Casa de Agua - Cool Comfort with Nature to Hike

Casa de Agua greets you inside with cool air and colorful Mexican furniture throughout and outside with an awesome view of thousands of undeveloped acres on the Ranch next door. On this side of the fence there are 6 acres of nature to hike up A-mountain. Three bedrooms with new comfortable mattresses and smooth linens, two bathrooms, a 60 inch clawfoot bathtub where you can fully enjoy the natural well water, a comfortable office with high speed internet, a full kitchen, and a two car garage.

Mule deer know. Bats and barn swallows, birds that call the desert home, and those that pass thru the Alps of Texas, like the painted buntings, blue herons, or ducks, are learning-some have stopped in, and just on the edge of Alpine, one mile south, lies Casa de Agua.

Through its windows, in the front yard, serenely place, is a pond. This is what the animals know. Looking out beyond the pond is the magnificent, wide-open, high desert. At the water's edge, the wild mountainous desert softened by this water oasis, calms the spirit and wicks happiness at each swoop of a bird coming for a desert drink. Mosquito fish dance in their pond and find habitat in up-cycled ash tree stumps and cattails that caress the desert landscape at each breeze. This view can be enjoyed sitting outside by the pond, inside from the living room, working from the office, or from the master bedroom. At night the Big Dipper and shooting stars can be seen right out the front door.

Loving nature, the yard around Case de Agua is organically landscaped without the use of chemicals and native plants like salvias, yellow bells, penstemons, Mexican bear grass, and wildflowers, etc. adorn and delight the human eye and provide sustenance to hummingbirds, bumble bees, and other bees of the desert.

Casa de Agua is a little bit city and a little bit country all swirled together, creating the perfect getaway, all awaiting only you!

Casa de Agua has an awesome view of thousands of undeveloped acres on the Ranch next door. On this side of the fence there are 6 acres of nature to hike in - up A-mountain. There is also a treasure hunt for children along the path. Check out the digital guide for more information!

These trails feature is part of the natural landscape which can be prickly and poky. Be sure to wear appropriate clothing and shoes while hiking.

The area around the pond is a common area that can be enjoyed by guests and residents living close by.

Available by phone

Casa de Agua received its name not only because of the special pond in its front yard, but also because it has a unique location in walking distance to a natural foods store called Blue Water Natural Foods, which is an oasis in itself. Open everyday 9am -8 pm, Blue Water provides organic produce, frozen /refrigerated natural foods, meats, vitamins/supplements, beer and wine to the Big Bend. On the road to Big Bend National Park, Blue Water has a great selection of road -trip snacks, cold drinks, and ice for all your adventures here in Far West Texas!

Casa de Agua is pet friendly with prior notice and a $40 pet fee that will be requested through AirBnB before your arrival. Please do not allow pets on the furniture.
Please be aware that the desert terrain can be quite harsh for pets that are not used to it. Dogs shoes are recommended.

1. No Smoking
2. No Parties or Events

Comfort of Home
We came into town for my mother’s memorial service. The house was a perfect match for my family. The beds were comfortable and each of the three bedrooms had its own air-conditioning unit. The view of the surrounding mountains was beautiful. My grandchildren and I enjoyed the nature walking path located right outside our door. Our unit was set up perfectly for our dogs. The backyard was secure and the back door had a doggie door for easy access. The fence is low though, so I wouldn’t advice leaving your pet unattended. Our host were very responsive to any questions. I definitely would stay here again!

Great home!
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this home. Great location and lovely outside area, with flowers, short walking trail, and the pond. House was clean, cool, and well equipped. Beds were very comfortable. A heads up for tall folks or people with bad knees, the couches are low to the ground. Would stay here again next time we visit the area.

We loved everything about it. The two door garage was awesome. The trails and the outside seating was awesome. The scenery and the quietness was nice. The location and the grocery store being walking distance was a nice touch. The ladies at the store are really nice and down to earth. They let me use the baskets to carry my things to the house and bring them back.

House is charming and spacious to fit our needs. Our issues were with bathrooms. Claw foot tub drain was not hooked up properly and we were constantly cleaning up water. This needs to be addressed. The second bathroom the shower curtain felt dirty. There was also hair in the tub when we got there. The yard was overgrown which led to getting goat heads stuck on our shoes and clothes. However, the owners addressed this very quickly, we we appreciated.

A wonderful highly recommended mountain getaway. A relaxing perfect family location for visiting Big Bend National Park, Guadalupe Mountain National Park and Carlsbad Caverns National Park. The unit was lavishly appointed, comfortable and we lacked nothing we desired. Pack your clothes and toiletries and visit Alpine!

Great, quaint, quiet, and ease of access to the town plus adjacent venues was great. The fact you can walk less than 2min to the store which is friendly, and stocked up is awesome. It made our stay that much more incredible.

Could not reccomend more
This places is spacious, has beautiful views, hiking access, and the best stargazing we saw the whole trip. There is a grocery store at right down the hill which has everything you need. I especially loved that the only items labeled in the home were helpful (like light switches). The last few places we have stayed feel like the signage is borderline threatening and very unwelcoming reminder of all the house rules everywhere. All beds were comfortable, plenty of towels and blankets, and a really nice view. Would stay again if I had the chance!

This is a clean, roomy home with concrete floors and a fenced yard, so it’s great for dogs. The pond did not look like the pictures, but hopefully the owners will clean it up. It’s VERY quiet here. Would be a good retreat for a writer. The Blue Water grocery is a 1 minute walk.
