Wonderful, very clean, beautiful views

My brother, cousin and I picked this cabin as a base for our 4-day adventure motorcycle rides through the beautiful Fort Davis - Presidio - Big Bend area. This place was the PERFECT place. Night sky star gazing is wonderful. Additionally, this cabin is situated such that you get amazing sunrise AND sunset views. The cabin is pristinely clean, has everything we needed, and the hosts were wonderful. Both of the husband/wife team stopped by to check on us at check-in and again mid-way through our stay. They are the quintessential all-American, nice couple. I give this place my highest recommendation. We will be back.

Beautiful Mountainside Getaway

Cozy little house on the side of a mountain! Comfy bed and pillows, nice sized shower so you don't bump your elbows, and far away from any road noise. The neighborhood is Dark Sky friendly, so it's a perfect place to sit outside and see the stars. Building is situated so you get a wonderful view of sunrises and sunsets and, if you're lucky, get to see a storm at the top of the mountain across the valley. We also got to see aoudad, deer, a tarantula crossing the road, and a coyote. The host is welcoming and easy to contact if you need anything. I wish we could have stayed longer! We're both looking forward to coming back soon.

Great place to stay!

This was a great place to stay for peace & quiet in the Fort Davis area and easily accessible. The casita was very clean, spacious, well equipped and had two very comfortable beds. It's very close to the state park as well as the observatory, which is a great place to visit.

Wake up to a mountain sunrise

We could have chosen to stay in town in a motel room but luckily I found Casita Arabella on a mountainside at 2900’ with living room/bedroom, a spacious dining and well-equipped kitchen, washer/dryer, plus birds and deer on the mountain. No near neighbors, no noise, nice swivel-mounted tv.

Enjoying the Davis Mountains

A nice property for a couple with a good location on the scenic loop. Great views of surrounding mountains. A good mountain to climb right behind the casita. Casita is well equipped and comfortable. Covered patio on the side was nice. Hosts very friendly and available as needed for questions.

A lovely hideaway in the Davis Mountains.

We wanted to be out of the crowds yet near enough to Big Bend, Marfa, and surrounding areas. We found a perfect apartment-style hideaway on Davis Mountain. Big Bend was an easy 2-hour drive away, through magnificent country. Easy to find, the cottage was clean and good order. There was coffee, tea, pots and pans for cooking if we desired. 2 huge muffins greeted our arrival and were the perfect start to the next day's journey to Big Bend. The bed was comfortable; the bathroom, spacious and clean, with a walk-in shower. We will look forward to going back to take in more of the sites we missed this time around. It is an ideal location -- easy to get to and comfortably quiet. The hosts checked on us when we arrived and left us alone with their phone #s "just in case." We highly recommend!!!

VERY NICE "HIDEAWAY"

Great location. Conveniently located to McDonald's Observatory, Davis Mt. State Park and a pleasant drive to Terlingua. We should have planned more time to see more of the area. We will probably return with an expanded "to do" list. The Casita was well stocked, clean, and a fun place to stay. Excellent privacy!

We enjoyed our stay very much! The house was clean and well maintained. The mountain views were lovely. We came to enjoy the Hummingbird migration through the Ft. Davis area. Not only did the hosts hang up hummingbird feeders so we could watch them from our windows, they contacted a neighbor who had feeders also.
