About this property

Black Cat Ranch

You'll have a great time at this comfortable place to stay. The cabin has a queen Sleep Number bed, refrigerator, Keurig, toaster, microwave, A/C , heat and full bath. Watch the sunrise in the morning from the porch, and the sunset from anywhere on the 40 acres. With a full moon the entire area lights up, no moon means countless stars and the Milky Way visible as you have probably never seen before. Possibly see a javelina, cotton tail or jack rabbit, roadrunner, mule deer, elk, bobcat or coyote. The property is on water catchment for water and solar energy for electricity. Water is not drinkable you will need to supply your own drinking water. The backup generator is currently out of service so conservation is essential if there is a cloudy day as you could lose power.

We are located 34 miles from Terlingua Ghost Town, 32 miles from Big Bend National Park. Terlingua Ranch Lodge is 6 miles and features a laundromat, Bad Rabbit Cafe and pool for a small daily fee.
GUEST ACCESS
You have access to the guesthouse and shared access to the shed where you do dishes and leave bagged trash. You can roam the entire 40 acres just respect my private areas around my home. I am currently not at the property.
VIDEO AND AUDIO SURVEILLANCE
Cameras are located at guest parking and inside the shed as well in my private area.

Quiet and perfect
Great location. Remote but the drive was beautiful. Gravel for the last mile or so. You only see a few other properties from the site. Quiet. Beautiful. We were excited to see about 40 scaled quail and an elk! The building was clean and had all we needed for our 2 day stay. Comfortable sleep number bed. Shower was warm and decent pressure. Cleaning staff was great. Overall, very happy w our stay.
