Room was clean. Parking was convenient. We loved this property. It was very peaceful. Great dark sky views. Onsite restaurant had great food and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. We would definitely stay here again.
I was presently surprised to learn the Heritage and History of the place and had no clue that famed racing driver Carrol Shelby and Dave Witts were the founders. Staff was awesome. There was a nice hiking trail right behind our cabin.
Would definitely recommend.
This is a property that is meant for like a weekend excursion of ATVs and horseback riding. It is located in a very remote area so if you want a wilderness area it’s great. If you are passing through for a nights stay I’d recommend looking somewhere else.
Clean, wonderful cabin. Good bed, good restroom, nice porch for star gazing. 4 deer walked up to the porch. Pool was a little too cool this time, but looked great. Ate at the restaurant and it was good. It is a long way down the road, but saw some wildlife and the directions are good.
Terlingua Ranch Lodge was very enjoyable experience. It was our family's first time out of Big Bend and its location and facilities just added to the experience.

The property was good no kitchen. Restaurant there . Staff was friendly. Too far far Big Bend park 35 miles.
No coffee pot or TV in the standard rooms but they do provide coffee in the office or at the restaurant. They also have great WiFi. The long dirt road can be challenging. And although it’s Terlingua address, it is a 30-45 drive into terlingua ghost town/Study Butte. So if you want seclusion it’s the place for you. If you want closeness to entertainment and options, stay in town.
A beautiful view of rustic surroundings from our room and good restaurant close by. The road to get there though was 13 miles of acceptable paved surface but the final 3.1 miles was very rough unpaved dirt.
Although this is a lodge by title and is a bit spacious, the amenities are few which don’t align with the definition. A coffee pot in the room would be nice, an option for daily room service, and a TV would make the property stand out. Not everyone is interested in a back woods experience. The staff was courteous, parking was never a concern, and the grounds were free from trash and debris. The pool area is exceptional as well as the picnic area and a restaurant on the property in this remote area made the stay a lot more comfortable. The view at the resort is breathtaking with the surrounding mountains.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Interesting place. The night sky was the highlight and nice restaurant with great staff. Shower curtain was a bit gross and the filter in the AC should have been changed.
The ranch is located in a scenic valley about 20 miles away from the highway. It consits of several distributed cabins, each of which hosts 4 rooms on the ground floor. Each room has a little patio, in front of which there is place to park the car. The rooms are clean and offer all necessary attributes except a TV. If you're hungry there is the "bad rabbit cafe" offering good food with excellent service.
