Summary: Very relaxing and oh so quiet! Well equipped and plenty of hot water. We had a great time in the area and trip to Big Bend. Reccomend Spicewood restaurant in Alpine!

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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!

Summary: 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.

Summary: 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!
