À propos de cet hébergement
Vues spectaculaires sur les montagnes. (Petite cabine)
SI VOUS ÊTES UN VOYAGEUR OU UN COUPLE, J'AI PLUSIEURS NUITS DISPONIBLES DANS LA PETITE CABINE. IL A UN LIT QUEEN, TV SATELLITE, DOUCHE CHAUDE, WC INTÉRIEUR PRIVÉ ET CUISINE JUSTE POUR NOMMER QUELQUES AMENENITES. ............ Des vues spectaculaires sur les montagnes et de superbes couchers de soleil Tarantula Ranch est situé sur une colline à environ deux miles de la route pavée la plus proche. " Vivez la vie au bout de la route "dans un complexe de 320 acres. Tarantula Ranch aiguise vos sens, la faune, les vues, les odeurs, la paix et la tranquillité et bien sûr les étoiles. TARANTULA RANCH possède certains des cieux les plus sombres du monde. Dans les mois chauds, c'est agréable de s'asseoir sur le porche et de prendre un café avec Billy et Maggie, deux burros amicaux qui aiment interagir avec nos invités, bien que vous deviez partager (ce sont les plus grands mendiants du monde). Tarantula Ranch dispose de deux cabines. La cabine de quatre chambres peut accueillir six personnes et la cabine d'une chambre peut accueillir deux personnes (bien que j'aie eu une famille de deux adultes et trois enfants y séjournent plusieurs fois pendant une semaine). Les deux cabines ont de véritables "sur le réseau électrique", des douches chaudes, des toilettes, des fosses septiques qui fonctionnent, des cuisines meublées avec cuisinière, réfrigérateur, plaques chauffantes, four à convection, cafetière, micro-ondes etc. Tous les draps et serviettes sont fournis. Nous avons également le wifi et la télévision par satellite directe avec hbo et showtime, des chauffages au gaz propane pour l'hiver et la climatisation réfrigérée pour l'été. Nous sommes à environ dix minutes de l'une des plus belles piscines du comté de Brewster, au Texas. Avec les deux cabines, nous pouvons dormir un groupe de huit personnes (bien que j'en ai eu dix à quelques reprises, mais quelqu'un devra dormir sur un matelas gonflable ou un sac de couchage sur le sol.) Si vous êtes une seule personne voyageant seule ou en couple et que la grande cabine est louée par quelqu'un d'autre, vous pouvez louer la cabine individuelle en tant que groupe distinct. La cabine individuelle a un lit queen size, une cuisine, une douche et des toilettes intérieures et une télévision par satellite. Vous devrez me contacter concernant la disponibilité de la cabine individuelle. En plus de la propriété ici à l'enceinte Tarantula Ranch llc a également d'autres propriétés dans la région. Un en particulier est à une altitude plus basse (plus chaude) pour nos adorateurs du soleil d'hiver. Il est courant d'avoir 75 à 80 degrés-jours là-bas en hiver. Cette propriété possède également des pictogrammes indiens et espagnols. J'ai une jeep et une banlieue à 4 roues motrices que je peux emmener les gens dans mes différentes propriétés pour voir comment les gens ont vécu dans le Big Bend depuis 8000 ans pour présenter avec un peu de géologie. Vous pouvez vous y inscrire lorsque vous effectuez des réservations. Si vous êtes un golfeur, en tant que membre du Lajatas Country Club, je peux vous faire économiser 20% sur votre green fee. À la fin d'une journée de jeu dans le grand virage, il est agréable de se détendre avec un verre dans notre bain à remous qui se trouve sur une falaise face à l'ouest, à l'écoute des coyotes et à la recherche d'étoiles filantes. Nous avons également une terrasse d'observation qui surplombe la même falaise ouest sur laquelle se trouve le bain à remous. Le grand virage possède certains des cieux les plus sombres du monde. Ici, à Tarantula Ranch, vous êtes un lecteur facile (selon les normes de l'ouest du Texas) à toutes les attractions touristiques de la région, le parc national, le parc d'État, les pourvoyeurs de rafting, l'équitation, les excursions en jeep et la ville fantôme de Terlingua où la bonne nourriture, la bonne les boissons, la bonne musique et les bons moments sont bien vivants.
Mots-clés: des vues éloignées et spectaculaires, des burros et des chevaux sympathiques interagiront avec vous, de grands espaces, de magnifiques levers et couchers de soleil. De plus, comme nous avons de la vraie électricité, nous pouvons vous offrir tous les appareils électriques dont vous avez besoin pour rendre votre séjour confortable, climatisation réfrigérée, appareils de cuisine, télévision par satellite. Vous n'aurez PAS à traverser un parking ou à faire des kilomètres pour utiliser les toilettes et la douche. Nous avons la plomberie intérieure !!!~ De plus, nous n'avons pas de circulation car nous sommes à plus de trois kilomètres de la route pavée la plus proche ET à l'intérieur d'un complexe. Oh et vous n'avez pas à dormir sur le sol dans une tente (sauf si vous le souhaitez). Certaines personnes m'ont demandé de leur envoyer une photo de l'intérieur de la petite cabane. Je ne peux pas. Je ne suis pas très bon avec les ordinateurs, il faudra donc un certain temps avant de passer une journée en attente avec vrbo pour essayer d'obtenir de l'aide sur la façon d'envoyer une photo. Je vais essayer de vous donner une image mentale ..... La petite cabine a récemment été rénovée, il ne devrait donc pas y avoir de toit qui tombe sur vous ou un plancher qui s'effondre autour de votre genou. Maintenant, cela dit, essayez d'imaginer une boîte de l'intérieur ..... quatre murs, un étage, un plafond. Imaginez maintenant un lit queen à l'intérieur de la boîte (vos yeux deviennent lourds ...) vous êtes allongé sur le lit en train de dormir lentement ..... MAINTENANT ce que c'est que de rester dans une chambre que ce soit le Hyatt sur Wacker Street et Michigan Ave. au centre-ville de Chicago ou dans le désert montagneux du Big Bend. Ils empêchent tous les deux la pluie et les coyotes de sortir (tant que vous gardez la porte fermée). Au plaisir de vous rencontrer, Curt

Amazing location
Don't forget to get your 4-wheel drive. The location on top of a mountain makes it worth it. Though I didn't get to stay at Curt's place due to water leakage, I loved the warmth and friendliness of him. I would have loved to stay at the cabin and enjoy the view.

For someone who truly wants to get away, especially with pets, this is the place to go. Curt was very friendly and honesy about the accommodations. He loves animals and was very kind to my dog. Maggie the burro was also a very charming and curious host, stopping by our cabin on a few occasions to visit.

Sweet and Simple
It was exactly as we had expected to be. We were prepared for the off-roading as that's part of our expedition. The drive to the property is off-road, so be prepared to take your SUV. We loved it, it was perfect for my husband and I. The animals added an extra sweet treat to the experience. You'll want to wake up to the view, it is all worth it.

I just wanted to clarify that there is a road up to my ranch it's just rocks and dirt. An- Marie and Walter are adventurers and they had the vehicle to prove it but you can make it here in your Honda. One of my vehicles is a vintage 1990 Cadillac Allante convertible sports car and it makes it just fine. An-Marie and Walter are the type of people we like to see coming to the Big Bend, They get it! You know the appreciation of the views and respecting the land and the animals. Any host would be lucky to have them as guests. I'll look forward to their return.

Ok I’m my book
The small cabin was just right for my wife and I and our 2 chihuahuas. We went with this property because of the private shower and restroom and sat tv because we can’t sleep without a tv. Lol. The place is remote and up on a mountain with great views and sun sets and Kurt the host is a friendly and fun guy to talk to.

Loved it so much, we can't wait to go back!
The cabin itself had everything we needed and was very comfortable and accommodating for me and my 12 y/o granddaughter. The views are absolutely spectacular and we really appreciated the quiet, simple, rustic charm of the cabin and the ranch. We watched the sun set behind the mountains from the bed! Curt, the host, is a truly wonderful human being. He is very warm and kind and incredibly knowledgeable about the area. My granddaughter LOVED all of his animals and he stopped by every day so she could help him feed the horse and burros. We had a little car trouble when we got there which cost us some time for our adventures and he offered to let us stay an additional night so we could have more time which he did not have to do and was extremely generous! We absolutely loved our time at Tarantula Ranch!

It was a real pleasure having Jenn and Kennedy here. It's always encouraging to me when young people come here and love the animals more than their cell phone. I have a feeling that Kennedy is missing Tarantula Ranch tonight more than she missed the mall while she was here. Am I right? Thanks for making my week! Curt

To Donald and/or any potential guest, the property owner/host does not collect or have the ability to collect or refund a damage deposit yet i am being penalized on this site for something i have no control over. I called vrbo/homeaway and they say a traveler review can not be removed. The only option the host has is to write a response. Now in the interest of full disclosure and fairness to vrbo/homeaway I called vrbo and was told Donald was sent his refund within seven days of check out.The only power a property owner has in the matter of refunding a damage deposit is to inform vrbo of damage to their property and therefore keeping the guests deposit to help pay for damages. I have been in this business for over eight and one-half years and i have never had a guest lose their damage deposit. I've been blessed with really nice guests. Thank you

Maggie and sunset
It's advertised as rustic and it is. Bring your own everything but the bed the kitchen the dining table and chairs and the bathroom. We were pleasantly surprised by the hot water, plenty and hot! Bring linens towels drinking water and food (there's no restaurants within a hundred miles!) The bed was surprisingly really comfortable, we were expecting something a little more primitive but it was great. There's a burro, Maggie, that loves apples carrots crackers and chips! The kids in the other cabin loved her. She likes to be nosy. We loved her too. It's at the end of a dirt road so be prepared to do a little driving. We have a 2021 Cadillac which was fine. The sunsets and nights and sunrises are simply amazing. The air is so crisp and fresh it made me dizzy!

Views worth the stay
I wish there would have been more photos of the home and casita, likely we would not have stayed since we had 6 adults traveling together. Due to lack of cell coverage it was difficult getting hold of the owner to allow us access to the property, perhaps giving us a gate code prior to arrival would have made it easier. The Mule!!! omg, She was something else. In the morning when the sun came up and we could see where we were it cancelled out many of the issues we had. The view is spectacular.

VrboOwner a répondu le 25 mai 2022
This guest never stayed on property# 1283391 as she stated. Also I do not own a mule. It is because of people like this that I don't randomly give out a code to just anyone. What I do is give VERY DETAILED directions over the phone weeks or days before check in along with a list of 23 items to bring that hopefully makes your stay more comfortable. Then I have the guests call me either from Alpine, Texas and tell me what time they leave (one-hour and fifteen minutes away) or Terlingua, Texas (45 minutes away) and I personally Meet them at the front gate, THEN I give them the combination to the lock, show them how things work and check them in. I am a very "hands on" host. All guests are told by me that there is limited cell service here in the Big Bend, very few gas stations and we don't recommend using a GPS.

The pictures were misleading
The cabin was hard to find, but the host was extremely helpful in trying to find the property for us which we appreciate. But the cabin had no linens and was dusty, no mats on the floor. The floor was just a sorry excuse of a floor with a creaky bathroom. It just seemed like the host didn't care what the cabin looked like because it was in a place where you couldn't find many places to stay and we couldn't go anywhere in the night. We left after one night stay and didn't stay the 2 nights even though we paid for it as we couldn't stand the place. It is not a place we will return to and wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

They told me the reason the cabin was hard for them to find was they left my VERY DETAILED directions at home. "The doctor" forgot to bring the directions with them on their trip. Also she complained that there were no linens in the cabin. She is correct. It is listed on my web site that because of covid-19 I am having my guests bring their own sheets, pillows, blankets to slow the spread of covid -19. In addition to the linens information on the internet "the doctor" was given a list of 23 items to bring to make their stay more comfortable and sheets are on that list as well. "The doctor" says it was dusty and had no mats on the floor. There probably is dust in all of the cabins here in the Big Bend Of Texas. This is a desert and in my particular case it is also a ranch and I leave the windows open between guests to air it out. I can't tell you how many laughs my colleagues and I have had when a tourist complains about dust, the sun, the unpaved roads and the heat. TRY AND READ MY LIPS....... YOU ARE COMING TO "THE CHIHUHUAN DESERT WILDERNESS BACKCOUNTRY" SO YES THERE IS GOING TO BE DUST. "The doctor" states there were no mats on the floor she was correct again. Only a third world country would cover a floor with a mat. I noticed she wasn't telling the whole truth in this instance, you see even though I don't have a "mat" for you to stand on, I do have a $200.00 hand woven Southwestern rug on that floor and five hand woven wallhangings on the walls. The "doctor" said we had a creaky bathroom, you probably didn't know but alot of the vacation rentals have no indoor plumbing. They advertise saying "just a short four mile drive to a bathroom and shower". "The doctor" said the host(me) didn't care what the cabin looked like. I care about my cabins and so do 98% of my guests just look at the honest reviews. When I started my business in September of 2011, I was cabin number 9 on VRBO. Now there are probably 500 to 1000 vacation rentals in the area so there are plenty of rentals as long as you book in advance. People like my place because it is a remote ranch with no neighbors, no traffic, great star gazing, spectacular mountain views, a deck that hangs out over our west cliff, a hot tub, wifi, satellite tv with movies, a/c, heat, indoor plumbing and as of this writing it is the least expensive in the area. "The doctor" says she "couldn't go anywhere in the night". I don't see why not, unless you are afraid of the dark.

Tarantula Ranch steals the show
The cabin was great, the drive to it from the main highway is not difficult but is beautiful. Close enough to the National park to be a very reasonable drive (by west Texas standards). Curt’s property feels extremely remote, and is great for quiet introspection or peaceful resets at the end of a long day of hiking. AC and heater worked great to keep temp regulated in cabin. You will likely use both during your stay( it is the desert, after all).
The small cabin is no frills, and I think of it as an adventure cabin. Shelter from weather and critters, plus a few amenities you really wouldn’t expect to find this far out like real plumbing and electricity. This ain’t a hotel in the middle of the city, so keep your expectations reasonable. Some other reviewers have clearly not ever been away from New York City. Curt’s place was exactly what we expected plus a whole heap of natural beauty. We saw kangaroo mice, roadrunners, wild boar, huge whitetail deer, and owls, but no snakes. I plan to stay at Curt’s again. We also got a glimpse at his large cabin which has substantially more space and a more relaxed vibe than the small cabin we stayed in. If I ever go out with a big group I would definitely consider staying in the large cabin or renting both. Thank you Curt, until we meet again!

An Amazing Off The Grit Texas-Style Ranch
Tarantula Ranch is one of the most beautiful places in the Big Bend area. It has an amazing view of the mountains. Curt was a gracious host with PERFECT directions to get to his ranch. He is very funny. Very nice rustic cabins. I took advantage of renting both cabins for my birthday. Curt does tell you ahead of time what to bring with you i.e. your own beddings, towels, utensils, etc (Covid) but the cabins (both) are equipped with refrigerators, oven/toaster oven on the smaller cabin, AC, heart etc. Curt even invited us to the deck that sits on top of the mountain to witness one heck of a sunset. It is called “God’s Country,” for just that reason, its spectacular views. Curt was especially nice to my dog Peppa-Pig, which I did appreciate that very much. I highly recommend Tarantula Ranch to everyone. I WILL BE BACK to visit and stay there, that’s for sure! Thank you, Curt and God bless.

Spectacular view, filthy cabin
Everything was as stated-barely. I live on a dirt road and traveled on several during my stay in west Texas but none were as ill-maintained as this rutted track. We used low gear and four wheel drive and wished we had higher clearance. The queen bed is a mattress on a metal frame that was stained. Glad we brought our own bedding. The kitchen faucet was duct taped. The listing says it is newly renovated however there were water stains above the bed that had started to mold. The paint on the plywood floor was worn off in many spots and the screens were broken or ill fitting. We woke up to literally hundreds of moths in the bathroom. Most amenities were as listed, but there was no washer, dryer, stove, iron nor hair dryer as listed under amenities in the listing. The hot tub was wonderful but it is at the main house up a steep hill on the rutted road from the cabin. Frying pans were available- we assume for the hot plate, but no dish soap to clean with after. There were piles of dead bugs inside each light fixture and heavy dust everywhere- I am not sure what the cleaning fee was used for, especially with bring in our own linens and dinnerware. If possible on VRBO I would supply pictures of all of this to prove I am not exaggerating. We looked for another place, willing to pay for this and somewhere clean, however everything between there and Big Bend was sold out. On a positive final note, the sunsets were spectacular.

Beautiful location!
My husband and I stayed the weekend at Curts small cabin, we had an amazing time. Curt was so friendly and gave us tons of information about what we could do in the area. It's a nice scenic drive from the property into Big Bend National Park. The cabin was clean and well kept and there were a couple donkeys, dogs and a horse to keep us company. We will definitely be booking there again, 12/10!
