…………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. BIG BEND 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 Maggie a friendly burro who likes interacting with our guests, although you may have to share ( she is the worlds biggest beggar). Tarantula Ranch has two cabins. The four room cabin can sleep six and the one room cabin sleeps two. Both cabins have real “on the grid electricity”, hot showers, toilet, septic tanks that work, kitchens furnished with stove, refrigerator, hot plates, toaster, convection oven, coffee maker, microwave etc. At this time because of covid-19, linens and towels are not furnished. We have wifi and dish satellite tv with the movie channels, 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 which you can use for a small fee. Also near the Terlingua Ranch pool is the Bad Rabbit Restaurant (also about ten minutes away) that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. In that same area there is a pay laundry. Personally I wouldn’t use it, I’d just bring a change of clothes for every day of my vacation. With both cabins we can sleep a party of eight. 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, kitchenette, refrigerator, indoor shower and toilet, wifi and satellite tv. You will have to contact me regarding the availability of the detached cabin.Up on top of our western cliff we have a hot tub dug into the cliff and a deck that hangs out over that cliff for sun worshiping or just having a drink with sunset then listening for coyotes and finishing off the evening looking for shooting stars. About five minutes away I have a shooting range for target practiced or skeet only. THERE IS NO HUNTING!!! You are welcome to bring your guns and practice.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 Ghost Town 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). SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: DUE TO CORONA VIRUS-19 WE ARE SUSPENDING OUR SUBURBAN/JEEP TOURS FOR AWHILE. ALSO YOU WILL BE ASKED TO BRING YOUR OWN LINENS, PAPER PLATES, PLASTIC CUPS, FLATWARE ETC. SO AS TO NOT TO INFECT ANYONE WITH POORLY WASHED DISHES. I WILL GIVE YOU A COMPLETE LIST OF THINGS TO BRING WHEN I CALL YOU WITH DIRECTIONS.
