Loved this place and will definitely be back. Loved the mountain views and the porches and being able to star gaze with no light distractions anywhere around and the place was comfortable and just what we needed to explore Fort Davis and Big Bend area!

If you're looking to escape the crowds and enjoy the quiet beauty of the desert and unbelievable night sky viewing, this place is for you. The home is very old but inside has been nicely updated, and the covered porches on all sides were a nice touch. We will definitely stay again if we find ourselves in Fort Davis.

Outstanding stay at the Rock House at High Frontier in Fort Davis. The setting is exceptional, with sweeping mountain and canyon views, incredible stargazing, and a peaceful, secluded feel.The home is comfortable and well-designed, with a rustic interior, cozy fireplace, and large windows that bring the desert landscape inside. It is perfectly located to explore McDonald Observatory, Marfa, and Big Bend National Park.Maggie, the property manager, was excellent. Very responsive and made everything seamless.Highly recommend for anyone looking to experience West Texas with both comfort and authenticity.

Perfect house

The four of us loved staying at this house. It was perfect for a gathering place with other family members staying at the state park. The kitchen was well equipped, beautiful property to explore and the fireplace was ideal. We would definitely stay here again if in the area.
