I had a great time. The cottage was perfect. Everything one needs is in the cottage. And, it was nice have a private driveway to park my new mustang.

Alpine is centered among the towns of Marathon, Fort Davis and Marfa. Ideal for sightseeing.

I took my dog to the park every day (3 blocks away). I walked from the cottage to downtown (10 blocks) and shopped; shopped at the small farmers market and walked to the Reata for dinner.

It ended up saving me money because I only ate out twice and I did not need a laundromat.

I'll rent it again if I come back to Alpine. And I would recommend hummingbird cottage to my friends.

Cottage with character

A nice little rental for a couple. Very clean and well kept, and has all the necessities for a comfortable stay. We like to cook, and it had a small electric grill, a nicely functional gas stove and oven, and all the basic utensils.
Pros:
Reasonable price; clean; nice kitchen; convenient to driving to Big Bend and all nearby towns; quiet location; nice covered porch.
Cons:
Not close to the restaurants and night life; driveway not made for a Corvette.

Definitely a nice place to stay if you are planning on touring the over-all area.

The cottage was a perfect place for us to stay during the Viva Big Bend music fest. All we required was a nice, welcoming, clean place to come back to each day and the cottage fit the bill! We hope to be back again next year. Thank you!

Just stayed in Hummingbird cottage July 17-25, Nice little cottage, couldn't have been more perfect. Close downtown, and the park and ballfield. Alpine is a very friendly community. Wireless internet could have been better, but using a cable was fine. Thanks again, for being so nice and accomadating. If any problems arose they were very quick to resolve. Definitly will stay here again , if our son continues to play for the Cowboys...... Thanks again for a wonderful stay.
