Alpine, Texas
We were honored to learn that Lyle Lovett had been a guest at Casa Vida and had written three songs during his stay. He expressed his thanks in the guest book entry shown that is framed at the house. You will be inspired, too, by your stay at Casa Vida ('Life House'), whose name signifies it's contribution to the lives of our guests. We hope that your visit to Casa Vida will also be a treasured experience, to be shared with friends and family and repeated as often as possible.Casa Vida offers the comforts of home, while immersing our guests in the natural and historical perspectives of the Big Bend region. The house itself, a renovated adobe featured in Alpine's historic home tour, is fully furnished and decorated with authentic pieces native to the rugged, yet refined confluence of Mexican, Texan, and Western cultures that makes the legendary Big Bend Country unique in so many ways.Information below details the myriad amenities of Casa Vida.
Two separate and private living areas, joined by access to the remarkable and fully supplied kitchen, offer ideal accommodations for two couples or a couple and additional family or friends. Bring the friends or grandparents and stay in complete comfort and harmony!
The spacious grounds of Casa Vida offer privacy and ambiance that enhance enjoyment of the views of surrounding mountains and superb Alpine climate at 4500 feet elevation. Abundant sensory delights are guaranteed. Little known fact: Alpine's average high temperature for July and August is 89 degrees and its average night-time temperature for the same months is 65 degrees! (heaters and blankets provided year-round!)
Our guests at Casa Vida face an ongoing dilemma: whether to relax at the seductively peaceful and therapeutic house and grounds, experience the surrounding historic district with its distinctive architecture, shops, art galleries, restaurants, and entertainment (you've got to check out Big Bend's only honky tonk, Railroad Blues!)-all in walking distance, or set out on an easy day trip to explore the natural and cultural wonders that lie to the north, south, east, and west.
A quick look at a map and internet info will show you that Alpine is the best home-base from which to see the majestic and multi-faceted Big Bend Country. Let us share Casa Vida-a home that will become a part of your life!
House was exactly as described. Owner communication is good. Temps were cold during our stay, and they only have space heaters in the house so it was chilly. Overall, very spacious, much more than we really needed. Would be perfect during fall weather to enjoy a fire and the big Texas sky. Convenient location in town near food, shops, etc!
We had a great stay at Casa Vida in Alpine, which met and exceeded our expectations in all respects! Very homely and well equipped house, great decor, good location, comfortable beds and couches etc. We loved sitting outside in the sun for breakfast. Would definitely stay again!
My wife and I spent 10 days traveling around West Texas. We stayed in this house the last 2 nights. It was our favorite place to stay on our trip. Super clean house in a nice location. Great outdoor areas to enjoy the evening. We loved the fact that Lyle Lovett wrote some songs there. It will be our go to place for future trips to Alpine.
Very unique property with a lots of charm and all the comforts of home. The property owner was great and easy to communicate with. Perfect location for exploring the Big Bend area. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this property for anyone interested in the Big Bend area.
This is a really cute and unique place in a charming town. Lots of room and comfortable beds. Reasonably priced. We had issues with a couple of items not working, but the owner addressed them, and compensated us appropriately for our inconvenience. Highly recommended.
We were there in spring! They have a beautiful cactus garden and several great outside seating areas for sitting, drinking, eating. We thoroughly enjoyed it and did a little cooking and found all we needed.
Cute house, but wasn’t happy about the neighborhood. We did fine tho. No problems.
Very unique property, as described by the listing. Great communication with the owner, overall enjoyed our stay. Great homebase for a trip down to Big Bend.
Lots of southwestern charm in this unique house. The kitchen is a bit cramped but adequate. The yard was very pretty and the neighborhood quiet. Overall a good stay and lots to do nearby.
Casa Vida was a great home-base to explore Big Bend National Park as well as the surrounding area. We drive into the park on two different days. The route from Alpine to the west entrance is especially picturesque. Drive takes a little under 1.5 hrs to get into the heart of the park. The house is charming and has very comfortable beds. We’d stay here again!
Good communication
We had a great time.
Our group of four women found Casa Vida to be charming, well-located, and comfortable. It has great hang-out areas outside. We are native plant enthusiasts so enjoyed the interesting plantings and butterflies that abounded. The house layout is quirky, which we enjoyed, and we had plenty of room to spread out. We were comfortable even with this exceptionally warm September. We enjoyed being close enough to walk downtown and to Saturday Farmer's Market. The mural map was very helpful and most of our group followed the maps to visit as many murals as possible. Other favorite spots: the Century Bar & Grill, Guzzi Up, Front St. Bookstore, and Whitlock Art Studio.
Really enjoyed our stay in this southwest styled home. Nice and clean accommodations, easy check in / out process and responsive owner. The location was ideal too. Great base to explore the surrounding area. Would definitely book again.
We loved our time at this home! This home was our base of operations for our family of 6 for 5 nights while we explored the surrounding towns and Big Bend NP. The home is older and has some quirks but we thought everything was functional, stocked, and comfortable, so for us it was all quite charming. The beds are very comfortable, the swamp coolers kept the house cool, the kitchen had everything we needed to make dinner, and the showers were hot. We loved ending every evening outside watching the stars. The house is just minutes to everything you might need in town, and we fell in love with Alpine while we were there. Thank you to the owner for sharing your wonderful home!
We really enjoyed our evening wine, sitting out in the quiet, beautiful, relaxing setting there at the home!
Perfect place to call home for a week!
My family of four had a great visit in Alpine. Our stay at Casa Vida was comfortable, easy, and seamless. The property at Casa Vida is well thought out, nicely decorated, very spacious, is in a great location….it just felt like home.
Very cozy and homely house with all the amenities you'll need. Nice outdoor seating area and on walking distance to town. Good basis for exploring Big Bend and Davis Mountains. We spent 7 nights and I would rent this place again.
