About this property

The Starlight at Casa Hermosa, Gaze At Sleeping Lion Mountain From Your Porch!

  • Directly facing majestic Sleeping Lion mountain, and an easy walk from downtown Fort Davis, the historic accommodations of Casa Hermosa Starlight provide the ideal home base for your west Texas adventures. We’re pet friendly, so bring the pooch.

    Stretch out and relax with all the comforts. The Starlight offers two bedrooms with one queen-size and one double bed, a full bath, a living area, and a full kitchen. Flat-screen TV with complimentary Netflix, and free wireless. Or simply watch the light change on the mountain from your front-porch rocker!

    It's the best of all worlds for your getaway. You're in town, so you're not subject to being stranded in a remote location if the elements turn against you. You can stroll and dine and shop and soak up the unique character of Fort Davis, and you're a quick drive from Texas' most dramatic mountain vistas. Fifteen breathtaking miles from the McDonald Observatory. Twenty miles from the art Mecca of Marfa. Thirty-two miles from a refreshing swim in the spring-fed mountain pool at Balmorhea. You're surrounded by history both inside--in a past life, Casa Hermosa served our country as a barracks for Army Air Force pilots during World War I---and outside--the rocks on our mountains are 500 million years old, and once served as hiding places for Apache and Comanche warriors.

    If you have any questions, please let us know. We look forward to making you feel welcome.

    The Casa Hermosa is an original adobe structure in the old town of Fort Davis. The home consists of 2 independent units, The Starlight, and The King Suite. Each space has its own covered patio, private entrance, dedicated parking, and grill. This listing is solely for the Starlight.
