10/10 Exceptional

Cabin was nice my view was excellent especially at night the stars and the area was very quiet. The Cafe was awesome staff and live music very enjoyable. The only thing I did not like was the travel distance from the road to the ranch and the entrance to the Big Bend.

Communication and customer service was great. We were instructed.clearly on how to get there, we were able to get to our cabin after the office closed with no issues. The lodge was very cute and very clean. The pool and pool area was also kept clean and the staff at the restaurant was very friendly. Quiet, laid back, and beautiful at night.

I was presently surprised to learn the Heritage and History of the place and had no clue that famed racing driver Carrol Shelby and Dave Witts were the founders. Staff was awesome. There was a nice hiking trail right behind our cabin. Would definitely recommend.
