Great Cabin in Fort Davis
The cabin was perfect. Close to town but far enough away to feel like you were out in the middle of nowhere. Cabin was clean and stocked with everything one would need. Had water dripping that enticed birds to come to drink. Could sit in screened in porch to watch the birds. The only thing that would have made it better is if they had a king size bed in the cabin.

Great location
Great location if you are going to see the McDonald Observatory or take the scenic loop around the Davis Mountains. Only a 30 minute or so drive to Marfa or Alpine. About an hour and a half to Terlingua. Really cute cabin with great views on front and rear porches. Comfortable bed, all you need in the kitchen. We would stay again.

Wonderful Retreat
Enjoyed the opportunity to stay at a small cabin in the middle of a big ranch with even bigger views. This cabin and it's surroundings are in line with what's described in the listing, and is great for a solo trip, couples getaway, or a small family (3-4) vacation. The modern amenities (wifi, A/C, etc.) are all great and functional, however, this place really shines when you simply step outside to the open front porch, or to the screened in back porch. The views and sounds of nature are worth the long "driveway" to the property, and don't miss the wonderful views of mountains and huge trees along the driveway. I will definitely be back!

Relaxing Stay, Great Location
The cabin offers seclusion, wildlife, and all the amenities one needs to have a relaxing stay while only a 5 minute drive to Fort Davis. The lack of light in the area makes for great star gazing.

Hidden Gem
Great stay for our family of 4! The cabin is very clean & cute, well represented by the photos. It’s very quiet & great for seeing the stars outside your door. Stayed here as we visited Big Bend, Marfa, Ft. Davis. The whole town lost power for a little bit during our stay which caused some issues, but our host was quick to respond & handle the situation. We would definitely stay here again.

Fantastic Views and a Perfect Getaway for Two
We cannot express how wonderful your cabin was for us. My husband loved the hiking and I liked the privacy. We didn't get to use the screened-in porch since it was winter but I can see how great it would be when the bugs come out in the spring or summer. The kitchen was rustic but serviceable, I so appreciated there being ground coffee to use. Many places don't have even one packet of sugar post-Covid. There were spices and olive oil and skillets. Again, nothing fancy but serviceable. We had trouble getting channels on the TV but we weren't there to watch TV. Ft. Davis Mountains State Park and the McDonald observatory are very close by as is Marfa. The only trouble we had was locking the gate with the chain and combination locks. Not something we are used to being from the big City. Thanks again for hosting us. We will need to come back when it's not so cold and make reservations ahead of time at the observatory.

Perfect Mountain and Hiking Getaway
This place is a gem with stunning mountain views all around. It is also quite secluded yet only a mile or so from Ft. Davis with restaurants and a fairly new grocery store (Porter's). The hiking was awesome with private trails right in your "back yard"---a private ranch with private mountain trails. The state park nearby also offers a variety of hiking trails from easy to moderate to difficult trails. The guest house has a full kitchen, living area, a good size bedroom and bathroom. There is also a screened-in porch on the back. And the night sky views are stunning with zero light pollution in the area. Our host Jenniffer was very responsive and easy to communicate with. This was our second stay here and we'll be back the next time we visit Ft. Davis.

Isolation and Solitude
My wife and I have stayed here on two occasions and will, most likely, return next year. The cabin is unique: no neighbors or lights within sight, serene silence surrounds and insolation in that the cabin is one mile on a no traffic dirt road with a locked gate securing the property.

Host profile image
Welcome to the Sproul Family Ranch, located in the heart of the beautiful Davis Mountains! The original Sproul Ranch was founded in 1886 by Robert Stuart Sproul. Over 130 years later, the ranch is still a working cattle ranch, owned and operated by the fourth, fifth and sixth generations of Sproul descendants.

Why they chose this property

We love Limpia Canyon and want to share a piece of our paradise with you! We built the cabin in 1998 so that people could come experience the serenity and majesty of the Davis Mountains.

What makes this property unique

The quiet, peaceful solitude of La Cabaña Escondida will make you love this place as much as we do!
