Loved this place and will definitely be back. Loved the mountain views and the porches and being able to star gaze with no light distractions anywhere around and the place was comfortable and just what we needed to explore Fort Davis and Big Bend area!
If you're looking to escape the crowds and enjoy the quiet beauty of the desert and unbelievable night sky viewing, this place is for you. The home is very old but inside has been nicely updated, and the covered porches on all sides were a nice touch. We will definitely stay again if we find ourselves in Fort Davis.
Outstanding stay at the Rock House at High Frontier in Fort Davis. The setting is exceptional, with sweeping mountain and canyon views, incredible stargazing, and a peaceful, secluded feel.The home is comfortable and well-designed, with a rustic interior, cozy fireplace, and large windows that bring the desert landscape inside. It is perfectly located to explore McDonald Observatory, Marfa, and Big Bend National Park.Maggie, the property manager, was excellent. Very responsive and made everything seamless.Highly recommend for anyone looking to experience West Texas with both comfort and authenticity.

Thank you for choosing to stay here with us at High Frontier! I'm so glad I made your stay special and you had a great time in the area.
The Rock House was a great place to stay! We enjoyed the views on the property, easy drive to town, and quiet area it's located in. Overall, it was very clean, neat, and offered a cool experience for our family.
The four of us loved staying at this house. It was perfect for a gathering place with other family members staying at the state park. The kitchen was well equipped, beautiful property to explore and the fireplace was ideal. We would definitely stay here again if in the area.
What a great property, great views, and very comfortable. My family and another family of four stayed for the weekend to enjoy Fort Davis and the MacDonald observatory. Highly recommend staying here. Beautiful stars at night very quiet and wonderful fresh air.
Beautiful cabin! Would highly recommend! The king sized beds in each bedroom with their own bathroom was very convenient. The beds were super comfy, the views were spectacular, and the cabin had everything we needed. Great mini-vacation!
Great 2 night stay. Convenient to the Chihuahuan Desert Research Institute and McDonald Observatory, although the star show from the property was already unmatched! Very clean, spacious and comfortable. Hope to return with family/friends!
Wonderful property with sweeping views of the Ft. Davis area. We greatly enjoying staying in The Rock House. It is well located to enjoy all the adventures the Ft. Davis area offers. The property manager is very available and thoughtful in every way!
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.
