Rock House at High Frontier

Rock House is located on Texas Highway 118, about five miles southeast of historic downtown Fort Davis. Perched atop a scenic bluff on 20 private acres, guests can relax and enjoy views of the peaks and canyons of the Davis Mountains and take in brilliant skies from any of the shaded porches stretching along each side of the house. Just across the highway is the Chihuahuan Desert Research Institute, which offers a number of hiking trails with sweeping views and a native plant botanical Garden. Less than a half hour from Marfa and Alpine, Rock House is a perfect home base for exploring nearby attractions or attending a Star Party at McDonald Observatory - or for simply enjoying the property's quiet natural beauty.

What a great property, great views, and very comfortable. My family and another family of four stayed for the weekend to enjoy Fort Davis and the MacDonald observatory. Highly recommend staying here. Beautiful stars at night very quiet and wonderful fresh air.

The four of us loved staying at this house. It was perfect for a gathering place with other family members staying at the state park. The kitchen was well equipped, beautiful property to explore and the fireplace was ideal. We would definitely stay here again if in the area.

Great 2 night stay. Convenient to the Chihuahuan Desert Research Institute and McDonald Observatory, although the star show from the property was already unmatched! Very clean, spacious and comfortable. Hope to return with family/friends!

Rock House Cabin was Great! 5-Stars for sure.Only thing that could make it better, would be to put up a game feeder out in the pasture. We watched 14-Elk the next canyon over to the south-west, Mule deer and 2-Aoudad Rams, would be nice to watch wildlife closer on the 20-acres! Look forward to next stay!

Great house, great location and great views. We loved staying there and would not hesitate to stay there again. The only thing lacking is the kitchen. It would be perfect if it were stocked with more pots and pans.

The bar for a five-star VRBO review has moved with our recent stay at Rock House in Ft. Davis, because--WOW!--this one is five big and bright stars (deep in the heart of Texas!). The home is clean, spacious, thoughtfully decorated, comfortable, and magnificently cozied-in to the natural beauty visible from every window and deck. Even when 12-20 degrees outside (most mornings of our stay), we were warmed by the wood-burning fire (find a source for wood in Ft. Davis) and the brilliant long views of the rugged West Texas landscape. If you're looking for a spot to retreat, renew, rejoice in the beauty of the Earth--while also being less than 30 minutes from McDonald Observatory, Marfa, and Alpine--you won't find a better stay. Our group of 5 lifelong friends couldn't have been happier.

We loved our stay at the Rock House with all of its windows and views. The bedrooms all had their own bathroon, which was great. I would highly recommend this house and look forward to returning.

Our family did a weekend get away to the Davis Mountains. The Rock House for perfectly situated and appointed for our stay. The views are incredible and location offers easy access to area attractions! The historic house gives you an authentic feel of mountain living and offers spacious bedrooms and living areas. Maggie was great and we did not encounter any problems during our stay. We will return!

We have stayed at Rock House many times before and always enjoy it. The view from the back porch is amazing, and we love the convenient location near “downtown” Fort Davis and the Chihuahua Desert Research Institute! This time, we were impressed to see new furnishings, new linens, and other improvements throughout the cabin. Thank you for another wonderful stay! ❤️

The views and cabin exceeded our expectations. Truly one of the most gorgeous spots Texas had to offer. We had a small maintenance issue and the host’s team could not have been kinder or quicker to respond. We hope to return!

Very Nice rock cabin! Nice location. Maggie was a great host answering any questions we had! Would love to see a feeder placed on the property!!! Watched Mule deer on the south side of canyon with binoculars. I think that would only accentuate the beauty of the cabin in its great location sitting on the porch watching the wild life up close! Would be a good treat to a great cabin.

The getaway I had planned, complete with activities and entertainment, was completely altered when we saw the beautiful porch overlooking the Davis mountains. Nobody wanted to leave that view, so we didn’t! The house was everything we needed and more. Thank you!!
