Summary: Jim was a great host. Very responsive! The place is small but set up perfect with great use of the space. We had all the comforts of home. Our favorite part was sitting outside listening to the radio by the fire. While stargazing! There’s a small but nice park not far from the house and several local restaurants. The grocery store is small but has a little bit of everything, just expect to pay double. I was a bit sticker shocked. There is a bigger grivery store in Alpine with reasonable prices about 30 min away. Big Bend isn’t too far from this location.Overall a great place to stay. Will definitely be back!
