Great Big Bend stay with Big Sky!
Great property for a quick trip into Big Bend. Being out at night was the real treat - having the cafe nearby made dinner options easier when cooking wasn’t in the cards.

The Alma Ranch is a really nice, cozy trailer that has everything you need. We really liked the full kitchen and enjoyed having wifi and access to streaming services. I would recommend storing food away because, as you might expect, there are mice that sneak in at night. We did not actually see them, but they enjoyed our blackberry strudel when we were sleeping! Also, take super quick showers because the water is limited.

It locates very country side and I think it is ideal for star watching. I recommend to bring a lot of drinking water. The hotel is well maintained, but the amount of water is limited. No problem for electricity because power lines supply it. (Not solar panels) I surprised the Wifi speed was fast.

Two bedrooms, two mice!!!
Cozy but ok. We found two mice underneath the sink one dead one was still moving in the glue trap!!! The water was not drinkable and left and slimy residue on your hands and body!! Power went for a day also. We should have went three miles down the road!!!

Centrally located!
Beautiful home very close to Sea World, the zoo, balboa park, La Jolla, grocery stores, and restaurants! The pool and hot tub are well maintained. The kitchen and bathrooms are up to date. If you want a quiet vacation and just want to hang around the house it’s perfect for that too! Bruce, the property manager, was very knowledgeable of the area and suggested restaurants and grocery stores. We tried 3 of the restaurants and they were all fantastic! Highly recommended!
