About this campground/ rv resort rental

Tiny Cottage - Located in the heart of downtown Alpine, Texas, this separate, diminutive cottage (1 room and bath) was a teeny office (168sf) back in the day! The bed is only a 3/4 bed ( wider than a twin, but less wide than a double)!

The TINY cottage is situated downtown, behind the locally owned salon and barber shop, Americana. Enjoy the Backyard, adjacent to the Dragonfly Cottage!

Hidden right in the middle of downtown, these guest cottages were formerly the secret hideaways of various owners, luminaries, celebrities, and occasional scalawags.

This tiny guest cottage is a great budget friendly alternative! The cottage sleeps two very friendly folks, or a single. This unit was actually the old doc's private, stand alone office behind his home and next to his hospital (the home is now Americana Salon, and the hospital is an office building)...best trip to the doctor's office you will ever have, possibly! Note that the cottage IS TINY, and has a 3/4 size bed! The bath has a generous size shower!

DIRECTIONS - The Dragonfly Cottage is located behind the Americana Hotel. It is a tiny freestanding building with the numbers 104 in gold on the front.

You have access to everything in the unit as well as the large courtyard outside adjacent to the Lofts accommodations.

A key code makes self check-in simple!

Alpine is located at "the hub of the wheel" and the neighboring communities of Marfa (West/huge minimalist art scene:Donald Judd), Marathon (East/Gage Hotel), Fort Davis (North: McDonald's Observatory/Historic Fort) are approx. 20 minutes away in any given direction.
-Sul Ross State University is about 8 blocks east on Holland
-There are also some great hiking trails behind the university that give you an amazing 360 view of the country (15-20 minutes up)
-Star Gazing party at McDonald's Observatory in Fort Davis about 45 minutes away.
-Big Bend National Park/the Mexican border are about 45 minutes south.
-Amtrak Train is just a block away

All you'll need is your two front feet to explore the cute shops and restaurants in town.

The train rolls through town a few times a day. It can be a bit noisy, but ear plugs are provided with each stay for those who are light sleepers!

This place is great! It's cozy for sure - ideal for one person or a couple but the location is awesome and it's very comfortable and inviting. The price is great and it's definitely a step up from some of the motels nearby. Definitely planning on staying here again at some point. thanks!

I enjoyed my stay at the Dragonfly Cottage. It is, as described, a small cottage in downtown Alpine. It is the perfect size for one person or one person and a pet. It was very clean and the hosts were kind and responsive. They had made a couple of updates since the photos were taken and I was pleasantly surprised with the fridge, microwave, and entire cottage.
