About this property

Prairie's Cottage at Sage Guesthouse formerly the 19th Hole

Light-Filled Modern Guest Suite. Located on the south side of the Alpine Country Club golf course.
This house features three bedrooms with a full kitchen. Golf course outside the front door and easy access to local attractions. Guests have noted that this suite is nicely located, away from the train horns!
The space
The 1100 sq. ft. building looks like a garage on the outside but not on the inside! The building has never had a car in it, but housed an office after which it was converted to a quality contemporary living space. Enjoy floor to ceiling windows, a great location, and deluxe appointments.
Located in one of the few areas in Alpine with high speed fiber internet.

Memorable!!

My wife, son, and I took a mini vacation to West Texas to hike in the Davis Mountains and Big Bend National Park. We wanted to stay somewhat central to the two so we decided on Alpine and are so happy that we did. Mr. Stovell’s place was PERFECT for what we needed. We enjoyed our stay and made lasting memories. Would definitely stay again if we are in the area!

Great Stay at Prairie's Cottage

We enjoyed our stay at Prairie's Cottage and would definitely choose this guesthouse again. The location across the street from the park worked well for us. The cottage was clean, comfortable, and quiet. We especially enjoyed the large widows with the "forest" view.

Perfect size and location for our small family

We had a wonderful stay at Mr. Bob‘s Prarie’s Cottage. We were surprised by so much space and the number of beds. The kids spent some time in the back yard with their scooters. We walked to the city park several times. The location is perfect for a walk or quick drive to an Alpine Cowboys game, to the park or the city pool. We went all over the area, with Prarie’s Cottage as our home base. We had a special visit with Mr. Bob in the back yard, accompanied by little Dolly. We had actually met shortly before we moved away from the area. It was good to catch up and learn about his other VRBO offerings on the same property. We hope to make this our home away from home when we come back for annual visits to the area.

The perfect location and comfort we needed. We enjoyed our home away from home . We loved seeing the deer on the golf course in the morning and the relaxing backyard in the evening. We will definitely return again

Exactly as described and perfect for us!

We loved our stay at Prairies Cottage. The property was clean and comfortable, check in information was communicated early and was very easy! We didn’t have tons of time to use the backyard but the kids explored it and it looked like it would be awesome if you have kids and want to be sure they are safe and having fun outside while you make dinner (or while eating dinner!). We have three kids and they loved all sleeping in the one room together! Made an excellent place to stay while we explored Big Bend!

Amazing Property, Amazing Town

We really enjoyed our stay at this property, in Alpine. It is a wonderful place from where we can visit Big Bend State and National Parks. Excellent property and communication with our host made our stay memorable. We were with our full family (grand parents, parents, children) and we felt at home here.

Wonderful

Comfortable, functional, cozy, and clean! We had seven people from 77 years to 7 years old and it was a wonderful experience. Bob was quick to respond to questions and needs. The location is ideal for visiting many destinations in the area. And the place is laid out and equipped thoughtfully. The large yard was a bonus for getting the kids outside for safe and fun pkaytime. Highly recommended!

Perfect for us.

We are 3 gray-haired long-time friends who ride motorcycles and have a traditional ride to the Big Bend area each year in November or December. This space was perfect for us with enough beds for each of one as we get the creepy-crawlies when thinking of sharing beds. This will be our "go-to" location in the future for our traditional ride.
