The Ten Bits Ranch was so fun. Each of the places was named after a building in an old western town. It was very comfortable and plenty of space for all 4 of us. The location was beautiful and far enough out you could see a million stars. I would highly recommend it.

Everything was as advertised. The mile+ long driveway was in rough shape due to the heavy rain but the view was definitely worth it! The rooms, AC, and showers were a welcome relief after several days of camping. I'd definitely recommend this place and would stay again. Note: Don't rely on the continental breakfast. I understand the host is going above and beyond in this regard but we found it to be lacking. It would probably best to bring your own breakfast.

The rooms were very large and nice for the 4 of us. It was clean, could use some paint on walls. Breakfast was hardly continental even. The water was really hot and would not get cool which following a hot day at Big bend would have been nice. It was even a bit too hot for the toddler to shower. The beds were nice, firm and big, how i like them. I know some do like them much softer than i do tho. Overall pk. My main complaint was the road going into the ranch. We werent warned about it until after booking it. They said if it rains, it is frequently impassable and you would get stuck. We had a 4x4 truck and had no trouble going in, it was dry, but were bounced around doing well under 8mph at times. If I had a car, i wouldnt have been comfortable at all.driving it.

All in all it was a great get away for a few days! The Ranch itself is in a beautiful setting ~ loved sitting outside just enjoying the beautiful areas. Clean cabin beds a bit hard but ok… Only comment that I think is a negative is the fact that “Breakfast is included “. The only thing that was available were bagels and breakfast bars coffee and juice. Other than that we enjoyed the Ranch.

We stayed at Ten Bits Ranch with myself, my husband, dog and two kids (8 and 12), and we loved it! The property was as described, and more. The ranch was very conveniently located not too far from the town of Terlingua and Big Bend, yet felt so secluded, quiet and peaceful. The themed buildings gave a village vibe and the community kitchen area was well stocked with more than we expected and was centrally located. Our room was clean, furnished well, and the shower was super hot, which was great after a long day hiking. We loved sitting on the porch and looking at the starts and night and watching the sun rise in the mornings with nothing but the sounds of crickets. Wonderful location!
