Lovely adobe home

We were a little skeptical when we saw the outside, but the inside is amazing. It is beautifully decorated, spacious & very comfortable. Since there were only two is us we only used the front bedroom. It was large with a sitting area & very comfortable bed. We loved the bathroom with its colorful tile & the kitchen was well equipped for cooking meals. We highly recommend this rental if you are staying in the area.

Great house in a beautiful small town

We were happy in every respect with our stay in Fort Davis. The house is within walking distance of all FD businesses but the striking mountain scenery that surrounds the town is visible at all times. My favorite activity, despite the rather low temperatures in January, was to take long walks around the town and up toward the majestic cliffs. We all agreed on departure that it was one of our favorite stays.

This was a very nice clean home, more than I expected. The pictures don’t do justice. There are two full restrooms one just don’t have a bath tub. Location is Close to Marfa, Valentine and Alpine. You could go any direction easily.

Perfect Home in Fort Davis

I absolutely loved staying at David’s home. I was in Fort Davis for a race in the Davis Mountains. The home was perfectly located. I was able to cook my meals and get great sleep the days before the race. The house is very spacious and clean, has everything you need to feel like home. Thank you David, I hope to stay at your place again next year!

Excellent Getaway

This property is well kept, better than described and perfect for a getaway to Ft. Davis. Quiet, great view, hummingbirds at the flowers, gorgeous pine tree to sit under and enjoy the midday breeze. Well apportioned, comfortable beds, couches, furniture. Close to wherever you want to be close to, far enough away from whatever you want to get away from. Looking forward to a return visit as soon as life allows.

Family Vacation in West Texas

This is a very nicely remodeled home in Fort Davis Texas. The home has nice communal spaces and bedrooms. The kitchen is set up to minimally serve the number of people staying at the house, but most things are there if you decide to cook.

Excellent Experience

We had a great time in Fort Davis and the house was perfect for a long weekend. It was clean and well stocked and the host was very responsive. He even dropped off a couple of fire logs outside the front door for us if we wanted to use the fire place because the night was going to be cold. We look forward to returning to Fort Davis and staying at the Agave house again.

Weekend at the Observatory

Spent the weekend here at McDonald Observatory with wife and kids. The home was perfect with a great location and felt like a home away from our own. The Adobe style was a first for me, but I loved it. We arrived late at night, so we awakened to a bright and sunny day surrounded by cliffs we couldn’t see at night, what a sight! We will return many times as long as it is available.
