Way off the grid

It's way off the highway! No tv, radio or cell phone reception. GREAT!! They do have good fast WIFI. Onsite restaurant serves good meal variety at resonable prices. Interesting Carroll Shelby history.

Very dated accommodations, window unit AC that smelled, beware that this is 16 miles off main road, 3 miles down a gravel road and approximately 45min from any eating establishment other than their own.

I really enjoyed our little Mountain View cabin. We ate at the Bad Rabbit every day and Beau was our server. Enjoyed sitting on the deck watching the stars come out. The decor is rustic and different. The pool was fantastic and refreshing after spending the day in the day desert heat. The staff is all very friendly and accommodating. I loved parking right next to our cabin. My only suggestion would be a bench in the closet area to help with suitcases and changing clothes.

A bit of a drive down the road but definitely worth it. The stars were beautiful and the drive to big bend was shorter than expected. Definitely worth it

Worth the drive.

Very clean room but remember no tv. Plenty of outlets and great cross ventilation with the two windows if weather cooperates. Air conditioner/heater worked. We had to use both while there. The restaurant was convenient. Friendly staff.

You do have to slow down the last 8 miles on an unpaved dirt & gravel road, but its worth it. Beautiful scenery with great star viewing and lots of wildlife. Bad Rabbit cafe on site with excellent food and a big outside patio. Wifi worked well and their onsite little store had ice and snacks. Cabins were nice with firepits and outside seating on deck, beds were comfortable, great shower and clean cabins.

No microwave, hair dryer, coffee maker, television. Electric outlet loose, possibly unsafe. Shower pipe needs repair. Also, hotel NOT in Terlingua town, but 50 miles outside Big Bend Park on dead end of dirt road. Over priced with zero amenities.
