Luxury Adobe Home near Marfa and McDonald Observatory

Recently renovated 100 year old Adobe house with views of Sleeping Lion mountain. Located in the heart of historic Fort Davis on a quiet side street just three blocks from State Street, Agave House was completely renovated in 2021 to a very high standard. The interior is contemporary with a Sante Fe influence, featuring vaulted beamed ceilings in the living room as well as a wood burning fireplace. Original art in the form of paintings and wall hangings is displayed throughout the house. The well-equipped kitchen is all new with dramatic concrete counter tops and stainless steel appliances. The main bedroom has a king bed, sitting area, walk in closet and a private porch. The en-suite bathroom has a luxurious shower and a claw foot tub for your enjoyment. The second bedroom has a queen bed and shares the main en-suite bath. Bedroom 3 has two twins and its own bath with shower. There are multiple outdoor seating areas with views of the surrounding mountains and historic neighborhood. The house also includes a car port. Marfa and the McDonald Observatory are both about a 20 minute drive from Agave House.

Clean, beautiful interior

This home is more lovely inside than you might imagine. Beautiful artwork everywhere. Super clean throughout. Good water pressure for showers. Could use a few more items in kitchen as zero spices. (But the granola was lovely! Would be good to have a Salt shaker with salt In it and not packets in it, a cooking pan that is more higher quality (the one there warped a bit and didn’t lay flat on the nice range). Could use some touch ups in the “back” area of the yard as it was horribly dusty to sit out there. Overall though a super nice place! Do not miss going to the Chihuahuan Desert Center just up the road; totally worth it.Coul

Lovely adobe home

We were a little skeptical when we saw the outside, but the inside is amazing. It is beautifully decorated, spacious & very comfortable. Since there were only two is us we only used the front bedroom. It was large with a sitting area & very comfortable bed. We loved the bathroom with its colorful tile & the kitchen was well equipped for cooking meals. We highly recommend this rental if you are staying in the area.

Family Vacation in West Texas

This is a very nicely remodeled home in Fort Davis Texas. The home has nice communal spaces and bedrooms. The kitchen is set up to minimally serve the number of people staying at the house, but most things are there if you decide to cook.

Great house in a beautiful small town

We were happy in every respect with our stay in Fort Davis. The house is within walking distance of all FD businesses but the striking mountain scenery that surrounds the town is visible at all times. My favorite activity, despite the rather low temperatures in January, was to take long walks around the town and up toward the majestic cliffs. We all agreed on departure that it was one of our favorite stays.

Excellent Getaway

This property is well kept, better than described and perfect for a getaway to Ft. Davis. Quiet, great view, hummingbirds at the flowers, gorgeous pine tree to sit under and enjoy the midday breeze. Well apportioned, comfortable beds, couches, furniture. Close to wherever you want to be close to, far enough away from whatever you want to get away from. Looking forward to a return visit as soon as life allows.

Excellent Experience

We had a great time in Fort Davis and the house was perfect for a long weekend. It was clean and well stocked and the host was very responsive. He even dropped off a couple of fire logs outside the front door for us if we wanted to use the fire place because the night was going to be cold. We look forward to returning to Fort Davis and staying at the Agave house again.

This was a very nice clean home, more than I expected. The pictures don’t do justice. There are two full restrooms one just don’t have a bath tub. Location is Close to Marfa, Valentine and Alpine. You could go any direction easily.
