Nice location. Maggie was a great host answering any questions we had! Would love to see a feeder placed on the property!!! Watched Mule deer on the south side of canyon with binoculars.

The bar for a five-star VRBO review has moved with our recent stay at Rock House in Ft. Davis, because--WOW!--this one is five big and bright stars (deep in the heart of Texas!). The home is clean, spacious, thoughtfully decorated, comfortable, and magnificently cozied-in to the natural beauty visible from every window and deck. Even when 12-20 degrees outside (most mornings of our stay), we were warmed by the wood-burning fire (find a source for wood in Ft. Davis) and the brilliant long views of the rugged West Texas landscape. If you're looking for a spot to retreat, renew, rejoice in the beauty of the Earth--while also being less than 30 minutes from McDonald Observatory, Marfa, and Alpine--you won't find a better stay. Our group of 5 lifelong friends couldn't have been happier. ##### Terri P. Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lynda W. Apr 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### So wonderful that we hope to return! Three couples, long time friends, wanted to meet near Ft. Davis to celebrate my husband’s birthday. We loved that each bedroom had private baths and king size beds. The view from the back deck was delightful, as we could see Mitre Peak in the distance. As the three women had attended Mitre Peak Girl Scout Camp in our youth, it was rather magic to see Mitre from afar. It was awesome to view the sunrise & hear my husband singing “Morning Has Broken” as we arose for breakfast. From the porch, we could see McDonald Observatory (we had tickets for the star Party). We enjoyed our visit to the Chihuahuan Desert Nature Center, across the highway from us. The kitchen has been updated and there is plenty of storage in the laundry room for all the extras you need to stash. We had two cars and an RV - plenty of parking. It was a perfect weekend! ##### Lynda W. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mel H.

I had heard that the Fort Davis area has some of the most spectacular views of the night sky in the country. We weren’t disappointed. We were also in close proximity to the McDonald Observatory and Fort Davis. We weren’t disappointed with our stay at the Rock House either. It offered lovely views of the surrounding hills and lots of space for walking with our dogs. Maggie, our host was amazing. The house was in perfect condition. Her messages were welcoming and she was quick to respond to our questions. We will definitely return for another visit. ##### Mel H.

The Pictures do not do justice as the views are spectacular, both am and pm. Be prepared for a long and dusty road to and from the property, but again, it is worth the view and the privacy. The only input I would have is to somehow fix the floor vibration in the dining area. As you sit at the table, the floor and the table vibrate and you feel it while sitting. And either note that the ice maker is not working, or provide ice and/or trays. And finally, have a few spare trash bags for the kitchen receptacle. Otherwise are stay was fabulous and recommend to all. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 7 nights in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bryan T. Jun 6, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### My star gazing children loved it, and so did I This beautiful cabin offers an exceptional retreat for anyone seeking both tranquility and the perfect stargazing experience. The cabin itself is charming, blending rustic design with modern amenities, making it both cozy and comfortable. Every room has its own full bath - a necessity for us with two teenagers. During the day, you can enjoy breathtaking views or go across the street and hike. As night falls, the sky transforms into a spectacular view of the stars. This area is known for its lack of light pollution, which makes it ideal for stargazing. My daughter said she had never seen so many stars. The cabin is well-equipped, providing all the comforts of home. The grocery in town has a large enough selection to get whatever you need for food. The outdoor space features a spacious deck perfect for relaxing and taking in the natural surroundings while enjoying morning coffee. This place is truly nothing short of magical. The proximity to Fort Davis also means there are plenty of opportunities for daytime adventures, from hiking in the nearby state parks (Balmorhea!) to visiting the McDonald Observatory. We did the star party - be prepared to stay out late, but it’s so worth it. Overall, this cabin offers an unforgettable escape, combining the best of nature with the comforts of home. It's an ideal destination for anyone looking to unwind, relax, be adventurous, day trip to various cities, and then marvel at the night sky. ##### Bryan T.

Loved this place, wish we could have stayed more than one night. 3 bedrooms were the perfect number for the 4 of us. The balcony was so wonderful, I could have spent hours there. The cabin is off the beaten path, but that made it more peaceful. Thank you, Maggie. ##### Steve H.
