This is a great cozy house tucked in the mountains. Very clean and comfortable. We had a great stay and enjoyed the Mountain View’s and the horses on the property. Would definitely stay here again!

Very family friendly. The environment was great and the people in the town are super friendly.
This was an excellent choice for us. very well appointed and equipped. We came for the night sky and the McDonald Observatory. the Milky Way was spectacular
The place was Amazing. Exactly what we needed and the view was perfect. Everything we needed was provided.
We will definitely stay again next time we come that way.
Had issues with getting any of the doors to lock and the
shower head in the bathroom in the hall was bad.
This is such a lovely property! So peaceful on the patio in the mornings and evenings. Getting to pet the owner's horses was a bonus, too! Super fast communication for any needs from the host. Split bedrooms make it perfect for couples. Close to the main street in town but still 'away'. Highly recommend for a trip to Ft. Davis!
We loved our stay at Judy’s line camp! It was perfect after a four day stay in Big Bend to have a nice place to recoup from the schedule of vacay! We chilled and enjoyed watching the horses and cows and oh my…the view from the back porch was spectacular. Very peaceful!
Well appointed home in Fort Davis, 2 minutes from town but feels very secluded. Wonderful antique furnishings and great kitchen. 25 minutes to McDonald Observatory and 30 minutes to Balmorhea State Park (don’t skip this swimming hole, it’s awesome!). Quaint, quiet and secluded, don’t miss out on this place!
What a fantastic stay! The property is perfect and we enjoyed all the thoughtful little extras. We visited Fort Davis to be close to Balmorhea springs and the McDonald Observatory, and this location was perfect. Quiet, peaceful, with incredible West Texas landscapes.
Great place to stay when visiting the McDonald Observatory, Davis Mountain State Park, Fort Davis and the Chihuahuan Desert Nature Center. Nice kitchen for meal prep, wonderful front porch and great back patio for star gazing.
We were pleasantly surprised how beautiful this home was …… line shack wasn’t new term for us . But it was amazing . So glad we got to stay there . Beautiful bathrooms and great places to watch the sun rise and set .
Perfect location for our family of 4. Check in/check out process was a breeze! Communication was great and fast response. No issues with the property. Comfortable beds. Beautiful views. Kids loved the horses. Everything we needed and more!!
We loved this charming house! We found everything we needed during our stay. The patio was lovely to sit outside and enjoy the view, horses and cattle. Stargazing does not disappoint out here. Amazing dark skies! This is a great location and we enjoyed all the cozy aspects to this home. Super fast communication with the owner. Definitely would stay here again.

I would live in the house without changing a thing. So inviting and the views are amazing. Amenities are far beyond expectations.
We simply loved our stay at Judy’s Line Shack. The views of the West TX landscape, which we so love, were amazing. The peacefully grazing horses made it even more wonderful. The home is delightfully decorated, and we had everything we need. We have been to Ft. Davis many times over the years, and we are so happy to have found Judy’s Line Shack for our future visits! Thank you Jennifer, for this delightful get-away!
Stayed at the property for a weekend. Arrived Friday evening and the sunset is amazing. We spent most of our time here on the back deck. Beautiful views of the mountains during the day and the stars at night. Close to town to grab groceries or dinner. We will remember this house for our next trip to Fort Davis.
House is beautiful. Furnished beautifully. Location is very quiet and peaceful. If there is a negative the internet runs at about 5mbps. No gaming available. Everything else was wonderful!
Nice home well maintained. The best part is you are out in the boonies where when it gets dark the night sky just illuminates with all the stars. I’m brought my telescope and the location having no light pollution you could really see a lot of astronomical objects!
We rented Judy's Line Shack in Ft. Davis, Texas as a key part of our 40th wedding anniversary and loved it! The home is delightful with big windows, gorgeous mountain views and a big screened porch to enjoy the breeze. The Davis Mountains, McDonald Observatory and Madeira Canyon have long been favorites ours offering awesome star gazing. It was wonderful to have such a nice home as our base. We highly recommend it!
