Small casita

This was our second stay with this owner. We have been happy with both visits. The toilet was running when we arrived but the owner had someone come immediately and the problem was repaired before we returned from dinner. The casita is nice sized for the two of us. We would stay there again.

My needs were well met.

The place was reasonably clean. Nobody bothered me. The bed was comfortable. There was no negative smell. I did not see any signs of insect or rodent infestation. The fridge and heating/ac unit worked well.The only reason I wouldn't stay there again is because it's further from the park than I realized.Otherwise, for the money, I could not ask for more.

very comfortable and clean

The house is small, but it was perfectly adequate for the two of us; just what we needed. It was clean; the kitchen was furnished with a good coffeemaker, microwave and refrigerator, as well as cutlery and dishes. Very comfortable; I slept better there than at home. communication was very good with the owner. It's a bit tricky to find so watch the house numbers. The night sky here was amazing. Would love to go back,,.

Someone had stayed and no one cleaned up afterwards. Tried to call the hostest and left several messages and they never returned my call. Had to get another hotel for the night. Tried to call Expedia and they have yet to call me back wothout putting me back on hold for over an hour. Had to hang up. Not happy!!!!!

Great location to star gaze and communicate

Nothing negative to express. Even though the TV was out of order, didn't need it when you have good company and a view of the beautiful night sky. The wifi worked perfectly so we were able to listen to our music of choice. In final, we will be planning a future stay.

This tiny dwelling was exactly what we needed. Our children play football at the local university, and we drove into Alpine to watch the game and hang out. This small cabin was laid out well and quite comfortable. The bedding smelled freshly washed, and the furniture was inviting. We will definitely continue to book this cabin for future trips.

Convenient but bugs

Convenient location to McDonald Observatory (50 mins) but there were bugs under the pillows and around the unit. We didn't feel comfortable sleeping in the bed but we arrived too late in the day to drive around and find somewhere else to stay. Property is at the end of a dirt road but still felt secure. Easy keypad to access unit.

Good location but needs a good cleaning

There were several good things about this place. The sky deck was very enjoyable. The little "cabin" is cute. The location is great for someone who needs to walk a dog. The owner made check in very easy. However, the bathroom floor and shower were not clean. (We wore our shoes) The microwave had to be moved and the top of it and the fridge were filthy. It was dirty behind the trash and in the corners of the room. The sheets and bedding didn't seem clean. We gave this place a 4 anyway because there were so many other good things. If this place had a good cleaning it would be fantastic. :)

one night stand

The place is adequate. If you are not as agile anymore it is a tall step to get up to the door. There are a plethora of electric sockets but no lamps in living area. There is a big overhead light, however. We needed two beds and the pullout couch bed is not very comfortable. it is listed as having a futon as second bed. The bed area had up to date reading lights. There was mold around shower stall, but, the rest of the place was clean. The rental fee was okay, but, it is a really small place and they should not charge that much for cleaning such a small area.

Cute Little Alpine Stay

House was nice for two nights, owner was responsive with questions and also had a nice little info book. Unfortunately it was super foggy when we went so cannot comment on the star gazing deck but would imagine that and the view from the bed are great when it's clear!
