Relaxing Stay, Great Location

The cabin offers seclusion, wildlife, and all the amenities one needs to have a relaxing stay while only a 5 minute drive to Fort Davis. The lack of light in the area makes for great star gazing.

Great location

Great location if you are going to see the McDonald Observatory or take the scenic loop around the Davis Mountains. Only a 30 minute or so drive to Marfa or Alpine. About an hour and a half to Terlingua. Really cute cabin with great views on front and rear porches. Comfortable bed, all you need in the kitchen. We would stay again.

Wonderful Retreat

Enjoyed the opportunity to stay at a small cabin in the middle of a big ranch with even bigger views. This cabin and it's surroundings are in line with what's described in the listing, and is great for a solo trip, couples getaway, or a small family (3-4) vacation. The modern amenities (wifi, A/C, etc.) are all great and functional, however, this place really shines when you simply step outside to the open front porch, or to the screened in back porch. The views and sounds of nature are worth the long "driveway" to the property, and don't miss the wonderful views of mountains and huge trees along the driveway. I will definitely be back!

Perfect cabin in the mountains

We stayed here in June and loved it. It’s the perfect mix between a secluded mountain cabin but a very short drive to town to grab food or groceries. The views are beautiful and it’s very close to the observatory. We will def stay here again.

Hidden Gem

Great stay for our family of 4! The cabin is very clean & cute, well represented by the photos. It’s very quiet & great for seeing the stars outside your door. Stayed here as we visited Big Bend, Marfa, Ft. Davis. The whole town lost power for a little bit during our stay which caused some issues, but our host was quick to respond & handle the situation. We would definitely stay here again.

Couple’s Retreat to the Mountains

What a beautiful ranch and wonderful property! Secluded…tucked away in the mountains…yet a few miles to Ft. Davis and the Davis Mountains SP. The Observatory is also a quick drive from the cabin. Perfect get-a-way for a couple wanting quiet and relaxation!

Quiet, cozy and centrally located

This little cabin is basic but comfortable. It features beautiful views and solitude. It’s location, in a valley up a private dirt drive, is convenient for services in town and access to the state park, the observatory and the Chihuahuan Desert Research Institute. We enjoyed our stay.
