Outstanding View

Bird feeders well stocked, the birds were all happy out the beautiful view from the window. Very clean and all the utensils I needed in the kitchen. Nice place to base as you get out and about as I did over 3 days.

Dark sky perfection

Perfect little spot to relax. Gorgeous mountain views. Quiet and secluded, birds set the background music, modern amenities, comfortable bed and great WIFI. Strong a/c makes it easy to hide from the August heat and nights are dark and quiet. Close enough to town to enjoy the Alpine experience but far enough from town to enjoy the peace of the outdoors.

Great, tranquil location

I came in for a class reunion from the city. I loved being so immersed in a natural setting. It was quiet and it felt private. Only thing Id mention is at night when backing out because it is really dark, I couldn’t tell when to turn…perhaps a reflector you could see from your rearview. (I drive a car without back up camera)

A wildlife lover's desert paradise...

...from hand feeding deer, to viewing several species of birds including javelina and grey fox sightings right near the property. If you look close enough to the south at Wasserman Ranch, you might catch a glimpse of one of their camels!! The house was clean, well organized, and very well decorated. We'd recommend this location to anyone that wants to be just outside of town in the peace and quiet of Sunny Glen. The communication with the property manager was fantastic throughout our stay.

Spur of the Moment Trip to West Texas

My husband and I were trying to plan a trip to see our daughter and son and our grandkids down in the Austin area and Victoria, Texas. Their schedules were so busy that we decided on the spur of the moment to take a trip to our favorite places in Texas. That includes Alpine, Fort Davis, and Big Bend National Park.We wanted to be centralized so I went on VRBO and found “A Far West Nest” in Alpine. The price and location were amazing. We had all the amenities that we needed. And the views were spectacular!! If you’re into birding, there is no better location that we have stayed. But my husband and I love hiking. We spent 3 days hiking in Big Bend National Park, Davis Mountain State Park, and Davis Mountain preserve, and we came back to our “Nest” with everything we needed. To have a facility with a full kitchen, WiFi, television, full bath, privacy, and central to everything is a rarity! There is no doubt we will stay at our Far West Nest again!.

• BREATHTAKING VIEWS • CLEAN • HOMEY •

My husband and I took our 7 month old to explore the West Texas desert for our first family vacation, and it did not disappoint. The house is nestled in the mountains about 10 minutes outside of Alpine, and every direction you look, you’re surrounded by the gorgeous views. One evening we got to watch a massive mule deer from only 30 yards away. The rental was equipped with everything you need to feel right at home. The owners set out a pack and play with clean sheets for our little one. The TV was a smart TV with access to Hulu, Netflix, YouTube, cable tv, etc. The bed was comfy, and the house was SO CLEAN. The hosts were prompt in their responses. We really hit the jackpot with this rental, and we will be back!

Enjoyed our stay at the far west nest

So happy we found this place! Changed plans to attend the star party at the McDonald Observatory so needed a place to respite after 5 days in 4 national parks. April’s rental in Alpine was perfect! Spent the morning driving out of Big Bend, wandering the cute downtown Alpine shops and galleries, and visiting the Museum of the Big Bend (they had an Andy Warhol exhibit which was fabulous). Spent the afternoon at April’s place enjoying the beautiful view, yard full of birds, napping, and doing laundry. Having a washer and dryer right in the room was so much better than spending 2 hours at a laundrymat! The room was easy to find on a paved road, clean, well stocked, had an easy to adjust thermostat, comfortable queen bed, good WiFi, hot shower with good water pressure, and soft towels. The room got very bright when the sun came up so maybe bring an eye mask if that bothers you. The cute bird theme with some birding books to look through were a nice touch. Also, the drive from McDonald Observatory at midnight in dark sky country was slower than the trip there (due to the deer on the sides of roads), but not a problem with the reflectors on the roads. Highly recommend this place!
