Outstanding stay at the Rock House at High Frontier in Fort Davis. The setting is exceptional, with sweeping mountain and canyon views, incredible stargazing, and a peaceful, secluded feel.The home is comfortable and well-designed, with a rustic interior, cozy fireplace, and large windows that bring the desert landscape inside. It is perfectly located to explore McDonald Observatory, Marfa, and Big Bend National Park.Maggie, the property manager, was excellent. Very responsive and made everything seamless.Highly recommend for anyone looking to experience West Texas with both comfort and authenticity.

Loved this place, wish we could have stayed more than one night. 3 bedrooms were the perfect number for the 4 of us. The balcony was so wonderful, I could have spent hours there. The cabin is off the beaten path, but that made it more peaceful. Thank you, Maggie.

Rock House Cabin

Rock House Cabin was Great! 5-Stars for sure.Only thing that could make it better, would be to put up a game feeder out in the pasture. We watched 14-Elk the next canyon over to the south-west, Mule deer and 2-Aoudad Rams, would be nice to watch wildlife closer on the 20-acres! Look forward to next stay!
