Ringtail Cabin is an ideal vacation rental for budget minded visitors, anyone wanting to conserve fossil fuels, or anyone needing access for a low clearance vehicle or motorcycle.

Enjoy the mountain views, amazing sunrises, spectacular sunsets, and stunning starry skies from the Ringtail property, or drive into the nearby parks, Terlingua, or the Ghost-Town for all the adventure and entertainment that the Big Bend has to offer.

The Neighborhood:
TERLINGUA RANCH: Located between Big Bend National Park and Big Bend Ranch State Park and including much of the town of Terlingua, Terlingua Ranch is a private subdivision of over 190,000 acres, divided into 9,500 tracts owned by about 5,000 individuals and crisscrossed by 1,100 miles of dirt and rock roads. Tracts range from five acres to several hundred acres. It is some of the most rugged and scenic land in Texas.

Back in the 1960’s, the Ghost Town and much of what later became “Terlingua Ranch” was owned by racing legend and car designer extraordinaire, Carol Shelby and some of his friends. The decided to promote the area by holding a chili cook-off in the then abandoned Ghost Town. That little stunt of a cook-off grew into CASI (Chili Appreciation Society International) which now hosts nearly 500 chili cook-offs around the nation and internationally, all leading up the championship cook-off every year in Terlingua. Shelby and friends later subdivided the Ranch and started selling it off to hunters and rugged naturalists. Over the decades, the area was reborn and an eclectic community of nature lovers, artists, musicians, adventurers, and folks just wanting to escape from “civilization” has grown and started to resettle this rough country.

People have come and gone. New buildings have risen while others have fallen, Dreams have been realized and others crushed. Through it all, the land remains. The harsh desert and vast openness encourages positive development and slowly swallows up and recovers from past abuses. The old cinnabar mine sites and ranching outposts persist as relics and ghost towns, some redeveloped, some carefully preserved, and others dissolving back into the desert. Abandoned dreams eventually become points of interests for those of us that stumble upon them decades later. Terlingua Ranch is a bizarre mix of old and new, good and bad, growth and decline, all completely unregulated. Modern homes with high values and stunning designs stand beside dilapidated do-it-yourself mistakes and abandoned ruins of the 1800’s and early 1900’s.

The landscape is even more varied than the people and the structures. Rugged mountains, deep canyons, wild arroyos, dry and wet creeks, peaceful valleys, breathtaking badlands, moonscape like mud flats, the remains of ancient volcanoes, and fossilized ancient seabeds. All of it nurturing a vast array of plant life and wildlife. Around every corner and over every hill lies new and unexpected surprises.

The Ranch is now home to a few hundred hardy souls. It is also dotted with a diverse array of vacation rental lodging options and campsites. Like the diverse land, they range in quality, style, value, and price. A few are amazing dream destinations. Some are good places to sleep. Others are the stuff of nightmares. (We don’t manage any in the nightmare category.)

Big Bend Vacation Rentals started out in 2007 and initially managed three of the first four vacation rentals in the Terlingua and Terlingua Ranch area. We now manage dozens out of a couple of hundred options. We represent dozens of property owners and have hosted tens of thousands of guests. You can trust us as managers, and you can rely on the properties that we manage. We have become very selective about the properties and the property owners that we add to our portfolio.

Interaction with Guests:
We manage several properties and live few miles away. We are available by phone, text, email, or messages through Airbnb. We are typically only on site for cleaning or maintenance issues.

A Great Stay in a Well-Appointed Cabin

We stayed at Ringtail Cabin for 4 nights. It was even more spacious than I expected from the listing. The bathroom is quite large. The kitchen has everything you need. The views and vibe outside were spectacular. (If you want to see the milky way, go when it's a new moon. There was a beautiful full moon during our stay.)The shower was instantly hot. The cooling system worked great for us and was not needed at night. (You may want a small fan for the bedroom.) The bed was firm. The communication with the hosts was perfect. Just make sure you have the entry instructions saved before you leave because you won't have wifi on your phone anywhere near the cabin until you get in and connect to theirs.Terlingua Ranch worked well for us to do several day visits to Big Bend National Park, as well as into the town of Terlingua. This whole area is beautiful, infinitely interesting, and worth a visit! Overall, a perfect cabin for our needs and had every comfort.

A lovely desert hideaway

We enjoyed the quiet and the spectacular starry sky at night. The place was clean and comfortable. Hosts were easy to communicate with and responsive. Mattress is memory foam and very comfy. We spent our days at the Big Bend Park. It’s about 20 miles to Terlingua and then a few more miles to the park.

Week in Big Bend

This property is a gem. The location is perfect. A short drive into town and to the National Park. Great view of the stars. We were greeted by a roadrunner as we pulled up. At night we would see javelinas outside and an unbelievable amount of stars. There is a cafe up the road with great food and cold beer. We will definitely return for another trip.

Excellent instructions and useful information provided by the host. Enjoyed the peace and quiet in the evenings, sleeping with all windows open, listening to the wind, watching the stars, eating my breakfast and dinner on the front steps. Great minimalist experience. I recommend the place.

Lovely place for stargazing

We loved our stay here. It can feel warm when you enter for the first time, but there is some kind of special cooling system. It did make some noise. We preferred the cooling of the night and set the windows open. The kitchen was well equipped. We would have stayed longer if we were not on a schedule. At night we could see many stars. It was romantic.

Just the BEST cabin

We were visiting Big Bend and wanted a place close but still had privacy and solitude. This cabin exceeded on all accounts. It has all the needed conveniences: living room with sitting space, full kitchen with basics for cooking and meal prep, great bathroom/shower space, and a comfortable bed. Our trip was the week before Thanksgiving so HVAC wasn’t needed. Covered parking was provided and would be great for summer. Directions provided were from Alpine but can easily reach from Terlingua as well. Entrance access worked flawlessly and internet was fantastic. Highly recommend this location if you are visiting Terlingua or the Big Bend area!!! Terlingua is about 15-20 min and has fantastic restaurants, shopping, and gas.

If you're like me and anxious about booking this stay: do it!!!! My boyfriend talked me into this, and I'm so glad we did! It was a great change of pace from the other hotels we stayed in during our roadtrip. The cabin was clean and well stocked, the directions provided ahead of time got us there with no troubles, and the views and star gazing were absolutely incredible. We'll be back!

Hidden Little Gem

I recently stayed in this cabin and will sun up by stat by saying I had absolutely ZERO issues with this accommodation. Do not be fooled by the price, this cabin is clean, nicely appointed, and has everything you would need or would want for your stay. For those who do not own a truck or SUV like myself, this cabin is accessible by car, so you do not need to waste money on rental truck/SUV like you might with some other properties in the area. Lastly, as is typical with Daryl and Janet, they are extremely responsive and ensure that everything is clean, ready, and functioning, and they genuinely want to ensure that guests enjoy their stay. I definitely recommend this property and would stay here again.

Big Bend visit

We really enjoyed our stay at the property even though we were gone most of the day(s). The evenings were beautiful with the dark sky that gave a great view of the stars. The only drawback was that it was a long drive to Big Bend from the cabin….about 20 miles or so. However, if you like the solitude, then this is the place for you. We would stay again.

Perfectly Imperfect

This property was perfect for my friends and I, who came down to Terlingua to hike at Big Bend. It was just isolated enough to give the impression of "being out in nature", but close enough to the town to make sure all our needs were properly met. It's far from luxurious, but I assume if you're coming down here it's to get that 'down to the roots' feeling.

Great Stay

This was a great place to hike Big Bend or visit Terlingua. I know people have talked about the drive but it truly wasn't bad., There isn't any traffic (at least in Nov). It was pretty great The house maybe could use a new couch but it is very dusty there so I understand why you would not have great furniture there. We were using it for a place to shower, eat and sleep for the most part. It met my needs and I loved to sit out on the front step and have a beer and watch the sunset. I drove to the park every day and it was absolutely amazing. I appreciate the use of the house. If you want to visit big bend this is a great option!

Our third stay @Ringtail cabin

This was our third and probably last visit to Ringtail cabin. The location is great-no neighbors nearby, so it's quiet and peaceful. The cabin was clean, plenty of basic needs too. Our only issue was the futon and the bed. The futon has been replaced with a very small sofa of sorts. It is not comfortable seating and I feel sorry for anyone who has to sleep on it. The bed (mattress) is showing it's age- not much support left, definitely not comfortable anymore.
