Ce confortable une chambre retraite de vacances situé sur 90 acres offre inégalée vues à 360 degrés, calme et confort dans un cadre distant. Pas de feux à proximité d'interrompre le ciel étoilé de la Big Bend.

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!

Quiet Remote Getaway

We had a wonderful stay at this quiet, remote getaway retreat. 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.

We loved our stay here. While it is very remote and may not be for everyone, we had a great stay! We loved the two decks, one on each side to take advantage of the beautiful sunrises and sunsets! The house had everything we needed. The small kitchen met our needs. We prepared all our meals without a problem. The bedroom was roomy and comfortable. Thanks for a great stay!

We loved this place!!

We spent our Christmas at the Ranch Retreat and it far exceeded our expectations. The house is adorable, clean, and very well appointed. The view is stunning and the quiet is nothing like I have ever experienced. Darrell and Janet who manage the retreat are wonderful hosts and very accommodating. They really could not be nicer. We highly recommend this house for anyone needing to get away from it all. We will be back.

Overall, I felt like the listing was fairly accurately represented. It was cozy in a remote sort of way. The beds were comfortable and the water was warm. The purified drinking water they provided tasted great and they had a decent assortment or pots/pans. There was salt/pepper, but no other spices/seasonings. Their fridge/freezer was full-sized. The freezer doesn't get super cold, and there's a few ice trays. So, I'd highly recommend bringing a cooler with a bag of ice. We didn't need to use the heaters or AC units, so I can't comment on those. But the lights, fans, wifi, and other devices worked. I will say that it's a little worn down. Screens have holes. Toilet might need a little work, utensils and kitchen supplies are old, screen door wobbles, wind whistles through all the windows day and night. And there were definitely daily spider/critter sightings. So, if none of that bothers you, this could absolutely be a charming space for you!The rocky road to get to the place is definitely passable, but we were glad to have an SUV. Some of the access instructions should be reviewed and updated. There is now a road sign for the dirt road. The only other thing I'll mention is how far it is from Big Bend. The park is remote in general, but we drove a solid 1.5 hours daily just to get to any trailhead. But they're about 30mins from a town/gas station. Overall positive review.

The beautiful sunsets were the "cake" and the stars at night were the "icing"!!

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!!
VrboOwner a répondu le 3 avr. 2020
Thank you for your very kind words. We think the views from the house are great. The only thing we know to do that will make the scenery more enjoyable is to keep the house as easy and comfortable as possible while minimizing any impact on the surroundings. That seems to suit most folks, and we are glad you enjoyed your stay. Thanks again, Dee and Wayne.

Unique, private, superior views, loved it!

This vacation house was perfect for us. We love the adorable house windows all around with million dollar views. The photos do not do it justice, its up high and no neighbors in view only Mountains and valleys with blooming cactus (Ocotillo). We drove into Big Bend NP everyday, enjoyed all the hikes took 800+ photos. I think my best photo was the sunset at the Telingua Ranch Retreat from the back porch, just beautiful! If you like remote, off grid, get away from it all this is for you. Absolutely loved it.

Thanks very much for the glowing review! Access to the Park from the house is one of the many things we enjoy about it. Big Bend is a tremendous park and well worth exploring. We like being able to support that exploration when we can; using the Retreat as a "base camp" can be very helpful. Thanks again, and Happy Travels! Dee and Wayne.

Terlingua Retreat

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Terlingua Ranch Retreat. We watched deer right outside the house everyday and even saw a 10 point buck. They seemed to love eating the red ocotillo cactus like plant. The landscape is so beautiful around the house and we watched the stars at night through the skylight window above the bed. It takes a little getting used to the green amenities but we felt like we were saving the planet and it was really a lovely adventure. Would love to come back.

Thank you very much for your kind review. It's always nice to hear about highlights of guest visits. Of course, I'm jealous of your getting to see the deer - we have only seen them once ever!

Beautiful Seclusion

Beautiful and awe inspiring views. Saw Sunrise from one porch and sunset from another porch. Viewed deer, javelinas, jack rabbits and quail. So quiet! Cabin was clean and cozy with kitchen well stocked with essentials. Access road was very rocky for our CRV so ride in was very rough. But, that was the ONLY challenge of the stay. Thank you to the managers for making our trip so enjoyable and easy to book. Thank you to owners for sharing your home!

Quiet, desert retreat

No neighbors at this quiet desert cabin. 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.

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.

Amazing

Even though I have used this site many times and stayed in many wonderful places this is the first vrbo review I have ever written. I felt that the Terlingua Ranch Retreat was so amazing that I had to share it with others. My wife and I have stayed in at least 4 other vrbo properties and we agreed that this was the most gorgeous and relaxing place we have ever been. We are not morning people at all but we actually set our alarms so we could wake up and watch the sun rise over the mountains. The hardest part was leaving.

Paradise in the Desert

Wow. We could not have been happier with the Terlingua Ranch Retreat. What a perfect house, off the grid and so peaceful. When we were there, 90% of our time was spent on the porches, soaking up the incredible views. Enjoyed hearing the coyotes in the early AM, listened to the bees buzzing around the blooming ocotillo, and watched birds of all kinds. Only disappointment was that there was a nearly full moon so didn't get to enjoy the star party we were hoping for.....oh well, next time.

Thank you, guys, how you have described the Retreat, I think, is to describe its magic! we have found very often that just relaxing on the porches and watching the birds and flowers opening and hearing the sounds of silence, has done us so much good that sometimes we have not done a lot except enjoy the Retreat and its surroundings. Sorry about the star party (they are wonderful) but as you say, there is next time and we look forward to welcoming you again. Dee

Rustic, off grid, desert oasis

This place is exactly as advertised. It is a rustic, off grid, home away from home in the desert backyard of a big Bend National park. The views are nothing short of divine. Both porches offer spectacular views and sunrise/sunset are to be savored each day. The outdoor shower is a must, especially on hot days when done exploring the park. We highly recommend use of the propane grill for as much as you can use it for as it keeps from adding additional heat inside. The house is at least 30 minutes from the entrance to Big Bend, but it means you are off on your own in the morning and evenings. The sense of solitude is nothing short of energizing. We will happily stay here again on our next Big Bend adventure.

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! Pete and Kim

Great Trip!

Just back and would love to turn around and go right back to Big Bend and this retreat. Property was a great place to come back to after our days of hiking. Loved the amazing quiet and views and all was comfortable and as listed. We had one small issue our first morning there - up early so it was still dark and there was no wind either so we did not have enough electricity to make a pot of coffee. If no coffee one morning would ruin your day consider taking a french press along just in case. Other mornings we had enough power. Of note: there is an old stovetop percolator at the retreat. Information about the retreat that came after booking was thorough and excellent. Would definitely stay again and recommend. Go, see this amazing place! FYI - came from the midwest in winter so thought I was well versed with dry skin but SW TX put Michigan dryness to shame. Take good moisturizer with you, your skin will thank you.

A must visit!

We just got back from a weekend at the Terlingua ranch retreat. Huge mistake to have thought a weekend was enough time... I woke up the last day wondering if we could call and extend. My boyfriend and I vacation in this area annually and won't be stayying anywhere else again. I absolutely loved the solitude and you will not find a better sunset or sunrise anywhere else. I loved that there are no clocks, no tv's and no cell service... wonderful! (a phone in the house for emergencies..don't worry. :)) We kept the windows open and enjoyed the breeze through the house and cooked meals in the well-stocked kitchen. I had never stayed in an "off the grid" house, but really enjoyed it. We had big plans to head into the park and hike on Saturday but opted to spend all of our time at the house playing cards, drinking wine and enjoying one of the two great porches at the house. I just can't say enough about it. I don't think we will make it a year before returning and I have already recommended it to multiple friends. The pictures really don't do it justice. It's a place you can really disconnect with life and connect with whomever you have chosen to travel with which is what we were looking for. Loved it and so will you!

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!

Thank you for your very sincere and splendid review of The Retreat! we are so glad that you had such a good time and appreciated our attempts to be environmentally "friendly". The stairs to the upstairs bedroom are steep, I agree: in fact at age 82 I find it best to descend backwards like sailors do on steep stairs aboard ship. We do have a warning about this on the website but it does call for caution, even in youngsters! We will be delighted to welcome you again to TRR. Take care and thank you so much for writing. Dee

impressive off-the-grid location

For those who want to experience a fairly remote desert location with views in every direction, about a half-hour north of Big Bend National Park, and who don't mind the minor differences in daily routine associated with being "off the grid," this is an excellent, comfortable cabin or small house. The location has quiet, solitude and excellent desert views in every direction. At night, there are a few lights from RVs and cabins sprinkled throughout the desert, but much of the settlement in the valley is hidden by the hills and location on a ridge, and the "neighbors" that do exist are so far away that the location is completely quiet. Sunrises and sunsets are excellent - quiet, but for a few birds perched on the ocotillos, and a vast landscape in which to watch the play of light and shadow. The cabin is well-designed with many windows in all 4 directions, and 2 patios, one facing roughly east and the other west. The property managers are very helpful and do a very nice job running the place. Janet answered emails very promptly, and we had the pleasure of meeting Daryl when he came to refill the water tank. They provided a detailed PDF with all the instructions for how to operate the cabin, which uses solar, wind & generator power. They've provided pretty much every amenity you might want - it really doesn't feel like a motel or rustic cabin; it feels much more like a comfortable small house. And in spite of being off the grid with respect to electricity, water & sewer, it is "on the grid" with respect to telephone & wi-fi. From what we saw in the area while staying a week in this cabin, it's hard to imagine many other spots in the area being better. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again.

When we bought the Retreat, we determined to work towards creating exactly the comfortable and homelike cabin in a totally quiet environment, just as you describe it today. It is a place that lives up to its name, a Retreat from the busy world which we all know, only too well. But in your description you hit the nail on the head! We are so happy that you experienced exactly what we hoped our guests would experience. And thank you , too, for adding a shout out to Daryl and Janet. Without them it would not at all be the same! We hope that you will come back to stay at the Retreat, many times! With very best wishes, Dee
