PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING: LIMITED AIRCONDITIONING: \-Cooling is provided by an evaporative cooler OR two small window unit ACs. The air-conditioners are only intended for use during days with full sun, while the sun is high. They can be run at other times IF the gas-powered generator is also running. Guests expecting inside summertime temps in the low 70’s or wanting to run the AC constantly should consider a different property. We would be happy to recommend other lodging options. SOLAR-POWERED HOME: \-No electronic devices other than those provided or chargers for phones and consumer electronics. \-Absolutely no electric device with heating elements of any type. \-If you rely on medically necessary electronics, we would be happy to recommend a different property. This cozy one-bedroom vacation retreat located on 90 acres offers unparalleled 360 degree views, quiet, and comfort in a remote setting. No nearby lights to interrupt the starlit sky of the Big Bend. Sleeps two people in upstairs bedroom queen, plus a twin/daybed with a high-density foam mattress. The nearest house is a half mile away. You can go weeks without a passing car. House is light and modern, with bamboo floors, tile, and modern ceiling fans. The retreat is oriented so that at any time of the day, one of the two porches is in the shade. One is screened and the other open. This is a great vacation rental. An escape from everyday life with a beautiful view of Nine Point Mesa to the north, Jack Eden Mesa to the northeast and Corazones Peaks to the south. The property is true to its desert climate, with dozens of species of cacti, along with ocotillo, yucca, and many varieties of prickly pear, strawberry pitaya, and rainbow cactus in abundance. In addition, bluebonnets, the Texas state flower, and resurrection ferns are found on the 90 acres. The property provides ample opportunities for watching birds and wildlife. We see foxes and deer regularly, and at night frequently hear coyotes howling in the distance. To explore West Texas, the house is 30 miles from the Big Bend National Park gate; 23 miles to Study Butte/Terlingua ghost town and 35 miles to the famed Lajitas Resort. The house is located three-quarter mile along a dirt road from the main ranch paved road, and the dirt road takes you over a rise so that traffic on the paved road is not visible or audible. All vehicles can make the short trip (but as always in this part of the world, have a spare tire just in case). The property's solar and wind energy powers the lights, fans, appliances, and the radio/CD player, while propane gas powers the stove, wall heaters and hot water heater. The modern and eco-friendly separator toilet uses zero water. It separates liquid waste from solid and collects the solid wasted for composting. To back-up the solar and wind power, there is a very quiet gas-powered generator. This will recharge the batteries if needed and will power the window air conditioners in the hottest months. Thank you for understanding that there is a burn moratorium in Terlingua Ranch, and no campfires are allowed due to dry climate fire danger and fragility of desert vegetation. One note of caution: the stairs to the upstairs bedroom are steeper than normal and may not be the suitable for those who have difficulty managing stairs Interaction with Guests: We manage several properties and live a few miles away. We are available by phone, text, email, or messages through Airbnb. We are typically only on site for cleaning or maintenance issues. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Shower - Towels provided ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Garden ### Work spaces - Office ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Service animals only (pets not allowed) ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Location highlights - In a rural location - In the mountains ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![1 bedroom, WiFi, bed sheets](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33970000/33968800/33968786/e4e04893.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Ringtail Cabin: Economical & Solar Powered Cabin Terlingua - Kitchen - Outdoor space - Parking available - Mountain view 9.6 Exceptional 89 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-25&endDate=2025-11-26&selected=33968786&PinnedHotelID=33968786&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/41000000/40130000/40126800/40126785/f1d98ec5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### ALMA RANCH ~ ALMA 1~ Alpine - Kitchen - Air conditioning - Parking available - Barbecue grill 8.8 Excellent 28 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-25&endDate=2025-11-26&selected=40126785&PinnedHotelID=40126785&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/112000000/111460000/111453600/111453529/7c2ff4e3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Sunsets.

This is the place for anyone who truly wants to get "away from it all"! We had a fantastic time at The Terlingua Ranch and enjoyed every minute of our stay! I always look for places that meet our 3 "C" requirements: Clean, Comfortable and Cost. The Terlingua Ranch Retreat surpassed all of them! Words just can't do justice to the scenic views, piece and quiet that surounds the retreat. A big THANK YOU to the owners for sharing a little part of their heaven with us and the caretakers for ensuring that everything was perfect!! ##### Deborah M. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cath Jan 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Just Wow The total peace and QUIET, watching the sun dance across the desert and the mountains and mesas with ever undulating colors...just wow. That's just the daytime.How it comes alive at night with the coyotes and four legged creatures moving across the shale and making it clatter is nothing compared to being able to reach out and grab whichever star you like because they're all within reach. Retreat indeed. Wish I could've not left at all. Terrific remote spot with excellent hosts. The house had everything I needed and did not disappoint in my hopes and anticipation. ##### Cath Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2025 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Charles A. Apr 20, 2015 #### A very special retreat! We recently had 3 nights at the Terlingua Ranch Retreat and were so happy we chose this spot. The hosts have gone to great lengths to build a cabin respectful of environment and guests. The cabin was very clean and well organized. All the pre-read directions to reach the cabin and for the use of equipment were so helpful. The site for this cabin is great; those 360 degree views of the Big Bend area can't be beat! We made use of the grill every night, thus saving time in the kitchen and energy. We did bring our own bottled water, but didn't need to as plenty was available at the cabin. The outdoor shower was great and felt very private, with no neighbors closeby. Not having TV/DVD was fine by us. We enjoyed the chance to stargaze, read, listen to CDs or play a few games. Not to mention, that was did sleep well after days spent hiking Big Bend! Our only (slightly) negative comment would be to advise future guests to be aware that the stairs to the sleeping qtrs (for the larger bed; single bed in on main floor) is a bit awkard. The stairs are narrow and the landing at top is only about 2 feet deep. If one needs to go downstairs during the night, one should be very careful and go slowly with a flashlight. No prob for us, but can see potential danger if care isn't excercised. What a great experience this has been for us at TRR. We sure hope to come again! ##### Charles A. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Allee R. Apr 20, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing getaway! My partner and I really enjoyed this little house surrounded by the open, beautiful land of west Texas. We loved how quiet and private this was. The actual house itself was really nice and had everything you needed for a nice short stay. It was also not too far from the main area of Terlingua and Big Bend National Park. We will definitely be coming back! ##### Allee R. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Steve S.

So very peaceful and beautiful Southwest scenery. We saw coyotes, deer, kangaroo rats, scaled quail, rock wrens, cactus wrens, black throated sparrows, and curve-billed thrashers. The house was very clean and comfortable. We had a great 10 day stay and would definitely come back to this place if we are ever in this area again. Thank you to our hosts for sharing such a great place and being quick to respond to questions/needs we had. ##### Steve S. Stayed 9 nights in Mar 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Lisa L.

Feb 21, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### First Visit to Big Bend We highly recommend staying at this property! We fell in love with the serenity the retreat offers and would gladly return. The drive to Big Bend is around 40 minutes making this location a good spot for travelers to the park. The retreat is fully equipped and we recommend a stop to Alpine for supplies before arriving. Much of what is offered by the owners prior to arrival helps in the planning process. The retreat is off-grid so be prepared to consider conserving resources. The stairs are steep for those who might want to sleep in the main level as a twin bed is provided. The evenings are cool and opening windows gives you a refreshing cross breeze. The absolute best selling point are the views! Cannot be stated strongly enough, absolutely stunning and beautiful! The position of the 2 porches is perfect for viewing and photos. We also suggest arriving before dark on the first night to aide in location. Thank you to our host for sharing a beautiful memory!

Did not need to test cooling system except for few hours one day due to timely northers and nearby thunderstorms each PM. Plenty of space for walks around desert in cool mornings. Quail and other birds were plentiful, as were cactus blooms. Shower and toilet sure beat camping, but took some getting used to. Our 2 mutts got to run aound and quickly learned to avoid cactus. ##### Harry W. Stayed 8 nights in Apr 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### David Z.

Listing is super accurate in setting expectations on what an off-grid stay entails, specifically for this property, so read carefully to make sure it's for you. Very clean and super happy with how truly remote it was. Un-obscured gorgeous views of the hills and desert. Not at all the fault of the property but we did have a blow-out on the unpaved road, so just word of caution to make sure you have a spare on hand for emergencies if you're arriving on street tires.

Apr 10, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Secluded desert vacation house We had a great time at this cozy, secluded cabin. Although less than a mile from a paved road, it seems to have been dropped in the middle of a desert wilderness. We were struck by the absolute silence outside during the day, and by the clarity of the night sky. Both porches provide views of the ruggedly beautiful landscape and directly face the rising and setting sun. The kitchen includes a good-sized refrigerator and 4-burner gas oven, so eating all our meals in was no problem. We had no trouble getting hot water from either the indoor or outdoor showers. The compact yet comfortable living area downstairs includes a single bed, desk, bookcase, and couch. Upstairs, a skylight allows star-gazing while lying in the queen-sized bed. Both Big Bend State Ranch Park and Big Bend National Park entrances are about a 40 minute drive. ##### Alec F. Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Fay G.

The star viewing at night was incredible!!! In all my years of traveling I have never seen so many stars in the night sky. The house was the perfect place to unwind and hike in the desert. Big Bend state and national parks are nearby and Terlingua Ghost town was a fun visit. But the best part was the remoteness of the house and how cozy it was for us. Our dog Nikola loved running up and down the hills as we hiked around. Thank you for sharing this wonderful off the grid house with us!!! ##### Fay G.

Jan 18, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### comfy and cozy This is my 6th visit to BB over MLK weekend. We opted to stay a little further from the park for the seclusion and uninterrupted views that this place offers. The two porches were perfect for catching the gorgeous sunrises and sunsets. Being able to bring my dog and share this magical place with her was the icing on the cake. The cabin had everything we needed for a comfortable weekend getaway! ##### Kayla S.

Close enough for convenience and for enough to be alone and experience peace and quiet. Great sky for star gazing. ##### David S.
