About this property

The "Rock House" is located on Texas Highway 118, about five miles southeast of historic downtown Fort Davis. Perched atop a scenic bluff on 20 private acres, guests can relax and enjoy views of the peaks and canyons of the Davis Mountains and take in brilliant skies from any of the shaded porches stretching along each side of the house. Just across the highway is the Chihuahuan Desert Research Institute, which offers a number of hiking trails with sweeping views and a native plant botanical Garden. Less than a half hour from Marfa and Alpine, the "Rock House" is a perfect home base for exploring nearby attractions or attending a Star Party at McDonald Observatory - or for simply enjoying the property's quiet natural beauty.

Beautiful location and wonderful house!

Our family did a weekend get away to the Davis Mountains. The Rock House for perfectly situated and appointed for our stay. The views are incredible and location offers easy access to area attractions! The historic house gives you an authentic feel of mountain living and offers spacious bedrooms and living areas. Maggie was great and we did not encounter any problems during our stay. We will return!

Another Wonderful Time at Rock House

We have stayed at Rock House many times before and always enjoy it. The view from the back porch is amazing, and we love the convenient location near “downtown” Fort Davis and the Chihuahua Desert Research Institute! This time, we were impressed to see new furnishings, new linens, and other improvements throughout the cabin. Thank you for another wonderful stay! ❤️

Amazing Views

We loved our stay at the Rock House with all of its windows and views. The bedrooms all had their own bathroon, which was great. I would highly recommend this house and look forward to returning.
