Beautiful home
Highly recommend! Fossil+Folk is an excellent base to explore west Texas in every direction. Adventure and natural beauty abound! The golden leaves of the cottonwoods in fall are unforgettable. We had a problem checking in, but once that was taken care of it was smooth sailing. (A reminder to ourselves to always touch base with owners proactively 24 hours in advance.) Mark's home is so beautifully decorated in a Southwest/Mexican motif that we felt like we were in a hacienda. We discovered something interesting in every nook & wall, and wished we had time to read all of the great books in the living room. The turntable and selection of vinyl records was a big treat! I'd love to stay here again some day.

Charm, whimsy, & comfort!
Top 3 of our vacation rental experiences! Great location for access to all things Big Bend. Owned by artists, the house is pure delight, furnished with folk art/outsider art plus lots of thoughtful and whimsical details. Complete with books about the west; a record player with a solid inventory of Willie, Merle, Emmylou, Patsy, Kris, & other country greats; plus a nicely outfitted kitchen. Bathroom also well-stocked. Beds were incredibly comfy. Hammocks perfect for stargazing. A quick 7-minute drive away from the Chihuahuan Desert Nature Research Center, and just a little longer if you're headed to Davis Mtns State Park. 30 minutes to Marfa. Highly recommend the Fossil & Folk House!

Wonderful place to stay!
This was the perfect place to stay in Fort Davis! The home is beautiful with tons of books and artwork. It is decorated in a way that captures the feel of Fort Davis. It was clean with a fully stocked kitchen. The location was very convenient for our visits to the Fort, observatory, Balmorhea. Davis Mountains State Park. We'd love to stay here again next time we're in that part of Texas.
