Wildlife, BBQ, Stargazing: Black Cat Ranch Awaits!
10/10 Excellent
"This was the best VRBO we've ever experienced! The host was equally amazing! The communication, STELLAR!! The view, REMARKABLE!! The accommodations, BEYOND EXPECTATIONS! We can't wait to visit Black Cat Ranch again!! Star gazers, be ready for a show and have your camera settings ready!"
"The property is great, very spacious and the beds were comfortable. The facility was clean, overall it was a great stay. The kitchen was well stocked, and had everything we needed. Outside/yard activities were great for our 5 and 8 year old. We got to make s’mores and woke up one night at 3am and got go up the container and were able to see the Milky Way! It was such a great experience. We got to hear the coyotes howling at night, that was a very cool experience. We were a short 45-min-drive away from big bend, the drive into the property was easy to find and had no issues with our jeep wrangler and Nisan kick. We brought all our supplies from Walmart in Del Rio, but found a small convenient store in Terlingua “cottonwood” between the home and big bend that was fully stocked with anything and everything you could possibly imagine from contact solution to electrolytes (for a higher than usual price) but if need be, it’s a great location to find stuff that you might have forgotten. Overall we had a great experience, we had no issues with communication with the host, they provided excellent service, I would def recommend it. "
"The property is very secluded away from everything, but that what we were looking for. It is exactly as described. The Casita has a spectacular view. The host was very responsive. They were promptly answered our questions, even at 11pm. "
"We went to Terlingua for the dark skies and to see Big Bend during the day. The location was perfect! The accommodations were clean and well stocked. We had everything we needed for a lovely weekend getaway."
Star Lodge: Stunning Solar Home under Dark Skies on Terlingua Ranch
10/10 Excellent
"This was an amazing property in an amazing location! Very isolated but that’s exactly what we wanted. If you’re looking for a relaxing and peaceful getaway, this place is for you. The home was comfortable and had everything we needed. It’s a bit of a bumpy drive to get to it so you’ll definitely want a 4 wheel drive vehicle. I know that we will stay here again in the future."
Casa Tranquilla: Scenic Solar and Wind Powered Home
10/10 Excellent
"The title says it all, there is absolutely no light pollution at Casa Tranquilla!!! I was there with another member of TAAS (The Albuquerque Astronomical Society) and we imaged with our telescopes and brought home over 20 hours of integration. If you know Bortles Class we were pulling down 21.40's-21.62 on our SQM each night putting it at Bortles 2-3. However it felt much dark and there wasn't any part of the sky that was not viewable! If you stay up late and watch the Milky Way Rise it will take your breath away!In terms of Casa Tranquilla it is quaint, simple, and absolutely lovely just as it is. We had some issues with AC while we were there and the owner took care of everything for us in record time considering town was 36 miles away and they had to make three trips to get all the parts sorted out. Before going look at the daily weather not the average. We packed for colder nights as the daily average was 70-80's for the day in April, nope it was like 95-99 the whole time we where there and it broke 100 at least once during April 21-28.Would we go back? Of course we would! We had a fantastic time and enjoyed every moment of it even though staying up each night to image from 1-6am was pretty tough on the body. Thanks again for everything!!!"
