Fossil+Folk House in the heart of Fort Davis

Fossil+Folk House in the heart of Fort Davis

10/10 Excellent
"Great location under the Milky Way sky. Access to Balmorhea and McDonald Observatory lovely drive. I love how the three rooms are separated for privacy. We played records, played cards, enjoyed the comfortable living room and ample kitchen. There are spaces all around the yard to hang out. I would absolutely stay here again. Looking at all the art in the home is a fun museum in itself."

Fort Davis Drug Store Hotel

Fort Davis Drug Store Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Old wooden building, so floors to rooms upstairs creaked. Only a few rooms (six, I think) on the upper floor. The Drug Store downstairs itself is closed (and currently for sale), so no breakfast. HOWEVER, the store was furnished with a full pool table, table tennis, and foosball, plus all the furnishings of the business. With only ourselves and one other guest this time, we pretty much had the place to ourselves. Upper floor also had a very nice community room with couches, games and tables, a phonograph with vinyl records, tea/coffee service. Again, with so few people staying, it was a luxurious experience. Modern (and quiet) air conditioning system in comfortable, large bedrooms. Access was a bit strange. No staff on site, so entry was by coded electronic lock on side door. Prior owner/manager communication gives you the code and instructions."

"Great location in the sky island of West Texas. Loved the quite, nature ridden area. Especially the wildlife - like the Burros or Donkeys. The cabin was perfect for our needs, having lacking of nothing."
