Owner/manager is geologist/paleontologist with Big Bend NP connections; knowledge of area and activities and willingness to share, including access to 500 plus acres desert property increased pleasure of trip. Facility less than 10 years old with full amenities; being off the electric grid gave a sense of adventure without diminuation of comfort. Big Bend area is huge even by Texas... more

We stayed at the ranch for 3 nights and thought it was the best place we stayed in the whole of Texas. If you want a break from the average motel when you are roadtripping and like a different experience then this is the place for you. I won't go over the facilties because other reviewers have done a grand... more

We had a wonderful time at Ten Bits Ranch. Steve and Jenny went out of their way to make us feel at home at their unique hotel. They gave great advice on hikes, adventure tours, and restaurants. Our rooms were spotlessly clean and very well maintained. When it became a bit cool one evening, Jenny and Steve quickly came over... more

Had a great time. Rooms were spacious and beautifully decorated. View and surrounding country you have to see to believe. If you want off the beaten path and away from the other "tourist and visitors" you have found the right place. 4 rooms/cabins, by themselves just 2 miles off of 118 will give you all the peace, quiet, and tranquility... more

Every other year, I take my daughter on a father/daughter outing. It's our time together. My job had me traveling most of her growing up years and I really missed it. She is 29 years old and married now. We wanted to dig for bones. We looked and really liked the idea of Ten Bits Ranch. It took us 5... more

We stayed at the Ten Bits Ranch in April 2009 and simply loved the place. We initially wanted to stay at the Lajitas Resort but decided we wanted to stay at a more solitary place closer to Big Bend. Due to the fact that the Chisos Mountain Lodge was already fully booked out in December 2008, we needed an alternative.... more

Although only a short two night stay, Ten Bits was one of the highlights of a month in the States taking in parts of Ca, Tx and NC. The rooms were comfortable and clean, Steve and Jennifer were friendly and welcoming and the scenery was to die for (or in, if you don't take on enough water). THE place to... more

This was our third trip to Ten Bits Ranch, and I think it may have been the best one yet. The weather was perfect, and the only other times I have seen this many stars was on previous trips to Ten Bits. The view in every direction is outstanding. It is easy to see why Steve and Jennifer chose this... more

we expected comfortable, friendly innkeepers, not those who bragged about raising the price 25% to $200/night for Spring Break and complained about prior problems with guests who cancelled. The ranch iseco-friendly, isolated and quirky, could be great fun with charming owners. Breakfast food was from Sam's club. more

Management response from
Tenbitsranch, Owner

We sometimes have conversations with guests as to what it's like to run our unique facility. I normally don't offer that kind of information to a guest unless they specifically ask. I don't recall seeming unhappy - just honest - which you must have interpreted incorrectly. As for our high season rate...we charge more as demand goes up. It's not...
