Mark responded within an hour with every email request. The house met our expectations for a stay in Fort Davis, TX. Would stay here again if ever came back to Fort Davis, TX. Bed was comfortable, bathroom clean, kitchen/dining area appropriate. Internet worked well. If anything negative/odd: tiny freezer/refrigerator, TV in bedroom, not the living area which is set up for TV viewing (but we weren't in Fort Davis for TV viewing), and 1st world issue, the toilet paper was super thin and poor quality, bought our own toilet paper to use.
