Father/son trip to do some astrophotography in Fort Davis’s dark skies. The house was very comfortable and the location was very dark. Communication with the owner was very smooth. I highly recommend!

Beautiful hideaway

We stayed at this beautiful location to explore west Texas - Big Bend, McDonald Observatory, and Ft. Davis. My daughter loved that we could see the observatory telescope domes from the house. Even though it is a bit further from Big Bend, it made for beautiful drives. We loved the amazing sunrises and sunsets. We had some tremendous thunderstorms come through, and even though it caused a couple of challenges, the host was extremely responsive. The issues were taken care of promptly and resolved.We absolutely plan on staying here again!

Excellent Stay

We had a great stay at this home! The house was extremely clean & tidy and the floor plan thoughtfully planned. Honestly, everything was nicer than we expected. It’s in a nice little neighborhood less than 10 minutes from the entrance to the Davis Mountains State Park and about 15 mins from “downtown” Fort Davis. We saw deer, stars and pretty plants. Communication with the owner was great. We would definitely stay here again!

Family Spring Break in West Texas

This mountain home was a perfect getaway for our family on spring break with a 12-yr-old and 10-yr-old. The house was quiet, cozy and comfy. My wife and I enjoyed having multiple good locations to ease into the day with a cup of coffee beside the fireplace. The location was perfect for our afternoon and evening adventures — a star party at McDonald Onservatory, seeing the Marfa Lights, Horseback riding at Prude Ranch, visiting Kokernot Field, dining at Reata and several mountain hikes! What a memorable trip! Can’t wait to come back!

Clean. Easy to access. Fantastic view.

This place was just as advertised. Plenty of room. Fantastic view. Very peaceful. We were with a group camping at Ft Davis that were on spring break however we still had school. Internet was great and we could still participate with friends after schooling was finished for the day. The girls did their work in front of the windows on the floor the view was so great v

Second time around as great as the first!

We enjoyed our time here so much we came back for a second stay! For this visit, we timed our stay over the new moon so we could enjoy the dark skies - and the stars and planets were awesome! The community advocates for the Dark Skies program meaning no bright white lights to disrupt the night sky. The house was very clean, we easily cooked our meals in the kitchen and enabled our passion for puzzles on the high top dining table - perfect! We had a lovely time!!

Beautiful and peaceful house in the mountains

My family of two adults and three young children stayed here, and this place far exceeded our expectations. The views, as advertised, were beautiful. From the back porch, you can easily see both peaks of the McDonald observatory along with two other large mountains nearby. The house paid a lot of attention to detail, from including a first aid kit to including games in the spare office. My wife was quite impressed with the quality of the appliances, stating that both the stove and oven performed well. The house is spacious, and would easily be comfortable, in my opinion, for a family of 6. Overall, this was probably the best Vrbo I've ever stayed at. I can't wait to come back.
