Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Martha R. 14 Dec 2018 #### Ok but not great Cute house on inside but very small bathroom with a very large shower. Rented the house because I wanted to cook for my relatives but had to partially clean the oven as it was filthy and burners on stove did not fit the drip pans so pots and pans were all slanted which made it difficult to cook. My contact person was very nice and would respond quickly to my text to him and apologized for the oven and offered to come clean it, however, i declined as I told him I would take the worst off but it would need to be thoroughly cleaned for the next guest. We did leave a day earlier than planned. ##### Martha R. Stayed 6 nights in Nov 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Dan B. 20 Nov 2018 #### Quaint and cozy. Well located for all we did in Alpine, Marfa and Ft. Davis. Heating was more than adequate for the small area. Had a little trouble with the TV remote.but nothing major. Beds were comfortable and warm. Could have used more lighting in the kitchen and another shelf in the bathroom. Due to weather, didn't have a chance to use the outdoor area. Very enjoyable stay. ##### Dan B.

It is very conveniently located. An easy walk to the downtown. It is also next to the historic district's walking tour. You can get a map at the Visitor's Center. The house was clean and well equipped. It is small so if you have more than 2 people in your group you will be in close quarters. ##### Louise M.

The house was simply appointed with some antiques and contemporary items. The back yard was private and comfortable with a fire pit and starter log to enjoy the 30 degree weather. The kitchen had everything to make meals and the coffee selection included local Big Bend and pod coffees. The two full size beds had nice linens and we're comfortable. The living room was equipped with comfortable seating for five adults. The large flatscreen TV and cable box were easy to operate. The location was on the south side of the railroad tracks and completely safe. Murphy street was close enough to walk to if you enjoy walking or a two minute drive. We would definitely stay at this location again. ##### wpsPYfGevVdX0qhVLCwClGAB1Of6Y6Sw+QEpJlyK8WjLzDShdTm+zXWMAAAAcDBuBgkqhkiG9w0BBwagYTBfAgEAMFoGCSqGSIb3 Y. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2016 ---
