Enjoyed our stay, cabin was very clean and stocked with everything you need. The host stopped by while we were outside and introduced herself and husband. Enjoyed the wildlife (mule deer) and had a beautiful rainbow the first night and a gorgeous sunrise the next morning.

Great place to stay!

This was a great place to stay for peace & quiet in the Fort Davis area and easily accessible. The casita was very clean, spacious, well equipped and had two very comfortable beds. It's very close to the state park as well as the observatory, which is a great place to visit.

Easy Getaway in Fort Davis

Deanna's Casita was a simple and perfect little getaway outside Fort Davis and close to the McDonald Observatory. The private covered porch with beautiful views of the mountains was my main go-to for coffee in the morning or dinner at dusk. Lovely views of the mountains and neighborhood are at your front door. High desert animals are the only sounds you hear here. It is a super quiet and comfortable place to stay!

Enjoying the Davis Mountains

A nice property for a couple with a good location on the scenic loop. Great views of surrounding mountains. A good mountain to climb right behind the casita. Casita is well equipped and comfortable. Covered patio on the side was nice. Hosts very friendly and available as needed for questions.
