We had a great stay at this home! The house was extremely clean & tidy and the floor plan thoughtfully planned. Honestly, everything was nicer than we expected. It’s in a nice little neighborhood less than 10 minutes from the entrance to the Davis Mountains State Park and about 15 mins from “downtown” Fort Davis. We saw deer, stars and pretty plants. Communication with the owner was great. We would definitely stay here again!

Very clean and rustic setting. It was very close to the McDonald observatory and thus great to view a star party also very near many hiking opportunities. Wonderful stay.

This mountain home was a perfect getaway for our family on spring break with a 12-yr-old and 10-yr-old. The house was quiet, cozy and comfy. My wife and I enjoyed having multiple good locations to ease into the day with a cup of coffee beside the fireplace. The location was perfect for our afternoon and evening adventures — a star party at McDonald Onservatory, seeing the Marfa Lights, Horseback riding at Prude Ranch, visiting Kokernot Field, dining at Reata and several mountain hikes! What a memorable trip! Can’t wait to come back!

This place was just as advertised. Plenty of room. Fantastic view. Very peaceful. We were with a group camping at Ft Davis that were on spring break however we still had school. Internet was great and we could still participate with friends after schooling was finished for the day. The girls did their work in front of the windows on the floor the view was so great v

We enjoyed our time here so much we came back for a second stay! For this visit, we timed our stay over the new moon so we could enjoy the dark skies - and the stars and planets were awesome! The community advocates for the Dark Skies program meaning no bright white lights to disrupt the night sky. The house was very clean, we easily cooked our meals in the kitchen and enabled our passion for puzzles on the high top dining table - perfect! We had a lovely time!!

My family of two adults and three young children stayed here, and this place far exceeded our expectations. The views, as advertised, were beautiful. From the back porch, you can easily see both peaks of the McDonald observatory along with two other large mountains nearby. The house paid a lot of attention to detail, from including a first aid kit to including games in the spare office. My wife was quite impressed with the quality of the appliances, stating that both the stove and oven performed well. The house is spacious, and would easily be comfortable, in my opinion, for a family of 6. Overall, this was probably the best Vrbo I've ever stayed at. I can't wait to come back.

This place was unbelievable! Everything about it was perfect. It has everything you need, and you dont even have to look hard to find it in the home as the host has kindly labled where it all is. The decor is only outmatched by the surroundings. The nightsky is absolutely breathtaking, and it is so peaceful out even during the daytime. Everything you could possibly want to visit out there is no more than 30 or so minutes away, with most activities being less than a 10 minute drive. Our kids loved seeing all of the wildlife, and we were all so impressed with our beautiful mountain view. You can even clearly see the observatory from the house! The host is amazing at communicating, and even messaged us during our stay to let us know that the weather was going to perfect that night for viewing the stars. If we could give this place 10 stars we would. We will however have to settle on 5 and booking here again.Book this place NOW, you will NEVER regret it!

Our family enjoyed our stay here immensely! It was the perfect homebase for exploring Fort Davis, Marfa, Alpine and Balmorhea during the day, while relaxing and stargazing at night. The home itself is decorated with care and Texan charm - as native of West Texas, I felt right at home, and I expect first-time visitors to this area will appreciate the authenticity. Plenty of room, comfort and views galore! Hope to stay here again.
