About this cabin rental
Big Bend National Park and Big Bend State Park area lodging with a unique West Texas old town experience.
Ten Bits Ranch has some of the most beautiful views in the Big Bend region of Texas.
The rugged off grid Ten Bits Ranch site was chosen for its breathtaking views of the dark sky stars, red craggy rocks and the beautiful sunrise and sunset over the surrounding mountains.
Guests of Ten Bits Ranch may hike and explore over 550 private acres of Ten Bits Ranch land at their leisure. Ten Bits Ranch is your own personal National Park without all the rules and restrictions of hiking the public land.
Guests may have a complimentary self-serve continental breakfast or prepare your own meal 24/7 in the full guest kitchen and dining area in the shared Cantina space.
Ten Bits Ranch is just (20) minutes from the Big Bend National Park entrance and (20) minutes from the historic Terlingua Ghost Town. Ten Bits Ranch is (20) minutes from local activities like the Big Bend rafting companies, Big Bend Stables horseback riding and the local bars & restaurants like the famous La Kiva Restaurant & Bar, Longdraw Pizza, Starlight Theatre, DB’s Rustic Iron BBQ, Chili Pepper Cafe and High Sierra Bar & Grill.
Ten Bits Ranch is (35) minutes from the Big Bend Ranch State Park and the beautiful Lajitas Golf Resort.

Experience REAL West Texas off grid living in the Big Bend region with your own off grid oasis and 550-acre private park.
Hike and explore right outside your room without the rules and limitations of the public parks. Hike with your pet, bring your ATV or motorcycle, build a fire, visit our shooting range, hike to the Apache Indian Cave or just have a drink, smoke a cigar or read a book on the porch or by the firepit and look at the beautiful mountains on the hotel property. Let the hundreds of acres and nearly complete freedom create a unique Big Bend experience.
Ten Bits Ranch has some of the best views of the famous Big Bend stars. Since Ten Bits Ranch is completely off grid and located on 550 private acres, there are no neighbors and no ground lights to obscure the perfectly dark night sky.
The amazing solitude is extremely quiet and peaceful day or night. If you come to Ten Bits Ranch when the moon cycle is dark, after 20 minutes (for your eyes to adjust), the stars will appear to surround you like a blanket. Be sure to watch for shooting stars. There is a shooting star in view at Ten Bits Ranch almost every week. Ten Bits Ranch offers a truly private, unique, off grid, dark sky star gazing experience that few people have the opportunity to see in person. The craggy Chimney Rock Mountain blocks out a beautiful black jagged silhouette in the blanket of stars.
Well-behaved pets (and well-behaved people) are welcome at Ten Bits Ranch. Hike and explore at your leisure with both your 2 and 4 legged friends.
Thank you for considering Ten Bits Ranch for your Big Bend Adventure. Wherever you choose to stay, the Big Bend area is a wild, unique and a truly beautiful place that is well worth the trip.

Great place to stay
10 / 10Outstanding·Jun 2026
We loved our little Gun Ship cabin. It was ready for us when we arrived, and even better than we expected. It's off-grid for electricity and water, but we didn't suffer. The A/C worked and plenty of bottled water was provided. There was a TV in the room, but we never turned it on. The kitchen was convenient and well stocked. I cooked twice. This little collection of cabins is in the desert, off the beaten path. Sitting out at night is amazingly quiet--no traffic, no hoard of noisy insects, not even a coyote. We live in the country, but not quiet country like this area. The night skies were amazing. Highly recommend this relaxing getaway! Our dog accompanied us, and we enjoyed walking on the property during the cooler parts of the day. The cabins are on a ridge that narrows and has a trail to the end with views of the mountains and surrounding gorge. It's a short drive to the southeast to visit Big Bend National Park and a short drive to the southwest to visit Big Bend State Park. We had a satisfying steak dinner for our anniversary at the Starlight Theater Restaurant and enjoyed browsing through the Trading Post next door to the restaurant. If you plan to float the river in a canoe or kayak, you may want to check the water levels first. I paid for a trip, but the water levels were very low, which meant carrying the kayak or canoe at least a dozen times. We decided it would be too hard on my husband's back. Wonderful, well-maintained property!

This place is absolutely beautiful! My SO and I absolutely love it here, we will be coming back! The place is peaceful, beautiful scenery and it’s pet friendly (we were able to bring our fur baby with us)! The host, Sis, was fantastic! They kept the kitchen communal area cleaned and stocked, they were very sweet and kept water stocked and available for all guests, and communication was great! I cannot recommend Ten Bits Ranch enough!! I’m already recommending this place to friends and acquaintances. Side note: Make sure to also read your emails after you book - they send you all the info. you need and more! (Which I also loved) They went above and beyond!

We absolutely loved our stay and will love to come back. We could not get over how well taken care of the property was. The stars were astounding and communication was efficient and effortless to check in. Even in a Prius the roads were not difficult to get down to the cabin in, so don’t worry and just pay attention if you have a lower sitting car. Make sure to download your map, you will absolutely not have service coming in.
