About this property

Epic star gazing & 360 views of Big Bend high desert.

360 degrees of Big Bend views, 800 Acre large group getaway. Located closest to the state park this 2,300 square foot guesthouse at Los Alamos Ranch is the perfect getaway for large groups looking for a true desert retreat. We have hosted family reunions to yoga & mediation retreats. With 4 bedrooms, 7 beds & plenty of room for an air mattress or 2, we are one of very few places you'll find near the state park that can host large groups. We have all your creature comforts, A/C, Roku TV, WiFi, and delicious drinking water direct from our artesian well.

Since COVID-19, now more than ever, we want to offer the solitude provided at our guesthouse. We space our bookings to allow for ample time to clean by CDC standards. Hand sanitizer and Lysol are centrally located for easy access. We are located about one hour from the Big Bend Ranch State Park near the Sauceda Headquarters. We are also one hour drive from Marfa. Both easy day trips. The national park is about a 2.5 hour trek. But really, being located in the middle of the Chihuahuan Desert with your own private access to the Big Bend back country and starry nights is the best part about staying the Los Alamos Ranch Guesthouse . Unplug from the city lights and sounds and enjoy the beauty and stillness of the high desert and epic stargazing!

You have full access to the entire house and really, the entire 800 acre ranch! Private Big Bend Hiking, catch and release fishing, it's all available during your stay at no extra charge.

We have a large outdoor soak tub to keep you and your friends and family cool in the warm summer months. And a fire pit ready to enjoy those starry nights in the winter! Our kitchen is fully stocked to help you prepare almost any meal. The house is fully stocked with plenty of paper towels, laundry detergent, shampoo, conditioner, etc. Don't hesitate to shoot us any questions of what we provide, chances are we do!

If you drive a sedan or small vehicle with standard street tires, please message us and we'll tell you about road conditions. Typically, they are A-OK! Bring your camera to capture some epic sunrise and sunsets. A telescope for the starry nights, but really you can see the milky way with the naked eye. Bring your mountain bike, miles of desert road at your feet!

Loved it!

We came and stayed over Thanksgiving and could not be happier with our experience! Stella was amazing and very communicative. Couldn’t ask for a better host. We loved the house and property. It allowed for our kids and dogs to get outside and have some fun adventures. It was exactly what we needed for our Thanksgiving get away! We will definitely be back in the future!

Amazing Stay

We had a very good time staying at Los Alamos. Our host Stela was very kind and informative and gave quick responses. We arrived with a clean and spacious area that also had great supplies for the kitchen, fire pit, and bathroom. Overall we were able to see amazing views and took a nice time away from home.

About the host

Hosted by Stela Fuentez

Host profile image
Our guests always ask us, how did you end up out here?! I love answering this question. My husband is originally from the Big Bend. I was living in San Antonio when we met and he brought me out here on our third date. Less than a year later, we closed on Los Alamos Ranch! And the rest is history...well it is still being written. We have two beautiful children, and now have a house in Marfa where they go to school. Los Alamos is where we raised our babies for the first 5 years and that is where we call home. We've lived here since 2010 and wouldn't want to live anywhere else in the world. We hope you love it out here as much as we do!

Why they chose this property

I think the Big Bend chose me. I followed my heart out here and I will never let it go!

What makes this property unique

For all the things you read about the Big Bend, it's all true. But I will tell you, you don't have to travel very far from the guesthouse to get it. Walk out and look up at the night sky. We are under a protected dark sky and I promise you, you'll never feel so close to the stars and the Milky Way as you do out here.
