About this property

Lofted & Heated Yurt in Big Bend @ Casa Estrella

Heated & Insulated West Texas Boho Yurt @ Casa Estrella with a Twin Peaks view! Take part in big sky star gazing with a desert rest and relaxation experience. Casa Estrella brings serene views and rest for the busiest of travelers. Ask about our second yurt if you have more than one group.

Near town, 30 minutes from Fort Davis, Marfa, and Marathon. The Big Bend National Park, Terlingua, and Lajitas are roughly 100 miles away.

Enjoy the Gateway to the Big Bend while staying comfortably!

Big stars under a big yurt at the gateway to The Big Bend ! This heated and insulated beautifully decorated with west Texas and boho decor has beds to comfortably sleep four and has room to sleep additional guests upon request. Casa Estrella feels adventurous and unique just like the terrain of Far West Texas and when you break from the terrain you can enjoy wifi, smart tv, nice cool ac or a warm escape from the cool desert nights. Rest and relax in the true to western fashion clawfoot tub or shower under the stars in a “perfect for the dessert” outdoor shower. West Texas cuisine is just minutes away but if the yurt is where your hat hangs, Casa Estrella boasts a stocked kitchen for refueling and an outdoor grilling area for making nourishing meals for you and your fellow guest.

This big beautiful yurt is only minutes from all things Alpine, under 30 minutes from Fort Davis, Marfa, and Marathon. The Big Bend National Park, Terlingua, and Lajitas are roughly 100 miles away, and the drive is ruggedly beautiful.

The whole unit is yours and the dog park is available to you. On site private parking is available for up to 2 vehicles. Additional space is available if needed.

I won’t be available in person
I live in San Angelo, but am available through text and message to answer any & all questions.

This property located close to town and easily accessible. You will have to drive down a narrow paved road, and there are two speedbumps (slow down). The unit is located behind a privacy fence built from 100+ year old fence posts repurposed for esthetics and maximum privacy without loosing the view.

Cerca del Cielo has a gravel circular drive and private/dedicated parking outside the yurt.

No smoking in our tiny home please ! You will be charged an additional $100 if you decide to smoke in the home to cover cleaning expenses.

Wonderful stay!

Absolutely wonderful place to stay, my partner and I wanted somewhere other than a hotel to stay for our visit to big bend, and we were amazed by how clean and cute the property was and how communicative and helpful the owner was. Provided local recommendations, extra accommodations, and quick replies if we needed anything else! We’d love to stay again!

We had the most wonderful time during our stay! The yurt is better than the pictures, it is truly magical. The beds were very comfortable and the whole place was super clean and cozy! Alpine also has a very cute little downtown that is fun to wander around. The host was also great!! I would absolutely stay here again!!

The Cutest Yurt

We enjoyed our stay at Casa Estrella! This was the cutest yurt with great decor and furnishings. We had everything we needed and there was so much space. The design and layout was perfect. It was close enough to downtown yet you felt secluded which was exactly what we wanted.

Perfect stay!

We absolutely loved our stay at Cerca del Cielo! Everything we needed was provided, and the place is even more charming than it looks on the pictures. It was nice to be nearby Alpine, which had everything we needed, but the neighborhood was quiet and we felt like we were away from it all. The loft was perfect for our kids, and we slept very well in the queen size bed. Our only regret was that we didn't get to spend more time there!

Awesome Place!

We stayed for one night only, but everything was exceptional. My son loved the place and wants to come back. Everything was provided for a comfortable stay. Everything was clean and beds were comfortable. The night got chilly, but heating was adequate. The host was very helpful and friendly on text before and during our stay. She even recommended places to eat and they were great! I would definitely recommend staying here.

Unique experience

We loved our stay in the yurt. My kids 6 and 10 enjoyed making s'mores and stargazing at night. It was so comfortable after a long day of hiking at Big Bend. We came during a cold spell in April and were impressed by the heat in the yurt. It was a unique experience and we would stay here again. Communication with the host was easy and her replies were prompt. The yurt was clean and decorated so well.
