About this property

Ten Bits Ranch - Room # 17 - Post Office

Big Bend National Park and Big Bend State Park area lodging with a unique West Texas old town experience.
Ten Bits Ranch has some of the most beautiful views in the Big Bend region of Texas.
The rugged off grid Ten Bits Ranch site was chosen for its breathtaking views of the dark sky stars, red craggy rocks and the beautiful sunrise and sunset over the surrounding mountains.
Guests of Ten Bits Ranch may hike and explore over 550 private acres of Ten Bits Ranch land at their leisure. Ten Bits Ranch is your own personal National Park without all the rules and restrictions of hiking the public land.
Guests may have a complimentary self-serve continental breakfast or prepare your own meal 24/7 in the full guest kitchen and dining area in the shared Cantina space.
Ten Bits Ranch is just (20) minutes from the Big Bend National Park entrance and (20) minutes from the historic Terlingua Ghost Town. Ten Bits Ranch is (20) minutes from local activities like the Big Bend rafting companies, Big Bend Stables horseback riding and the local bars & restaurants like Longdraw Pizza, Starlight, DB’s Rustic Iron BBQ, Chili Pepper Cafe and the High Sierra Bar & Grill.
Ten Bits Ranch is (35) minutes from the amazing Big Bend Ranch State Park and the beautiful Lajitas Golf Resort.
Ten Bits Ranch has everything that you need to be comfortable (WiFi, AC, gas & electric heat, satellite television). The entire property is off grid and powered by the one of the largest (57.6 kW) privately owned solar power systems in Texas.
Experience REAL West Texas off grid living in the Big Bend region with your own off grid oasis and 550-acre private park.
Hike and explore right outside your room without the rules and limitations of the public parks. Hike with your pet, bring your ATV or motorcycle, build a fire, visit our shooting range, hike to the Apache Indian Cave or just have a drink, smoke a cigar or read a book on the porch or by the firepit and look at the beautiful mountains on the hotel property. Let the hundreds of acres and nearly complete freedom create a unique Big Bend experience.
Ten Bits Ranch has some of the best views of the famous Big Bend stars. Since Ten Bits Ranch is completely off grid and located on 550 private acres, there are no neighbors and no ground lights to obscure the perfectly dark night sky.
The amazing solitude is extremely quiet and peaceful day or night. If you come to Ten Bits Ranch when the moon cycle is dark, after 20 minutes (for your eyes to adjust), the stars will appear to surround you like a blanket. Be sure to watch for shooting stars. There is a shooting star in view at Ten Bits Ranch almost every week. Ten Bits Ranch offers a truly private, unique, off grid, dark sky star gazing experience that few people have the opportunity to see in person. The craggy Chimney Rock Mountain blocks out a beautiful black jagged silhouette in the blanket of stars.
Well-behaved pets are welcome at Ten Bits Ranch. Hike and explore at your leisure with both your 2 and 4 legged friends.
Thank you for considering Ten Bits Ranch for your Big Bend Adventure. Wherever you choose to stay, the Big Bend area is a wild, unique and a truly beautiful place that is well worth the trip.

This cabin was excellent! The whole ranch was excellent! We actually stayed in The Law Office cabin. The hosts were very nice and attentive! They responded immediately to every text. The views in the morning and at night were breathtaking. If you are in the Terlingua area, definitely book a cabin at Ten Bits Ranch! It will not disappoint.

The view was sooo beautiful. The cabin was very clean and cozy… all the amenities were so nice. We ended up having a family emergency (everything was ok) but it was so nice to have such fast WiFi to take care of everything we needed. We felt secluded and we were definitely able to disconnect. Enjoyed our stay!!

We loved our stay at Ten Bits Ranch. It was very clean and well kept. The community kitchen was fun and breakfast almost always involved talking with other guests and sharing experiences. We were there during the cold snap in January of 2026 when much of Texas was struggling with snow and ice. We had a fair amount of rain. The owners arrived and stayed throughout the bad weather and made sure electricity wasn’t a problem. We had 4WD and had no trouble getting around. If you like getting away from crowds, this is a great place to stay. We would highly recommend.

This place is amazing! I’m not sure how I learned about Ten Bits but I will definitely be back. The National park is a short drive away. After a day of hiking and sightseeing, we enjoyed stargazing in the evening. The sunrise and the sunsets were spectacular. It’s a magical place for sure!
Sunsets and sunrises were my favorite.
The rooms are adorable.

Absolutely loved the setting. It’s off the main road in the mountains, absolutely stunning views and perfect starry night sky. The room (post office) was spacious with a king bed, fridge and microwave, very clean and appointed in the Texas style. Access to the fully stocked cantina was a huge bonus.

Stayed for two nites and base for three days in Big Bend and Big Bend Ranch. I was put off at first with the 'wild west' theme but the remote location down a two mile gravel [and mud if rains], is isolated, private and silent. Shared kitchen was fine for our time with 1/3 of the units rented in possibly hot May. Get there early though for the better coffee pods and creme cheese. These units are spacious, generous plans and tall ceilings [with fan], minimal, and our 'room' number 17 was superiorly placed for view from porch in thunder storms. Privacy and great view out the rear window to the close-by rock shards. The showers are big enough for two, plenty of warm water. 17 had new appliances [fridge, microwave]. We had storms each late afternoon or evening [so much for dark skies] and the views to the peaks across was stunning. We were even able to turn off the AC [which worked wonderfully] at nite. We had clear directions on getting there and access.

The road is a tough drive, but the property is worth it. Nails the old west town feel and while there aren't a ton of amenities, the shared kitchen is one we will be back for next vacation with the kids and family. Has a summer camp vibe I loved but with air conditioned room, hot water, and a comfortable room. Not too far from Terlingua and big bend national park. Roads can be a bit white knuckle after dark, but that's everywhere in this part of Texas. For the price probably the best value around.

Ten Bits Ranch was, by far, the coolest place we’ve ever stayed. The cabin and property is absolutely adorable!! We (my son and I) stayed in the Post Office. It was spotless, spacious, and beautifully decorated. The bed was so comfortable, there was plenty of water provided, the wifi was strong, bathroom is roomy, and there was more than enough space for my son to sleep on his air mattress without taking up all the floor space.The owners contacted me several times before and during our stay with all the information needed. I cooked dinner in the Cantina one night and found everything needed (utensils, pans, stove, oven, etc.). Watching the sun set and rise was a beautiful experience. We brought in our own wood and had a lovely fire at the fire pit and enjoyed the beauty all around us. I cannot even express how much we loved this place and how highly we recommend it!! I’ll definitely be back!! The only negative which has nothing to do with the owners and would not deter me from going back is the North County Road. We had a storm (which is very rare) come through which made the road a little rougher and we had to pass through water running across the road in several spots. The only suggestion is to keep a watch on the weather and if you don’t have a vehicle that sits a little higher off the ground, wait for the storm to pass and watch water levels when entering the access . Do not let this one thing keep you from visiting this amazing place!
