Our family of 4 had an incredibly comfortable 3-night stay at this beautiful hillside home. The location is unbeatable—stunning Davis Mountain views, yet just minutes from the State Park, McDonald Observatory, and Main Street Ft. Davis.The house is spacious with authentic Texas charm, great bedrooms, a fully stocked kitchen, and plenty of room to relax.Best of all, the incredibly dark skies made this home the perfect base for astrophotography. We easily set up our gear right on the property to capture deep sky objects. Highly recommend!
