About this property

El Pino - hot tub, views, comfort, quiet vibe

El Pino is Spanish for The Pine, chosen for the property's towering pine trees and that locals commonly refer the town as "the pine." The home's rustic décor features a Mexican/Southwestern theme with a focus on casual comfort, inside and out. El Pino is located in a family-friendly residential neighborhood on a quiet street at the base of Alpine's famous "A" mountain, a 10-minute walk to downtown Alpine.
Sleep soundly on high-quality mattresses in generous sized rooms. 300 mb/s broadband WiFi and a large smart TV provided. Well stocked kitchen and pantry. Central cooling & heating provided a high quality HVAC system. Outside are shaded seating areas, covered 4-person hot tub, wood-burning fireplace & a Weber propane BBQ grill. Enjoy skyline views, sunsets and wildlife (deer, javelina, fox, etc.) from the front and back porches and at night gather around an outdoor fireplace for storytelling and stargazing. Powered by 100% renewable energy.

IMPORTANT: El Pino is located in a quiet neighborhood of retirees so it is NOT a party house. Quiet hours are strictly enforced from 10 PM to 9 AM. Noncompliance will result in removal from the property. Please book elsewhere if this is a concern.

Home was clean, organized and comfortable. We loved the front porch! AC worked great! Beds were comfortable. Nice carport in the rear. Thanks for the coffee! We enjoyed the 3 mule deer hanging out in the yard! Location was good and neighborhood was quiet. A little bit surprised by some of the unkept homes we drove by down the street. We would definitely stay here again.

A lovely place to relax in West Texas

The home was beautifully furnished and very well stocked. It was a great base for us to tour the area and to ride in the Davis Mountain Cyclefest. Our hosts were wonderful, and even accommodated our last minute request to arrive a day early. We are looking forward to a return visit!

Best VRBO we’ve ever rented!

El Pino was just as anticipated and did not disappoint. Everything was clean and in working order. The beds were comfy and the kitchen was stocked with the essentials of home. Quiet neighborhood. Train whistles on occasion, but that didn’t bother me. Thanks for sharing your property with us!

Easy access to west texas history.

The ElPino in Alpine was a great central place for west texas. Able to hit Marfa, Ft Davis and Big Bend NP. Marfa Lights is just a short drive but no guarantee to appear. Quiet neighborhood, nice front and back porch views.
