This el viejo (old adobe) sits directly across the street from the beautiful Sul Ross State University campus and just a few blocks from downtown Alpine. This is a great basecamp while exploring all that Alpine and Big Bend have to offer. Marfa and Fort Davis are short drives away with beautiful scenery in between. This location is not suitable for children under 12. This old adobe sits on land, once part of the W.B.Hancock Ranch which was located just East of the original townsite of Alpine, Texas. After decades of witnessing cowboy and ranch life, this quiet old adobe was on land to be annexed into the town, after Mr. Hancock gave 100 acres for the establishment of Sul Ross State College on “Hancock Hill”. Located across the street from the beautiful campus of Sul Ross State Univ. (and the Museum of the Big Bend), this old adobe guest house is easily accessible to downtown and restaurants. Only thirty minutes from Ft. Davis, or Marfa, or Marathon, and only an hour and a half hours from the Big Bend National Park, this is a great place to stay! The living room has a small sofa and two sitting chairs. It has a tv with an Amazon Fire stick to login into your own entertainment apps. (Netflix etc.) Remember to logout before checking out! Guests may park in the parking lot to the south of the property and access the front porch and side patio. Call or text me at 432-386-8296. The north facing porch has been converted into a second bedroom and does not have venting for ac/heating. However it is an adobe house with tile floors and the additional bedroom stays pretty close to the temperature of the main house. A fan and heater are provided for your comfort. Please note the fireplace is for decorative purposes only. The guest bedroom is an addition and does not have a vent. Please use the fan or heater provided to heat and cool the room. Also beware that we have the property regularly treated for pests. However, if you leave food or crumbs out it is very likely to attract ants into the property. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Free toiletries - Hair dryer ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Desk chair ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Tile flooring in public areas - Smoking not allowed ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Unit size: 646 square feet ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/69000000/68500000/68499900/68499841/9a2214c2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Charming 1920 Tudor-style house, great location!
