Cozy Home With Mountain Views Near Davis Mtn State Park and McDonald Observatory

Just 8 min to Davis Mountain State Park, 20 min to McDonald Observatory & 15 min to downtown Ft. Davis. The kitchen is fully equipped with dishes, glassware, utensils, pots, pans, coffee pot, toaster, knives, kettle, microwave, refrigerator, dishwasher, oven and gas stove.

The location was perfect for star gazing which is why we were in Ft Davis. The house was comfortable, clean and had everything we needed for our stay. The gravel road could be a bit of a challenge for a low to the ground car. Communications with the home owner was very good and we hope to return next year.

Clean and very comfortable. So easy to check in. Owner gave us great info on how to get to the house and even described the low water crossings with water present. They were a bit tricky and she suggested a go around that was safer. Communication was excellent. Great views. Saw wildlife.

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The night skies are SO dark and the stargazing was truly breathtaking. The house was very comfortable. The beds and linens were comfy and there were plenty of towels provided. The kitchen is nicely equipped for any meal, and we used it frequently as there aren't many restaurants in the area. I loved that each morning I could have coffee on the back porch, listen to the birds, and look out onto the mountains. This is a great place to stay if you are going to Davis Mountains State Park or McDonald Observatory. We will definitely stay here again the next time we come to Fort Davis.

Excellent Stay

We had a great stay at this home! The house was extremely clean & tidy and the floor plan thoughtfully planned. Honestly, everything was nicer than we expected. It’s in a nice little neighborhood less than 10 minutes from the entrance to the Davis Mountains State Park and about 15 mins from “downtown” Fort Davis. We saw deer, stars and pretty plants. Communication with the owner was great. We would definitely stay here again!

Family Spring Break in West Texas

This mountain home was a perfect getaway for our family on spring break with a 12-yr-old and 10-yr-old. The house was quiet, cozy and comfy. My wife and I enjoyed having multiple good locations to ease into the day with a cup of coffee beside the fireplace. The location was perfect for our afternoon and evening adventures — a star party at McDonald Onservatory, seeing the Marfa Lights, Horseback riding at Prude Ranch, visiting Kokernot Field, dining at Reata and several mountain hikes! What a memorable trip! Can’t wait to come back!

The Perfect Davis Mountains Getaway

This cozy home nestled high up on Arabella is a true retreat. The home itself is well appointed with comfortable seating areas and well kept bedrooms. The home decor is classic west Texas with Cowboy and Native American theming found throughout the home. The back porch is the perfect place to watch the sunset before watching the night sky come alive as part of the darkest places found in The Lower 48. The planets, and Milky Way are easily scene from this back porch. If you’re into hiking and star gazing then this the property for you!
