JAIL | BIG BEND STATE PARK LODGING
The Jail is one of our Standard single king rooms and a perfect option if you’re seeking Big Bend State Park lodging. This room has a flat screen HD TV (Dish Network), a private bath, WiFi, air conditioning, mini-fridge, and microwave. The Jail is the original building of the Ten Bits Ranch western town. It was originally an adobe hunting cabin and is the smallest of our standard king rooms. Along with the Jail, Ten Bits Ranch has a Bank, Schoolhouse, Gun Shop, General Store, Steakhouse, Hattery, Gazette, Courthouse, Saloon, Hotel, Barber Shop, Mercantile, Harness Shop, and Blacksmith.
The Jail is part of a quad-plex with the Saloon, Freight Office, and Bath House rooms. The Jail has double-connecting doors with the Saloon that can provide an excellent option for groups to have connecting rooms. If you’d like to make a group reservation for two or three rooms, please book the Jail and Saloon during your reservation. Please note that some noise could be heard through the double doors which connect the adjoining rooms.
Guests may have a complimentary self-serve continental breakfast or prepare your own meal 24/7 in the fully equipped guest kitchen and dining area in the shared Cantina space. The Ten Bits Ranch Cantina is a unique and enjoyable part of your experience at Ten Bits Ranch. Your room access code will allow you access to the Cantina. Guests will find a simple self-serve continental breakfast. There is also a large dining area and full-kitchen in the Cantina. Three full-size refrigerators and two stoves and oven are available for all guests to use during their stay. Out back of the Cantina, you will also find two propane grills for your use. Pots and pans, dishes, and basic utensils are provided for use during your stay at Ten Bits Ranch.

Imagine a day exploring the Chihuahuan desert. Perhaps you prefer a simple hike through the desert trails.

Ten Bits Ranch has everything that you need to be comfortable (WiFi, air conditioning, electric heat, satellite television). The entire property is off grid and powered by the one of the largest (57.6 kW) privately owned solar power systems in Texas.
Experience REAL West Texas, off-grid living with our Big Bend State Park lodging with your own off-grid oasis and a 550-acre private park. Hike and explore right outside your room. Hike with your pet, bring your ATV or motorcycle, build a fire, visit our shooting range, hike to the Apache Indian cave or just have a drink, smoke a cigar or read a book on the porch or by the firepit and enjoy the beautiful mountains on the hotel property. Let the hundreds of acres and nearly complete freedom create your unique Big Bend experience with our Big Bend State Park lodging.
Ten Bits Ranch has some of the best views of the famous Big Bend stars. Since Ten Bits Ranch is completely off grid and located on 550 private acres, there are no close neighbors and no ground lights to obscure the perfectly dark night sky. The amazing solitude is extremely quiet and peaceful day or night. If you come to Ten Bits Ranch when the moon cycle is low (dark), after 20 minutes (for your eyes to adjust), the stars at Ten Bits Ranch will appear to surround you like a blanket. Be sure to watch for shooting stars. There is a shooting star in view at Ten Bits Ranch almost every week. Ten Bits Ranch offers a truly private, unique, off grid, dark sky star gazing experience that few people have the opportunity to see in person. The craggy Chimney Rock Mountain on Ten Bits Ranch blocks out a beautiful black jagged silhouette in the blanket of stars.
Well-behaved pets are welcome at Ten Bits Ranch. Hike and explore at your leisure with both your two- and four-legged friends. Thank you for considering Ten Bits Ranch for your Big Bend Adventure. Wherever you choose to stay, the Big Bend area is a wild, unique and a truly beautiful place that is well worth the trip.
