A lovely hideaway in the Davis Mountains.
We wanted to be out of the crowds yet near enough to Big Bend, Marfa, and surrounding areas. We found a perfect apartment-style hideaway on Davis Mountain. Big Bend was an easy 2-hour drive away, through magnificent country. Easy to find, the cottage was clean and good order. There was coffee, tea, pots and pans for cooking if we desired. 2 huge muffins greeted our arrival and were the perfect start to the next day's journey to Big Bend. The bed was comfortable; the bathroom, spacious and clean, with a walk-in shower. We will look forward to going back to take in more of the sites we missed this time around. It is an ideal location -- easy to get to and comfortably quiet. The hosts checked on us when we arrived and left us alone with their phone #s "just in case." We highly recommend!!!

Cozy Casita
We had a lovely stay at this property! The property was comfortable and had everything we needed. The owners were available if needed. The sunrise was beautiful, the stars were spectacular and the property has several resources that talk about the area. We had a pleasant stay.

VERY NICE "HIDEAWAY"
Great location. Conveniently located to McDonald's Observatory, Davis Mt. State Park and a pleasant drive to Terlingua. We should have planned more time to see more of the area. We will probably return with an expanded "to do" list. The Casita was well stocked, clean, and a fun place to stay. Excellent privacy!

Great place!
We enjoyed our stay very much! The house was clean and well maintained. The mountain views were lovely. We came to enjoy the Hummingbird migration through the Ft. Davis area. Not only did the hosts hang up hummingbird feeders so we could watch them from our windows, they contacted a neighbor who had feeders also.
