About this property

Big Bend Lodging at Ten Bits Ranch | Room #11 (Harness Shop)

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 famous La Kiva Restaurant & Bar, 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.

    Peaceful

    Our backyard view of the mountains was amazing. Cute concept and very clean. They also had many amenities like paper towels, soap, shampoo, and waters which was very helpful.

    Amazing stay

    Really cool place to stay - close enough to Big Bend but really no rush getting there because it was nice to spend time on the property. Temps got around 110 but the rooms stayed plenty cool. Nice hike on the property and awesome to be able to cook dinners over the fire. Definitely looking to book another trip back!

    Wonderful cottage and view

    Sat on the back porch and enjoyed the mornings and evenings. Wow. The inside space was equally comfortable and lovely! My husband and I have been discussing spending a week here next time. Joint eating and cooking space worked out much easier and more convenient than I was anticipating. Would do again. Hiking around the premises has really nice features and views to enjoy.

    Our second visit won't be the last

    We absolutely love this place! Spacious solar powered cabin, fantastic views, close to Big Bend, nice meeting new folks in the communal kitchen, and dog friendly. I do have a few issues--both visits there was a lot of dust, fur, and small bits of trash under the beds. This time a wet, stained face towel greeted us in the bathroom. Second is the highly perfumed sheets. It would be great if you could find a perfume-free or neutral detergent. Last, on both visits we could not get the fireplace to light. I even chose a different cabin in hopes of it working. Three other guests said the same thing. It would be great if they worked; or if not best to leave it off the listing rather than get hopes up.

    Get away from it all

    For anyone looking to decompress and enjoy quiet solitude of desert landscapes and a sky full of stars -- 10 Bits Ranch is your answer. We enjoyed ever minute of our stay. The cabins were cozy (the gas fireplaces kept the room perfectly warm...never had to use the heater). Sitting on our private back porch at night with a fire was wonderful. Getting to Big Bend was an easy half-hour drive. And took our e-bikes out for rides every day from the cabin out into the desert. Already planning our return trip!

    Cute Concept

    My partner and I stayed here one night. It was a last-minute find after a rare snow event delayed our backpacking plans. It's a cute concept with all of the buildings creating an "old west town" that is tucked away in the Chihuahuan Desert. Harness Shop had a cozy interior, comfy bed, and a beautiful view from the back porch. We did encounter some sort of plumbing issue. We noticed a faint sewage smell, and then realized the shower drain was backing up (which meant I couldn't shower). I emailed the property managers to let them know, and someone showed up to take a look at it the next day. We were on our way out, but I think this still shows how responsive they are to issues. One last thing: The Vrbo check-in and check-out times were different from the email I received from Ten Bits Ranch. When I made my reservation through Vrbo, the listing stated that check-in was after 2 and check-out was before 12. The ACTUAL check-in time is after 4 with the check-out being 11. Not a big deal, but hopefully the listing is accurate now.
