Perfect blend of rustic comfort

Wanted a place to stay where we could comfortably house 8 people, be relatively near Big Bend NP and Alpine, and enjoy a natural setting. This property provided all of these things very well.The home was very cozy and well-appointed for relaxing, spending time together in share living areas (there are two), having family meals, getting a hot shower, and having a good night's rest. It is out in the country up a well-maintained gravel road that can be driven by any normal car and the views of surrounding meadows and mountains are spectacular. There's a large second story port ideal for enjoying daytime and starry nighttime views.The host was exceptionally responsive and helpful--probably the best I've ever rented from. I would highly recommend her and this property to anyone looking for this type of natural but comfortable experience.

Family getaway for Dads birthday

My Husband and I along with our two grown sons and each of their spouses with all three of our granddaughters stayed for three nights and four days. It was a great house with plenty of room for the nine of us. Everyone had space and privacy in the evening but we were all able to gather during the mornings and the day in the large common areas and enjoy quality family time together. Worked out great. Gorgeous scenery and wildlife. Highly recommend this place.

Great Experience

We had such a fun time at this property! With 4 adults, and 4 boys, we walked the property, shot tin cans, fished, played pool, cooked together, and had a fire in the fire pit under the stars. One of the water heaters went out while we were there, and the owners quickly responded and had it replaced the next day. We highly recommend this interesting and unique property!

Wow! What a fun stay!

This house has so much character and was such a fun place to stay! My kids loved exploring all the rooms and the outside property. When we woke up to 4"+ of snow, we were in heaven! The outside area was like a winter wonderland and we chose to stay and play rather than go to Big Ben that morning. The house was clean, comfortable and very spacious. I'm somewhat picky normally, but I loved this house! We hope to visit again in the future! Thanks for having us!

Spacious Family Retreat under the Stars

Plenty of space, comfortable beds, multiple living areas, bedrooms and bathrooms for our family gathering. Large kitchen with an electric and gas top ranges!! Double ovens…plenty of cooking supplies. The pool table provided great fun, as our family engaged in a tournament that the reigning Patriarch won! The only negative would be the long gravel road from hwy 118 to the house. In a truck, no worries. In a sedan, one must take it slow, but completely manageable. We highly recommend this VRBO.

West Texas Vacation

We were a group of nine adults visiting the area for hiking and sightseeing activities. The property was great! We visited the Fort Davis National Historic Sight which was excellent. Across the street was the Rattlers and Reptile museum which was also a great activity as well as the Overland Trail Museum which was just up the street. We hiked the loop trail above the Historic Fort Davis which provided spectacular views. The Chihuahuan Desert Preserve has some wonderful hiking trails and an excellent Botanical Garden. The home was two miles off the highway near Alpine and it was large enough to accommodate our group. The home was clean, well equiped and very quiet!! This is a great place to stay and easy access to lots of outdoor activity options!

Great property

The property worked very well for us with such a large group. (9 people) It was a drive to BBNP, but it worked for us. Remember everything it is a drive out there. The property is very centrally located in between all of the things to do around the area. We went from McDonalds Observatory and all over BBNP. We did some hiking on the property. The kitchen was fully stocked. Lots of extras in the house such as toilet paper, paper towels and trash bags. Did not have any issues with the property at all. Would highly recommend the property for anyone with a large group.

Alpine Revisited

Picked this property because of number of bedrooms, amenities, location and proximity to town for our group. Looked great in photos. In actuality, ranch house is lack luster and encountered safety issues in outdoor spaces. There could be much better maintenance of outdoor areas. Kitchen could be stocked with paper towels and table napkins. Hand soap dispensers in some bathrooms with little or no soap. Views of the mountains are nice.

West Texas family vacation

This large country home was a comfortable place for our family of 9 to rest & unwind over New Year's week. It's many living spaces allowed us to spread out for games, movies, conversations, reading, & rest between trips to Big Bend parks & nearby Fort Davis. The fully stocked kitchen offered all we needed for preparing family meals. The home owners were warm, helpful & easily accessible to answer all our questions. Much thanks to them for their hospitality! The only real negative we experienced was the hassle of having to haul away all our own trash at the end of the week (2 car loads!), a problem they are planning to resolve. Beside that, we would gladly return.

In the middle of no where but only 15 minutes from civilization

This property worked well for our stay. It was definitely isolated, but not hard to get to a grocery store or restaurant. We spent a day in Fort Davis and enjoyed the Star Party at McDonald Observatory. We also enjoyed exploring the property. The only downside is that my parents, in their 70s, had to use the room with the small bed off the kitchen. Otherwise they would have to share a bathroom with our kids or use the tight spiral stairs to get to the other rooms. There is a lot of space, but only one main floor master/king and it shares a bathroom with the two twin beds. Still, we would stay again. Very well stocked.

Excellent !

Property was located between Big Bend National Park and the McDonald Observatory , approx. 1.25hr to the park. Located off the main road, very quiet not a single car to be heard which made for good disconnect time. Star gazing was great, outdoor balcony provided a good viewing deck. House itself was a little confusing at first given its been renovated in parts but after a walk through it was fine - large kitchen, plenty of hangout space across the 3 lounges - we used only 2 - and enjoyed the pool table and dart board. Kitchen was very well stocked with, we did use both cooktops at times. Bathrooms were adequate, clean and well stocked also. No cellular coverage, we switched to calling over wi-fi. Host was responsive, need to follow driving and check in instructions that get emailed to you - GPS map was not accurate. Great stay overall, we would do it again if in the area.

Peace and Quiet Under the Stars

We wanted to get away to the dark skies to celebrate my husband's 40th and my father in-law's 75th. This home was the perfect setting to relax and take in the serenity and wonder of west Texas. The home has plenty of space, is very comfortable, and had everything we needed. It felt more like visiting a family member's home. Unlike some other rentals that are sparsely decorated and don't have enough kitchen utensils, this kitchen was well stocked and even has two stoves which made cooking for 8 people a breeze, and every room in the house is functional and comfortable. The kids loved the loft room off the upper deck which is great as a play room and has quite a collection of movies, although we had such fun in nature we didn't really have time for movies. The game room is awesome with a great pool table and dart board. We loved sitting out on the patio and roof top deck to look at the stars. The property is absolutely gorgeous and you'll only hear the sounds of nature out there, no light pollution, no noise pollution. It is an absolute dream, we had a fantastic time and would highly recommend to anyone looking for a quiet base for your Big Bend Adventures. Close enough to Alpine to enjoy the small town feel, and it's centrally located to make day trips out to Balmorhea, The McDonald Observatory and Fort Davis, Marfa, and Big Bend National Park. Rennie was super easy to contact, although we never needed anything because the house is that great!

The house was spacious and comfortable with everything our group needed. The property has a great history and walking over the grounds was wonderful. There were several sitting areas as well as outdoor seating. It did help that the weather was perfect. The owner was prompt in answering all my questions and was extremely helpful.

Great secluded place to stay

Great place for a retreat. Everything was great about this place . Loved the heating . Only downside is the road to ranch. It was a gravel road and thankfully we had new tires. But felt nervous travelling every time on it . This has to improve for sure . Rennie was an awesome host and was very prompt
