Top McDonald Observatory Hotel Reviews
Davis Mountains Inn
10/10 Excellent
"Very laid back. Assumed we are adults so they left us alone. Great breakfast."
Butterfield Inn Main Street Cottages
10/10 Excellent
"Excellent location on the Main Street in town. Room was very spacious, clean had a nice courtyard. Nice amenities and comfortable bed & pillows. Very close to Davis Mountains State Park where we enjoyed hiking two days. Wish more of the restaurants, shops and coffeehouses were open."
Fort Davis Inn & R.V. Park
10/10 Excellent
"Clean and large rooms, breakfast, easy and free parking, beautiful view, convenient location in Fort Davis for sightseeing. Close to McDonald observatory, Marfa, Alpine, and Balmorhea."
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."
Casita on Arabella Mountain
10/10 Excellent
"Hospitality in Fort Davis has been some of the best we’ve encountered in Texas!! Lonnie was a wonderful host and checked on us during our stay. We enjoyed our stay at the casita and can’t wait to go back."
Mountain View Lodge
10/10 Excellent
"Everything was perfect. The only thing was that I’m 6 ft tall and the shower is kind of small, but over all, you can enjoy the place and the cure little town. Thank you!"
The Hotel Limpia
10/10 Excellent
"The experience was great. Super nice staff and the property was well kept. We would stay again anytime we visit."
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."
Davis Mountains Hideaway-Cactus Flower Cabin
10/10 Excellent
"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."
