Perfect getaway and great location
We loved the cabin. So secluded. Just what we were looking for. Great front and back porches and plenty of space inside. Loved the location. So close to the Davis Mountains state Park and so many towns to visit. Saw so much wildlife hiking the property. Turkeys, deer, javelinas bunnies and birds. The mountain views are stunning.
Scenic setting with comforts of home
We had a spectacular stay. We were there for my husband's birthday and was looking for a place in the mountains. The cabin was cozy and comfortable. We found Fort Davis to be a delightful town with lots of colorful locals. While staying there we encountered several native animals and it was great fun to be able to observe them in their own settings. We toured Marfa one day and the Fort the other day.
Only downside and it was not related to the cabin at all, was lunch/dinner options. We found the local area to be on their own time. Lunch is very limited to one or two places and dinner is great if there isn't a local event. Otherwise the small restaurants are not able to handle the volume. Recommend you bring groceries to the cabin and make lunch. You might be frustrated otherwise. Great stay would recommend this to couples and individuals wanting to connect with nature or to get away from the hustle of city life.
So peaceful and perfect!
Our family recently stayed at Jennifer's place for several days and absolutely loved it. The cabin was perfect for us and our boys loved taking hikes and looking for 'crystals'. So many sweet family memories were made during our vacation here. We plan to return.
Exactly what we were looking for...
Such a lovely place. We were able to get tons of hiking in and saw all kind of animals. We even saw a Jaguarondi (had no idea what it was until we googled). The property could not be more secluded and quiet yet it is close enough to the state park and the McDonald Observatory (strongly urge to go) to enjoy. The only thing that could have made it better would be able to stay longer.
Charming, private cabin!
This cabin was lovely. My girlfriend and I stayed here for three nights and had a fantastic time in the area. The cabin was clean, the bed was comfortable and all the kitchen amenities were provided as advertised. The cabin is located on a piece of property behind a gate, far from any other houses and has great views of the surrounding landscape. Private as it is though, the location is pretty convenient. We went to the McDonald Observatory one night, Marfa for a day and even trekked down to Big Bend for another day. All were doable from this location and this was a great place to come back to after a long day of exploring. Would recommend this place without hesitation!
Best back to nature experience ever!
Loved this little cabin nestled in the mountains. Saw many wild critters and enjoyed the stream out back. Spent time roasting marshmallows and hot dogs and just sitting on the porch listening to the birds. Will definitely come back again.
