Beautiful hideaway

We stayed at this beautiful location to explore west Texas - Big Bend, McDonald Observatory, and Ft. Davis. My daughter loved that we could see the observatory telescope domes from the house. Even though it is a bit further from Big Bend, it made for beautiful drives. We loved the amazing sunrises and sunsets. We had some tremendous thunderstorms come through, and even though it caused a couple of challenges, the host was extremely responsive. The issues were taken care of promptly and resolved.We absolutely plan on staying here again!

The Perfect Davis Mountains Getaway

This cozy home nestled high up on Arabella is a true retreat. The home itself is well appointed with comfortable seating areas and well kept bedrooms. The home decor is classic west Texas with Cowboy and Native American theming found throughout the home. The back porch is the perfect place to watch the sunset before watching the night sky come alive as part of the darkest places found in The Lower 48. The planets, and Milky Way are easily scene from this back porch. If you’re into hiking and star gazing then this the property for you!

Book this place!!!!

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!

Family Spring Break in West Texas

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!

Excellent Stay

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!

Beautiful and peaceful house in the mountains

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.

Second time around as great as the first!

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!!

Davis Mountains View

This property is the cleanest I have ever rented and that is remarkable considering the gravel road which accesses it and the arid/semi-arid environment it exists within. The views and rural quiet hold a valuable magic of their own. It was spacious and comfortable. The well water was indeed clean, crisp, and better than bottled or municipal. There were a few things that raised our eyebrows. One was the bath in the main bedroom. It was a tub with hand held wand, but the wand was broken so a “rinsing bucket” was provided along with hand written notes attached to the broken wand. The next issue is a life safety issue. It had to do with a malfunctioning gas stovetop. We guests were warned to use the right-side burners as they were more reliable than the left when igniting. Matches were suggested as a remedy, if necessary. This is dangerous and not acceptable. These problems were clearly known by the host as they were addressed directly. I would strongly suggest that the host fix these known problems before someone gets hurt.

Fort Davis getaway

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.
