Casa La Vista, Baby!

Perfect house for our weekend trip to Big Bend. My husband and I stayed with our two young boys- ages 2 and 6. We loved the views, easy access to town and to the main roads to Alpine and Big Bend. The house has everything you need. Loved that it didn’t have too much unnecessary stuff— too often rental homes have furniture and knick knacks that make the home not too kid friendly. We enjoyed spending time on the back porch watching the sunset and playing around the small pond. My boys loved watching the train. I saw in other reviews some comments about the train. We rarely noticed it unless our 2 year old pointed it out. My only suggestion is to bring a fan if you like to sleep cool at night. It was a very hot weekend, highs around 100, and we found the bedroom had a hard time cooling off at night. Thankful we brought a fan from home. Hope we can return sometime!

Great location for visiting Big Bend.. Make sure to visit the Gage gardens while you are there.

Very nice home.

Really nice location on the edge of town with great vistas of the mountains. Nice yard too with a little pond and outdoor sitting area. (You can still hear the Marathon train, but that's true anywhere in this town.) Great working fireplace and all the necessary amenities. Love the Mexican style bathroom. Some of the furniture and comforters could use some sprucing up - just a bit on the rough side - and the kitchen could use some more items to make cooking easier, but all very nice. Very nice hosts too.

I've attended yoga retreats at Casa La Vista and its adjoining property. I found this West Texas ranch home with its beautiful rustic-chic decor so comfortable and peaceful. Whether relaxing by the indoor fireplace with a good book and a glass of wine or waking up to the view out the back patio while drinking my coffee and watching Mother Nature's daily show, I found just what my soul needed. When can I move in permanently??? ;-)
