The Stardust Stunning Container Home

LindsayRating, 5 stars1 day ago

We were travelling through Alpine, enroute to explore Big Bend National Park, and stayed for one night! It was a beautiful spot and very tastefully appointed. Kenneth & Jessica were responsive when we had some struggles with the exterior lock on the upstairs bedroom. We would certainly stay here on future visits. Highly recommended!!

Romantic Yurt Glamping in Big Bend @ Casa de Marca

DanielleRating, 5 stars1 week ago

There’s so many gems in Alpine that it was fun exploring the area & coming back to a home base. The bed was very comfortable and the yurt is like an optical illusion: it looks smaller outside than inside. It felt just right👍🏻

The Ranchito: Beautiful Views Close to Town.

CelestineRating, 5 stars2 months ago

We had an amazing stay- we felt right at home as soon as we arrived. The home is very spacious, it had everything we needed for a long stay, and is in a terrific town, not far from Big Bend. We just wish we could've stayed longer!

Closest AirBnB to Gage Gardens & Downtown Marathon

RyanRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

We were in Marathon for a wedding at the Gage Gardens. This home was in the perfect location for our visit. A one minute walk from the gardens and a three minute walk to the Gage Hotel, we didn’t get in our car the whole time we were there. Our kids enjoyed playing bocce ball in the back yard also!

Farm stay in Alpine

Sierra Vista Guest House

TracyRating, 5 stars1 week ago

The stay at Lisa’s guest house was amazing. The property is beautifully updated and wow the shower! We all slept great and the bed was super comfy - my kids loved the farm animals and hearing the rooster crow in the morning. Very clean, very comfortable. The kitchen had everything we needed and she had a few extras that were super thoughtful!

5 out of 5 average rating, 83 reviews3 weeks ago

Suzy & Derek's El Pino house was just what our family of 6 needed for a weekend in Alpine! It was tastefully decorated, CLEAN, and comfortable! We loved having a fire each night to end the day with. It's also very convenient to everything. The hosts were friendly & always responded with kindness. We'll definately stay here again!

Luxury Farmhouse Retreat

4.97 out of 5 average rating, 95 reviews3 months ago

Perfect Airbnb vacation experience. Beautiful and spacious (guessing approx 2200 sq feet) home in the heart of downtown Alpine, TX. Great for walking around town, or as a base for daytrips to surrounding Ft Davis, Marfa, and Balmorhea. Linda was a wonderful host and responsive when we reached out to her. Fantastic guest manual with everything you'd ever need to know about the house. Our family has been coming to West Texas for many years and stayed in many Airbnbs--this is now our favorite and we plan to come back again soon. Highly, highly recommended! Thank you, Linda!

Desert Oasis Retreat

4.8 out of 5 average rating, 15 reviews2 months ago

We had an amazing time staying at this property. The house was clean and had all the basic things required. The host was very responsive and addressed all our questions. We were mostly out exploring the big bend during the day so only stayed the nights and really enjoyed star gazing in the front yard.

Pips Place

4.9 out of 5 average rating, 21 reviews1 month ago

Marci's house is a great place to stay if you're heading to Big Bend National Park -- it's about a 45-minute drive from the home to the main gate. And what a cool home this is! It felt like hanging out at a cool friend's house, and we greatly enjoyed the chairs set up outside facing the mountains (and really pretty sunsets). Amenities are a little sparse and this is a home that has been well lived in, but everything is clean and full of character. At the price, it's a great value. We'd love to come back and visit again!

The Studio

5 out of 5 average rating, 38 reviews1 month ago

The Studio was great! The location was quiet, very clean, and well-kept. We felt right at home and were able to unwind and relax after our travel day and Big Bend adventures. It was a little far from the park (about 1.5 hrs to the park edge and 2 hrs to our destinations inside the park) but was very central to other West Texas attractions worth exploring as well. We enjoyed our stay!

The Peach House

4.92 out of 5 average rating, 757 reviews1 week ago

When we travel, we have to have a full kitchen due to dietary restrictions---it's nearly impossible for us to eat at restaurants, so I was excited to have a full kitchen! Sometimes you can only get a full kitchen in a larger place, and it's just the 2 of us, so that was a plus. We enjoyed sitting outside in the private courtyard, and enjoyed a glass of wine by the firepit and watching the stars come out. The house is conveniently located, so easy to find, and easy to get back to after exploring! Alpine was the perfect hub for us, allowing us to explore Ft. Davis, Marfa, and Big Bend over our 3 days there. Also, the temperature ranged from about 32 to almost 85 while we were there, but we were able to keep the house comfortable. Fluffy towels, plush resort style robes, and good beds made for a great stay. And the chilled beer mugs in the freezer were a lovely surprise! We'd stay again!

The highlights of our trip were McDonald observatory star party, the burger at Alcove, sourdough chocolate chip cookie at the bread garden bakery, and of course Robert’s beautifully decorated and appointed Airbnb! Close to everything, very quiet, nice yard, and full of beautiful decorations. A real gem

Retreat to Calle Ocho

JamesRating, 5 stars1 month ago

We had a delightful stay at Calle Ocho. Annette is a gracious host. Very helpful and always quick to respond. The house is blocks from the heart of Alpine and is delightfully updated and comfortable. There are plenty of plugs for charging devices and the Wi-Fi is strong. The fully furnished kitchen and laundry area helped us feel right at home. We hope to stay here again next time we visit the Big Bend!

Spacious house in central Alpine, TX

Excellent base camp between Midland and Big Bend. We fell in love with Reata Restaurant and we went for dinner all 3 nights of our stay. Highly recommend visiting Big Bend National Park as well as the scenic drive up north 118 through the Davis mountains. We had an amazing trip and a great stay in Alpine

Summit Cottage: 3BR Big Bend Retreat in Alpine, TX

MelindaRating, 5 stars1 week ago

The home was centrally located perfectly for our needs to visit the McDonald’s Observatory, and Big Bend. Alpine was a quaint little town, and Christopher’s home was homey & perfect for our family’s needs. We visited Big Bend.. and wished we had more time to explore every hiking trail it had to offer. We had a small issue and Christopher was so helpful and patient with us, and made our stay memorable. We will look fwd to booking future stays with him. Thanks again!!!
