Terlingua Ranch Lodge

Prime location when you visit big bend. Amazing sky view at night! The cabin had all we needed

Nice quiet and secluded

Die Lage in der Wüste ist schon was besonderes.

Es gibt nichts zu meckern

This place is located in the middle of nowhere (which is the point). Quiet, serene and beautiful views.

The only thing I would suggest for the rooms are microwaves.

Place was amazing. Just know what you’re getting into. First off know that you’re off the grid. And there is absolutely zero cell phone signal and while there are certain locations on the ranch that does have Wi-Fi my particular cabin did not. Secondly, you do have to go on a 3 mile dirt road after traveling approximately 13 to 15 miles off the beaten path. I particularly didn’t mind this. In fact this is exactly what I was looking for. I wanted a place to where I could shoot photography for the stars a place that was dark and so having an area that was off, the beaten path was exactly what I wanted. They had a restaurant there that had absolutely fantastic food. They also had a pool which I did not use. Apparently, according to what I read, you can fly into there if you should so shall choose. As there is an airfield. When you read about their history, you can take in the fact that they once partnered with the Shelby corporation to establish the Terilinga racing league. There’s a lot of history there. There’s also hiking which I did take part in do so at your own risk. Outside of the lodge, you’re about 20-40 minutes from Big Bend national Park. There’s also a big bend State park. Furthermore, there’s a Terilinga ghost town which has fantastic ice cream and a place called the starlight theater that had live music too! Overall, if you know what you’re getting into it’s a wonderful place to go and I quite literally enjoyed my stay there And I am eager to go and return.

We really enjoyed everything about our stay. The room was clean and had everything we needed. There is a pool in the property that is very clean and you cannot beat the views there. The cafe on sight was delicious as well.The only thing that we wished we would have known ahead of time is that you must drive down a very, very long dirt road to get there. It you want a quiet place in the desert, this is your place!

Once we got to our room it was lovely. I either didn't read all things well, or misunderstood that the lodge was 15 miles (last 3 unpaved) down a road. It was more remote than I thought, off the grid but with nice amenities once there. If you want to diconnect and relax, this is the place!

It’s peaceful and beautiful, but it’s quite a distance from Big Bend National Park, and there’s no grocery store or gas station nearby

I liked the quietness and solitude. Staff were excellent. The cafe offered very good food and service. Bo and wife Alex were a lot of help along with Patti in the office

The restaurant / cafe was a great place to eat. Staff really friendly. The view from our room was amazing

nothing to dislike about this place
