20 Reviews of Property 251634 in Alpine, Texas

We had an amazing time in this perfect Alpine home. It had everything we needed and was such a comfortable home to come back to after being at the Cowboy Poet Gathering all day. We will definitely be back!

My husband and I stayed at Casa Vida in April of 2012 and really enjoyed our stay there. The West Texas/Mexican style of the adobe home was so charming with its Talavera decor. We have stayed in bed and breakfasts all over the country and found this one to be exceptional with so many amenities, such as three tv's, Bose radios, Western CD's, and magazines and books about the area. It is a picturesque setting with climbing roses blooming in the yard and a patio for sitting outside.The house was very clean and well maintained, and even had a washer and dryer for longer stays.

We enjoyed having breakfast at the bakery/coffee shop on the main street and really enjoyed dinner on two evenings at the Reata Restaurant. The Reata has great West Texas decor and really good food as well. When we are in Alpine we always walk in the park which has good birding. The museum at Sull Ross University is excellent with information on the history of the area, in particular the many petroglyphs found in the Big Bend area. We would also recommend going to a "Star Party" at the McDonald Observatory which we did a couple of years ago, and the birding nearby at the Indian Lodge State Park is excellent.

This was our 13th trip to West Texas in the past 12 years so you can tell that we really enjoy it there, and we plan on another stay at Casa Vida. We would definitey recommend Casa Vida to friends.

We loved it... My husband and I, our son and his fiance' were visiting the Big Bend area for the very first time. Casa Vida was so welcoming after several days of traveling in the area. We loved the patio- even though it SNOWED! The house was conveniently located for all of our trips to the museum, observatory, and other surrounding attractions. There was plenty of room for everyone to stretch out and wind down after a long day. The kitchen was great and had everything we needed. We hope to come back in the spring and will stay here if available. I also got an awesome massage at the Purple Cactus.

What a beautiful place. The kids really wanted to see the Horny Toads but it was a bit too chilly for them. Your place was so accommodating. I love that the master bedroom was way on the other side of the house..great privacy.. Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. What a fantastic adventure...We'll stay again...

We stayed for 4 nights. The property was great! We enjoyed every minute of it. The photo's on line depict the property well. We froze our butts off with the water coolers running!! We visited Big Bend, Marfa, Fort Davis & Mcdonald observatory. If you get a chance, take a jeep tour at the Sproul Ranch. It is well worth the time. We look forward to staying again.

I knew staying here would be special for us as it is centrally located to all of the activities in the Big Bend area. BUT what I didn't expect was the bird watching that would get me out of bed every morning, camera in hand. The peach tree in the backyard exposed us to more birds than I have ever seen in one spot. We saw Orioles, painted buntings, hummingbirds and more. My bird book and camera got a good workout. Very relaxing location, made out trip even more worthwhile!!!!!

My husband and parents joined me for a week in West Texas Big Bend country. We made Casa Vida our home base and took day trips to Big Bend, Balmorreah, Ft. Davis and Marfa. We enjoyed that the house had 2 master suites and privacy for each couple. We gathered for meals in the kitchen and for socializing under the covered patio.

Alpine is a delightful town with a lot of character and history. While we ate most meals at the house, we enjoyed fine dining at the Reata for 1 dinner and lunch- delicious. There was some interesting shops downtown.

The area has been under severe drought conditions and was very hot and dry during our stay. We witnessed first hand the damage of the recent wildfires.

I would recommend Casa Vida to anyone interested in discovering this Texas treasure. It has a lot of charm and old west- including a daily train going through town.

I truly enjoyed my stay at your place. The decor was great. It exceeded my expectations, having never rented a home to stay in before. the location was great, I felt welcome, the layout worked well for our group. Thanks for the opportunity. The place was clean, stocked with all the amenities, great communication with owner. Definitely would recommend, and would love for it to be available any time I visit. Health food store was great, Alicia's restaurant was good and can't go wrong with Harry's for a cold beer after a motorcycle ride.
