About this property

Rustic Western Experience With Hot Tub For Stargazing - No Extra Fees

A newly-built guesthouse with the feel of the Old West.

We are located far enough out of Alpine to give you a rural feel, but in reality being just minutes from downtown, this studio guesthouse gives you the best of both worlds. This is our guesthouse, and sits approximately 30 feet from our house. The patio shown is part of our house, and is therefore a shared space with the owners. However, we are very respectful of your privacy, and all of the facilities are yours to use during your stay.

Sit out on the large covered porch and enjoy watching the quail and other wildlife, or visit with our own assortment of livestock. We are pet-friendly, and can even board horses for a small fee.

After you have enjoyed your day, relax around a fire in the fire pit, or soak in the hot tub while watching the sky for shooting stars and satellites. If you feel like cooking outside, there is a gas grill available, or you can BBQ over the fire in the fire pit.

Inside the guesthouse, you will experience the warmth of rustic and the comfort of modern from the custom-built cedar furniture and cabinetry to the knotty-pine vaulted ceiling, along with the wall of windows opening onto a fantastic view of Alpine against the mountains. The kitchen has a full-size refrigerator, sink, cook-top, and pantry. It is equipped with a microwave, toaster oven, automatic coffee-maker, toaster, and cooking utensils.

The queen-size custom-built bed has plenty of storage space under it in case you want to stay awhile. There is also a couch that also serves as a twin XL bed, with the linens stored under the couch.

The television is a 42-inch flat screen with satellite service.

The guesthouse is climate-controlled with a whisper-quiet heating and cooling system.

The modern, spacious bathroom includes a large walk-in shower, and a vanity with plenty of counter space. There is also a hair dryer, and an iron and ironing board.

If we are booked, or you are looking for something a little bigger, please check out our sister property, listing #923603.

Come stay outside the box, and experience the true West Texas.

Pet area was perfect with a gated yard for my dogs to roam. Owner had a dog but the dog was not in the back of their house except when we arrived. The kitchen was nice and had lots of extra items like farm fresh eggs and condiments. It was very clean. Host was very friendly. We didn't realize it was a guest house but it turned out to be okay. The goats and chickens were fun!

Great place to stay

Very nice property convenient location peaceful and quiet. There are farm animals to enjoy watching and also local wildlife that can be seen right from the porch. Owners are very nice and we enjoyed talking with them but they won't bother you at all if you prefer just peace and quiet.

This was a great place! It had all we needed and more. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained. It was very relaxing, I enjoyed watching all the animals. Truly worth the price! Added touch by owner was to leave us a dozen eggs in fridge for breakfast 😊. Awesome place

Great peaceful stay

Had a great stay and found we had everything we needed in the room. The complimentary eggs were a huge plus as we didn't have much time to buy groceries on our trip. It made if very convenient to get up and go in the morning. Would definitely be willing to stay in the future.

Can’t say enough about how much we enjoyed this place

This is the perfect place to stay if you’re visiting Big Bend country. Located right in the middle of all the attractions and just outside of town so you can enjoy the peace and quiet at night. Lisa and her husband are wonderful hosts. Make sure to pack some carrots so you can feed the farm animals. Aggie the orange cat is lovable too.

Wonderfully Delightful

The property was exceptionally clean, well maintained, quirkily but delightfully decorated and overall wonderful. Just out of town, quiet, peaceful, beautiful and relaxing surroundings. Host was generously accommodating (I was much later checking in than intended), helpful, kind and mostly unseen. Obviously cared greatly for the entire property.

Wonderful home away from home. Literally hand crafted beautiful cedar interior. Lasting memory for us will be watching the goats, the horse, and the chickens. And then curtesy of the hosts, fresh eggs from those same chickens. We enjoyed everything!

We had the best time at this sweet spot! The views, all the beautiful animals greeting us and the lovely flowers in the garden were a treat for sure. The fresh eggs were a bonus we did not expect. If you come to Alpine, check this charming place out.....you won't be sorry!

Wonderful!

We stayed Feb. 6-8. The property is as described with one exception. It is more perfect than described! Property is clean and neat, arranged very conveniently, and very modern. The owners were very nice and helpful, and had fresh eggs for us to enjoy! Their animals were fun to watch, and it was centrally located to all we wanted to see. Can’t wait to visit again!
