Our stay in Ft. Davis was great. The house was very clean and we had everything we needed. We loved the view looking out the back. It was nice to feel like we were in the country but town was close by. Our stay was excellent.

Judys line shack was beautifully situated in Fort Davis and Jennifer did a wonderful job decorating this cute home. It was an ideal setting and was perfect for star gazing at night and sunrise viewing from the screened porch. The kitchen was well stocked with the exception of a working ice maker which we remedied by purchasing bagged ice. It would have been nice if this had been communicated to us beforehand. Rooms, beds and bathrooms were well thought out and very comfortable. However, future guests may want to know that both the front and back doors could not be locked. At one point during a thunderstorm the back doors actually blew open. The community of Fort Davis felt safe but it would have been nice to include this information in some sort of written communication. We received no instructions on any part of the house including the fact that the “smart” TV was not capable of using apps. Also, the front driveway entrance became very difficult when it rained because it was all muddy and rutted, making it hard for a sedan to easily get in and out. Overall, we enjoyed our stay but would have appreciated more disclosure of the aforementioned issues.

Much Needed Peace
This is such a lovely property! So peaceful on the patio in the mornings and evenings. Getting to pet the owner's horses was a bonus, too! Super fast communication for any needs from the host. Split bedrooms make it perfect for couples. Close to the main street in town but still 'away'. Highly recommend for a trip to Ft. Davis!

MUST STAY: Charming and Cozy Get Away
Our host has done a outstanding job of making this property a perfect blend of comfort and charm.
This was our base during our time in Ft Davis area. It had all we needed and so much more.
It felt like every detail to the property was well thought out with the comfort of the guests in mind.
As soon as you walk in each room you further into this
comfortable atmosphere. So many little touches though out the house brought so much to the magic of this place.
The porches were so great for watching nature at its best, both front screened with rockers and calming wind chimes to the back porch with breathtaking views.
Each day it was a pleasure to come back , unwind from our day. With a full kitchen it was easy to prepare our meals and pack our cooler for the day of adventure.
Thank you to our Host we loved our stay and our time in the area.

Beautiful Home in Fort Davis
Well appointed home in Fort Davis, 2 minutes from town but feels very secluded. Wonderful antique furnishings and great kitchen. 25 minutes to McDonald Observatory and 30 minutes to Balmorhea State Park (don’t skip this swimming hole, it’s awesome!). Quaint, quiet and secluded, don’t miss out on this place!

We loved our stay at Judy’s line camp! It was perfect after a four day stay in Big Bend to have a nice place to recoup from the schedule of vacay! We chilled and enjoyed watching the horses and cows and oh my…the view from the back porch was spectacular. Very peaceful!

We simply loved our stay at Judy’s Line Shack. The views of the West TX landscape, which we so love, were amazing. The peacefully grazing horses made it even more wonderful. The home is delightfully decorated, and we had everything we need. We have been to Ft. Davis many times over the years, and we are so happy to have found Judy’s Line Shack for our future visits! Thank you Jennifer, for this delightful get-away!
