Clean room and welcoming host. Bed was very comfortable. Fully equipped central kitchen with plenty of room in the refrigerator. Would definitely come back.
An amazing place! Our room was clean and spacious. They have a beautiful common lobby and kitchen where you can hangout and interact with other guests. The fridge had a basket for every room, so you can store your perishable food items, very convenient and thoughtful! And as the name suggests, there is a mountain right behind the property. We saw Aoudads, mule deer and a roadrunner. The road leading to the inn from the main street is a bit rough, but driving slow takes care of it. Overall, this is a highly recommended place to stay if you're visiting Fort Davis!
Really nice room. Check in was very easy. We are here to go to the Mcdonald observatory. We were pleasantly surprised by the details and space in the room.
Room was cute and spacious. I like how it’s in a bigger home. We put our stuff in a shared fridge. Backyard was beautiful with views of the mountain. I highly recommend this place! My new go to when I visit!
This is a really cute spot! It’s at the base of some of the mountains. The road in is a little rough, so just go slow. The check in is automated but the staff communicates well thru email, text. The room is clean, spacious, and the open shared spaces are nice
This property is literally at the edge of a gorgeous mountain, surrounded by lovely birds and calm nature. You can't put a price on amenities like that! You could pay more to stay at the nearby historic Limpia Hotel (and that's where you will probably eat, since there are very few dining options in Fr. Davis), but in my opinion, even that would not be better. I will stay here again. Gracious hosts, clear communication: there's a good spirit to this clean, well-appointed small hotel.
Clean, comfortable room! Very quaint. In a great location! If you visit be sure to go to the museum around the corner, it was very cool. Will definitely stay here again!
terrible roads. cocoroaches
areia around is a slum
no personal refrigerator.shared and filthy and no ice.checked out a day earily. it is a b and b.with no breckfast
the food in town is terrible
This is such a quaint place to stay. The rooms were nice and the setup was perfect. The back side backs up to the Fort Davis Mountains and the seating area in back is perfect. Everything was clean and it felt more like a B&B. I highly recommend staying. It is also centrally located to visit McDonald Observatory, Big Bend, Alpine and Marfa!

This is such a pleasant surprise on our way to Arizona. Beautiful property, beds comfortable and aesthetically pleasing. Common area was comfortable and inviting. Highly recommend!
This property was adorable. It backs up to the National Park against a mountain and we saw a lot of wildlife in the evening. The bed was comfortable and the property is clean and cute.
Beautifully decorated to maximize your experience. Bed slightly on the soft side. A sign near the road would help locate the Inn. Parking could use some grading but otherwise it was a beautiful quiet resort away from home. Thank you for the care.
