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!

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.

Long weekend from Austin

Wasn’t sure how the Mountainside Inn would be, but was pleasantly surprised. Our room was the smallest but very comfortable. The bed is soft , which we liked. There was an actual coffee pot with ground coffee No one was on site but we got a text with instructions and worked very well. Nice roomy lounge area and full common kitchen if you have multiple people staying would be very convenient. You can park very close to entrance—side or front —which makes it easy to unload. We would atay there again when we return to Ft Davis.

We arrived at the property at 4:10. Knocked on door that said office, no answer. Called number on our email reservation confirmation. Got a person who explained that this was an old number and inn would not update their website or 3rd party websites despite repeated pleas. No excuse for that. We finally spoke to a person who gave us the entrance code and then found our room. The room was small but cute. The shared kitchen was horrible— dirty dishes everywhere left by earlier guests and overflowing garbage cans. We could not get the tv (dish) in room to work at all and didn’t want to watch it in common area. The owners need to contact their contact info with all internet sites and booking sites. No excuse for not having done this when management changed in October.

I'm not sure if something has happened here recently regarding management but there was absolutely no presence during our stay. The front door key code was low on battery so we couldn't self check in (luckily the cleaner was onsite), and while the room was clean and comfortable, it wasn't quite what we were expecting - it felt more like a shared Airbnb than an Inn! We found the communal kitchen somewhat confusing as there was food lying about that didn't seem to belong to any of the other guests but wasn't sure if we could help ourselves. Ft Davis is quaint but felt somewhat neglected off season.
