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!

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!
