1 Bedroom Cabin in Alpine, Terlingua

IF YOU ARE A SINGLE TRAVELER OR COUPLE I HAVE LODGING AVAILABLE IN THE SMALL CABIN. IT HAS A QUEEN BED,SATELLITE TV,HOT SHOWER, PRIVATE INDOOR TOILET AND KITCHEN JUST TO NAME A FEW AMENENITES.
............Spectacular mountain views and great sunsets Tarantula Ranch is located over a hill about two miles from the nearest paved road." Experience life at the end of the road" inside a 320 acre compound. Tarantula Ranch sharpens your senses,the wildlife,the views,the smells,peace and quiet and of course the stars. TARANTULA RANCH has some of the darkest skies in the world. In the warm months its nice to sit on the front porch and have coffee with Billy and Maggie two friendly burros who like interacting with our guests,although you may have to share (they are the worlds biggest beggars). Tarantula Ranch has two cabins.The four room cabin can sleep six and the one room cabin sleeps two( although i did have a family of two adults and three children stay there a few times for a week). Both cabins have real "on the grid electricity",hot showers, toilet,septic tanks that work,kitchens furnished with stove,refrigerator,hot plates,convection oven, coffee maker,microwave etc.All linens and towels are furnished.We also have wifi and direct satellite tv with hbo and showtime,propane gas heaters for winter and refrigerated air conditioning for summer. We are about ten minutes from one of the prettiest swimming pools in Brewster county, Texas. With both cabins we can sleep a party of eight(although i have had ten there a few times but someone will have to sleep on a blow-up mattress or sleeping bag on the floor.) If you are only one person traveling alone or a couple and the large cabin is rented by someone else you can rent the detached cabin as a separate party. The detached cabin has a queen size bed,kitchen,indoor shower and toilet and satellite tv. You will have to contact me regarding the availability of the detached cabin. In addition to property here at the compound Tarantula Ranch llc also has other properties in the area. One in particular is at a lower elevation (warmer) for our winter time sunworshipers. It's common to have 75 to 80 degree days there in the winter. That property also has pictographs both Indian and Spanish. I have a jeep and a 4 wheel drive suburban that i can take people on a tour to my various properties to see how people have lived in the Big Bend from 8000 years to present with a little geology thrown in. You can sign up for that when you make reservations.If you are a golfer, as a member of The Lajatas Country Club, i can save you 20% off your green fee. At the end of a day of playing in the big bend it's nice to kick back with a drink in our hot tub that sits on a cliff facing west, listening for coyotes and looking for shooting stars. We also have an observation deck that hangs out over that same western cliff that the hot tub is on. The big bend has some of the darkest skies in the world. Here at Tarantula Ranch you are an easy drive( by west Texas standards) to all the tourist attractions in the area,the national park, the state park,river rafting outfitters,horseback riding,jeep tours and the Terlingua ghosttown where good food, good drinks,good music and good times are alive and well.
Keywords: remote,spectacular vistas,friendly burros and horse will interact with you,wide open spaces, great sunrises and sunsets.Also since we have real electricity we can offer all the electric appliances you need to make your stay comfortable, refrigerated air conditioning,kitchen appliances,satellite television.You will NOT have to walk across a parking lot or drive miles to use the restroom and shower.We have indoor plumbing!!!~ Also we have no traffic since we are more than two miles away from the nearest paved road AND inside a compound. Oh and you don't have to sleep on the ground in a tent (unless you want to). Some people have asked me to send them a photo of the interior of the small cabin. I can't. I'm not that good with computers so it will be awhile before i spend a day on hold with vrbo trying to get assistance on how to send a photo. I will try and give you a mental picture..... The small cabin has just recently been remodeled so there shouldn't be any roofs that fall in on you or a floor that caves in around your knee. Now, having said that, try and picture a box from the inside ..... four walls,one floor, one ceiling. Now picture a queen size bed inside the box (your eyes are getting heavy...) you are laying on the bed going slowly to sleep..... NOW this what it's like to stay in a room whether its the Hyatt on Wacker Street & Michigan Ave. in downtown Chicago or in the mountain wilderness of the Big Bend. They both keep the rain off and the coyotes out (as long as you keep the door closed). Look forward to meeting you, curt NOTE: DUE TO CORONA VIRUS-19 WE WILL BE SUSPENDING OUR JEEP/SUBURBAN TOURS AND GOLF DISCOUNTS.WE WILL BE ASKING YOU YOU TO SUPPLY YOUR OWN LINENS PAPER PLATES, PLASTIC CUPS, FLATWARE ETC. I WILL BE GIVING YOU A COMPLETE LIST WHEN I CALL YOU TO GIVE YOU DIRECTIONS.

Summary: This small cabin was a great place to see the stars at night, to visit Terlingua, and Big Bend. The owner answered all questions and gave an easy detail how to get there. Curt was friendly and I enjoyed my time there. If I return in fall will try and reserve here again.

Summary: For someone who truly wants to get away, especially with pets, this is the place to go. Curt was very friendly and honesy about the accommodations. He loves animals and was very kind to my dog. Maggie the burro was also a very charming and curious host, stopping by our cabin on a few occasions to visit.

Summary: It's advertised as rustic and it is. Bring your own everything but the bed the kitchen the dining table and chairs and the bathroom. We were pleasantly surprised by the hot water, plenty and hot! Bring linens towels drinking water and food (there's no restaurants within a hundred miles!) The bed was surprisingly really comfortable, we were expecting something a little more primitive but it was great. There's a burro, Maggie, that loves apples carrots crackers and chips! The kids in the other cabin loved her. She likes to be nosy. We loved her too. It's at the end of a dirt road so be prepared to do a little driving. We have a 2021 Cadillac which was fine. The sunsets and nights and sunrises are simply amazing. The air is so crisp and fresh it made me dizzy!

Summary: The small cabin was just right for my wife and I and our 2 chihuahuas. We went with this property because of the private shower and restroom and sat tv because we can’t sleep without a tv. Lol. The place is remote and up on a mountain with great views and sun sets and Kurt the host is a friendly and fun guy to talk to.
