Pet and family friendly! We were traveling with our dog and two kids (ages 8 & 6). The house was very comfortable. We didn’t end up needing it, but I like that the house comes with a washer and dryer. We would stay here again!

Great place to stay in Alpine

If you have a pet or would prefer a home to a hotel, then this is a great place to stay in Alpine. Great front yard and back yard. Walking distance to restaurants and grocery store. Easy drives to Marfa, Ft. Davis, and Big Bend. The hosts were very accommodating and provided every thing we needed. Hope to visit again

Cozy house, walk to many activities

We enjoyed the house, well equipped kitchen and western decor. We walked to most restaurants and activites. Off street parking is furnished. There is significant street noise in the living/dining room, bedroom is fairly quiet. We would stay here again.

Great home base

Great little home for our Big Bend visit. This home was our home base for our trip. It’s perfectly situated for our excursions to Big Bend, Marfa, Balmorhea etc. The only suggestion I have is an upgrade on the bed. The home is furnished with everything we needed. Definitely book again.

Cute little house.

It was a little narrow in some places for my husband who is 6’3”. But the space and the appointments were very nice. It was comfortable and our stay was very enjoyable. Nice location for grocery and eating out.

Accessible, convenient, central location

Kitschy & charming house right in the center of Alpine. PSA: bring ear plugs if you're sensitive to street noise and sleeping in the common area/futon. Easy to find, check-in, and had all we needed with the exception of extra bedding for a second guest. However, the hostess was accommodating and quickly responsive. Lovely stay, recommended for traveling with pets.

Relaxing time in Alpine

We love this area, and this was our first time to stay at The Cowboy House. The listing information is accurate. Fenced-in front and backyard additionally. Can’t say enough about the communication with management as well. Highly recommended.

We loved the theme. Most of the things were old but some new. The new was the utmost of uniqueness; an armadillo that had been to nothing but its shell. It was turned into a basket; I really wanted it! The bed was comfortable and the kitchen was so quaint. The backyard was small but had everything we needed. You would like the stay; we did.

The house is nicely located, and neatly decorated. All utilities worked and it was clean. It was nice to have the off-road parking; however, the gate going into the property in the back needs serious work, and a projecting screw resulted in a deep cut on one of my fingers as I tried to push the gate open. Also, someone had thrown up on the bed sometime in the past, so the quilt and the mattress smelled from the experience. Everything generally was quite clean; so it is surprising that this persisted.

Cowboy House

Overall clean, comfortable, and convenient to places of interest to us. Not as quiet as expected (nearby train tracks), but we were not greatly disturbed by any noise. Front door latch was binding such that it could not be operated from the outside, but the back door was convenient for almost all our purposes. Appliances all worked fine (did not use the washer/dryer). I would recommend this property to anyone visiting Alpine.
