Rancho Mula Oso Home- Stunning Mountain Views, Desert Wildlife

My family (husband, wife, 3 kids) stayed at Rancho Mula Oso in November 2012. We found the home to be very clean and comfortable. We werein the area to visit Big Bend and we also enjoyed walking around the property as this environment was completely new to us. The home also has numerous books and artifacts from the area that the whole family found interesting. My kids really appreciated the wi-fi so they could keep up with social media when we were at the house as cell coverage in the area is spotty at best. We also had the opportunity to meet the property managers Janet and Daryl who were extremely nice people. They even offered restaurant recommendations and off the beaten path exploration ideas in Big Bend. If you're a family looking for a place to stay while visiting Big Bend don't even think twice about renting this ranch - you won't be disappointed.

One tip - if you arrive after dark or leave and return when it is dark make sure you find some landmarks where to turn off the main road. It took us several times to find the road without using the GPS.

My family (2 adults, 2 young children, 1 dog) stayed at the ranch for two nights in mid Feb, and it was great. The house had everything we needed, was extremely convenient to both the national and state parks, and was located in a nice private spot. We enjoyed taking walks around the property and the close proximity to Terlingua when we wanted to eat out. We would definitely stay here again.

We just got back from spending 5 days at "The Ranch". My brother and his family met us there. The Erby's made us feel very welcome. We've stayed at a lot of places in Big Bend. We liked this much better as it felt like home. We could do our laundry and cook our own meals. To us, eating out for 5 days straight kind of gets old.

The place was very clean. We enjoyed the land surrounding the house and the privacy. We even hiked up the mountain in the back yard for some excitement.

During our stay we mostly hiked in Big Bend, and visited the establishments in Study Butte and Terlingua. We went out to dinner one night and went to the Starlight Theater in Terlingua. The food and atmosphere were both very good.

All in all we love to visit Big Bend every few years and we're from St. Louis. If visiting again, we would definitely come back to our ranch in Big Bend.
