House was perfect for our group of 5. Great location provided beautiful views from all vantage points. Close proximity to all of our excursions in the Fort Davis / Alpine area. Would not hesitate to stay there again.
This place is nearly perfect, but of course nothing is perfect.Very unique wild location. Starry skies and satisfying silence.If West Texas is in your itinerary, stay here.
We had such a wonderful stay at Laura’s property. The listing was just as described, very clean and cozy. We especially enjoyed the wonderful stargazing at night. We will definitely be back again!
The location was perfect for star gazing which is why we were in Ft Davis. The house was comfortable, clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The gravel road could be a bit of a challenge for a low to the ground car. Communications with the home owner was very good and we hope to return next year.
If you're looking for beautiful views & a sky full of stars look no further! Clean house, & very helpful host with easy check in/out. No issues at all. Will definitely be staying again!
This was an absolutely wonderful property, and I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Everything was clean and well-organized. The view was gorgeous, and everything was set up for comfort. My son loved the games that were at the house, and we had everything we needed during our stay. I would note that the trek up the road is on an unpaved, and there are sometimes low river crossings. We did not have any issues getting to the house though. I absolutely loved the gas fireplace in the living room that you could turn on and off with a button. Wonderful owners and place.
Clean and very comfortable. So easy to check in. Owner gave us great info on how to get to the house and even described the low water crossings with water present. They were a bit tricky and she suggested a go around that was safer. Communication was excellent. Great views. Saw wildlife.
This was our 2nd time staying here and our experience was just as enjoyable as the 1st. Its location to town and other areas we enjoy visiting is very convenient and the views from the back porch are amazing. Host is very responsive and friendly.
Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The night skies are SO dark and the stargazing was truly breathtaking. The house was very comfortable. The beds and linens were comfy and there were plenty of towels provided. The kitchen is nicely equipped for any meal, and we used it frequently as there aren't many restaurants in the area. I loved that each morning I could have coffee on the back porch, listen to the birds, and look out onto the mountains. This is a great place to stay if you are going to Davis Mountains State Park or McDonald Observatory. We will definitely stay here again the next time we come to Fort Davis.
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!
Very clean and rustic setting. It was very close to the McDonald observatory and thus great to view a star party also very near many hiking opportunities. Wonderful stay.
We very much enjoyed our stay here.The views are wonderful. The beds are super comfortable. The kitchen has all you need too.The soaking tub is unique and lovely to soak in. If we come that way again- I would look to stay here again.
We stayed in the area after visiting Big Bend, the house was clean like new, spacious and had a view of the sunset that was stunning. Highly recommend a stay here. The hosts were very helpful and only a text away.
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!
The home was perfect for a pre-new year's get away and recharge. Well equipt home, comfortable accomidations, pourch perfect for relaxing and star gazing, & quite neighborhood. We would stay at the property again. The owner is an excellent communicator. Thank you
Beautiful views of the Davis Mountains and stars. Very close to great hiking trails and the McDonald Observatory. I highly recommend attending one of the observatory star parties. This house is really roomy and nice. My family loved it and we plan on returning next year.
