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.

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!

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!
