Christmas Vacation

To get to the main bathroom we had to go through a bedroom. To get to 3 of the 4 bedrooms you had to go through another bedroom. The fire TV didn't have a working remote. We had to buy dish washing detergent, paper towels, and washer detergent. The "barn" door between the living area and sun room was not secure and allowed cold air to enter. We have stayed in 4 VRBO homes and this was the worst. I would not recommend it.

Big Bend Trip

We enjoyed our visit to Ft Davis and Big Bend. The house was large and met our needs. The neighborhood around the house was a little rundown. We enjoyed the Ft Davis Drug Store and two Mexican food restaurants. Thanks John

Great place got family

Seven of us stayed at this home-3 adults and 4 kids. It was a perfect fit for us, four large beds and a bunk bed. There were 3 large screen tvs and plenty of space for everyone to spread out. We enjoyed eating outdoors, Star gazing, playing in the yard, playing games inside and using the Wi-Fi. It is in a great location-walking distance to store, close to MacDonald’s Observatory and Balmorhea State Park pool. Would highly recommend a stay here.

Older home but very clean

The beds were very comfortable and the house was definitely clean. Being an older home, it had a few quirks but John was very helpful. There is no dishwasher. The second shower is very small but we were glad to have it. The fenced in yard was a nice plus.

A nice and quiet place for family and friends gathering

Nice place not so far from Big Bend National Park (1h45 minutes drive) and very close to some hikes in Fort Davis State Park. Grocery store just 1 block away (1 minute walking). Fort Davis also has a very good restaurant (Blue Mountain Bar & Grill). The house is a bit « old-fashioned » but has all amenities (no dishwasher). TV and Wifi working pretty well considering the location. We were 2 families (4 adults, 3 kids) and had a blast for Thanksgiving WE. Definitely recommended if you want to spend a few days in the area.

Interesting house

Nice owner/manager, always responsive. Could use a deep cleaning, as it has been well lived in with just surface cleaning. The catholic religious icons were a bit much for my jewish friends as well as the political sign on out building. As mentioned in prior reviews, to access nearly every bedroom you had to go through one other bedroom, making it awkward for more than 2 couples.

El Viaje de los Viejos

Clean, conveniently located to lots of activities - McDonald's Observatory, Balmorhea State Park, Ft. Davis State Park, Ft. Davis National Monument, grocery store; some within walking distance. House layout is a little odd. People in some bedrooms must walk thru another bedroom to get to a bathroom. There is only one shower. Located in a quiet neighborhood. Would be great for a family with kids. Hot water was not very hot.

RENTER BEWARE!!

This place is a dump… Squalid hovel comes to mind… It was not ready for our arrival; AC was set at 80 degrees and vents were closed. Floor was dirty… cabinets and surfaces were sticky and grimy… we washed all dishes before using… no instructions for Dish TV or WiFi, which was an antiquated and insecure router… second bathroom is a joke; access to toilet about 18” wide… a warren of bedrooms to the “master” bathroom, where the sink was dirty… we stayed only one night of a planned 6 night stay… motion detectors kept us from stargazing, which is touted in property description… slept on top of the bed covers and couldn’t leave soon enough the next morning… considering the current pandemic, avoid this property like the plague…

About the host

Your host

Our ancestors settled this area in mid-1800, which is steeped in the lore of West Texas History and Story. Growing up in the wide open space of the West, allowed us a great unique upbringing, as ranchers, cowboys and farmers.

Why they chose this property

We are proud to be a part of the heart of this Fort Davis Historic Community, where our genealogical story is preserved in the structures, culture, language and social make up of this area, and sharing our home is a way for us to reach out to the larger community

What makes this property unique

The home was lovingly & enjoyed by our family, whose dad with family made the adobes to build. It is a unique home, with older features, but enjoyable, a new sun room is large and home is unique. The lovely large yard that holds a windmill and rock tank, along with an area to B.B.Q is enjoyed for the outdoors. Plenty of parking on this 1/2 acres. 1 block to the grocery store and three to the Fort.
