Great place to stay!

This was a great place to stay for peace & quiet in the Fort Davis area and easily accessible. The casita was very clean, spacious, well equipped and had two very comfortable beds. It's very close to the state park as well as the observatory, which is a great place to visit.

The host was very welcoming and everything was exactly as she said it would be. The Casita is a wonderful place for a great mountain get-away with all the amenities it touts. We made immediate use of the washer and dryer as we had a week's worth of laundry to do. Everything we needed was there, although I did furnish my own laundry detergent, but detergent was already there (the same brand!)
