Christmas Mountains Ranch: Classic 2br/1bth Cabin with Spacious Wrap Around Porc

Summary:
Christmas Mountains Ranch is the perfect home away from home for experienced or first-time visitors to the Big Bend Region of southwest Texas. Just a half mile from the restaurant at Terlingua Ranch Lodge. Located between the lodge and the Christmas Mountains, this vacation rental cabin with 65 acres offers solitude, adventure, and convenience.

Solitude comes easy with plenty of space to get away from everyday life and crowds. No city noise or congestion, no close neighbors, and no traffic. Just the solitude of the remote Chihuahuan Desert and the Christmas Mountains. Plenty of wildlife and diverse desert plant life. We even have trees along the arroyo out back. Relax inside, with air-conditioning, comfortable, and attractive furnishings, and modern fixtures. Enjoy all day shade and 24-hour views from the comfort of the wrap around cover decks, furnished with chairs, tables, lighting, and a grill.

Adventure is in abundance with the rugged and dynamic desert landscape. Follow the marked trail down to the arroyo and watch for birds and other wildlife. Enjoy the crystal-clear water of the Terlingua Ranch pool. Hike or drive (4WD) through the Christmas Mountains (register for free access at the Terlingua Ranch Lodge) for breathtaking views. That’s all in the immediate neighborhood. Drive a little further and take in all the wonders of Big Bend National Park, Big Bend Ranch State Park, Rio Grande River or the Terlingua Ghost Town. Local adventure outfitters offer river trips, jeep tours, guided hikes, bike rentals, horseback riding, sightseeing tours, and more.

Convenience is provided with WiFi, modern appliances, full bathroom, comfortable lodging and lodge restaurant. While the last four miles of roads are dirt, they are well maintained and easily driven by a typical car, without any need for high clearance or 4WD. We also provide easy reservation service and clear communication plus quick local service if there is ever a question, concern, or problem.

As an added bit of adventure and convenience, we even provide the option for you to fly in. The Terlingua Ranch airstrip is just a short walk away and can accommodate small private planes. Don’t worry about the noise, the strip is rarely used and only during daylight hours.

While the Big Bend region offers a wide range of lodging options for our visitors, very few vacation rentals can compare to Christmas Mountains Ranch as all-around great place to stay. The owners have taken great care to build and furnish a home base for their Big Bend visits. It was completed in 2020 and graciously opened up for others to enjoy. Our team at Big Bend Vacation Rentals is proud to manage it. As the one of the longest serving and the most established vacation rental management provider in the Terlingua Area, we are eager to serve as your host.

The Neighborhood:
TERLINGUA RANCH: Located between Big Bend National Park and Big Bend Ranch State Park and including much of the town of Terlingua, Terlingua Ranch is a private subdivision of over 190,000 acres, divided into 9,500 tracts owned by about 5,000 individuals and crisscrossed by 1,100 miles of dirt and rock roads. Tracts range from five acres to several hundred acres. It is some of the most rugged and scenic land in Texas.

Back in the 1960’s, the Ghost Town and much of what later became “Terlingua Ranch” was owned by racing legend and car designer extraordinaire, Carol Shelby and some of his friends. The decided to promote the area by holding a chili cook-off in the then abandoned Ghost Town. That little stunt of a cook-off grew into CASI (Chili Appreciation Society International) which now hosts nearly 500 chili cook-offs around the nation and internationally, all leading up the championship cook-off every year in Terlingua. Shelby and friends later subdivided the Ranch and started selling it off to hunters and rugged naturalists. Over the decades, the area was reborn and an eclectic community of nature lovers, artists, musicians, adventurers, and folks just wanting to escape from “civilization” has grown and started to resettle this rough country.

People have come and gone. New buildings have risen while others have fallen, Dreams have been realized and others crushed. Through it all, the land remains. The harsh desert and vast openness encourages positive development and slowly swallows up and recovers from past abuses. The old cinnabar mine sites and ranching outposts persist as relics and ghost towns, some redeveloped, some carefully preserved, and others dissolving back into the desert. Abandoned dreams eventually become points of interests for those of us that stumble upon them decades later. Terlingua Ranch is a bizarre mix of old and new, good and bad, growth and decline, all completely unregulated. Modern homes with high values and stunning designs stand beside dilapidated do-it-yourself mistakes and abandoned ruins of the 1800’s and early 1900’s.

The landscape is even more varied than the people and the structures. Rugged mountains, deep canyons, wild arroyos, dry and wet creeks, peaceful valleys, breathtaking badlands, moonscape like mud flats, the remains of ancient volcanoes, and fossilized ancient seabeds. All of it nurturing a vast array of plant life and wildlife. Around every corner and over every hill lies new and unexpected surprises.

The Ranch is now home to a few hundred hardy souls. It is also dotted with a diverse array of vacation rental lodging options and campsites. Like the diverse land, they range in quality, style, value, and price. A few are amazing dream destinations. Some are good places to sleep. Others are the stuff of nightmares. (We don’t manage any in the nightmare category.)

Big Bend Vacation Rentals started out in 2007 and initially managed three of the first four vacation rentals in the Terlingua and Terlingua Ranch area. We now manage dozens out of a couple of hundred options. We represent dozens of property owners and have hosted tens of thousands of guests. You can trust us as managers, and you can rely on the properties that we manage. We have become very selective about the properties and the property owners that we add to our portfolio.

From Christmas Mountains Ranch it will take you approximately 45 minutes to get to the west entrance of the Big Bend National Park.

Interaction with Guests:

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.

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.

This is my 2nd trip to this cabin, and just like the first visit — it was absolutely magical. The wrap around porch is phenomenal, providing 360 degree views of the desert mountains. The cabin is clean and has everything you need: The wifi is good and there’s a nice smart TV where you can stream your favorite shows/movies. And the bed was also very comfortable. But my absolute favorite part of this stunning property is the long path out back that guides you into the desert. Words can’t describe it
you just have to experience it for yourself. And the remoteness of this property (particularly behind the cabin) is mind blowing. I’ve spent a total of 5 days (6 nights) on the property, much of it exploring the desert behind the cabin, and I didn’t see a single human. Just desert as far as the eye could see.This cabin is one of my favorite places on the planet. I’ll be back.

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.

If you want to be waaaaay out, off the grid, in an amazing cabin with all the amenities, this is your place! Fantastic porch and property, sandwiched between several mountains. Way off the beaten path.

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.

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.

Been ;looking for several years to get to Big Bend area for Dark Skies. The trip met every expectation starting with the Christmas House. Plenty of space to enjoy the property without worrying about any neighbors. We planned the trip for October hoping to get cooler temps, but didn't happen. That was ok b/c the night time was the "star" of the trip. Solar walk path was neat, but flashlights are required. Can't say too much about the local resort pool as we didn't use that. The Bad Rabbit on the other hand was disappointing to say the least. Plan your dinner in Terlingua and skip the Rabbit. I highly recommend the property for anyone looking for a quite and comfortable stay.

Booked the home for 4 nights with my 2 brothers. Wanted something private and with views and got just that. Home was newer and very clean - a/c was on when we arrived (nice since July). You will not be disappointed with the views! Lots of windows and lots of views! The outdoor patios extend from front to back making it easy to stay in the shade any time of day. Owner put in a lot of work to build a trail to an additional seating area far from the home - was great. Saw lots of local wildlife. Definitely recommend if you are looking for quiet, beautiful seclusion in a clean modern home. Will be going back.

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.

We didn't much like the distance from 118 but that is what it is. Otherwise, we liked it a lot. The trail and chairs outside were an unexpected pleasure. The deck and speakers were great. This time of year worked out very well since so many cactus species were blooming. The cabin was very comfortable. We had a couple issues with maintenance and one of them was fixed a couple days in. Well stocked kitchen with utensils, pans and glasses. The grill was nice but we were only able to use it once because of the wind. Of course, the roads were not too great but I didn't really care. I lived in the country for 65 years and had no issue driving them. The local paved road was exceptionally smooth. Overall, we would highly recommend this cabin for anyone unless someone is driving a sports car. Plus for those not wanting to cook, the nearby restaurant is a big plus.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Loved this property so much!! Wraparound porch with spectacular views on all sides, and lots of comfortable outdoor seating. Lots of space to walk around and explore surrounding desert. Terlingua Ranch Lodge only about a mile away with properties in sight, but far enough that it does not disrupt the feeling of wilderness. Both beds comfortable with plenty of soft blankets and good quality pillows. The pull out couch is not comfortable at all, which was not a problem for us. It’s a long 25 min drive down Ranch Rd back to 118, if that’s a problem for you (we didn’t mind). So about an hour to Big Bend Nat Park. WiFi worked well. Kitchen well stocked for cooking simple meals.

Loved the wrap-around porch and views. Very comfortable and well-supplied. Nice to have the BBQ grill and big screen TV (for streaming) in the evenings. It was great to watch the gorgeous sunrises from the front porch. The last 3-4 miles to the house are on a washboard dirt/gravel road, which makes it a pain to get to and from, but even with that, it is only about 40-45 minutes to the entrance of Big Bend National Park. The hosts were very responsive and gracious. The Master bedroom is roomy and comfortable, and it has a closet and chest of drawers. A caution about the 2nd bedroom if you have 3 or 4 adults, however. It is very small so the bed fills most of the space, making it somewhat difficult to maneuver, and there is no closet in there, just a small chest of drawers.

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.
