We enjoyed our stay here greatly. The cabin is a perfect size, and it seemed to have everything we needed. At one point, my wife realized she needed to use scissors, and viola, there was a pair in a drawer. Being able to make our own coffee each morning was fantastic. We needed both the AC and some heat during our stay and that worked flawlessly. I guess because it was spring break it was quiet all around us. We loved the retro-style refrigerator. We didn't really use the little backyard and observation deck, except to take a sunrise photo on our last day. It was a wonderful place to stay in a gorgeous part of Texas.

McDonald Observatory less than 20 miles from the Sleeping Lion casita.
Davis County Courthouse has interesting architecture.
