When the water is high you can come down the 1,500 foot walled canyon. With less water flowing, guides take you 3 to 4 miles up the canyon with some spots having to portage. But take it all in stride because the views are breathtaking. I recommend Big Bend River Tours. You might get lucky and have the guides that take you a half mile up a side canyon. An excellent day excursion in the out of the way national park.](https://images.trvl-media.com/place/553248621532643031/187b47af-173d-411b-8c0e-ebc616991017.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=115.61&rh=65.03&ra=fit&q=high) Big Bend National Park 12 min drive \- 10.0 miles - ![The Closed Canyon hike in Big Bend Ranch State Park was completely deserted when we went on a Tuesday in April.

In fact, it was my my favorite overnight stay of my entire 10-day trip. What made it so was because it was completely comfortable, authentic, classy, and unassumingly cool. Waking up in that incredibly comfortable king-sized bed & watching the pre-dawn light & eventual sunrise come up over the mountains was an unforgettable experience. Can't thank them enough for & loved everything! ##### Sherri O.

The cabin was nicely decorated and view was great. The cabin is right next to another cabin and there’s quite a bit of shared outside space which made it feel more like a hotel than our own remote cabin. Luckily our neighbors weren’t loud people so we had no problem. The coffee shop down the hill was fantastic. ##### Lori N.

Just a short walk to our favorite restaurant, the Starlight Theater. Terligua swings to its own beat and we dig it. Weather was perfect in January. We could spend a month here. The view from the patio was stunning & the stars were big & bright. Definitely plan to return. ##### Michael T.

Should have been informed how difficult gaining access could be. Also city water was contaminated and there was no notification to guest that shower water was dangerous. Other than that beautiful. ##### Ralph Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### John C. 4 Mar 2020 Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy #### what a tease this place looks perfect.. online. The pictures are great and it actually is pretty nice on the inside, however, looks can be deceiving. #1 very little privacy. Upon arrival, we were surprised to see that this is a room in a house, not a standalone structure. our neighbors had a party until 1:30 right outside our windows where they could obviously see into our room with the blinds drawn. we ended up having to cut off all the lights in our room so that they couldn't see us. #2 Rats! There are rats in this house and they are relentless. I had to give my girlfriend earplugs to sleep because they were chewing so loud! I repeatedly banged the ceiling above our heads where they were chewing multiple holes through and they kept coming back. #3 Zero Remorse: I POLITELY texted the owner that night to see if we could change rooms with no response. what is even worse is that he never texted or called back to this day! I have no remorse giving this place one star. if you like people watching you in bed and rats chewing over your face all night then this is the place for you. ##### John C.

The town of Terlingua has so much charm, and you have a great view overlooking the city and the surrounding mountains at this property. Be aware that the guest room is the other half of the same building, but we were lucky enough that no one else had booked the bunk room. The property has everything you need, and the town has a general store nearby for anything you might’ve forgotten to bring. I would definitely stay here again! Highly recommend Santa Elena Canyon!! ##### Vanat T.
