Big Bend Lodging at Ten Bits Ranch | Room #5 (Delmonico’s Steakhouse)

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 the Starlight, DB’s Rustic Iron BBQ, Longdraw Pizza, Chili Pepper Cafe and High Sierra Bar & Grill.
Ten Bits Ranch is (35) minutes from the 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 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 (and well-behaved people) 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.

Cool place in the middle of nowhere
Check in was simple, as it was all online, with codes sent to my email. The area seemed like a ghost town, with each of the guest buildings representing a different town function (eg blacksmith, bank, jail, etc). Our room was well furnished, the Wi-Fi worked surprisingly well, the outside chairs and fire pit were a great feature to look into the awesome sky at night. The only issue we experienced was we couldn’t get the heat to heat past about 65. The community “cantina” was nice, with enough simple options for breakfast. If I came back, I’d definitely choose this place again. It also would be an awesome place for larger groups to each stay here.

The host was very communicative: emails, chats, and texts. Sent instructions to get to the place, things to do around the place, how to work heaters inside the lodging, etc. The hosts's pictures say it all. There is hot water to shower, a TV if you need entertainment, but you don't need one because nature is so beautiful. There is a fire pit outside the lodging. It was very nice to sit in a fire and enjoy the view; and make some smores.The place was very isolated to the point we thought we were the only people there but there were other guests that I did not know about (which I think is a good thing! very private). Met them at breakfast. Some rooms are close by but I don't think it mattered. The place was surrounded by beautiful mountains. We went to stay for Big Bend National Park, but it felt like we didn't even have to go there. It was hard for us to find an accommodation that allows dogs. Our dogs really enjoyed Ten Bit Ranch as well. There was a paw friend named Cash but our dogs are anxious, but Cash was very friendly and understanding. I will definitely recommend it and go again!

The room was immaculate. Loved the continual communication and extra things to consider about the Big Bend area. Loved the communal kitchen at Ten Bits, with all the amenities that were available 24/7. The decor was gorgeous and fit the western theme, very cozy and inviting. Just like dining with family.

Great place and clean lodging. Enjoyed the view and walking the area. Did not use the communal cooking and dinning area. It would have been nice to have a place to eat inside our cabin. Some outdoor grills around the area to cook a steak or meal would be a welcome addition.

The room was very spacious and comfortable, with a major perk being the presence of a coffee machine and coffee capsules. The dining area was also well-equipped. The downsides were the lack of a soap dish in the bathroom and no storage space for clothes, which meant we had to keep everything in our suitcase on the floor.

Big Slice of Western Heaven
Cute rustic community created about 12 miles outside of Terlingua. My husband daughter and I stayed here while we explored the area and Bog Bend National park. It is a bit of a drive to the park each day, but we’ll worth it for the accommodations, solitude and views. The rooms were very spacious, clean and well stocked for our stay. We had plenty of towels, I 1 gallon jug of water, several bottles of water in the bathroom (water is not drinkable/potable way out there), a small Kerigue with K-pods, plenty of toilet paper, and small soaps and body wash setup. It was like a nice rustic hotel set up. We Enjoy the views every morning, and every night and took in the beautiful wildlife all around us. We saw bats, quail, a bobcat, roadrunner and various other animals. I would encourage you to take some bug/ant proof containers. Luckily, we were very prepared for this, because the ants were desperately looking for food and water. They were sneaking in every crack in the wall they could find. We sprayed a little bug spray at their route of entrance and kept our food and beverages sealed tight. This kept them at bay. If I could recommend one thing. It would be some form of storage or shelving to place items like our dry goods and such while lodging. Other than this, this place was perfect!! We definitely will stay again!!

Great location as long as you enjoy tranquility. The 2 mile dirt road into the property took me back to my childhood growing up in the country and the view from the porch is nothing short of majestic.

This was our 2nd stay at Ten Bits Ranch. This time we stayed in one of the units that were underconstruction during our first visit. Had a perfect unobstructed view of the west and Hen Egg Mountain from our front porch & caught beautiful sunsets and sunrise reflections off the clouds in the west. Highly recommend a stay at Ten Bits Ranch if you are visiting the Big Bend/Terlingua area.

The road in is bumpy and long, but other than that, nice property. Room was spacious, beds comfortable. Shower could have used a bit more water pressure but we understood that it was off grid. Enjoyed the look of an old western town.

Ten Bits is amazing!
This ranch should be a contender for "Ranch of the Year", it's that impressive and considering its location- its extremely impressive! The amount of amenities and overall set up of this property is incredible. We were able to take so many pictures, that are book worthy, without even leaving the property. We appreciate the parking area at the front of the property because when enjoying the overall feel and also taking pictures, it really helps not having a bunch of vehicles in the shots (no parking at your personal cabin, only to drop off your things) Take the advice serious about rain on the ranch road. If a rain does come, it will take about an hour or two to dry out so be mindful to respect the property and not get yourself stuck (there can be arrangements for 4x4 to help get you in/out of property in bad weather) We brought enough food for 3 meals a day for our stay to cook in the on-site cantina and grill area (sorry but you won't be calling in a pizza delivery here!) Be mindful that you are coming to a remote area in general. It's always wise to have plenty of water, food and fuel in your car at all times because things can happen. My wife and I are amazed at the establishment Sis and Cowboy have created. Us being Texans too, we tip our hat to Ten Bits Ranch!
