This charming retreat comfortably accommodates up to 4 guests. Conveniently located just 34 miles from Terlingua Ghost Town and 32 miles from an entrance to Big Bend National Park, Black Cat Ranch offers easy access to adventure, while maintaining the solitude and tranquility of a remote desert retreat. This eco-friendly cabin was designed with sustainability and comfort in mind. The cabin features a full bath with stand-up shower and all the essentials, a Sleep Number queen bed, and a pull-out couch to accommodate two additional guests. The kitchenette is well-equipped with a refrigerator/freezer, Keurig coffee maker, toaster, microwave, dishes, and utensils. Dishes are washed in the shed and the water used for a 30 gal. pond. Enjoy cooking on the two-burner gas cooktop or grill located on the porch. A propane firepit is provided for cozy evenings on the porch, and a traditional firepit is also available, though please note that wood fire use may be restricted during a county-wide burn ban. A mini-split wall unit offers both A/C and heat for year-round comfort. Stay connected with Starlink high-speed internet, ensuring you can work or stream during your stay. Relax in the cabin's living area, complete with a 40-inch Roku smart tv, soundbar and Dish TV for entertainment. The porch boasts stunning views of Big Bend National Park and Rosillo Peak, making it the perfect spot for unwinding. Water is sourced through a sustainable rain-water catchment system, filtered for your use, but it's recommended to bring your own drinking water. The moment you step onto the property, you'll be captivated by the sweeping desert landscapes and the fresh air. As a Dark Skies community, the night sky at Black Cat Ranch is a true spectacle. You'll witness the Milky Way and a blanket of stars like you've never seen before---perfect for stargazing enthusiasts. You'll also experience local wildlife right at your doorstep, with mule deer, javelina, coyotes, roadrunners, and even the occasional elk stopping by. Additionally, the area is a birdwatcher's paradise, as we feed various bird species that frequent the property. For an added touch of connivence, Terlingua Ranch Lodge is only 6 miles away, offering the Bad Rabbit Cafe for a casual meal and a pool (for a small fee) to cool off during warmer weather. The ranch is designed to make you feel at home in nature, with ample space to explore the surrounding desert and relax under the vast sky. With modern amenities paired with rustic charm, Black Cat Ranch provides the ultimate combination of comfort and adventure.
