This tiny dwelling was exactly what we needed. Our children play football at the local university, and we drove into Alpine to watch the game and hang out. This small cabin was laid out well and quite comfortable. The bedding smelled freshly washed, and the furniture was inviting. We will definitely continue to book this cabin for future trips.

Convenient location to McDonald Observatory (50 mins) but there were bugs under the pillows and around the unit. We didn't feel comfortable sleeping in the bed but we arrived too late in the day to drive around and find somewhere else to stay. Property is at the end of a dirt road but still felt secure. Easy keypad to access unit.

There were several good things about this place. The sky deck was very enjoyable. The little "cabin" is cute. The location is great for someone who needs to walk a dog. The owner made check in very easy. However, the bathroom floor and shower were not clean. (We wore our shoes) The microwave had to be moved and the top of it and the fridge were filthy. It was dirty behind the trash and in the corners of the room. The sheets and bedding didn't seem clean. We gave this place a 4 anyway because there were so many other good things. If this place had a good cleaning it would be fantastic. :)

The place is adequate. If you are not as agile anymore it is a tall step to get up to the door. There are a plethora of electric sockets but no lamps in living area. There is a big overhead light, however. We needed two beds and the pullout couch bed is not very comfortable. it is listed as having a futon as second bed. The bed area had up to date reading lights. There was mold around shower stall, but, the rest of the place was clean. The rental fee was okay, but, it is a really small place and they should not charge that much for cleaning such a small area.

House was nice for two nights, owner was responsive with questions and also had a nice little info book. Unfortunately it was super foggy when we went so cannot comment on the star gazing deck but would imagine that and the view from the bed are great when it's clear!

I have waited a couple weeks to put in this review hoping the owner would do right but sadly I guess that is not going to happen. We booked for a Thursday to Saturday stay, then we decided to come a day earlier so we added Wednesday. We stayed that Wednesday night.. you can see my previous review... We were out and about the next day and decided to come in for a siesta since it was 106! We got back to find the AC had quit. We called Chuck and he came from work to look at it. The unit would not stay on without the circuit breaker flipping. Chuck said he was going to try and find a new cord and would be right back. While he was gone I put in the door code and 2 more circuit breakers also went out with a loud pop and you could smell them smoldering. I called Chuck and he said he could not find another cord with a safety breaker but he found a non breakered cord. At this time we were concerned with the safety of the building so we let Chuck know we were going to a motel. As we drove to the hotel I got a call from Trish his co-host who said they would be submitting our refund. Not hearing anything once we got home I called Vrbo and they said a refund had not been submitted, they then got ahold of Chuck and he authorized 2 nights refund on our 3 night reservation. I have contacted Chuck multiple times over the last weeks. Seven days ago he texted he had been busy but had not forgotten about us-- have not heard from him since. Our first vrbo experience but we have no trust anymore

Cute little cabin on the very edge of town. Were in town for herping event so was good for us as we were not in the house much. Biggest concern going in was the AC situation. Wall mounted motel type unit did the job... too cold for me but perfect for the wife, which is normal for us. Very much a dorm room feel to it as the sitting area and the bed are only separated by a partial wall. Shower water pressure was amazing and mattress was comfy. Recommended for a couple but think large would be problematic.

I booked here and they went through Vrbo. I had an issue but it would have not existed if you have the Vrbo App. You pretty much need the app for alerts and door code. Property owner responded in roughly 20 minutes of my issue. Wish it was sooner, but not a big deal My only complaint is the fridge is somewhat loud. Otherwise, this property was a nice alternative to other housing options in the area and provided some privacy. Should I have to be in this area, I would book again.

Great place to stay on our visit to Big Bend! The cabin was clean, everything was ready for us when we arrived. The host left their number but we didn’t end up needing anything. The skydeck was really fun. Highly recommended!

This is a very nicely decorated, spacious cabin. There is a nice raised viewing deck (we dubbed it "the skydeck") for watching the sunset -- a special and unique feature. The proprietor left his phone number and picked up right away when we contacted him about a couple of missing items, and he rectified the situation within an hour. A comfortable bed and a well-supplied kitchenette all made for a very appealing unit. The cleaning of the bathroom could have been a bit more thorough, and we were surprised to find no toilet paper and only a single bath towel. (These latter items were provided soon after we contacted the owner and informed him. He was apologetic and responsive.) And there was an issue with the shower door such that the bathroom floor got quite wet. I hope the owner addresses that promptly, because othewise this is really a very nice place. We recommend it.

Property was easy to find. Upon arrival there were a few things that we noticed that needed attention. The property needs some maintenance and upkeep. When contacting the owners they responded and quickly fixed the problems we contacted them about. Overall the stay was average and would be better with some preventative maintenance and cleaning.

The bed was very comfortable. Kitchen area was clean with plenty of dishes and necessities. Bathroom was nicely laid out Wi-Fi was out last 24 hrs or so. Deck needs X-brace as when two adults are up there it wobbles somewhat. Kinda scary. View is great but wobble makes it less comfortable. Loved the area. Quiet and the view of the nighttime sky is awesome. Travel to MARFA, FORT DAVIS and surrounding attractions perfectly situated. Sul Ross museum great to go through. Very close by.

Location was perfect for stargazing! The deck was a nice feature. You can see wildlife walking by, the neighborhood is quiet & the residence are friendly. This was a very peaceful place to stay for a city get away.

Please take these suggestions as instructive: Could use some maintenance updates. The sky tower is shaky. Railings need to be sanded. Neighborhood is a bit sketchy. Door threshold should be adjusted. Mattress was super comfy, though.

This was our first time to Alpine. The neighborhood was nice. We went for walks each day. I would warn visitors about these little demons called grass burrs, sticker burrs sand spur.

After booking this place for a few I asked for the exact address so I can plug it into my GPS. Vrbo said they didn’t have that information. I was told to contact the owner. Owner wouldn’t answer their phone. Owner did text me a message that said check the app, that was all they texted. I immediately called my credit card company to cancel. I believed this was all a scam. It’s been two weeks now and I’m still waiting for a refund.

Came to town for a mule deer hunt and needed a comfortable place to stay. The Cactus cabin was just what I needed, the place was comfortable and clean. Very convenient and beautiful stars at night. If I find myself in Alpine again I would definitely book again.
