Outstanding stay at the Rock House at High Frontier in Fort Davis. The setting is exceptional, with sweeping mountain and canyon views, incredible stargazing, and a peaceful, secluded feel.The home is comfortable and well-designed, with a rustic interior, cozy fireplace, and large windows that bring the desert landscape inside. It is perfectly located to explore McDonald Observatory, Marfa, and Big Bend National Park.Maggie, the property manager, was excellent. Very responsive and made everything seamless.Highly recommend for anyone looking to experience West Texas with both comfort and authenticity.

So wonderful that we hope to return!

Three couples, long time friends, wanted to meet near Ft. Davis to celebrate my husband’s birthday. We loved that each bedroom had private baths and king size beds. The view from the back deck was delightful, as we could see Mitre Peak in the distance. As the three women had attended Mitre Peak Girl Scout Camp in our youth, it was rather magic to see Mitre from afar. It was awesome to view the sunrise & hear my husband singing “Morning Has Broken” as we arose for breakfast. From the porch, we could see McDonald Observatory (we had tickets for the star Party). We enjoyed our visit to the Chihuahuan Desert Nature Center, across the highway from us. The kitchen has been updated and there is plenty of storage in the laundry room for all the extras you need to stash. We had two cars and an RV - plenty of parking. It was a perfect weekend!

Great cabin!

Loved this place, wish we could have stayed more than one night. 3 bedrooms were the perfect number for the 4 of us. The balcony was so wonderful, I could have spent hours there. The cabin is off the beaten path, but that made it more peaceful. Thank you, Maggie.

Weekend in West Texas for the Observatory

What a great property, great views, and very comfortable. My family and another family of four stayed for the weekend to enjoy Fort Davis and the MacDonald observatory. Highly recommend staying here. Beautiful stars at night very quiet and wonderful fresh air.

WOW! This one is five big and bright stars!

The bar for a five-star VRBO review has moved with our recent stay at Rock House in Ft. Davis, because--WOW!--this one is five big and bright stars (deep in the heart of Texas!). The home is clean, spacious, thoughtfully decorated, comfortable, and magnificently cozied-in to the natural beauty visible from every window and deck. Even when 12-20 degrees outside (most mornings of our stay), we were warmed by the wood-burning fire (find a source for wood in Ft. Davis) and the brilliant long views of the rugged West Texas landscape. If you're looking for a spot to retreat, renew, rejoice in the beauty of the Earth--while also being less than 30 minutes from McDonald Observatory, Marfa, and Alpine--you won't find a better stay. Our group of 5 lifelong friends couldn't have been happier.

Rock House Cabin

Rock House Cabin was Great! 5-Stars for sure.Only thing that could make it better, would be to put up a game feeder out in the pasture. We watched 14-Elk the next canyon over to the south-west, Mule deer and 2-Aoudad Rams, would be nice to watch wildlife closer on the 20-acres! Look forward to next stay!
