Place was a bit down the road but once you get there, it is wonderful!! Place is clean. Then you can make food in The Cantina building. And it has food in stock, you just have to prepare it yourself, or take your own food. kinda of like on a ranch. It’s a unique experience. The whole place. Definitely will book again!!!

Great experience

We had a great stay. The room was as described and the property was beautiful. The view from the fire pit area was breathtaking and a great place for viewing the stars. It was a great home base for exploring the Big Bend area.

Great Place to Get Away

Great place to go if you're looking to get away from everything! It is a little hard to find but the proprietors are super helpful and just a phone call away.

Great Stay!

Loved the cabin and entire ranch. Such a fun idea and the location is beautiful and peaceful. The cabin was well-stocked and prepared for an easy stay. Many thanks for being dog-friendly and so welcoming!

Review of 10 Bits Ranch

Property mgr gave good instructions on facilities for heating, cooling, fireplace operations and where to eat in the area. We really enjoyed our cabin. It was furnished with everything we needed. We would definitely stay there again.

A Must Stay in West Texas!

If you are in the west Texas area, you must stay at this secluded getaway! The ranch was well kept and the rooms had every amenity you would need, including a good AC! We got to sit on rockers while watching the sun go down with little noise from other guests. Great job on making this ranch available to guests!

A new adventure!

We really enjoyed our stay, more than we expected! Only con was the 2.5 miles of unpaved road to get to it. Glad it did not rain or we may have not gotten in or out!

Great Location and Property

The propert owners thought of everything from bedding to places of local interests; gas, groceries, car mechanics. As well as the well thought out accommodations. We took advantage of the porch seating out back including the seating around the fire pit under the stars, I love that they are dog friendly lodging and cigar & bourbon friendly outside. We are planning a return in two years or sooner sans pups so we can really explore Big Bend National Park.

Peaceful and perfect

This was the perfect peaceful getaway for my love and I. Little did I know it would be the place he would propose. I couldn’t think of a better spot by the fire, under the stars with the extraordinary backdrop. This place is a gem.

Absolutely loved this experience! Was skeptical bc it is down a two mile gravel road, but totally worth it. There is nothing else around for miles, so the night sky is absolutely beautiful. There is enough space to feel like your party is alone, but the cantina and communal fire-pits invite interaction. There is a trail right on property and we had a great time exploring. We left before sunrise everyday and was able to enter BBNP in no time. Highly recommend

ten bits ranch

very pleasant stay. quiet and relaxing. property was in excellent shape and beautiful location. Only concern was that road to property was challenging, and not easy to navigate. Fortunately traffic was minimal or passing cars in other direction would have been challenging in most places.

Great overall but not a big fan of that county road

We really enjoyed our stay at Ten Bits. Owners are awesome and very friendly. Our sink was draining slow and they came over quickly and took care of it. The cabin was very nice with rocking chairs in front and back. The scenery is absolutely beautiful. Our only complaint is that dusty washboard county road you use to come to the cabins and water pressure for the showers was pretty weak. The ambiance of the old western town is great. Thanks Sis and Cowboy for an enjoyable stay.
