stars I have ever seen.

My husband and I absolutely adored our stay at Ten Bits Ranch. We stayed at "the Bank". The room was clean and very cutely decorated. We also loved the community kitchen and cooked dinner both nights we were there. The views were absolutely spectacular. Our only regret is that we didn't stay longer! We will definitely be back.

Love the concept!
Amazing property! We absolutely loved the shared kitchen/dining hall concept! Having brought all of our food, and plenty of place to store it, we never had to eat out! We stayed at 'The Bank', a short walk over to get coffee in the morning. Gorgeous views, and convenient to Big Bend National Park, it's a great find! Thank you for a fabulous stay!
