We were so very happy with the house- very comfortable for our family of 3, clean, lots of porches and shady places to lounge, amazing views, secluded, wildlife all around, and so much space to hike and explore. We would definitely stay again.

This was our 3rd time staying at the cabin. Great spot with all the comforts of home. Remote but close enough to town and the state park. We will be back! Thank you for sharing your house Jennifer.

We spent the week here for our honeymoon, it was wonderful. We had plenty of amenities, everything we needed to cook meals with, and enjoyed the solace together in nature. We will be back in the future!

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.

Very well organized cabin. Easy drive to the property. Javalina, turkeys and deer add to the experience. Loved having coffee on the porch while enjoying the mountain views.

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.

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.

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.

My brother and I are astrophotographers. We chose this location since it is ideal for astronomy with no city or neighborhood lights. The house was ideal for our needs. Had all the creature comforts including good WiFi which comes in handy when our computers or software need on the spot updating. The setting is secluded, peaceful and a great place to unwind yet still close enough to Fort Davis for grocery shopping etc. overall this facility and Jennifer exceeded our expectations. We look forward to staying here again for our next astronomy junket or for a secluded stay with my wife. The house is large enough for two couples to stay. The directions were timely and accurate. Easy to check in. Had everything we needed for cooking and comfort. Great air conditioning which was very appreciated as the temp was near 100 outside.

Clean. Beautiful views. No one in sight except for cars way off in the distance. A tight fit for four of us, ie wife and 2 teens. Surprised they had decent Wi-Fi. Screened back porch with table for 4, open front porch with adorondike(sp?) and rocking chairs. Would to live there. Wonderful experience

What a beautiful ranch and wonderful property! Secluded…tucked away in the mountains…yet a few miles to Ft. Davis and the Davis Mountains SP. The Observatory is also a quick drive from the cabin. Perfect get-a-way for a couple wanting quiet and relaxation!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Both porches are exceptionally relaxing spots for your morning and evening beverages. Nearby attractions to enjoy in the afternoon make you feel like you actually saw the sites. My husband was able to set his equipment of several nights for astrophotography. He is pleased with what he shot so far.

Wonderful place to get away and unwind! No neighbors but close to town. Don’t expect a paved road to the door, it’s a typical country farm road just like I grew up on and learned to drive. Take it easy and you’ll be fine. Cabin is cozy and clean. Great porch to sit and ponder life or just forget about everything! Not fancy but has everything you need. We slept like babies and woke refreshed everyday. Just what a mountain getaway should be!

The 360 degree view around the cabin is all mountains, cliffs, grasses, bushes, cactus, trees all with no traffic, no cars, no lights, no noise--solitude. The dirt road from 118 is 1/2 mile to the locked gate. The dirt road from the locked gate is one mile to the cabin--totally private with no entry except for the owner.

We stayed here in June and loved it. It’s the perfect mix between a secluded mountain cabin but a very short drive to town to grab food or groceries. The views are beautiful and it’s very close to the observatory. We will def stay here again.

Thanks so much for the chance to stay at Cabana Escondida. It was everything and more for what we needed in a summer reset: a gem hidden in a secluded, beautiful, and peaceful setting. I can’t imagine a better place to stay. We had a great time. The cabin was not fancy, which was perfect because we don’t need nor want fancy. Instead it was perfectly comfortable, clean, and well equipped. Thanks again :)

We have really enjoyed staying here for the past two years when our kids attended Prude Ranch Summer Camp in Ft. Davis. This cabin is perfect for 2 people. Beautiful surroundings and close to town but far enough away that you don't hear any sounds from town. Extremely peaceful. Would recommend to anyone trying to get away and enjoy the beautiful Davis Mountains. Great wi-fi in the cabin as well.

I found the listing and was hopeful it would be as it appeared. It was BETTER! So much better. The cabin is very clean and well appointed with anything you would need. The bed was comfortable and the spaces were ample. what the pictures do not show you are... the sweet breeze that whiffs across the porches, the sound of so many bird variety sweetly singing, the absence of all the sounds of city life, and the stars! Oh my, so beautiful. I can say, I really did not want to leave. We were lucky to see deer, turkey, baby hogs, rabbits, and so many birds. My husband, the history buff was so interested in the article about the ranch that is hanging in the kitchen. As is usual he wanted to know even more. If you are interested in a true get away from city life, I highly recommend La Cabana Escondido.

Nice totally secluded cabin.

I loved the total seclusion of the cabin. The location is fantastic! I do have two suggestions. Please have some instructions in the cabin on how to use the thermostat. We had never seen one like that before. And you need to get an electrician to work on the toggle switches in the bathroom. Otherwise everything was great. Wish we had had more time to spend there.

Great Place for a Short Stay

Great Place for a Short Stay

We stayed the first part of December and got to see the gold fall color in trees along the creek. The cabin is warm, quiet, and well outfitted with a small refrigerator and and small electric coil range. Porter’s grocery is close and there are restaurants nearby. The ceiling fans, wall unit a/c and baseboard heater are quiet, and the roll down shades block out all the light. The host is very helpful and replies quickly and has decorated the place with a simple artistic rustic vibe that fits the area. We enjoyed our stay, it felt like home.
