Our stay in Ft. Davis was great. The house was very clean and we had everything we needed. We loved the view looking out the back. It was nice to feel like we were in the country but town was close by. Our stay was excellent.

Judys line shack was beautifully situated in Fort Davis and Jennifer did a wonderful job decorating this cute home. It was an ideal setting and was perfect for star gazing at night and sunrise viewing from the screened porch. The kitchen was well stocked with the exception of a working ice maker which we remedied by purchasing bagged ice. It would have been nice if this had been communicated to us beforehand. Rooms, beds and bathrooms were well thought out and very comfortable. However, future guests may want to know that both the front and back doors could not be locked. At one point during a thunderstorm the back doors actually blew open. The community of Fort Davis felt safe but it would have been nice to include this information in some sort of written communication. We received no instructions on any part of the house including the fact that the “smart” TV was not capable of using apps. Also, the front driveway entrance became very difficult when it rained because it was all muddy and rutted, making it hard for a sedan to easily get in and out. Overall, we enjoyed our stay but would have appreciated more disclosure of the aforementioned issues.

Peace and quiet with amazing views

What a fantastic stay! The property is perfect and we enjoyed all the thoughtful little extras. We visited Fort Davis to be close to Balmorhea springs and the McDonald Observatory, and this location was perfect. Quiet, peaceful, with incredible West Texas landscapes.

The place was Amazing. Exactly what we needed and the view was perfect. Everything we needed was provided. We will definitely stay again next time we come that way. Had issues with getting any of the doors to lock and the shower head in the bathroom in the hall was bad.

A vacation from vacation

We loved our stay at Judy’s line camp! It was perfect after a four day stay in Big Bend to have a nice place to recoup from the schedule of vacay! We chilled and enjoyed watching the horses and cows and oh my…the view from the back porch was spectacular. Very peaceful!

Beautiful Home in Fort Davis

Well appointed home in Fort Davis, 2 minutes from town but feels very secluded. Wonderful antique furnishings and great kitchen. 25 minutes to McDonald Observatory and 30 minutes to Balmorhea State Park (don’t skip this swimming hole, it’s awesome!). Quaint, quiet and secluded, don’t miss out on this place!

Much Needed Peace

This is such a lovely property! So peaceful on the patio in the mornings and evenings. Getting to pet the owner's horses was a bonus, too! Super fast communication for any needs from the host. Split bedrooms make it perfect for couples. Close to the main street in town but still 'away'. Highly recommend for a trip to Ft. Davis!
