It was such an awesome experience.

It was so scary but also well worth it once you're at the top. Evo was such an awesome guy and laidback and Azul was such a sweet horse. I definitely recommend doing this if you're ever in Big Bend.

Big Bend Stables are incredibly professional and a good time…read more We arrived plenty early, but when we got back we were able to check-in get inbriefed and on the horses very quickly. They matched our states experience with the right horse and I was confident that even if I'd never been on a horse before I was safe and with a horse that I could ride confidently. Duck and Carlos were fantastic guides. They kept the horses moving and the overall riding experience positive. While staying outside of Terlingua, I had Liz look up some activities. I'm glad we were able to get on a ride during our stay in the area. Ultimately, we had fun. Thank you Junebug for not kicking me off. We will be back.

When we got to the airport Marcos was waiting for us and waved us in. After exchanging salutations and going over the regulations, we were off.

Marcos Paredes definitely puts his knowledge as a former park ranger to use. Very professional, knowledgeable, and a fount of information about the area. And a great pilot on top of that. An hour flight would be fun, but so glad we opted for two hours.

The hotel staff is wonderful BUT the owner needs to do better…read more This is a very unique and serene place. But you have to understand what you are getting into when you stay here. They do have a small menu for breakfast. But lunch and dinner is a meal the chef chooses and that is all there is. You will be sitting at a group table with other guests. We never had the lunch so I can't speak on that. The dinners we did. Now the dinner were good BUT after the cost, service fee and tip that automatically get charged, each dinner for each person is $95, both nights the severed a stater soup, main plate and a dessert. $95 seemed high to me. I strongly recommend bring your own snack and a small ice chest. There are no refrigerators in the room. I think the owners suite does have a refrigerator but that is over 2k a night and is the owners suite when he wants to be there. So he makes sure he has comforts. There are NO TVs in any room. There is a media room that has a TV and then again the owners suite has a TV. Again the owner has these small comforts. There was not enough hot water for a whole shower. We booked an ATV tour which on the website they say they have side by side and single rider ATV for this tour. I personally didn't want to drive an ATV I wanted my husband to drive and their site said they had a side by side. Well they do have a side by side but they said no to taking it out for the ATV tour. We also booked the mountain tour, which is in there open air Humvee. BUT their hunters vehicles down so the hunting group got the mountain tour Humvee and we were stuck in the side by side for our mountain tour. We had the driver, us and another couple, so 5 people. The side by side had no business and was uncomfortable having 5 people in this side by side for the tour. But then going down the mountains in the side by side the brakes went out and we had to wait for a ride back. Now the Marfa sky's are amazing and Cibolo has a big telescope but apparently has not work for many many months. I feel the owner needs to pony up some funds, make sure the vehicles are in working order. Have a side by side that can be used for ATV tours like there website states. Fix the telescope. Make sure what ever the hot water problem was is fixed. But some small refrigerators in the rooms at the least. But overall the property was amazing and we will stay at again but the owner needs to do better.

Cibolo Creek Ranch is neither a hotel nor a resort. This is…read morea B&B where all the bad news is hidden until you arrive. We made reservations for one night - to check it out for a subsequent week stay with 4 adults. We went to Paws Up and Orvis Lodges in the past - thus our expectations. Cibolo send a text asking our arrival time - which was 5:30 to 6:30 as we were driving from Tucson. We called around 5 and said arrival would be around 7:00. The response was "OK then, we will cancel your dinner." First hidden clue - no food after 6:30 PM. So - with NO DINNER, we stopped at the St. George in Marfa - and had a dinner and texted and said we would be there around 9:00. The return text said the front desk closes at 6:00 PM. Second clue this is a B&B. When we arrived, finally, there are no lights anywhere. We could barely find the turn off - then up a dirt road for several miles in total blackness. Then the outline of a building - again no lights, not signage, nothing. We walked to what appeared to be a front door and found someone who said "welcome." They took our luggage to our room. In the room, a notice that everything has a 15% service fee - just because. More hidden info. Third clue. In the morning, we skipped the shower and left as fast as we could. But the pain was not over. We had to lug our heavy wheeled bags through a long parking lot - gravel - like pulling your luggage on a beach. Nobody to help. As we were loading the car, an employee, in almost total darkness, drove past the rear of our car so fast she almost hit us. Fourth clue. This place is NOT a resort. It is NOT a hotel. This is a B&B and a crappy one at that. If you want resort outdoor experiences, check out Paws Up or Orvis Lodges in Montana. And they have no hidden messages.
