A Far West Nest - Perfect for Birders!

Very nice, secluded location just out of town. Surrounded by the mountains have the best views. We had hoped to use our telescope but the weather had other plans. Lots of bird species, deer, a cotton tail. Walked the back property and visited with a couple of mules and a miniature donkey. Owner did a great job decorating the space. Complete kitchen with awesome ground coffee! Wifi was great and we used our you tube TV account to cast to the TV. I would recommend another small end table for the couch. My husband had one and I just placed my drink on the floor. The bed was a little too soft for us, but there were lots of throws, blankets to choose from. Some extra pillows would have been appreciated. I suggested a non slip mat for the bath and I believe they will get one. Overall a great place to stay and feel like you're at home.

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.

Beautiful place. The scenery is amazing.

Everything was great.

We enjoyed our stay here! It was quiet, remote, clean, and just what we were looking for! We would definitely stay again!

Very good place to birdwatch in the morning

This lovely place was exactly as described by the host and the perfect place for birders. This was a great find. If/when we come back to the area, we’ll be looking to book here again.

Nice surroundings, very clean and organized and the wildlife was just icing on the cake. Host was nice and communicated with us promptly. I love Alpine and this lodging. When we return, this is where we will stay

Beautiful scenery, very peaceful. The room was very comfortable and well furnished. A great way to spend some time reconnecting with nature and soul-searching.

Very clean, beautiful views, tons of wildlife to watch. Would deffiantly come again!

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!

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.

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.

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.

From the moment we drove down the quiet lane leading to the property, we knew we were in for a stay of a lifetime. This place is truly a birdwatcher’s dream come true! Within minutes of arriving, we spotted Scaled Quail right outside our window, Yellow-rumped Warblers feeding just a few feet away, and Black-chinned Hummingbirds buzzing all around us. It was pure magic.Our hosts were incredibly welcoming and helpful — it was a delight chatting with them and getting their local insights and tips. Their kindness really added to the warmth and charm of our experience.The room itself exceeded all expectations: a comfy bed with a view of multiple bird feeders (constantly bustling with feathered visitors!), a spacious and well-stocked kitchen, fast internet, plenty of towels — everything we could possibly need. We prefer cooking our own meals, and the large kitchen and ample counter space made that easy and enjoyable.Compared to a standard hotel room, this space felt luxurious — big, open, and thoughtfully arranged. We never felt cramped, and the peaceful setting made it easy to relax and unwind.My husband and I would return in a heartbeat. If you love birdwatching, nature, or simply a quiet retreat, this is the place. Plus, it’s an ideal base for exploring nearby eBird Hotspots — we tallied over 100 bird species in just three days, with most drives being 30 minutes or less.To sum it up: clean, peaceful, spacious, and perfectly located on the way to Big Bend. We highly rec

We like the place very much!!!

My husband and I were trying to plan a trip to see our daughter and son and our grandkids down in the Austin area and Victoria, Texas. Their schedules were so busy that we decided on the spur of the moment to take a trip to our favorite places in Texas. That includes Alpine, Fort Davis, and Big Bend National Park.We wanted to be centralized so I went on VRBO and found “A Far West Nest” in Alpine. The price and location were amazing. We had all the amenities that we needed. And the views were spectacular!! If you’re into birding, there is no better location that we have stayed. But my husband and I love hiking. We spent 3 days hiking in Big Bend National Park, Davis Mountain State Park, and Davis Mountain preserve, and we came back to our “Nest” with everything we needed. To have a facility with a full kitchen, WiFi, television, full bath, privacy, and central to everything is a rarity! There is no doubt we will stay at our Far West Nest again!.

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)
