Om overnatningsstedet

Spektakulær udsigt over bjergene.


............ Spektakulær udsigt over bjergene og de store solnedgange Tarantula Ranch ligger over en bakke omkring to miles fra den nærmeste brolagt vej. Oplev livet i slutningen af vejen inde i en 320 acre sammensætning. Tarantula Ranch skærper dine scener, dyrelivet, udsigten, lugterne, fred og ro og selvfølgelig stjernene. BIG BEND har nogle af de mørkeste himmel i verden. I de varme måneder er det dejligt at sidde på verandaen og have kaffe med Billy og Maggie to venlige burros, der kan lide at interagere med vores gæster, selvom du muligvis skal dele (de er verdens største tiggere). Tarantula Ranch har to hytter. Den fire værelses kabine kan sove seks, og den ene værelse kabinen sover to (selvom jeg havde en familie på to voksne og tre børn bo der en gang i en uge). Begge hytter har ægte "på nettet elektricitet", varme brusere, toilet, septiktanke, der fungerer, køkkener indrettet med komfur, køleskab, kogeplader, konvektionsovn, kaffemaskine, mikroovn osv. Alle sengetøj og håndklæder er møbleret. Vi har også wifi og direkte satellit-tv med hbo og showtime, propangasvarmere til vinteren og kølet aircondition til sommeren. Vi er cirka ti minutter fra en af de smukkeste svømmebassiner i Brewster amt, Texas. Med begge hytter kan vi sove et parti på otte (selvom jeg har haft ti der et par gange, men nogen bliver nødt til at sove på en opblæsningsmadras eller sovepose på gulvet.) Hvis du kun er en person, der rejser alene eller et par, og den store kabine lejes af en anden, kan du leje den fritliggende hytte som en separat fest. Den fritliggende kabine har en queensize seng, køkken, indendørs bruser og toilet og satellit-tv. Du bliver nødt til at kontakte mig vedrørende tilgængeligheden af den fritliggende kabine. Ud over ejendom her på forbindelsen Tarantula Ranch llc har også andre ejendomme i området. Den ene er især i en lavere højde (varmere) for vores vintertid sunworshipers. Det er almindeligt at have 75 til 80 graders dage der om vinteren. Denne egenskab har også piktogrammer både indisk og spansk. Jeg har en jeep og en 4-hjulet forstæder, som jeg kan tage folk på en tur til mine forskellige egenskaber for at se, hvordan folk har boet i Big Bend fra 8000 år til nutiden med en smule geologi kastet ind. Du kan tilmelde dig det, når du foretager reservationer. Hvis du er en golfspiller, som medlem af The Lajatas Country Club, kan jeg spare dig 20% på dit greenfee. I slutningen af en dag med leg i den store sving er det dejligt at sparke tilbage med en drink i vores varme karbad, der sidder på en klippe mod vest, lytter til coyoter og leder efter stjerneskud. Vi har også et observationsdæk, der hænger ud over den samme vestlige klippe, som boblebadet er på. Den store sving har nogle af de mørkeste himmel i verden. Her på Tarantula Ranch er du et let kørsel (efter vestlige Texas standarder) til alle turistattraktioner i området, nationalparken, statsparken, flodoverflodudstyr, ridning, jeep-ture og Terlingua ghosttown hvor god mad, god drikkevarer, god musik og gode tider er i live og godt.

Nøgleord: fjern, spektakulær udsigt, venlige burros og hest vil interagere med dig, store åbne rum, store solopgange og solnedgange. Eftersom vi har ægte elektricitet, kan vi også tilbyde alle de elektriske apparater, du har brug for, for at gøre dit ophold behageligt, kølet aircondition, køkkenmaskiner, satellit telivision. Du behøver IKKE at gå hen over en parkeringsplads eller køre miles for at bruge toilettet og bruser. Vi har indendørs VVS !!!~ Vi har heller ingen trafik, da vi er mere end to miles væk fra den nærmeste asfalterede vej OG inde i en forbindelse. Åh, og du behøver ikke at sove på jorden i et telt (medmindre du vil).

We absolutely loved our stay here. The views were incredible, and it was so peaceful and quiet. Some of our favorite moments were watching the sunrise and sunset, relaxing in the hot tub, exploring the property, and spotting all kinds of wildlife.The location was perfect for our Big Bend adventure, only about 50 minutes from the park. After long days of hiking, the nearby pool was a great place to cool off and relax, and having laundry facilities available there was an added bonus.This was the perfect place to come back to after a day of exploring. We made some great memories here and would definitely stay again.

Very rustic cabin. Plenty of room for 4 to sleep. Just annoying having to bring your own sheets and blankets/towels but I get it. Roads are very bumpy and I recommend a truck because we had to use 4 wheel drive. We enjoyed our time. Host very friendly! So was Donkey!

Actually, this cabin sleeps 6 people. Regarding the roads in all of The Big Bend: We only have six paved roads in all of The Big Bend and three of those six roads are less than 27 miles long. One is ten miles long; one is 13 miles and the paved road that is The Ross Maxwell scenic drive is only 26 miles long. I told you that when you called for directions as I have all of my guests for the last 15 years when they call for directions. I may not have mentioned that I own seven vehicles, none of which is from the 21st century and three of those seven are not 4x4. One is a 1990 Cadillac Allante sports car, convertible, BRITE RED!!!! and it makes it just fine on these back country roads. Also, in my last fifteen years in this business I started keeping track of less than adequate vehicles after I realized 2% of the tourist were going to complain about the roads. I have had 24 Toyota prius electric cars here. They all made it here and were able to leave on check out day. I'm glad you enjoyed your time here as well as Maggie and myself. See you next time.

We will be back. It was the most relaxing with the Family, from the morning hikes, the beautiful lunch picnics, late afternoon shooting practice, to the sunsets in the hot tub and the milky way views at night. Everyhing was amazing. The kids even made friends with the assistant manager, Maggie the Donkey. Great memories. We are looking forward to our next stay.

Fantastic place if you want to get of the grid and see the most beautiful sunrises and sunsets. Amazing property with a little cabin. Remember to lock the doors or Maggie will take it as an invite to enter. Good idea to dowload an offline map as there is no signal in the area.

Our stay was wonderful. Curt was very knowledgeable about the area & helpful with tips and tricks for packing & directions! The property is beautiful, my husband and I walked a road up a ridge line. It was gorgeous. The cabin is rustic & perfect for those looking for a comfy cozy place to stay after a day of adventuring in Big Bend National Park. Can not recommend Tarantula Ranch enough. It will always have a special place in our hearts!

A great escape

We stayed at Tarantula Ranch for an impromptu big bend adventure and we could not have been more pleased! Spectacular views, the darkest skies around, and all the comforts I was looking for in a big bend cabin stay. The location is close to Terlingua and Big Bend, but still offers the remote experience I was looking for. The owner, Curt, and his burro Maggie are the cherry on top of our amazing stay. I’m already planning my next trip! 10/10, highly recommend!.

If this person knew anything about reading comprehension, they would know what we describe on our web site is correct. We have two cabins, one sleeps 6 people, the other sleeps two. Two different parties can rent them separately or a group of 8 can rent both. That would give the party of 8 two bathrooms, four beds, (not three as he miscounted), (looks like he has a deficiency in arithmetic as well) two tv's, two indoor cooking spaces, just to name a few. We clean our cabins with a product that hospitals use called Medi-clean. It kills all germs including covid-19. Also, I would like to point out that The Big Bend is part of The Chihuahuan Desert Wilderness back country, so sand is just a part of life here. Having said that, the cabin was clean when they checked in and it was disgusting when I went into clean after they left. There was feces smeared on the toilet, toothpaste spit on the bathroom sinks, some sauce or gravy spilled on the stove and in the refrigerator and some form of rotten vegetable in the kitchen sink. Pictures: I do have two inexpensive pictures in one of the bedrooms, but I have very expensive hand Vovan wall hangings on the walls and handmade appliques from Peru worth over a thousand dollars total. In my opinion his idea of classy art must be a picture of Elvis painted on black velvet bought on Juares avenue in Juares, Mexico. In conclusion, as a retired coach/educator of 43 years I would be interested in what school district he attended. They're glaring deficiencies in reading comprehension, arithmetic, art appreciation and health. (surely you must know that feces stuck to the outside of the toilet can't be healthy). Courses in night school might help.

Need better description for potential guests

The description should say that your vehicle must have high clearance and be good for off-roading due to the private property road to get to the rental cabin is mostly large broken rocks and occasional boulder surfaces. Should also mention property has livestock that live at cabin rental site.

I did not mention that you must have high clearance in my property description and be good at off-roading because you don't need those things to get here. One of my former guests who loves it here has read reviews similar to this one and it makes his blood boil when they lie and embellish. He stated this in his first review. Re: The road, "anyone who has been driving for more than a day, the road should not be an issue." These things need to be pointed out. These individuals booked for six nights and seven days. If the road is described correctly by these guests, it poses these questions. How did they get here to check-in in the first place? How did they drive in and out for a week and then be able to check- out and get home to write this review? As I have said before, I am a retired high coach of 43 years in Texas and have had a lot of experience with immature people who are lying. I take this stuff seriously and I will find the truth. I have been in this business over ten and one-half years, as of last April I had the 23rd Prius electric car come down that road and I have never had anyone get stuck or break down. I own seven vehicles; none are from the 21st century. Three of them are Not 4x4. One is a 1950 Chevrolet sedan, the second one is a vintage 1990 Cadillac Allante sports car convertible, two - seater, BRITE RED!!! They make it just fine down my road. Now in the interest of full disclosure, the roads in the Big Bend are not smooth paved roads like the Santa Monica Freeway. They are Chihuhuan Desert Wilderness Back Country Roads and there are 1,200 miles of them and only three paved roads of any importance here in The Big Bend. Also, sometimes bad weather will have a negative effect on the roads but that's why you have me a long time local to advise you of road conditions. Regarding "should mention livestock", I have a rescue burro (donkey) and a rescue horse. Maggie the burro is mentioned twice. If fact she is the one that I advertise will interact with you. I mention the horse only once. She was abused in Mexico and just wants to stay away from humans like the folks who wrote this review. Yesterday I had three lovely young women check in driving some foreign car. They had read this review and informed me that thought my road was great and they were going to write a positive review about the road. You just have to drive slowly, if an animal has knocked a football size rock in the road just drive around it OR even better stop get out and move it.

The property is on a beautiful spot. Very hard to get to from the main road. Look out for Curt’s (owner) burro. He will damage your car and walk into your place. Good bed but the futons are very old and not very comfortable to sleep on. Good Wi-Fi and nice owner.

Let's start with the road. As one of my repeat guests stated in one of her reviews after reading negative reviews about the road and getting tired of poor drivers complaining about the roads in The Big Bend of Texas, she said " anyone that has been driving for more than a day, the road should not be an issue". I have been in this business for over eleven and one-half years. I have had 24 Prius electric cars come here so far and one electric minivan with seven people. I own seven vehicles; one is a 1950 Chevrolet two door coupe and the other is a vintage 1990 Cadillac Allante convertible sports car (BRITE RED) and they make it on our roads just fine. Just a heads up, there are only three paved roads in all of the Big Bend of any importance, and they can be 40 to 80 miles away from each other. Those three roads are US 385, Texas State Hwy 118 and Ranch Road 170. There are three other shorter roads. One is The Terlingua Ranch Road, it is 13 miles of pavement. Then there are two more paved roads in the Big Bend National Park, one is 26 miles of Ross Maxwell scenic drive pavement and the last one is 10 miles of pavement that takes you up to The Chisos Mountain Basin (the high country). AND THAT IS ALL THE PAVEMENT WE HAVE HERE! So, guess what kind of roads are between the paved roads? One Thousand and two -hundred miles of "back country roads" Face it, some people should have never been given a driver's license much less consider coming to the Chihuahuan Desert Wilderness Back Country. MY BURRO: HER name is Maggie and I love HER and so do all of my "normal" guests. SHE, like all of my animals here is a rescue. SHE has never damaged anyone's car in eleven- and one-half years in business. She does know how to open car doors and steal your "goodies" and she likes to walk inside the big cabin and have her picture taken with the guest. I've taken hundreds of "Maggie/guests" Christmas card photos inside the big cabin over the years. You won't see that at the Hyatt Regency!! After the photo -op and the guest unpack their car, I have the guests park their car in the corral (about a 30 second walk away so wildlife won't damage your vehicle and Maggie won't open your doors, hot wire your car and take it on a "joy Ride". lol Maggie has always been a big hit with everyone. Tarantula Ranch offers a unique experience for urban dwellers to experience wildlife up close and personnel and a friendly burro (donkey) who likes to visit people in their ecosystem. If you think you may have any DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) similar to the author of this review, please don't come to THE BIG BEND. If WIFI is the high point of your day you have missed the adventure that is THE BIG BEND!

Friendly host and in the middle of nowhere. Bring your own supplies.

There were not many pictures of the inside of home and I was unaware that bedding and toilet paper were not supplied by host until we talked with owner. I may have missed those instructions on the listing. We ended up finding out just in time to make a stop at Fort Stockton and buying sleeping bags and supplies. Host was very friendly and helpful with lots of info about the area. Their pet donkey Maggie was a hit with our teen kids! The home was down a rough rock road and would be difficult for a small or low vehicle. Great views and serene area to visit.

I have friends who rent to tourist also and although we are competitors, one of the things we all agree on is a 4- star review is no better than a 1- star. We all work very hard to have nice, safe and clean accommodations for people who travel long distances to experience an "out back" wilderness area called The Chihuahuan Desert Back Country Wilderness and The Big Bend National Park. And of course, the roads are going to be rough in this ecosystem but not impassable. In 19 and 1/2 years I have had 24 Prius electric cars come here.This is not Trump Tower you are coming to. I think we do a pretty good job considering the remoteness. So, what does this person do? They complain about pictures of the inside. The inside of the cabin, which you said was cute, is like any other cabin. So that makes me wonder about the importance of inside photos since more than 99% of my guests come to experience what is OUTSIDE of the cabin. (That would be The Big Bend National Park.) You obviously never read my web site, or you would have known about bringing your own linens because of covid-19. You booked on Feb.26 2025. I sent you an email at that time to call me for directions. You finally called me from the road at 9:45 am on Ap.18,2025, YOUR CHECK IN DAY. I had made several phone calls to your voice mail saying to call me for directions and a list of things to bring. You did not prepare for this trip!! You also broke a chair, a knob to the gas stove and the tv remote.

Home Away From Home

Our daughter and her husband as well as my husband spent four nights in this quaint cottage with all the comforts of home. Curt was very engaging and kept us updated on things in the area. Due to the lack of light pollution, we had of the stars at night we were fortunate to witness the meteor shower. Our purpose for staying in the area was to visit Big Bend National Park which we did every day. And Curt also gave us our own private tour including petroglyphs. What an adventure with comforts of home. A must stay place.

Perfect for That Famous Night Sky

The night sky from here is amazing! I mean, it's great everywhere out here, but we have stayed in a lot of places out here and this is at the top of our list. As advertised, you do need to bring your own pillows and linens, but we do that anyway so it wasn't a big deal. Essentially, plan on camping with a bed and a shower. The place was great, and Curt was very helpful. His knowledge of the area will really help you maximize your visit. Also, Maggie is super friendly! We had a great time and will definitely be back to stay again!

The location was awesome! No one around us, but the property owner. You need to bring plates, silverware, seasonings and everything you plan on cooking with. He had a few pans and coffee mugs. There was a field mouse in the house. But that was to be expected, considering the age and location of the house. The kids had fun and that all that mattered. We would stay there again.

View is spectacular, especially on a clear night. 2 mile dirt road is very bumpy. Burros are cute but can be annoying. House is functional but not especially comfortable. If you want isolation, this is your spot. Don’t expect convenience

I've noticed when my fellow competitors write a rebuttal to a negative review they generally start out by saying "thank you for letting me know" and /or "i am so sorry" etc.etc.I would do that also if i had wronged someone but so far after almost eight years in this business i can't remember that happening.(yet). The road is bumpy... BOO-HOO!! This traveler needs to be given some "bubble wrap"before coming to the Big Bend. I tell all of my guests that this is a Chihuhuan desert wilderness area. (it's on my web site) whether its my property or some of my friends/neighbors property who are competitors that rent their cabins to make a living.While we are on the subject of roads, i have been over this before I have written rebuttals on this subject before.... There are only 6 paved roads in the Big Bend.Three of those six roads are less than 30 miles in length. The rest of the roads are dirt roads, so brace yourself and don't come if you are going to whine.A few years ago a large ranch down here advertised "come to the Big Bend and drive 1100 miles of back country roads".You need to go to the Hyatt Regency in downtown Chicago on the corner of Wacker street and Michigan ave. if you want smooth roads. The cabins are rustic. having said that they all have real electricity,hot and cold running water, a/c and heat wi/fi, direct satellite tv with movie channals, a full functioning kitchen just to name a few, so i don't know what more to offer. Now regarding the burros... if you read the review just before this very negative review, you will notice they mentioned the burros were the highlight of their stay as do most of my guest. I'm really surprised this person wrote a review and how he would know anything about the burros or the cabin as they were only here about 8 hours. They checked in about 10pm went to bed and were gone by 8am.

Difficult

The views were spectacular but the check-in process was not smooth. Difficult to communicate directly with the owner with my busy schedule before leaving for our trip. Also, bringing our own linens and dishware required an extra suitcase that we had to pay for with our flight. The equipment in the kitchen didn't work. Long dirt road. You had to navigate to get to property and your car was parked behind a gate that you had to walk to

DIFFICULT: THAT'S THE UNDERSTATEMENT!!! But not on my part. She starts by saying that the Arrival date: was Sun. Mar 23. She checked in on the 24th. It seems she doesn't own a clock or calendar. She didn't even know her check in date, yet she expects my fellow Americans to believe this drivel. The first time I tried to give her directions she seemed upset, so I said, "I'm going to let you go and compose yourself. Call me tonight so we can finish this". She didn't call. She had two months, (60 days) to call me for directions. You would think she could have found fifteen minutes in 60 days to call me for directions. When a guest books, I immediately send them an e mail saying, "call me for directions." I told her she didn't have to bring dishes as she could just buy paper plates after they landed. The linens are because of covid, to keep guests healthy. Lest we forget, our ancestors brought all of their belongings in an animal drawn wagon, Not on an air-conditioned jet with movies and Margaritas. Parking, navigating, long road: I have people park in the corral to keep their car safe, OH! and the walk to your car is only 30 seconds. Navigating: I don't know how that applies to anything. Your pilot had to navigate to get you to Texas. Long road: The road is 2 miles long; all ranches have long rough roads. Equipment in kitchen. She just lied about that. Everything in the kitchen works. And finally, no period at the end of your review.

Practically Perfect in Every Way

I should have booked us for 2+ nights! 1 night, 1 sunset and 1 sunrise was simply NOT enough at this property. Aside from the cottage being absolutely cute beyond expectation, the V I E W S were to die for. Stay up on the front porch to watch the sunset before heading into town to visit the starlight theater. It is worth every minute! And when you’re ready with coffee in hand, enjoy the sunrise in the hot tub. We faced away from the sunrise to see the hues on the mountains ahead of us change from a brown to deep orange to yellow and eventually Moises our way back down to the cabin. Your host will be more than accommodating and provide more than enough comedic relief to make you feel right at home. We’ll be returning, without a shadow of a doubt!

Beautiful but short of perfect

First, the host was as nice and accommodating as one could hope for. The views are breathtaking. Unfortunately, the entire area experienced a blackout during a storm so our stay had zero electricity and no water to shower from the desert heat the next morning. Not the host fault but extremely uncomfortable stay. With the storm also came no view of the stars, and an uncomfortable drive up hill to the house. The donkey was too funny and brought warm welcomed smiles as our night needed them. Very clean.

Finally, after almost eleven years in this business with vrbo I got a one star review that was accurate and not a lie. The Chihuhuan Desert Wilderness can be inconvenient and unforgiving at times. Regarding unforgiving: The only problem I think Raul will have is if God reads this and thinks he only got one star for his storm.

Beatiful views

Curt was an exceptional host and very friendly. He knew all about the area, gave us expert directions, and lots of tips. He even let us check in early. The scenic views are like no other if you're willing to go way off the beaten path and get out of your comfort zone. He even has a hot tub up the hill at his property which we enjoyed and a sweet donkey named Maggie. My only complaint were the bugs. The walls dont seem to be sealed good so we had many spiders, scorpions, ants, and other friends join us during our visit which totally freaked my daughters out!! Also, don't forget your sheets, paper towels, and toilet paper because none of that is included.

When you consider visiting an area it pays to do a little research on what type of an eco-system you will be visiting. Did you think you were coming to Disney World, where all animals are robots? The Big Bend is a back country Wilderness area so yes, there are ants, scorpions, spiders along with mountain lions and rattle snakes, rough roads and blowing sand. One of my fields is biology/ecology so maybe I'm not quite as much of a "wimp" as most people when it comes to wildlife. That spider you saw is protected. It is no danger to humans but feeds on the brown recluse spider which will harm you. Ants: I spray for ants between guests and when I cleaned your cabin that morning so you could arrive early there were no ants present then or when you arrived. There is a sign inside the door to that cabin saying, "please do not leave food out because it will attract pests". So, you left food out, attracted ants, and then "whined" about it. The scorpions (plural), If you saw a scorpion (singular), it would have been in the shower or kitchen sink probably. They come in through the drain sometimes (and by sometimes, I mean ONE every three years or so), scorpions travel alone unless it is a female with her babies on her back. But there's no need to overreact, just turn on the water and wash them back down the drain. I think you lied about seeing more than one scorpion. They mostly stay outside in the rocks.

Not what the pictures show.

The host was friendly- but the house was dirty. Stains on futons and recliner. Property shows hot tub and beautiful porch - which was not at the rental but was at the host’ house. A/c unit - molded and dirty. Bathroom sinks stained. The bedroom window had a refrigerator wire shelf as the screen. We stayed one night of our three night stay, got up the next morning, packed up and left. Super disappointing!

The cabin was not dirty. The cabin is disinfected between guests with a product that hospitals use that kills all bacteria and viruses including covid-19. In addition, we dust and sweep the floors and mop. Regarding the stains on futon and recliner, they are in the tv room and people spill food and red wine on them while watching tv and sometimes when we wash and/or spot clean them they don't come completely out. That's why you bring two sheets, one to put over the mattress so your dead skin cells don't get mixed up with previous guests' skin cells. It doesn't matter whether you stay at the Hyatt or a vrbo in the Big Bend just because someone gets a grease stain on a mattress doesn't mean we or anyone else is going to rush out and buy a new mattress every time that happens. We'll just make sure there are no germs there with a disinfectant. I don't think a/c units get mold. All of the windows at our cabins have screens otherwise bugs would fly in. Those stains in the sinks are from the well water, it leaves a toilet ring and stains the sinks. It's the same mineral that makes Carlsbad Caverns. In a million years I'll have a stalagmite in those sinks. I'm taking reservations for that so contact me if you want to book for May 30, one million point two. I've traveled quite a bit and I've only stayed in one hotel where there was a hot tub in the room. It was in Las Vegas at Caesars. It was Julio Iglesias suite for when he was performing there. Our plane was late, and they gave away our room, so they gave us his suite. The headboard was cloth with foam rubber behind it. It had several cigarette holes burned into it and a mirror over the round bed. If I had a regular room the pool and hot tub would have been thirty floors below me next to the parking lot and would have had a better view than the one, I had in our room. But I didn't complain or write a negative review because I was an experienced traveler and that happens sometimes. I have the best view in all of the Big Bend from my hot tub, but I knew this person lied when she described it. I don't have a porch at the hot tub or my house and what you don't know about is the deck that hangs off the west cliff because you never came up to the hot tub because I was here the whole time. As you stated you left first thing the next morning. In my opinion you plagiarized someone else review. I think it speaks volumes about your creditability. Please read the reviews by Leigh & Steven on either side of this review and see who is more credible.
