The Cowboy House - Rustic charm

The Cowboy House is a charming one bedroom, one bath home with a full kitchen conveniently located within walking distance of downtown Alpine. It is perfect as a home base while you explore the surrounding areas of the Big Bend. Cowboy House features a rustic western theme indicative of the wild west era that is a rich part of the local history. Off street parking is available for guests. Cowboy House is pet friendly with advance notice and a pet fee.

TV - There is not cable or satellite service, however you may log into your account on the smart TV to watch your shows.

Please be aware that the desert terrain can be quite harsh for pets that are not used to it. Dogs shoes are recommended.
We have just a couple of rules:
1. No Smoking inside (there is trash receptacle on the back porch)
2. No Parties or Events
3. Pets only with prior notice and a $40 pet fee which we will request a few days before arrival.

Also beware that we have the property regularly treated for pests. However, if you leave food or crumbs out it is very likely to attract ants into the property.

Great home base
Great little home for our Big Bend visit. This home was our home base for our trip. It’s perfectly situated for our excursions to Big Bend, Marfa, Balmorhea etc. The only suggestion I have is an upgrade on the bed. The home is furnished with everything we needed. Definitely book again.

Cowboy House
Overall clean, comfortable, and convenient to places of interest to us. Not as quiet as expected (nearby train tracks), but we were not greatly disturbed by any noise. Front door latch was binding such that it could not be operated from the outside, but the back door was convenient for almost all our purposes. Appliances all worked fine (did not use the washer/dryer). I would recommend this property to anyone visiting Alpine.

One night
Wasnt what we expected. Didn't realize it was right on main street. The house smelt old. Couch was not comfortable and the TV was way to high to watch without your neck hurting. Bed was comfortable. The house that showed from outside was not the house. It was just ok for one night. Slept good though.

Accessible, convenient, central location
Kitschy & charming house right in the center of Alpine. PSA: bring ear plugs if you're sensitive to street noise and sleeping in the common area/futon. Easy to find, check-in, and had all we needed with the exception of extra bedding for a second guest. However, the hostess was accommodating and quickly responsive. Lovely stay, recommended for traveling with pets.

We love this area, and this was our first time to stay at The Cowboy House. The listing information is accurate. Fenced-in front and backyard additionally. Can’t say enough about the communication with management as well. Highly recommended.

Alpine is a cute little town and perfect for visiting the Big Bend and surrounding areas, but the best part of our trip was the comfort and charm of coming back after a day of adventure to the Cowboy House

It was a little narrow in some places for my husband who is 6’3”. But the space and the appointments were very nice. It was comfortable and our stay was very enjoyable. Nice location for grocery and eating out.

Charming place, and whoever remodeled it did wonderful job! Outlets everywhere, great appliances.. love the woodwork and cabinets. Then whoever decorated it was awesome. Since we were here for the Cowboy Poetry Gathering, how appropriate we stayed at Cowboy House. Convenient location to everything.

We loved the theme. Most of the things were old but some new. The new was the utmost of uniqueness; an armadillo that had been to nothing but its shell. It was turned into a basket; I really wanted it! The bed was comfortable and the kitchen was so quaint. The backyard was small but had everything we needed. You would like the stay; we did.

Great House!
This was my first time renting a house instead of a hotel for a trip. The host April was so very nice and answered all of my questions quickly. The house is close to everything you would want to do in the Alpine area. The house was very cozy. Just what we needed for our stay.

Cowboy House
The Cowboy House is charming and has everything one would like in a vacation rental, including a washer/dryer. We liked it so much we stayed there a second time. The house actually looks nicer in person than in the photos we saw. The area it's in is very quiet and because it's in the middle of town, you can walk to the restaurants. The rooms are a nice size, including the bathroom. We particularly liked it because it was very homey and had lots of personality!

This was a wonderful place to stay with a backyard for the dog to stretch her legs. April was extremely kind and easy to communicate with. Loved the decor and time put in to make the house feel like a home.
