Pleasant little getaway
The place is exactly as described. Two nice bedrooms, two full baths, beautiful outdoor space, working fridge with ice maker, washer and dryer, dishwasher, televisions. Be advised that it is directly on the railroad track, so trains are involved. (The host provides ear plugs, which is a nice touch.) If you plan to cook, bring your own gear. We donated a mixing bowl and a working can opener to the house when we stayed. Think of it as camping... All in all it was a lovely little place and I would seriously consider staying there again the next time I visit Apline and the Big Bend.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay. Train runs right behind home and we loved it! Such a comforting sound. Otherwise, so very quiet. Comfortable and clean. Everything works. Owner went above and beyond for our special needs. Lowe's grocery store, Dollar General and gas nearby. Highly recommend. Do not miss Museum of the Big Bend.

Great Stay in Alpine,Texas
We spent our Christmas holiday in the wonderful Short’s Landing in Alpine,Texas. Our host Glen provided clear communication. This convenient location allowed us to easily visit Big Bend, McDonald Observatory, Marfa and other neighboring towns. The house itself was perfect for our needs. Well laid out and fully equipped with everything we needed. Nicely furnished with comfortable beds. Our only regret was that we did not have time to take advantage of the outdoor space - deck, firepit, etc. We would definitely stay here again and make time to fully utilize the outdoor areas. The trains that run close by did not bother us at all. We heard them a few times, but absolutely no big deal. Great place to stay in Alpine!

This place is great. Location to downtown is walking distance. Driving to Marfa, Fort Davis and Big Bend was convenient. This place is super cute inside and out. I will definitely come back and stay here

Warm and cozy home after a long day of hiking
Yes, the major con is the train running behind the home. Didn't know that was an aspect when booking, but we luckily woke up early to go hiking at Big Bend National Park each day so we managed okay. They do offer earplugs though! Just be prepared. Otherwise, home is so nice and cozy. It's definitely remodeled and there are some parts that felt a bit half done, but I felt very much at home after a long day of hiking. It was everything we needed! Warm beds and hot showers (note they're smaller corner showers) and comfortable shared living space with a great TV for entertainment and fully stocked kitchen. I hope to come back to take advantage of the awesome backyard entertainment space.

Great location to enjoy Artfest!
House is comfortable and clean. A wood porch chair collapsed, kitchen cabinets need repair (cabinet doors were falling off and drawers did not open without a fight). Brought a selection of music to play, but sound player was not available. These are easy fixes. Trains that run right behind the house are loud, but didn't affect us much. Location is easy walk to everything.

3rd Time Staying Here. Always a top choice!
This is our 3rd time staying at this property. We travel to Alpine frequently and this house is one of our favorite places to stay. The backyard and deck are a great place to relax and hang out after venturing out all day. The house has great amenities and Glenn is extremely communicative. Highly recommend.
