Great location for day trips

Perfect place to stay especially if you want to explore the area . We hiked the Davis Mountains, checked out the McDonald Observatory, swam in Balmorhea Spring fed pool and had dinner in Marfa. All super close by.

We enjoyed our stay here greatly. The cabin is a perfect size, and it seemed to have everything we needed. At one point, my wife realized she needed to use scissors, and viola, there was a pair in a drawer. Being able to make our own coffee each morning was fantastic. We needed both the AC and some heat during our stay and that worked flawlessly. I guess because it was spring break it was quiet all around us. We loved the retro-style refrigerator. We didn't really use the little backyard and observation deck, except to take a sunrise photo on our last day. It was a wonderful place to stay in a gorgeous part of Texas.
Sunrise from the observation deck at the casita.
Skyline Drive trail in the Davis Mountains State Park.
McDonald Observatory less than 20 miles from the Sleeping Lion casita.
Davis County Courthouse has interesting architecture.
