Everything was perfect! Communication was top notch. The town was lovely. The location safe and the vibe exactly what I was looking for. Felt like a local walking to town and everyone saying hi. Just a perfect experience.

Home away from home

We absolutely loved our 2 nights at Casa de Amigos. We were visiting our granddaughters and attending our middle granddaughter’s communion. Will definitely look forward to staying there again.

Close to town. Quiet street, little traffic. Comfortable beds, clean and fairly well stocked.

Once you get use to train whistles and dog barking, it's pretty peaceful.

Thank you for your review Marene! Just wanted to let you know the train whistles are heard pretty much all through the center of town, unfortunately. We hope you enjoyed the house and your stay for the most part!

Adorable house with full kitchen and perfect location for attending Alpine events and visiting Big Bend, Fort Davis and Marfa. Ryan and Ralph were great to respond to questions. Check in was seamless. I loved that there was a ton of info about local places and a great list of eating in Alpine. We truly loved the house and decor and can't wait to come back.

Anniversary weekend

Loved the home. Inside was very clean and comfortable. The only issue I had (and it was my problem not the host) was that I couldn’t figure out how to work the television in the bedroom. Our favorite part was sitting on the front porch having a drink.

Snowstorm in Big Bend

We arrived to the property during some unusually cold weather. The host already had the heater going and everything set up. The house had everything we needed and we loved staying here. It gave us some good memories in the snow!

It’s a great place to stay while visiting relatives. A wonderful back yard with a table and chairs. It was just a wonderful, clean little house. Perfect 🙂. Thank You

Ok but not great

Cute house on inside but very small bathroom with a very large shower. Rented the house because I wanted to cook for my relatives but had to partially clean the oven as it was filthy and burners on stove did not fit the drip pans so pots and pans were all slanted which made it difficult to cook. My contact person was very nice and would respond quickly to my text to him and apologized for the oven and offered to come clean it, however, i declined as I told him I would take the worst off but it would need to be thoroughly cleaned for the next guest. We did leave a day earlier than planned.

Thanks for your review Martha. We are sorry your stay was not a good experience.. We again apologize for the oven being dirty, it was something that was inadvertently overlooked. Prior to your review we had not had any negative reviews;. We understand it was an inconvenience and the issue with the stove has been resolved.

Quaint and cozy.

Well located for all we did in Alpine, Marfa and Ft. Davis. Heating was more than adequate for the small area. Had a little trouble with the TV remote.but nothing major. Beds were comfortable and warm. Could have used more lighting in the kitchen and another shelf in the bathroom. Due to weather, didn't have a chance to use the outdoor area. Very enjoyable stay.

Very clean. Very well stocked. Smelled amazing. Private.

The owner was very responsive. The house was very well stocked with extra linens & towels. Plenty of dishes & cooking gear. The ONLY thing I would have brought had I known would be a stock pot {made spaghetti} & an electric griddle. The back yard at night is amazing in the full moon!!! Will be staying again!!!!!
