Beautiful Home, Beautiful Location

This historic house at the end of a street in Fort Davis is on the historic register and rightfully so. The house was very tastefully decorated, the Kitchen fully equipped, and the setting near Fort Davis National Historic Site was perfect if you want solitude and be close to Nature. The Owner and her Property Manager were very responsive to questions and very accommodating. I thoroughly enjoyed the stay.

Beautiful Historic House

Beautiful house with great amenities (even a well stocked bar) pretty porch and an unique area of Texas. An added plus the house has an easy to moderate hiking trail with boulders right in its backyard. The hostess was very welcoming and informative.

Spring break getaway

Great experience in Fort Davis. Stayed 4 nights. Very comfortable beds. Beautiful historic home. After days of hiking we thoroughly enjoyed relaxing with a drink on the front porch rocking chairs or reading a book in the hammock.

Great location.

Nicely decorated historical home, with wood floors (that creak a little). Great walking area with wonderful scenery and lots of birds, roadrunners, squirrels, etc.
