A good restful time
Wonderful time spent with friends in the Cozy Home even though the clouds covered up the stars. Views are great. Wonderful back porch with rockers. Kitchen is great if you like to cook, which we did. Oh, so peaceful.

Fort Davis getaway
Our family enjoyed our stay here immensely! It was the perfect homebase for exploring Fort Davis, Marfa, Alpine and Balmorhea during the day, while relaxing and stargazing at night. The home itself is decorated with care and Texan charm - as native of West Texas, I felt right at home, and I expect first-time visitors to this area will appreciate the authenticity. Plenty of room, comfort and views galore! Hope to stay here again.

Quick Summer Get a Way
Great place to relax after running around all day. Views were amazing, stars were something or if a movie. House comes with everything you could need in a basic kitchen. Soaking tub was also great! Grocery store is super expensive so bring what you need for sure! 1

West Texas Vacation
This home was the perfect launching pad for our West Texas adventures and a comfortable place to return to at the end of the day. It was the perfect distance to the McDonald Observatory, a short drive to Balmorhea springs for swimming, and a day drive to Carlsbad Caverns. You can’t beat the back patio for coffee and star gazing. The home had everything we needed and was very clean.

Great Location for a Stay in Fort Davis
We planned a trip to the McDonald Observatory, which was a perfect location for our stay in Fort Davis, Texas. The property was very clean, spacious and comfortable, and it was close to the observatory, Fort Davis, Davis, and Marfa. The host helped answer our questions and provide information about the area. We were very happy with our stay and would book again the next time we are in the area!

Wonderful view
We were in Fort Davis for a meeting at the McDonald Observatory over the weekend. The house is located between Fort Davis, TX and McDonald Observatory on top of a hill. The view is wonderful and the observatory can be seen from the back porch area. After the last telescope viewing on Saturday at the observatory our guests, my wife and I sat out on the porch and enjoyed the view of the Milky Way and stars until midnight. The house was very clean and comfortable. I would highly recommend staying there.
