This was our 3rd time staying at the cabin. Great spot with all the comforts of home. Remote but close enough to town and the state park. We will be back! Thank you for sharing your house Jennifer.

We spent the week here for our honeymoon, it was wonderful. We had plenty of amenities, everything we needed to cook meals with, and enjoyed the solace together in nature. We will be back in the future!

Hidden Gem
Great stay for our family of 4! The cabin is very clean & cute, well represented by the photos. It’s very quiet & great for seeing the stars outside your door. Stayed here as we visited Big Bend, Marfa, Ft. Davis. The whole town lost power for a little bit during our stay which caused some issues, but our host was quick to respond & handle the situation. We would definitely stay here again.

Very well organized cabin. Easy drive to the property. Javalina, turkeys and deer add to the experience. Loved having coffee on the porch while enjoying the mountain views.

Fantastic Views and a Perfect Getaway for Two
We cannot express how wonderful your cabin was for us. My husband loved the hiking and I liked the privacy. We didn't get to use the screened-in porch since it was winter but I can see how great it would be when the bugs come out in the spring or summer. The kitchen was rustic but serviceable, I so appreciated there being ground coffee to use. Many places don't have even one packet of sugar post-Covid. There were spices and olive oil and skillets. Again, nothing fancy but serviceable. We had trouble getting channels on the TV but we weren't there to watch TV. Ft. Davis Mountains State Park and the McDonald observatory are very close by as is Marfa. The only trouble we had was locking the gate with the chain and combination locks. Not something we are used to being from the big City. Thanks again for hosting us. We will need to come back when it's not so cold and make reservations ahead of time at the observatory.

Perfect Mountain and Hiking Getaway
This place is a gem with stunning mountain views all around. It is also quite secluded yet only a mile or so from Ft. Davis with restaurants and a fairly new grocery store (Porter's). The hiking was awesome with private trails right in your "back yard"---a private ranch with private mountain trails. The state park nearby also offers a variety of hiking trails from easy to moderate to difficult trails. The guest house has a full kitchen, living area, a good size bedroom and bathroom. There is also a screened-in porch on the back. And the night sky views are stunning with zero light pollution in the area. Our host Jenniffer was very responsive and easy to communicate with. This was our second stay here and we'll be back the next time we visit Ft. Davis.

Isolation and Solitude
My wife and I have stayed here on two occasions and will, most likely, return next year. The cabin is unique: no neighbors or lights within sight, serene silence surrounds and insolation in that the cabin is one mile on a no traffic dirt road with a locked gate securing the property.
