This was a great place to stay for peace & quiet in the Fort Davis area and easily accessible. The casita was very clean, spacious, well equipped and had two very comfortable beds. It's very close to the state park as well as the observatory, which is a great place to visit.

Wonderful place to stay. Well stocked with all necessary things. Clean and well maintained property. Quiet and peaceful. Great Sunrise views from patio. Only 15 mins to McDonald observatory and within 30 mins to Davis mountain state park and historic site. Muffins provided by host are very delicious. We will highly recommend this place to all our friends and if we visit again, we will definitely book this again.

My brother, cousin and I picked this cabin as a base for our 4-day adventure motorcycle rides through the beautiful Fort Davis - Presidio - Big Bend area. This place was the PERFECT place. Night sky star gazing is wonderful. Additionally, this cabin is situated such that you get amazing sunrise AND sunset views. The cabin is pristinely clean, has everything we needed, and the hosts were wonderful. Both of the husband/wife team stopped by to check on us at check-in and again mid-way through our stay. They are the quintessential all-American, nice couple. I give this place my highest recommendation. We will be back.

A nice property for a couple with a good location on the scenic loop. Great views of surrounding mountains. A good mountain to climb right behind the casita. Casita is well equipped and comfortable. Covered patio on the side was nice. Hosts very friendly and available as needed for questions.

We could have chosen to stay in town in a motel room but luckily I found Casita Arabella on a mountainside at 2900’ with living room/bedroom, a spacious dining and well-equipped kitchen, washer/dryer, plus birds and deer on the mountain. No near neighbors, no noise, nice swivel-mounted tv.
