The host was very welcoming and everything was exactly as she said it would be. The Casita is a wonderful place for a great mountain get-away with all the amenities it touts. We made immediate use of the washer and dryer as we had a week's worth of laundry to do. Everything we needed was there, although I did furnish my own laundry detergent, but detergent was already there (the same brand!)

Easy Getaway in Fort Davis

Deanna's Casita was a simple and perfect little getaway outside Fort Davis and close to the McDonald Observatory. The private covered porch with beautiful views of the mountains was my main go-to for coffee in the morning or dinner at dusk. Lovely views of the mountains and neighborhood are at your front door. High desert animals are the only sounds you hear here. It is a super quiet and comfortable place to stay!

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.

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.
