"When we arrived, Erica met us and was so friendly and helpful. The room was clean and had everything we needed. The location is perfect as it was only a few miles from the entrance to Big Bend National Park and fairly close to dining places.

"Jesse & Ella were excellent hosts. Our rooms were so clean and cute, and there wasn’t anything needed because it was all provided to us. We loved the layout of the house, ceiling fans were great! We spent a lot of time outdoors, there is a wonderful covered porch with dining table and chairs and we used the BBQ grill two of the nights there. They’ve got some very pretty flowers growing along the fence and we were able to see the Milky Way with our naked eyes! The distance to Big Bend National Park could not have been any closer. I highly recommend this at a perfect place to stay, and if we come back it’s where we would happily stay again!"
