This was a wonderful place to stay! My room was very clean and comfortable. The communal kitchen and dining room were well-stocked and welcoming. I will definitely stay here again when I'm in the area.
Great scenic area to relax in. I’ve been staying in alpine for years but the hotel prices are way too high. This place was appropriately priced and nice restaurants near by. Will stay again
Easy to get from the hotel to Fort Davis and McDonald Observatory. Room was super comfortable with big bath area. I loved having the common areas to sit or fix some food.
Had a great stay at Mountainside Inn! Picturesque both inside and out. Would love to return again

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
Clean room and welcoming host. Bed was very comfortable. Fully equipped central kitchen with plenty of room in the refrigerator. Would definitely come back.
Beautiful mountain view in the backyard. Deer walked through at night. Easy access, great layout, and comfortable room. Only blip was Dish Network wouldn’t connect to any of the streaming apps, but just watched regular ol’ tv. Loved this place and will bring my family next time.
Clean, comfortable room! Very quaint. In a great location! If you visit be sure to go to the museum around the corner, it was very cool. Will definitely stay here again!
Really nice room. Check in was very easy. We are here to go to the Mcdonald observatory. We were pleasantly surprised by the details and space in the room.
This is such a quaint place to stay. The rooms were nice and the setup was perfect. The back side backs up to the Fort Davis Mountains and the seating area in back is perfect. Everything was clean and it felt more like a B&B. I highly recommend staying. It is also centrally located to visit McDonald Observatory, Big Bend, Alpine and Marfa!
