Great location for day trips
Perfect place to stay especially if you want to explore the area . We hiked the Davis Mountains, checked out the McDonald Observatory, swam in Balmorhea Spring fed pool and had dinner in Marfa. All super close by.

Property is tastefully and efficiently designed for a maximum of two people comfortably. No clear instructions about guest responsibilities - e.g., cleaning prior to vacating.

It’s located in a tightly spaced neighborhood.

Great little property
A wonderful new little cabin that is
SUPER clean. Great location. However, hot water runs out quickly due to the property having just a 1/2 tank hot water heater. So plan your usage accordingly!!!!
Cute little house across from Ft Davis high school.
Matt was super available and helped us with all of our technical needs like where the volume button was on the remote lol and what the Wi-Fi was. Wish it had a bigger hot water tank/heater and an umbrella for outside as the sun is a scorcher, but perfectly located, and just what we needed for a much needed vacation!
