"The unique Terlingua Ranch Lodge was unexpected and well worth the 16 mile ride across the desert road, especially the last 3 miles of graded gravel !
The room accomodations were more than adequate and the surprisingly refreshing pool area, the onsite Bad Rabbit Cafe (food selection, pricing, and portions more than fair), grilling/eating/picnic area's welcoming, and the office staff informative.
Be ready for: Bright Sky and stars! Very little phone service and no room TV; only internet upon your choice.
The T.R.L. was a true oasis in the Chihuahuan dessert at big Bend National Park. We highly recommend staying there, if you can get reservations !"
