About this property

Casa Acero - hot tub spa, comfortable, views, private

Casa Acero is Spanish for steel house. Constructed and decorated with mostly repurposed steel and other materials, the property has an industrial look and feel, inside and out. The interior is comfortably appointed with luxury items including high-end mattresses (king-sized Tempur-Pedic Cloud Supreme & queen-sized Sleep Number 360) and a supple leather couch to enjoy 300 mb/s broadband Wifi and a smart TV. The kitchen is well stocked (even spices) making it possible to cook full meals. Outside, a 4-person hot tub, cast iron fireplace, covered seating area, table, 4 chairs, and a Weber propane BBQ grill allow you to enjoy the cool mountain air and starry skies at night.

In addition to utilizing recycled construction materials, the house is powered with 100% renewable energy. The house is cooled using three (3) mini-split units. Heating is provided by radiant wall heaters in each room of the house.

Casa Acero is located in a residential neighborhood on a quiet street within a 5 minute drive to everything Alpine. The construction materials and thick insulation minimize outside noises found at other properties in Alpine.

Why stay at Casa Acero in in Alpine? The unofficial capital of Far West Texas, Alpine is nestled in a beautiful valley at an elevation of 4,475 feet. This relaxed high desert town will do your soul good if you need a break from the rat race of the city! You’ll also be close to Marfa’s art galleries and the famous Marfa Lights, Marathon’s legendary Gage hotel/restaurant, and the McDonald’s Observatory and National and State Parks in Ft. Davis. No trip would be complete without plans to explore “down south,” including hiking Big Bend National Park and Big Bend Ranch State Park, visiting the Terlingua Ghost Town, or playing golf in Lajitas. And at the end of each day's adventure, relax and unwind in our hot tub spa. You will want to return again and again!

Whether your coming to the Big Bend region for relaxation, rejuvenation, adventure or all of the above, Casa Acero is your place. The house is ideal for a couple’s getaway, a girls’ trip, or a family vacation in the mountains of the Chihuahuan Desert of Texas. Casa Acero will exceed your expectations!

Texas mountains

Was a wonderfully comfortable house to return to after a day spent hiking in the Davis mountains and Chisos mountain in Big Bend National Park. Beds and bedding were like sleeping in a marshmallow cloud of comfort, shower pressure and temperature was great, Kitchen well stocked and spacious. Fenced yard was great for safety of puppy play, concrete floor was easy to sweep and keep clean.

About the host

Hosted by Suzy & Derek Mathis

My wife and I have deep roots in Alpine. We grew up there, started dating in high school and later married. Being experienced vacation rental hosts and having always loved the vibe of Alpine and West Texas, we made it a goal to host a house, so we bought Casa Acero. We then went to work to make it a place people will love to stay. We enjoy this type of project and the people we meet along the way, so it has been a labor of love. We hope you will enjoy this home as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

We view your stay with us as your vacation so we have equipped Casa Acero for comfort, convenience and enjoyment, inside and out. We believe this differentiates us from other vacation rentals in the area.
