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.

I rarely feel compelled to leave a review, but this home was truly wonderful. The house is very clean, well appointed, decor is tasteful, in a great location, and deserving of its high rating. We fell in love a little with this town, and a huge part of that was the comfort we had in our accommodations. We will be back for sure!

Love the Adobe

We had a wonderful stay at the Adobe while we were visiting family and friends around Ft Davis! The Adobe is so clean and inviting and we certainly appreciated David’s quick responses to our messages. This is our 3rd stay at the Adobe and it really meets our needs with 3 sleeping areas and large living room! It’s great to know you’ll get a reliable place to stay that is extremely clean and has working AC and hot water! Thank you David, we’ll be back!

Great family home base in Fort Davis

Easy, comfortable, well appointed home in a great location in Fort Davis. We could walk to everything in town and had gorgeous views of the cliffs. I’ll forever have memories hanging out in the front yard during sunset while my kids kicked a ball and ate popsicles. Just a great spot.

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.
