Hidden gem all to yourself!

Extremely peaceful property on our way to visit Big Bend. The owner thought of every convenience to ensure a wonderful vacation. Our favorite was the outdoor area and all the windows to enjoy the beautiful night sky and morning view for miles.

Cosy

We were not at the house much but when we were we found it to be perfect. Loved the speakers in and outside. Kids loved the hammock. It was perfect for what we needed. Thank you!

Warm getaway

It was the perfect place to stay to enjoy hiking and sightseeing. A bit of a drive to the good spots but such a relaxing place when you get back. The description was spot on!

It was unseasonably cold, but adequate heat options were available. It would’ve been nice to have more time and better weather to enjoy the property

Peaceful

I found the accommodations to be very well thought out and comfortable. Everything was clean and in good working order. Watching the stars, the sunrises and the sunsets was a pleasure. It is also close to Big Bend and Fort Davis. The Gage Gardens are beautiful.

Another great stay at Sunset Ranch

My husband and I stayed at Sunset Ranch in 2020 and had a great stay...so much so we booked it again. This place is located in the neighborhood but feels very secluded on the acre lot and you're facing an open plain with a beautiful view and a great opportunity to catch some amazing sunsets. This place is well appointed throughout, too many great things to list. The listing gives a great detailed description. We appreciate the builtin indoor/outdoor speakers, dark roast coffee beans, great lighting, usb plugins, comfy bed, and a great shower! Thank you Jim for creating a great gem of a place to stay at. We hope to return again in the future!

Marathon casita

Amazing place! Small, quaint house, but it was enough space for 2 adults and our little ones. Loved the Bluetooth speaker set up through out the house and outside in the patio. Made s'mores in the chimenea both nights, that our kiddos loved. Couldn't see stars because of overcast weather, but thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Will definitely return to this hidden gem 😁
