Great place to stay!

This was a great place to stay for peace & quiet in the Fort Davis area and easily accessible. The casita was very clean, spacious, well equipped and had two very comfortable beds. It's very close to the state park as well as the observatory, which is a great place to visit.

Enjoyed our stay, cabin was very clean and stocked with everything you need. The host stopped by while we were outside and introduced herself and husband. Enjoyed the wildlife (mule deer) and had a beautiful rainbow the first night and a gorgeous sunrise the next morning.

Peaceful! Just what we wanted!

The Casita was clean and comfortable. It was well supplied. We enjoyed being in the country but close enough to town if we needed anything. Perfect!

The host was very welcoming and everything was exactly as she said it would be. The Casita is a wonderful place for a great mountain get-away with all the amenities it touts. We made immediate use of the washer and dryer as we had a week's worth of laundry to do. Everything we needed was there, although I did furnish my own laundry detergent, but detergent was already there (the same brand!)

This is a very clean casita and had everything we needed and more! The hostess is wonderful, and furnished the casita with so many helpful extras such as books, maps, and more. It is in a perfect location for visiting Davis Mountains National Park and the McDonald Observatory.
