Birthday Trip

My husband, me and pups came to Alpine/Big Bend Region for a Birthday Trip. We chose this property as they allowed pets, had a fenced in yard and had room to spread out. House was very spacious, clean and comfortable. As mentioned in other reviews, there are prickers in the backyard (not bad during the time we were there). There are dogs at the homes on either side of the house and in the neighborhood. We (and our dogs) also heard dogs barking early in the morning (1 am) plus the train coming through Alpine (again early in the morning). Not a deal breaker but just be aware. The house does not have central heating or air. We came during a freeze. The house does have a gas heater. We did not use it due to safety concerns with the dogs, luckily the house also had space heaters and the bedrooms had more than sufficient bedding.

Cute house with fenced yard!

This is a cute home with a nice fenced yard for a dog. Bed was comfy and there is Wi-Fi and Roku available. Washer and dryer are there as well. Very easy to access from 118 or 90. We only stayed one night but it was perfect for us and our puppy.

Comfortable stay

It’s a cute small casita with all the basic amenities. Our stay was right in the middle of the really cold temp and we’re worried whether the property will be warm enough. To our surprise, it was comfortable during our stay with heaters being in all the rooms. Only one thing that I suggest is to have more utensils (plates, glasses, etc) in the kitchen. Otherwise, it was a good stay for us.
