Had a wonderful time out at black cat ranch Bob was a wonderful host. The night views and peace and quiet are amazing. Plus waking up to the birds in the morning was like something out of a book.

We loved our stay at this rental! Owners have made excellent use of the small floor plan and the cabin is stocked with all the basics. The outdoor kitchen is a great addition. Bob gave us great directions to get to the cabin and we enjoyed the quiet, more remote location. In the morning you can watch the birds at the feeders and there’s excellent star gazing at night. Would gladly stay here again!

The space was clean. View spectacular. Due to eating a few meals at the location dishes were a little complicated with the sink being in a different building. Overall great stay! Host was kind and super easy to get in touch with.

Great remote getaway

Great spot for spending time in the Big Bend/Terlingua area. All the creature comforts you would want but none of the crowds. Was very clean and very well stocked with a great porch to hang out on in the evenings.
