About Jennifer Sproul Whitesell
Welcome to the Sproul Family Ranch, located in the heart of the beautiful Davis Mountains! The original Sproul Ranch was founded in 1886 by Robert Stuart Sproul. Over 125 year later, the ranch is still a working cattle ranch, owned and operated by the fourth, fifth and sixth generations of Sproul descendants.
Jennifer Sproul Whitesell purchased this Cabin in 1998
Why Jennifer Sproul Whitesell chose Fort Davis
We love Limpia Canyon and want to share a piece of our paradise with you! We built the cabin in 1998 so that people could come experience the serenity and majesty of the Davis Mountains.

We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our stay at this cozy quiet cabin. A highlight was the sight of a pack of 42+ aoudads (aka Barbary sheep) from the back porch. We watched them climb to the top of the rocks in the background. Also saw deer, turkeys, coyote and numerous birds on the property. In town we visited the Fort and the botanical gardens. All in all, a good time!

We have been coming here since our son was six years old. He is now 24. It is even more fun and relaxing with just the two of us. Thanks Jennifer for such a great place. The turkey gobbler was not happy with us under his tree at sunset. The cabin has everything you need for a great stay.

We very much enjoyed our stay. We spent two nights here and loved the peaceful atmosphere. You have everything you need in this clean and cozy cabin. We really enjoyed both the front covered and back covered and screened porch. A perfect jumping off point for visiting the Observatory, Balmorhea, Alpine, and Marfa. Fort Davis is also a nice town, and this cabin is perfectly located near downtown and near the national historic site. Easy reservations and good communication with the owner. Thank you!
