About this property

Lofted & Heated Yurt in Big Bend @ Casa Estrella

Heated & Insulated West Texas Boho Yurt @ Casa Estrella with a Twin Peaks view! Take part in big sky star gazing with a desert rest and relaxation experience. Casa Estrella brings serene views and rest for the busiest of travelers. Ask about our second yurt if you have more than one group.

Near town, 30 minutes from Fort Davis, Marfa, and Marathon. The Big Bend National Park, Terlingua, and Lajitas are roughly 100 miles away.

Enjoy the Gateway to the Big Bend while staying comfortably!

Big stars under a big yurt at the gateway to The Big Bend ! This heated and insulated beautifully decorated with west Texas and boho decor has beds to comfortably sleep four and has room to sleep additional guests upon request. Casa Estrella feels adventurous and unique just like the terrain of Far West Texas and when you break from the terrain you can enjoy wifi, smart tv, nice cool ac or a warm escape from the cool desert nights. Rest and relax in the true to western fashion clawfoot tub or shower under the stars in a “perfect for the dessert” outdoor shower. West Texas cuisine is just minutes away but if the yurt is where your hat hangs, Casa Estrella boasts a stocked kitchen for refueling and an outdoor grilling area for making nourishing meals for you and your fellow guest.

This big beautiful yurt is only minutes from all things Alpine, under 30 minutes from Fort Davis, Marfa, and Marathon. The Big Bend National Park, Terlingua, and Lajitas are roughly 100 miles away, and the drive is ruggedly beautiful.

The whole unit is yours and the dog park is available to you. On site private parking is available for up to 2 vehicles. Additional space is available if needed.

I won’t be available in person
I live in San Angelo, but am available through text and message to answer any & all questions.

This property located close to town and easily accessible. You will have to drive down a narrow paved road, and there are two speedbumps (slow down). The unit is located behind a privacy fence built from 100+ year old fence posts repurposed for esthetics and maximum privacy without loosing the view.

Cerca del Cielo has a gravel circular drive and private/dedicated parking outside the yurt.

No smoking in our tiny home please ! You will be charged an additional $100 if you decide to smoke in the home to cover cleaning expenses.

Great experience overall

Such a cute place to stay in the city of Alpine. We were about 2 hours from Big Bend National Park, and overall had a great time. The only downside is there is no shower. I thought there was a shower from the pictures, but only bathtub and outdoor shower (which was not hooked up) We made do with the tub and everything else was great. We weren’t able to see the stars because of the cloudy weather :( But made the best of our time here.

Unique experience

We loved our stay in the yurt. My kids 6 and 10 enjoyed making s'mores and stargazing at night. It was so comfortable after a long day of hiking at Big Bend. We came during a cold spell in April and were impressed by the heat in the yurt. It was a unique experience and we would stay here again. Communication with the host was easy and her replies were prompt. The yurt was clean and decorated so well.

Amazing place to stay

Can’t say enough good things about staying here. Communication before, during, and after our stay was exemplary in every way. Very spacious and beautiful accommodations with too many thoughtful amenities to list. I was traveling with my 10-year old grandson and he was as enchanted with this yurt as I was (especially the loft and the bathtub). There were absolutely no problems or negatives with staying at this property, only pleasure. Alpine itself is a large-ish town but we found that some places weren’t open when we were here in February, be prepared to be flexible and heed your host’s advice on bringing some food supplies with you if that kind of thing matters to to you or if you have small children. My grandson and I visited Big Bend, Marfa and explored Alpine from here. If you want a fun, luxurious stay that has all the amenities of home, you won’t be disappointed here!

Big Bend family NYE celebration!

Our family of five checked in New Year’s Eve and enjoyed our visit! The location between the National parks was why we chose Alpine. Gas stations, restaurants, and grocery stores made it easy for us to have what we needed even during the holidays. The kids loved the sleeping arrangements, especially the loft. Our teenager liked the bath, and the host’s little touches made it extra special and cozy. Check in and checkout were easy, and having heat on a chilly night to warm up after stargazing added comfort to an experience we will never forget!

The Cutest Yurt

We enjoyed our stay at Casa Estrella! This was the cutest yurt with great decor and furnishings. We had everything we needed and there was so much space. The design and layout was perfect. It was close enough to downtown yet you felt secluded which was exactly what we wanted.

So unique and inviting!

I was blown away by this yurt! I stayed in another property on the site and saw the yurts but truly had no idea how amazing it was inside! It was absolutely spectacular! I had everything I needed, the nights were beautiful and quiet. The stars were amazing and the weather was cool in the mornings and nights, exactly what I head out for! The host was very communicative, and I ended up leaving something at the first house, and she kindly returned it and placed it in the yurt for my second stay. Highly recommend this home, and this post!

Perfect stay!

We absolutely loved our stay at Cerca del Cielo! Everything we needed was provided, and the place is even more charming than it looks on the pictures. It was nice to be nearby Alpine, which had everything we needed, but the neighborhood was quiet and we felt like we were away from it all. The loft was perfect for our kids, and we slept very well in the queen size bed. Our only regret was that we didn't get to spend more time there!

Cute Yurt

The Yurt was a vibe! We enjoyed our stay for the most part. The only suggestion Is to add privacy blinds because at night you can see inside the yurt if your lights on with the current blinds. And warning if you bring dogs that there are stickers all throughout the grass area. Thank you for our stay and good customer service.

We stayed for one night only, but everything was exceptional. My son loved the place and wants to come back. Everything was provided for a comfortable stay. Everything was clean and beds were comfortable. The night got chilly, but heating was adequate. The host was very helpful and friendly on text before and during our stay. She even recommended places to eat and they were great! I would definitely recommend staying here.
