Clean, beautiful interior
This home is more lovely inside than you might imagine. Beautiful artwork everywhere. Super clean throughout. Good water pressure for showers. Could use a few more items in kitchen as zero spices. (But the granola was lovely! Would be good to have a Salt shaker with salt In it and not packets in it, a cooking pan that is more higher quality (the one there warped a bit and didn’t lay flat on the nice range). Could use some touch ups in the “back” area of the yard as it was horribly dusty to sit out there. Overall though a super nice place! Do not miss going to the Chihuahuan Desert Center just up the road; totally worth it.Coul

Lovely adobe home
We were a little skeptical when we saw the outside, but the inside is amazing. It is beautifully decorated, spacious & very comfortable. Since there were only two is us we only used the front bedroom. It was large with a sitting area & very comfortable bed. We loved the bathroom with its colorful tile & the kitchen was well equipped for cooking meals. We highly recommend this rental if you are staying in the area.

Great house in a beautiful small town
We were happy in every respect with our stay in Fort Davis. The house is within walking distance of all FD businesses but the striking mountain scenery that surrounds the town is visible at all times. My favorite activity, despite the rather low temperatures in January, was to take long walks around the town and up toward the majestic cliffs. We all agreed on departure that it was one of our favorite stays.

This was a very nice clean home, more than I expected. The pictures don’t do justice. There are two full restrooms one just don’t have a bath tub. Location is Close to Marfa, Valentine and Alpine. You could go any direction easily.

Perfect Home in Fort Davis
I absolutely loved staying at David’s home. I was in Fort Davis for a race in the Davis Mountains. The home was perfectly located. I was able to cook my meals and get great sleep the days before the race. The house is very spacious and clean, has everything you need to feel like home. Thank you David, I hope to stay at your place again next year!

Excellent Getaway
This property is well kept, better than described and perfect for a getaway to Ft. Davis. Quiet, great view, hummingbirds at the flowers, gorgeous pine tree to sit under and enjoy the midday breeze. Well apportioned, comfortable beds, couches, furniture. Close to wherever you want to be close to, far enough away from whatever you want to get away from. Looking forward to a return visit as soon as life allows.
