This is our 3rd time staying at this property. We travel to Alpine frequently and this house is one of our favorite places to stay. The backyard and deck are a great place to relax and hang out after venturing out all day. The house has great amenities and Glenn is extremely communicative. Highly recommend.

Spent a couple days here to explore Alpine. Great place to relax. We used the grill and outdoor spaces.

Great property would definitely stay again, enjoyed the outdoor space. House was clean and had everything we needed

Was a perfect stay! Comfortable and quiet area. Will definitely stay again if in the area!

My husband and I stayed for 3 nights while visiting the Alpine area. The house is super cute and clean and we would definitely stay again.

This property at Short's Landing is nicely decorated, comfortable, and offers nice outdoor space for relaxing. Everything you need is provided - such as toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap, shampoo, shower gel, etc. Oftentimes, when staying at other VRBO's, we have had to buy our own. There is one big issue with this location that has to be mentioned - the trains!! Seriously, the tracks are right behind the house and the trains come through all hours of the night - blowing their horns!! (Earplugs are provided.) The property owner was very accessible through email and responded right away. All in all, we had a great time in Alpine, Ft. Davis, Marfa, and Big Bend. If you haven't visited this part of Texas, you must go!!

Clean, roomy, convenient to the attractions we can to see.

This house was really cozy and had everything we needed for a 4 night stay. The only downside was that the train tracks are directly behind the house and when the train goes by it is really loud. Thankfully the host provided earplugs for the evening and the train was infrequent enough to not be a problem. The host was very communicative and everything was clean and ready for us upon arrival. I'd definitely stay again.

My family and I stayed here during our trip to Big Bend. Alpine is an hour away from Terlingua and you have to drive further into the park to hike. For the price, this was a great deal. I wish we could have stayed closer to the park, but prices in Terlingua were stupid so we chose Alpine instead. If you don't want to cook, please note that all restaurants in or near the park have a 2+ hour wait list. It was quicker to drive back to Alpine and eat there. They have a few good restaurants. The house was nice. There's a TV in the living room, and the kitchen looks pretty well stocked with that you need. If you cook here, bring your own spices. There are throw blankets, which were useful when we roasted marshmallows for smores on the back patio. The fire pit on the patio is gas so it was easy enough to use. The beds were okay, my kids didn't have any issues with sleeping there. The train is loud, especially if you're in the backyard, but we didn't have any issues sleeping because of the noise. The bathrooms had plenty of storage and even some toiletries you can use. The furniture was really comfortable. It was easy to make ourselves at home. The front porch was really cute too. The negatives: We stayed when it was really cold out and the master bedroom was getting more of the heat than any other part of the house. We ended up keeping the door open to let some of the heat out so we could sleep without sweating. The showers need to be updated. Clear shower doors would be better than a curtain. There's no light in the shower and the curtain makes it darker. I'm not a fan of rain showerhead since you can't really get out of the water to soap up and the curtain will let water out if you're not careful. The hot water runs out fast. We had 4 people staying and the master bathroom had no hot water the first night and very little the second night. I texted the owner, per the directions, but I didn't get a response. You can't open the blinds on most of the windows. The ones in the master bedroom point down so the light wakes you up early if you wanted to sleep in. Also, there's no TV in the master bedroom. We didn't watch TV while we were here, but the listing has a TV in that bedroom. I know I'm nitpicky, but I wanted to give my honest opinion.

Property, accomodations, amenties, and communication were all great.

Beautiful home with a wonderful outdoor tv and deck. Beds are comfortable, but close to the railroad tracks

It was a pleasure staying in Alpine! Everything was perfect.

The house was a perfect size for us (two couples). Super clean, well-stocked with supplies, lots of amenities. The back deck was amazing and we loved the firepit. The town of Alpine was a wonderful surprise. I chose it because it was sort of halfway between my sister and me. Turns out it's full of friendly people excited to share their town with you, and there are great little shops and a thriving arts community. All in all, a wonderful stay!

This is our 2nd time staying here and we will more than likely stay here again. We frequent Alpine about 6x a year and this is our favorite place to stay. Spacious, good amenities and great outdoor area. Convenient to every place in town.

This was one of the cleanest properties we have stayed at. The check-in and check-out process was extremely easy. The house was very comfortable and well laid out. Glenn was very easy to get in touch with. We reached out to Glenn in order to extend our stay and he responded within minutes and was very accommodating. The beds and pillows were very comfortable. Although the train track is right behind the house, the train didn’t really bother us. Will definitely book here again.

We were here for a family emergency. This is a very nice place. Very well stocked. Train noise like the rest of Alpine, ear plugs helped here as elsewhere.

The house was cute and quirky. It had everything we needed to relax and spread out at the end of the day. The kitchen was well equipped. Everything was very clean. We enjoyed our stay.

We liked the comfort of being in a home during our family vacation to Big Bend National Park. Also, the home was decorated very nicely and had everything we needed. It was wonderful to be able to sit outside on the back deck to watch the outdoor tv and we even roasted marshmallows one night in the fire pit. It is a bit of a remote location, directly next to the train tracks, where trains came through multiple times during the night. We also had no hot water for showers, not sure what was up with that. Yet, we were thankful to have this home to rest in after visiting the NP. Thanks for helping to make our stay extra special and memorable!

We enjoyed our 3 night stay here. We spent majority of our time down in Big Bend, which is a little over an hour drive each way, but it is worth staying in Alpine for food, gas, stores etc. The backyard was very nice and we enjoyed having a place to be outside. The house is well stocked and very clean and comfortable. The train is on a regular schedule, but it was not as loud or as bad as I thought it would be based on other reviews. It is definitely a little unsettling the first night, but you get used to it. The only negative comment is the area where the house is located looks a bit run down. That said, we had no issues with crime, but we were a bit concerned about that when we first arrived.

Property was located in just the right place to enjoy Big Bend and surrounding area (including Marfa).

Very nice little VRBO tucked into a not so nice neighborhood. Although, felt safe with the privacy fence. Very nice porch & large deck on the back. Good comfy beds & nice open living/dining/ kitchen area. Enjoyed having the “Alexa” feature. Train noise at night wasn’t that bad, because we were all so dog-tired by the end of each day w/ our hiking adventures @ BigBend…slept like a rock! ( although, earplugs are provided) Kitchen utensils & cabinet drawers/ doors could be improved. Enjoyed our nice little stroll through the shops of Alpine & Ft Davis on Sat.

Very easy and smooth

Good location n super cute house!

This a great location for the area. Central to Big Bend, Marfa, and McDonald Observatory. When you are done, there is a great deck to relax on and get readt for the next adventure.

We planned 2 days at Big Bend yes it is a drive but beautiful then went to McDonald’s observatory and Marfa. Alpine is a cute town. Murals and shops we recommend Gringos for dinner. Thanks for bonfire and memories!

Everything was clean and neat. It was very warm and inviting. Very up to date. Has many areas to just kick back and visit. Would stay again in a heartbeat. The train is close, but we are frequent visitors to Alpine and we hear it wherever we stay.
