The Far West Nest did not disappoint! The studio was well laid out and felt spacious. The view from the bed was wonderful—like an aquarium filled with flowering plants and many birds and pollinators flying at all levels. The quail at the back strutting around were fun to watch. Outside the patio and views are wonderful. Our host was friendly and all our needs met. We highly recommend this cute nest!

Cute one room apartment with plenty of windows to view the mountains and nature. Sit outside and it’s wonderfully quiet except for birds etc. Watching the quail and hummingbirds was our favorite thing to do. Easy to get to town and back. Kitchen had all we needed. Would stay again if the chance came up. If you had questions, someone answered them. A great place to relax.

Well appointed. Everything you need for your stay. Love sitting out on the patio and taking in the scenery. Enjoyed all the different species of birds. We saw deer and heard turkeys. Location is easy access to town. Even though unit is attached to main house it was very private and secluded. Good value. Will definitely be back.

A blissful stay!

The property is located outside of town and is peaceful and quiet. It was comfortable and spotless, with everything we needed. The backyard is filled out birdfeeders, so we were serenaded with birdsong all day. We saw javalina, deer, and a glimpse of a camel! It was magical.

My friend and I just wanted to get away for a couple of days to relax and maybe explore the area. It was perfect! If you’re looking for a place in the middle of nowhere to have a reset, enjoy beautiful views and nature then this is it. The guest house was clean, the instructions were clear and everything worked as it should. 10/10 would recommend. I’m ready to go back to the area and I would stay here again!

Outstanding View

Bird feeders well stocked, the birds were all happy out the beautiful view from the window. Very clean and all the utensils I needed in the kitchen. Nice place to base as you get out and about as I did over 3 days.

Stunning and cozy

The suite itself is cute, cozy, and stylish; but what really blew us away was the views. Apart from being nestled up close to the mountains, we woke up everyday with birds at our windows and went to sleep each night with the most amazing view of the night sky. Alpine was perfect for our trip to Big Bend. Being able to take advantage of the cheap gas before heading into the park for the day was a big plus, and there are lots of unique local shops close by.

Bird central

We loved staying here after camping in the Davis Mountains. We saw dozens of bird species, javelina, deer and glimpses of the neighbor's camel and kangaroos which all seem to be in excellent care.The bird feeders and bird baths were filled daily and the grounds were absolutely beautiful with amazing views of the mountains and night sky. We will be back.

Dark sky perfection

Perfect little spot to relax. Gorgeous mountain views. Quiet and secluded, birds set the background music, modern amenities, comfortable bed and great WIFI. Strong a/c makes it easy to hide from the August heat and nights are dark and quiet. Close enough to town to enjoy the Alpine experience but far enough from town to enjoy the peace of the outdoors.

A wildlife lover's desert paradise...

...from hand feeding deer, to viewing several species of birds including javelina and grey fox sightings right near the property. If you look close enough to the south at Wasserman Ranch, you might catch a glimpse of one of their camels!! The house was clean, well organized, and very well decorated. We'd recommend this location to anyone that wants to be just outside of town in the peace and quiet of Sunny Glen. The communication with the property manager was fantastic throughout our stay.

Great, tranquil location

I came in for a class reunion from the city. I loved being so immersed in a natural setting. It was quiet and it felt private. Only thing Id mention is at night when backing out because it is really dark, I couldn’t tell when to turn…perhaps a reflector you could see from your rearview. (I drive a car without back up camera)

• BREATHTAKING VIEWS • CLEAN • HOMEY •

My husband and I took our 7 month old to explore the West Texas desert for our first family vacation, and it did not disappoint. The house is nestled in the mountains about 10 minutes outside of Alpine, and every direction you look, you’re surrounded by the gorgeous views. One evening we got to watch a massive mule deer from only 30 yards away. The rental was equipped with everything you need to feel right at home. The owners set out a pack and play with clean sheets for our little one. The TV was a smart TV with access to Hulu, Netflix, YouTube, cable tv, etc. The bed was comfy, and the house was SO CLEAN. The hosts were prompt in their responses. We really hit the jackpot with this rental, and we will be back!
