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.

Rustic ranch retreat
Not for everyone but we enjoyed our stay on this private ranch and the host is worth getting to know.

Misleading description of lodge
Lodge needs updating to include pictures, accurate information of rooms in lodge rented such as ours was not a two bath,3 bedroom home with the beds listed. The lodge was not very clean and we took pictures to shows this. The view was very beautiful, and the host was very nice

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

Wasn't what we expected but would still recommend
We had a lovely time, and all ended well, but like my friend said, the house was a bit of a surprise since it wasn't what we were expecting. The listing says 3 bedroom/2 bath but that is very misleading because those 3 bedrooms and 2 baths are split between two rentals. Even with that, calling the larger property a 2 bedroom/1 bath isn't completely accurate because one of the "bedrooms" is actually the living room. There should be a way to separate the listings and cross-post so it is more accurate. Also, the hot tub is at the owner's house, so not easily accessible and if there is a community pool it is very well hidden. There are no towns very close, so any amenities that are tied to a town are quite a drive. The donkey is fun until she's not. We ended up sitting in the corral with the gate locked so she would leave us alone. At the end of the day, we all agreed that we would go back if we were in the area again since now we know what to expect.

Panoramic view
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.

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!

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!.

Great Stay, Great Location, Great Host
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.

Beautiful stay!
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!

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!

family visit and Big Bend
My Husband, parents and our two small dogs had a wonderful time visiting Big Bend National Park, wild life, star gazing and learning more about geology through the scenery and Curt's knowledge from his tour.
My dogs love the donkeys & horses on the property.

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.

Tarantula Ranch stay
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.

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.

The view is amazing
You can't beat the starry nights in Big Bend. The view from this property is amazing. We enjoyed the company of the burros. The property owner was friendly and pleasant. It was helpful to have WIFI, as one of our kids had to be present for online school. I do suggest storing your food properly, as there are critters in the dessert that make their way into the cabin.

Very Rustic
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.

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.

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

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.

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!

Perception is key
We are not Texans so the 2 mile "lane" was interesting. Taking all linens, silverware, etc. was a bit of a pain. The night sky is amazing but having only a single chair that wasn't plastic seemed odd. Neither futon was in the upright position to use as anything other than a bed. It is 20 miles to the main park entrance outside Study Butte. I understand there is "rustic" and there is "rustic." The larger cabin needs some TLC and a deep cleaning.
