Home away from Home

Loved the cabin. Super cute decorated inside. Very well kept and equipped with all household items needed. Loved the outside area. Wrapped around porch with nice seating areas and even out in the dessert had a couple more chair areas to chill with your family and soak up the peace and quiet of the place. We all loved the view all day long. We had planned to go to Big Bend and my kids preferred to come back to the cabin and just enjoy the scenery and the peace. We look forward to coming back and visit this exact site. Thank you for providing such a cozy home with such beautiful views. Oh and the night sky is breathtaking.

A cool desert experience

We loved our stay at the Christmas Mountains Ranch! The cabin is exactly as pictured so clean, comfortable, and charming. They have many outdoor seating options to enjoy the scenery and stars! There is a full kitchen and gas grill plus a convenient restaurant, The Bad Rabbit, at the Terlingua Ranch which you pass through on way to cabin. The drive to The Maverick Entrance at Big Bend Nation park was about 1 hour from the cabin. The drive was worth the DARK sky! We definitely recommend staying here.

Peace and Quiet at Christmas Mountains Ranch

We loved our 10 night stay! The porch was beautiful and perfect for starry nights and peaceful days. There is lots of great furniture in multiple outdoor spots to enjoy the property.We were able to explore the Christmas mountains from the back door, and drive to BBNP and BBRSP for hiking. We found staying at the cabin was worth the lengthy drive.Bring spices and oil for cooking, the cookware and kitchen are great. We had a nice dinner and drinks at the terlingua ranch restaurant, too. Bring drinking water, although they do have an RO system.Everything is better than described, we loved our stay and hope to come back.

Relaxing and quiet

We have made coming out to Big Bend a yearly trip and decided to stay at Christmas Mountain this year. The cabin did not disappoint. The location was great and it was so peaceful and relaxing. We had such a great time relaxing on the patio and playing games and enjoying the stars at night.

Black-country derenity

The three days at this property definitely amounted to one of the most calming and fulfilling stays anywhere other than home. Just being able to see those stars so clearly took my breath away.

What an incredible place- beautiful landscape, restful vibe, very comfy ranch house, fantastic verandah/porch. Loved the walking path across the river bed to the chairs for scenic gazing. We had a great day out in Big Bend National Park. Spent two days at the ranch house because it was so restful and scenic.

Gorgeous & Peaceful!

Our stay at this cabin was absolutely perfect. The location is fairly remote, so the nights were quiet and the stargazing was phenomenal. It's over an hour away from the entrance to Big Bend NP, but I loved watching the sunset on the drive back to the cabin each night. I definitely did not want to leave this place and will, without hesitation, book this cabin if I'm ever out in that area again. Quite possibly the best place I've ever booked on VRBO.

Big Bend Getaway

The stay was great! The house is perfect for a four person trip. We went to Big Bend each day, while it was a little bit of a drive, it was worth it to stay in the nice home. The star gazing at night was incredible. The kitchen worked very well, we ate dinner at home every went. The house was clean and cozy. The only issue we had was we arrived in the dark and the directions did not say to go past the lodge, it took us awhile to figure it out there was a path past the lodge but we eventually did. I recommend arriving in the daylight to avoid this! I also recommend taking an SUV or larger to go through the gravel road.

Best porch ever

Nice, well maintained property with the most beautiful wrap around porch and outdoor dining area. Comfy Adirondack chairs perfect for star gazing and a ‘secret’ path meandering through the back of the property with stunning mountain views. Inside was comfortable with a great kitchen and cookware. The only reason for 4 stars on location is the distance to the parks.

Beautiful, quiet and remote location

We really enjoyed our week at this home. We thought it the perfect size for the two of us and loved the quiet and the sky at night. It was a bit of a drive to Big Bend National Park (at least an hour one way) but was worth it to stay in such a peaceful spot. The place was spotless when we arrived and the property managers were always prompt in replying and so helpful. We had a marvelous time!

The pictures don’t do this place any justice. The views on the property are amazing! The cabin was clean and everything functioned well. The night skies were majestic as you felt like you were in space if you starred long enough. We weren’t there long but it left a lasting impression. We will definitely be back for a longer stay.

Lovely scenic property

We had a wonderful stay at Christmas Mountains Ranch! The house was super clean, and the outdoor porches were amazing for watching sunrises and sunsets. The dirt road was totally do-able for our sedan, although we probably would have preferred to have been in an SUV. We highly recommend!

Location

The cabin is beautiful, modern with great views. We really enjoyed the cabin. I really hate to leave any type of a bad review for this place but I think you should know… We used the cabin as our base to go back and forth to Big Bend National Park and Terlingua. About a 45 minute drive total from the cabin. 30 minutes of the drive is off Hwy 118 to the cabin with 3 miles of it being an unpaved road that was like driving on a wash board, not very pleasant. So coming and going from the cabin can be very long. If you are staying at the cabin your entire stay you will love it.

Beautiful!

The pictures don't do it justice; this property is absolutely beautiful. Perfect for our family of 2 adults and 2 young boys. Definitely off the beaten path and you want to make sure you have a decent car/truck to drive the dirt road. But that adds to the charm of the location. Will definitely visit again. Our boys loved the 'washer game' and the trail. Thank you again.
