Cottonwood Creek Cabins is an idyllic private 30acre homestead with 5 custom built cabins and 1 glamping tipi, located just 10 mins south of Alpine, Texas. Situated at 5200ft in elevation, and removed from all nearby city noise and light pollution, the air is clean, the setting is quiet, and the dark night skies are perfect for star gazing. If you are looking to relax from the fast pace of the city and want a central hub for all Big Bend area has to offer, this is the ideal place to stay! 29 miles away located at the base of the Davis Mountains, Fort Davis is considered one of the best remaining examples of a Southwest frontier military post. In use from 1854 to 1891, it was also home to the famed Buffalo Soldiers. Visitors can explore more than 100 ruins and 24 buildings, including five that have been restored and furnished to their 1880s condition, on self-guided tours. Multimedia exhibits and displays offer a wealth of information, while costumed interpretive programs bring history to life. You’ll also find four miles of frontcountry and backcountry hiking trails, and although there is no camping inside the park, options are available in nearby Davis Mountains State Park and the town of Fort Davis. Just one mile furhter more than 2,700 acres of mile-high peaks—the highest is 5,600 feet—and rugged plains look out over the surrounding Chihuahuan Desert in Davis Mountains State Park. Wild scenery is a guarantee, whether you choose to explore by horseback or mountain bike, hike all the way to the Fort Davis National Historic Site, or picnic along Limpia Creek. Pets are allowed. Please make sure you pick up after them.

      Dark Sky TIPI *GLAMPING* on 30ACRES
      Star gazing, tranquility in west TX
      I greatly enjoyed my stay at Cottonwood Creek. The tipi itself is fantastic; There’s electrical outlets, heated blankets, couches, fridge & coffee maker, and even a TV if you want; but the incredible view of the stars at night is what you want to watch! The bathhouse is across the gravel drive, and was super clean and spacious; the outdoor kitchen had the basics to cook up something simple and warm. It was a beautiful, 30-45min drive to multiple places- marfa, big bend national park, fort Davis, or the McDonald observatory. Chris made my stay so delightful, and I would stay here again whenever in the area. It was peaceful and private, while still being close to grocery/restaurants/gas stations. Thanks so much!

      Great Modern Camping
      TIPI was a great retreat away from the city. Would definitely recommend to anyone that is trying to be outdoorsy and doesn't want to go through the hassle of actual camping. Will definitely try to stay there again!

      Glamping perfection.
      Staying in the Tipi was awesome! The shared bathroom was very nice with a spacious shower. The outdoor shared kitchen had everything needed to cook up dinner. Will definitely stay here again. The night sky was clear with so many stars.

      Quiet RV Spot on Private 30 ACRES
      The RV spot was clean with easy electrical, and plumbing hook ups. The site was fairly level with a clean gravel base. The semi-seclusion with spectacular sunset views was wonderful. I cannot say enough about the friendly atmosphere and helpfulness of the hosts, but the highlight for us is the magnificent maze of well-groomed trails. They snake harmoniously throughout the cabin and RV area and into a secluded 15-acre section that is both people and pet friendly (as long as everyone stays on the trail and out of the West Texas cactus and thorny brush). We highly recommend this for a great stay!
