Pleasant little getaway

The place is exactly as described. Two nice bedrooms, two full baths, beautiful outdoor space, working fridge with ice maker, washer and dryer, dishwasher, televisions. Be advised that it is directly on the railroad track, so trains are involved. (The host provides ear plugs, which is a nice touch.) If you plan to cook, bring your own gear. We donated a mixing bowl and a working can opener to the house when we stayed. Think of it as camping... All in all it was a lovely little place and I would seriously consider staying there again the next time I visit Apline and the Big Bend.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay. Train runs right behind home and we loved it! Such a comforting sound. Otherwise, so very quiet. Comfortable and clean. Everything works. Owner went above and beyond for our special needs. Lowe's grocery store, Dollar General and gas nearby. Highly recommend. Do not miss Museum of the Big Bend.

Great Stay in Alpine,Texas

We spent our Christmas holiday in the wonderful Short’s Landing in Alpine,Texas. Our host Glen provided clear communication. This convenient location allowed us to easily visit Big Bend, McDonald Observatory, Marfa and other neighboring towns. The house itself was perfect for our needs. Well laid out and fully equipped with everything we needed. Nicely furnished with comfortable beds. Our only regret was that we did not have time to take advantage of the outdoor space - deck, firepit, etc. We would definitely stay here again and make time to fully utilize the outdoor areas. The trains that run close by did not bother us at all. We heard them a few times, but absolutely no big deal. Great place to stay in Alpine!

Alpine adventure

This place is great. Location to downtown is walking distance. Driving to Marfa, Fort Davis and Big Bend was convenient. This place is super cute inside and out. I will definitely come back and stay here
