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!
