    We loved the theme. Most of the things were old but some new. The new was the utmost of uniqueness; an armadillo that had been to nothing but its shell. It was turned into a basket; I really wanted it! The bed was comfortable and the kitchen was so quaint. The backyard was small but had everything we needed. You would like the stay; we did.

    Pet and family friendly! We were traveling with our dog and two kids (ages 8 & 6). The house was very comfortable. We didn’t end up needing it, but I like that the house comes with a washer and dryer. We would stay here again!

    The house is nicely located, and neatly decorated. All utilities worked and it was clean. It was nice to have the off-road parking; however, the gate going into the property in the back needs serious work, and a projecting screw resulted in a deep cut on one of my fingers as I tried to push the gate open. Also, someone had thrown up on the bed sometime in the past, so the quilt and the mattress smelled from the experience. Everything generally was quite clean; so it is surprising that this persisted.

    I hadn’t been to Alpine in 30 years, so when I booked this spot, I wasn’t sure what to expect. The location is fantastic with the grocery store around the corner. There is parking for two vehicles behind the home, and the house is fully fenced. The backyard is quiet and was great for a morning coffee and bird watch! Inside, the property was clean and adorable with a coffee maker, all the appliances, and dishes. There was attention to detail with treats for my dog and bags to pick up waste. The bathroom was a great size with nice hot water and towels. My teen boys were comfy on the futon and us in the bedroom. We played cards in the evenings and there were board games too! We will definitely return as it was a great home base for our trips to Big Bend, marfa, and Balmorhea (wow what a beautiful drive!) thank you to the hosts for the hospitality!

    We enjoyed the house, well equipped kitchen and western decor. We walked to most restaurants and activites. Off street parking is furnished. There is significant street noise in the living/dining room, bedroom is fairly quiet. We would stay here again.

    Great little home for our Big Bend visit. This home was our home base for our trip. It’s perfectly situated for our excursions to Big Bend, Marfa, Balmorhea etc. The only suggestion I have is an upgrade on the bed. The home is furnished with everything we needed. Definitely book again.

    Overall clean, comfortable, and convenient to places of interest to us. Not as quiet as expected (nearby train tracks), but we were not greatly disturbed by any noise. Front door latch was binding such that it could not be operated from the outside, but the back door was convenient for almost all our purposes. Appliances all worked fine (did not use the washer/dryer). I would recommend this property to anyone visiting Alpine.
