    Place is a throw back to the 70’s? It’s cute if you can enjoy that style. We enjoyed our time sunsets were great..beautiful. Host was very informative and helpful. Don’t expect luxury just enjoy relaxing! Close to so much west Texas has to offer!

    The property is a nice place to stay, right across the street from Sul Ross, and conven/nient to just about everything in Alpine. There is a nice upstairs, outdoor deck that is a great place to drink coffee and watch the day start. We did have a plumbing issue, but out host spend Saturday afternoon fixing the problem himself, for which we were grateful. I recomment the Bird's Next.

    Our place was nice and clean. Mark was very informative and friendly. Big Bend ( about an hour or so away ) is Gorgeous and an amazing place. We also enjoyed hanging out in Marfa ( about 20 mins away ). I wish we could have checked out the Davis Mountains and the observatory (need to book Night Star tickets way in adv) but we were only there a few days and ran out of time. It was a great time still!

    The neighborhood is very quiet. We started each day of our vacation sitting on the front porch drinking coffee and taking in the beautiful view. Mark had lots of great suggestions for fun things to do in the area. While I expected that there would be a lock on the front door, I was pleasantly surprised to find that there was also a lock on the entry door to the porch. (Security is extra important when you're in an unfamiliar area.) We stayed in June - temps were really high that week - the front bedroom was too warm for the kids to sleep in. Fortunately, we brought a queen size air mattress, which came in very handy. (And since the master bedroom is so large, we had plenty of room for the air mattress.) Would definitely stay at this property again.

    Mark was a gray host, very attentive, we didn’t meet but was always available and had a vast knowledge of the area and its history. The front porch and the side porch were great for morning coffee and sunsets/sky gazing.. Location was central for visiting all the many sights in the area. Thank you Mark for a great stay!
