This place was awesome! It was a bit hard to find, and there was no cell signal to help try to find out how to get there, but other than that it was a wonderful getaway! Quiet and serene, beautiful landscape, and the suite itself was superb! I would absolutely recommend this place to anyone.

Best: we were upgraded to a nice place with good value. It was peaceful and beautiful and quiet.
Worst: very hard to find unit. Staff did not ick up phone. No oven, hence the upgrade. No espresso. 10 big spiders under sink. Dirty floors.

We stayed in bunkhouse 1 which was very spacious and well appointed. The views are beautiful and star gazing was amazing with the dark skies. There’s a gym, pool and hot tub that we look forward to using on our next visit. Only 5 miles into Ft. Davis for restaurants so it was very convenient. I highly recommend High Frontier!

We stayed in the field house #4. Very clean and modern room. We did not have time to try the pool, as we spent so much time exploring the local trails. Looks like a great space for an event.

Our sanctuary
It was me, my 5 year old, and our 9 month old puppy. We were amazed at the quality of the accommodations. My daughter made a video tour for our friends & asked when we’d be back. We all slept great, the sunset and sunrise views were amazing. Outdoor areas clean and made for great stargazing. Sunrise in the large windows was a peaceful start to the morning. All the kitchen supplies we could need and a large tv for movie night. Luxury towels and robes. The dog lived her best life and none of us wanted to leave.

This property is great for pets (we have a large dog) because it’s rather isolated and there’s lots of outdoor space. The renovation of this place, which is a group of multi-sized buildings which formerly served as a rehab facility, is beautifully done. The rooms are stylish and the towels and amenities luxurious. Be prepared to bring every last thing you may need however, because there is no front desk to call for a forgotten toothbrush, no Coke machine for a bottle of water, no hospitality number for fresh towels (though they are gorgeous. I went to the sister hotel in Marfa to buy some for home). It is truly in the middle of nowhere about 8 miles from Fort Davis.
My partner loved it for the quiet (except the night when one of the spaces was rented for a party) and the stargazing in the big, dark skies.
In summary, I think I would have preferred having a front desk in one of the buildings, or someone who was present on site. The proprietors were very responsive if I sent a message through my booking app, but I guess I like to talk and meet people a little when I travel, so this place felt a little TOO far away from everything to my tastes.

High Frontier is located in the beautiful Davis Mountains in West Texas. It is fairly new. We had extreme privacy. We never saw anyone else during our stay. Various amenities on the property were still under construction but useable. My family had a blast. We only regret we were not able to stay longer.

Our two day stay (with dogs) in Bunk House 1, was PEREFECT! The property and accommodations are amazing! My husband and I travel frequently and it's rare for my husband to state he wants to return to a property before our visit is even over! Sit on a bluff with a view of the Davis mountains, the rugged view is every bit as good as Big Bend, and much more accessible. The resort is in Fort Davis, but its' own world! The spacious, 2 room Bunk House was decorated in a contemporary, minimalist style (good for dogs), a huge big screen TV, a super comfortable bed and large bathroom, night blinds, and a big fireplace set with wood and a starter log. We were blown away! We couldn't have asked for anything more! At night, the stars are AMAZING and the facility lights are set in a way not to interfere with the dark sky. This is a SPECIAL, SPECIAL place! A 10++ on a scale of 10!

I absolutely loved this resort!! Before we arrived, I recieved a text, with a map of the property, to show us how to get to the building we needed to go to. We stayed in a studio, and I only hated we were only spending one night at the resort. The room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and overall the room was massive. The room provided toiletries smelled so good!! The shower was one of the best showers at a resort I have ever used.
The only small inconvenience were the roads being dirt/gravel. Which was mostly only an issue, because it was raining during our trip. I don't remember seeing on the Expedia listing that the roads were this way, but it also wouldn't stop me from staying there again. It would have just have been nice to know, so when my husband started worrying that we were going the wrong way because of the roads, I could tell him it was ok.
