Kathleen and Tom were very responsive when a small inconvenience arose at the house. The house itself was comfortable, nicely decorated, had everything we could have needed, and was located in a quiet location close to shops and restaurants. Would definitely stay there again!

This was our second stay at the same location. Our first visit was two years ago. Everything was exceptional, the site was well-provisioned, and everything worked.The property is quiet and well-maintained and the Griffiths are always pleasant to deal with. This is our first and ONLY choice in Alpine.

Home away from home

We needed few days to relax before we move on with our travels and the place was just what we needed. Has a good location : short distance to Marfa, Fort Davis and McDonald's Observatory. The amenities were amazing! The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed. Kathleen is a wonderful host who made our stay very special.

Perfect home away from home.

We spent our Christmas holiday in Casa Candelilla and found everything within the home to be comfortable and welcoming. After hiking and exploring in far West Texas, this was the the best place to come home to for resting up and planning our next day of adventure: Everything we needed was right at hand in every corner! We will definitely come back for more,

Alpine Getaway

If you need a place to stay in Alpine, this is it! We are so happy we found this house that when we came back for another visit to West Texas, we for sure stayed here again. Kathleen is an amazing host and makes sure that you have everything you need. Besides, the house being quaint and comfortable, the garden is amazing to sit out and enjoy the birds and the beautiful grounds.

Sweet home away from home

This VRBO is perfection down to the last detail. Ideally located close to downtown Alpine and a perfect base for our adventures to the Big Bend parks and the Davis Mountains. The surrounding garden is filled with gorgeous flowers and songbirds! Home is very comfortable and the kitchen is fully stocked with premium cookware and utensils. We hope to visit again soon!
