Wow! The yurt was amazing, from cleanliness to decor it was so unique. The outdoor fire chimney was a nice add as well. The beds were very comfortable, and the kitchen had all of the amenities you could need. We loved the little community of accommodations it was in, which were all so unique themselves. It's such a great spot with a view of the Twin Sisters peaks. While we didn't have pets with us, it is definitely a pet friendly place, and the resident pup, Waylon, made sure to greet us everyday. Communications with Kimberly and Mikaela were great. Loved it!

Wonderful stay!

Absolutely wonderful place to stay, my partner and I wanted somewhere other than a hotel to stay for our visit to big bend, and we were amazed by how clean and cute the property was and how communicative and helpful the owner was. Provided local recommendations, extra accommodations, and quick replies if we needed anything else! We’d love to stay again!

Great return trip!

This is our second time staying at this property. My husband and i stayed here in 2023 and loved it so much, we returned with our kids. Our kids absolutely LOVED it and didn't want to leave! We will definitely return again when we are in the area.

We had the most wonderful time during our stay! The yurt is better than the pictures, it is truly magical. The beds were very comfortable and the whole place was super clean and cozy! Alpine also has a very cute little downtown that is fun to wander around. The host was also great!! I would absolutely stay here again!!

The Cutest Yurt

We enjoyed our stay at Casa Estrella! This was the cutest yurt with great decor and furnishings. We had everything we needed and there was so much space. The design and layout was perfect. It was close enough to downtown yet you felt secluded which was exactly what we wanted.

Perfect stay!

We absolutely loved our stay at Cerca del Cielo! Everything we needed was provided, and the place is even more charming than it looks on the pictures. It was nice to be nearby Alpine, which had everything we needed, but the neighborhood was quiet and we felt like we were away from it all. The loft was perfect for our kids, and we slept very well in the queen size bed. Our only regret was that we didn't get to spend more time there!

Awesome Place!

We stayed for one night only, but everything was exceptional. My son loved the place and wants to come back. Everything was provided for a comfortable stay. Everything was clean and beds were comfortable. The night got chilly, but heating was adequate. The host was very helpful and friendly on text before and during our stay. She even recommended places to eat and they were great! I would definitely recommend staying here.

Property was GREAT! SUPER cute, cozy and well supplied! Location surroundings and directions to the property via GPS was the only drawback. Still, we felt safe and it was perfect for what we needed. Owner was great to communicate with.
