I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this little casita. I would stay again. With my job, I need a yearly retreat place and would love to make this the place. Everything I could possibly need was there. Communication with the host was seamless and response time was quick. The AC/heat units were user-friendly. I love the gas stove. And the water gets HOT! I did not miss the Wifi or the TV.

This is a very nice place to come home to after a day hiking in Big Bend. It is charming, well equipped, and comfortable. The host responded right away when I had a question. There are several restaurants in town, but be aware that the only restaurant that is open seven days a week is at the Gage Hotel. The food there is delicious, but it is a bit pricey. The grocery store is also open seven days a week and although it is very small, we were able to get sandwiches and other items.

Amazing property!! Perfect for unplugging and enjoying life. The home is comfortable and very West Texas, back patio is where we spent most of our time our pups loved it as well! This was our second stay here it's reasonably priced and head and heals above other properties we've stayed in Big Bend. Would highly recommend to friends or anyone heading to Big Bend.Richard & Ana Sikes

The space was very clean and had everything we needed for the week! The bedroom was comfortable and had clean linens! There is a great patio and the yard is very nicely decorated and has a lot of mature native plants!! We felt private and a bit secluded which was nice! No loud neighbors!! Overall very nice and the hosts were attentive to every need and responded promptly. Take food and supplies in from Alpine or from which way you come in!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was comfortable and nicely furnished. The bed was very comfortable, and the kitchen was well equipped. The newly installed mini-split a/c and heat units worked well, and the backyard was very relaxing. Tom was very attentive when we thought we didn't have any hot water and arrived within minutes to check on the situation. The only thing the host might want to add is a tv and or wi-fi. We would definitely stay here again!
