stunning desert palace on a hill
We love Big Bend country but the house was the real star of this trip. An adobe masterpiece that's as marvelous on the outside as it is inside. The home sits on a bluff overlooking the Rio Grande and the wild, beautiful terrain of the Sierra Del Carmen. Lots of wildlife to view in the morning and evening coming to drink from the river. We can't wait to return!

Amazing stay in Big Bend!
Such a lovely house with thoughtful hosts who anticipated every need! No way to describe the views, sunrises and sunsets from the patio. Loved sitting around the fire pit in the evening and visiting with friends. Great location with access to surrounding towns and the parks.

Big Bend with Friends
We booked Rio Bravo to bring our friends that have never experienced far west Texas before. The scenery in this remote location is breathtaking from sunrise to sunset to stargazing at night it was everything we hoped for. The adobe house set in the desert landscape is beautiful upon first glimpse as you navigate up the private caliche drive off River Road slightly up hill and finally making a hard left turn to approach the front door. There is a courtyard entry through iron gates to the front door. Love the Saltillo tiled floors leading to the wonderful living room/dining area/kitchen to the left of the house. The windows capture the most beautiful scenery throughout the house. The enormous covered patio with arched openings is accessed through the French doors in the dining area. You will find the large fire pit just beyond the patio where we were drawn to each evening. The two bedrooms are really one large master suite, fully appointed with adjoining master bath and one very small guest bedroom. The second bathroom also has the stacked washer/dryer in there making it feel more like a utility room. Since we were hosting, we gave the master suite to our friends. Just noting this because there is a big difference in comfort and experience in the sleeping arrangements if you are staying here as two couples. The kitchen is large and very well stocked with all you need for your stay. Communication was excellent throughout and overall, we had an unforgettable stay!

Great stay
The house was awesome…well furnished, clean, quiet and comfortable. Lauren was really responsive and great to deal with…easiest VRBO rental we’ve done. The house is in a great location for Big Bend State Park visits. A bit of a drive to Big Bend National Park, but the route along the river to get to Terlingua is a must do. Highly recommend!

Incredible views, incredible everything!
We stayed at Rio Bravo Ranch for my best friend’s bachelorette trip. What a truly amazing place! The views took our breath away the entire stay. We watched the sunrise every morning and sat out under the stars every night. Also, the beds were so comfortable. Communication with Lauren the host was fantastic. I can’t wait to come back! Thank you for sharing this home. One of the coolest places I’ve ever stayed!
