Big Bend Paradise
The White House Ranch was unbelievably enjoyable. All by yourself without a neighbor within 5 miles or more. The house was fully stocked with everything you might need and extremely clean. The property is amazing. We spent most of several days hiking and biking just around the ranch. Sunsets were spectacular, night skies too. While Big Bend National Park is quite a distance, the State Park is not that far and Marfa is just a short drive away. Start to finish, this was an awesome place. We hope to be back soon.

Perfect relaxing getaway with lots of charm!
This home is absolutely perfect for people who are looking to getaway from the hustle and bustle and relax. It is a historic home with rich history and the caretakers have made it cozy and full of charm. Filled with antiques and every comfort you could want this was hands down my favorite getaway.

Absolutely Perfect!
We had a fantastic stay at the White House Ranch! So much fun, and the location was just what we were looking for - secluded enough for some incredible star gazing, yet not too far from the charm of Marfa. The house was comfortable and well-equipped. Couldn't have asked for a better getaway. 10/10 would recommend.

Wonderful Experience
The property is very remote and worth the drive! Views all around for miles, desert plants blooming, lots of wildlife made it a spectacular experience. Watching a T-storm from over 100 miles away at sunset was a real treat. Like the song says, there were plants and birds and rock and things. Hostwas perfect. Will book again.

We wanted to get away from it all. This beautiful ranch did the trick. Cozy, yet too notch finishes integrated with the old gives a sense of timelessness. We will be staying again. Our host was so helpful and friendly.

Ranch life light
We had a lovely stay at the ranch. Lots of space and we’ll equipped. The bunk beds are in a strange location a little far from the other rooms and my daughter didn’t want to sleep over there, but there was plenty of other space. It’s a solid 30 minute drive to Marfa, so be prepared to drive if that’s your intention!

Special and unique
Wow, this was a fun property! A bit of a drive from Marfa, we were pleasantly surprised by this beautiful and roomy house. Pretty and well-stocked kitchen, fun game room and lovely seating areas outside. We got to walk around the property to watch the sunset and sunrise, enjoy the stars, and see some wildlife. Thank you for the great experience for our families!

Fun time on the ranch
Stay was great and location was incredible. The stars at night were unforgettable. It is pretty far from the state park and more than a 2 Hr drive to big bend just for planning purposes as it was not clear from the description.

Unique Remote Stay!
We really enjoyed staying at the White House Ranch! It was a very secluded and comfortable stay. I don't recall seeing it in the listing ahead of time, but to get to the ranch, we had to meet up with Maya in Marfa and get guided to the house. This was a unique experience but was easy to coordinate and made sense given how remote everything was. It was helpful. Everyone in the party also had to sign a rental type of agreement before staying at the house which wasn't something I've had to do before. Pene and Maya were extremely communicative and friendly and I very much appreciate all of the communication we had prior to the trip! Would recommend staying here!

Off the beaten path
We rented this property for Christmas. They decorated beautifully! This is an old house with awesome history that has been updated with all the modern commodities. Internet worked great. Beds are very comfortable. The house was very warm despite being there on the coldest day in the last 100 years. The views from the sunroom all the time but mostly at sunrises are beautiful. You are far away from civilization so bring everything you need and will consume. Would recommend.

Wonderful Historic Ranch House
The White House was comfortable, clean and very well equipped. It is very remote, which is exactly what we were looking for, a great place for relaxing and stargazing. Conveniently located for the State Park and Terlingua while Marfa is about 30 minutes away. The National Park will take about 2 hours to reach the entry but it's a very scenic drive along the Rio Grande. Would certainly recommend this if you want to get away from it all, enjoy the desert scenery while still enjoying modern comforts.

Amazing remote private home!
Our stay at the White House was amazing! Peaceful, quiet, serene, very private ranch house. 40m to the nearest town so the star gazing was excellent! Well stocked home, adobe is an amazing sound buffer. My only wish is that the water pressure in the small shower was the same as I n the big shower (they do explain this in their welcome book). This home is very well positioned to visit the state park, but is quite a hike for the national park (not at all a mark against this rental, for planning purposes only) We really enjoyed our interaction with the owner and manager. We highly recommend this rental property!!

Wonderful West Texas Escape
We had an amazing time at this house! The house was nice, clean, comfortable, and well stocked. Pene was a wonderful host and easy to communicate with. My kids especially loved the sunroom with the swing bed, gameroom, porch with the fire pit and ALL the wide open space outside. It is about 30 minutes from Marfa so it's helpful to come prepared. But if you're making a trip out to west Texas, you know everything is far and that's probably what you are coming for :) We really enjoyed everything.
