    K&W were very welcoming. They provided plenty of information, and were very responsive while we prepared to journey down to the ranch. The check-in documents had all the information you could need. My wife was very pleased with the essentials that were provided in the house like: Shampoo and conditioner, soap at every sink and plenty of toilet paper...yoiu know, the little things!

    Place was one of the best rentals i have stayed at. Highly recommended for any Big bend or West texas trip. Great place for a HQ with lots of trails and activities within a hour or 2.

    This was our second annual trip to K& W ranchita. Another great trip, the new addition of the plunge pool is awesome! House has our favorite views and always a great sleep!

    The owners clearly set high standards with their home, from its appearance to its amenities. The location was perfect for our group, as our activities included Big Bend Parks and Ft Davis Observatory, while providing close proximity to Alpine’s dining. The unobstructed views from both inside and outside the home are unbeatable! The oversized porch swing was a personal favorite spot for hanging with the bunnies during the day and star gazing at night. Would recommend for romantic getaway, solo traveler, or family trip. Respect for the oak tree resting spot.

    Sunrises in the morning. Sunsets in the evening with the stars all around. This place has it all. It’s clean and everything you need. A great location too. And the yard was the bonus Our dog totally enjoyed running in the perfectly grass fenced yard.

    This house is perfect for multiple families! Very clean and spacious! Not to mention the amazing grass and fenced in back yard. Our kids had the best time playing in the grass. At night we sat outside and saw so many falling stars! Confortable beds. Everything was perfect!

    My family of 5 and two family friends stayed at this beautiful home. House was clean, perfectly stocked with all kitchen needs. The beds were clean and cozy! Bathrooms were clean and well stocked for guests. Great towels! The views of nighttime sky are majestic! The porch was perfect and they have accomplished the impossible and have lush grass in August in West Texas! My 11 year old son and 13 year old daughter loved it! My older teen is a hobbyist photographer and she enjoyed the views and relaxed atmosphere. Great WiFi. We hope to return to this property again. The owner communicated very well with us! Their book on the property was spot on! Thank you for the best experience in Weat Texas! Perfect location for hitting up Ft Davis/McDonald Observatory/Alpine/Marfa. The track to Big Bend was good too!
