About this property

Big Bend Lodging at Ten Bits Ranch | Room #9 (Barber 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 the 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.

Super cool place

Ten Bits was a really neat place. Felt like walking into an old western movie but having all the modern amenities. Comfortable room with unbelievable views from the back porch. Sis was very responsive. Loved having access to a nice kitchen and dining area, although need an update on some pans. 10 minutes from Terlingua and about a 45-60 minute drive to the main part of Beg Bend park but easy, beautiful drive. Great place for group vacations. Don’t go during the summer.

Big Bend experience

We loved the quiet location with a great view! The fire pit, sunsets, and star gazing were great. We were not able to get the gas logs inside to start. Our neighbors had similar issues and once started did not stay lit for very long. This was our only issue and was minor in the overall syay.

Highlight of Our Stay in Texas!

Absolutely beautiful location! The location views and landscape are incredible!! This is not a resort but Sis has done great work to add comfort to this rugged terrain. The cottage (we stayed in the Barber Shop) is spacious, comfortable and attractively designed. We will definitely keep this property as a favorite and try to visit with our sons and grandchildren. Sis is a great host and responsive via text, phone calls and through the website. Thank you for your hospitality!

Cute place but so dirty we couldn’t enjoy.

We stayed two nights at the property. Overall i would not recommend staying here unless something with their process changes. The rooms are so cute and I was so excited when we got there, but we unfortunately the room was so gross and dirty. Dead bugs were everywhere, someone else’s hair on the pillows, sheets smelled dirty., the windows don’t look like they have ever seen windex . The place was so grimy that my partner who is allergic to dust mites was in hives most of the time we were in the room. We did reach out to “Sis” she offered us a new room- unfortunately the same issues were in the new room except we found dead bugs in the bed…. We ended up going to the local general store and spent $30 on cleaning supplies. We got it as clean as we could so we could just sleep there as there weren’t very many good options for places to stay. If this place was cleaned properly I would ABSOLUTELY recommend it. Like I said such a cute idea.

About the host

Hosted by Sis

Host profile image
Fell in love with the freedom, open spaces and beautiful views on a visit to Big Bend...never left. The Barber Shop Room #9 was built in 2023 as a new addition to Ten Bits Ranch.

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location...perfect night sky viewing, craggy red rocks and mountains surround the guest rooms.

What makes this property unique

550 private acres to hike & explore. Completely off grid property (100% solar powered) with almost no ground lights and some of the darkest night skies in the Big Bend Region. On low moon (dark sky) nights, the stars will surround you like a blanket.
