The Alpine home theater house was perfect for exploring Big Bend, Marfa, Big Bend Ranch state park (don’t skip it!). Alpine is a great town with gas, food, groceries and anything else you need for your trip. It’s about an hour to an hour and a half to the national park, state park, and ft. Davis. If you can get a Star party in at the observatory, Do it! House was great for 5 of us and 2 small dogs. Backyard was very secure. Neighbors were nice. (Even a few fireworks from neighbors on New Year’s Eve, but short and sweet and right at midnight). The house was super comfortable. Watch out, the couches and beds are so comfy that you won’t want to leave, but there is so much to explore. Communication with Justin was super easy too. Book it and enjoy.
