Perfect house

The four of us loved staying at this house. It was perfect for a gathering place with other family members staying at the state park. The kitchen was well equipped, beautiful property to explore and the fireplace was ideal. We would definitely stay here again if in the area.

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!

WOW! This one is five big and bright stars!

The bar for a five-star VRBO review has moved with our recent stay at Rock House in Ft. Davis, because--WOW!--this one is five big and bright stars (deep in the heart of Texas!). The home is clean, spacious, thoughtfully decorated, comfortable, and magnificently cozied-in to the natural beauty visible from every window and deck. Even when 12-20 degrees outside (most mornings of our stay), we were warmed by the wood-burning fire (find a source for wood in Ft. Davis) and the brilliant long views of the rugged West Texas landscape. If you're looking for a spot to retreat, renew, rejoice in the beauty of the Earth--while also being less than 30 minutes from McDonald Observatory, Marfa, and Alpine--you won't find a better stay. Our group of 5 lifelong friends couldn't have been happier.

Another Wonderful Time at Rock House

We have stayed at Rock House many times before and always enjoy it. The view from the back porch is amazing, and we love the convenient location near “downtown” Fort Davis and the Chihuahua Desert Research Institute! This time, we were impressed to see new furnishings, new linens, and other improvements throughout the cabin. Thank you for another wonderful stay! ❤️

Staying At The Rocks

Very Nice rock cabin! Nice location. Maggie was a great host answering any questions we had! Would love to see a feeder placed on the property!!! Watched Mule deer on the south side of canyon with binoculars. I think that would only accentuate the beauty of the cabin in its great location sitting on the porch watching the wild life up close! Would be a good treat to a great cabin.
