Place is a throw back to the 70’s? It’s cute if you can enjoy that style. We enjoyed our time sunsets were great..beautiful. Host was very informative and helpful. Don’t expect luxury just enjoy relaxing! Close to so much west Texas has to offer!

The property is a nice place to stay, right across the street from Sul Ross, and conven/nient to just about everything in Alpine. There is a nice upstairs, outdoor deck that is a great place to drink coffee and watch the day start.
We did have a plumbing issue, but out host spend Saturday afternoon fixing the problem himself, for which we were grateful.
I recomment the Bird's Next.

Nice stay
Our place was nice and clean. Mark was very informative and friendly. Big Bend ( about an hour or so away ) is Gorgeous and an amazing place. We also enjoyed hanging out in Marfa ( about 20 mins away ). I wish we could have checked out the Davis Mountains and the observatory (need to book Night Star tickets way in adv) but we were only there a few days and ran out of time. It was a great time still!

Wonderful Vacation Spot
The neighborhood is very quiet. We started each day of our vacation sitting on the front porch drinking coffee and taking in the beautiful view.
Mark had lots of great suggestions for fun things to do in the area.
While I expected that there would be a lock on the front door, I was pleasantly surprised to find that there was also a lock on the entry door to the porch. (Security is extra important when you're in an unfamiliar area.)
We stayed in June - temps were really high that week - the front bedroom was too warm for the kids to sleep in. Fortunately, we brought a queen size air mattress, which came in very handy. (And since the master bedroom is so large, we had plenty of room for the air mattress.)
Would definitely stay at this property again.

Southwest adventure
Mark was a gray host, very attentive, we didn’t meet but was always available and had a vast knowledge of the area and its history.
The front porch and the side porch were great for morning coffee and sunsets/sky gazing.. Location was central for visiting all the many sights in the area.
Thank you Mark for a great stay!

Great time in west Texas
We enjoyed our time in the Birdnest. The front porch is awesome, and I also enjoyed drinking coffee and looking out at the mountains in the side porch. The house was cozy and had everything we needed.

Great little place!
Awesome access to big bend as well as Alpine. Far enough away from the center of things that it's not super loud. Ample parking for a trailer and motorbikes.

Nice West Texas stay
We came out for a short trip to see the Neowise comet and needed a place to stay. The Birdnest fit the bill for what we needed. The place was clean and Mark supplied some kitchen goodies which was a nice treat. Communication was excellent and he sent us many things we could do in the area. We needed to be able to work and the internet was in good order. The view from both porches, the tiny porch in particular are lovely. Overall a great stay and would stay again if we are in the area. Thanks for having us!

The location was great for day trips to Big Bend etc. The place was comfortable and cozy and safe.
The Birdnest was great! I will definitely be back and tell anyone who asks me about accommodations in Alpine, about it. The upstairs of the duplex was the perfect place for my get away.

Home Coming Weekend
We were given the wrong entry code but the property manager was easy to get hold of. The toilet is not made for a tall person, not much leg room. Otherwise, a very pleasant stay.

Not quite ready for visitiors
On arrival the house was stuffy and warm. Took long time to cool down. Front door screen was torn. One person was stung by bee when we first arrived. Bee nest on porch. We sprayed to get rid of bees. Was asked if wanted twin beds and extra bed. Responded yes. No twin beds or extra bed. Beds not made. Bathroom toilet slow to flush. Coffee pot was not clean. No lights in kitchen. Left over food in frig. We cleaned out. We were all disappointed in house. Found out he had lost his house cleaner. So understandable but he should have let us know. Could have offered discount. Didn't.

Wonderful experience at the Bird's nest
Lovely quaint place in the heart of the city of Alpine. Not only is the place great, but also Mark was extremely helpful with planning our entire trip, providing valuable suggestions regarding food and activities. We will surely be back.

Great Home Base to Visit Big Bend Area
Nice location. Comfortable place to stay. Worked well as a home base to explore Big Bend, Terlingua, Marfa, Ft. Davis, and the rest of the Big Bend area. Great communication by host. Would stay here again. Thanks for everything!

A Fine Stay
The apartment is convenient and the facilities adequate. The furnishings are left from the former residents who made choices to suit them. We found them quaint. Overall the apartment suited us just fine for a month of sunshine in a very interesting part of Texas. We enjoyed exploring Big Bend National Park, the McDonald Observatory, Fort Davis, the Marfa courthouse, and Alpine itself. I enjoyed a wonderful glider ride with Bert Compton in Marfa and lots of walks around Alpine and several trails in the area. A good stay. Thanks.

Best view we've seen -- great porch!
This place is worth it for the porch alone, which looks out from the edge of Sul Ross into and over Alpine, among other places. As with other places we've stayed in Alpine, the accommodations are just a bit on the rustic side -- the building has been around for a while, but is kept clean and in good working order. We would say, overall, that you get more than what you pay for. The kitchen is roomy and very workable. The porch and the front door have good security (not that we had any concerns -- but we're big city people). There is good walking nearby, including hikes at Sul Ross, and you're very close to most everything you could want. We will be back.

Cozy getaway in the Texas mountains
This sweet vacation home was perfect for our family of 4. The kitchen was well-stocked, the beds were comfortable and the views were great! We loved The Birds Nest. It was a perfect homebase for our West Texas adventures. We will be back!

Great location with everything you need!
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving here with family visiting. Had our feast on the porch since the weather was so mild. The Bird’s Nest is conveniently located with easy access to Big Bend, Marfa, and Ft. Davis. With so many things to explore, we will definitely be back!!
