BEWARE! The online photos are fake and the reviews are bogus! Do not stay here!…read more Office upon arrival---lights off, no AC, a "night of the living dead" person didn't even speak, so I said my name. He went outside, came back with a key and the only 2 words he ever uttered were "cabin 2". Cabin 2 met us with a plunger by the front door. Inside was quite a nightmare. No way to ask for another room as the place was closed at this point. Bathroom door broken--has a gate latch that doesn't close all the way, floors filthy and covered in sticker burrs, spiders in the bathroom, the soaps and shampoos were obviously refilled-not new-and dirty and stuck to the glass shelve. The TV was falling off the wall, there was a hole in the front door and the back of the door was covered in some sort of dirt (bug dirt?). Multiple spider webs in room. The positives were the fridge and microwave were clean and operational, the bed wasn't really comfy but seemed to be clean, and the AC worked. We were immediately looking for other hotel rooms even though we had prepaid for 2 nights. Unfortunately--April in this area is a big time for visiting Big Bend, so there was nothing to be had. We seriously considered sleeping in the truck... The reviews and photos I saw before booking sure look good, but they are very deceptive. Buyer beware!!

Best night of sleep ever! The rooms are quaint and perfect with that West Texas feel. I sat in the…read morecourtyard and looked at the stars. My cabin had a full coffee maker and Big Bend Coffee Roasters coffee. They provide a basket packed full of tea, coffee creamer, sugars, as well as coffee mugs. If there's anything else you need, you can go to the kitchen after hours and help yourself. There is a microwave and a mini fridge for your convenience. I could not have asked for anything more!

Marathon, Texas, with its 300 residents might seem an unlikely spot for a luxury hotel. But the…read moreGage Hotel, nestled among the desert beauty of West Texas, exudes exceptional coolness. Like its neighboring towns Alpine and Marfa, Marathon is a place where quietude reigns, and the Gage fits seamlessly. The hotel offers a combination of cozy warmth and sophistication. The Western art collection feels like a perfect tribute to the region's history and culture. The staff is friendly and welcoming, creating an atmosphere both relaxed and thoughtful. In Marathon, time slows, and the Gage provides tranquility. It's understated and where restrained western luxury meets the desert's vast, peaceful solitude.

This was my 3rd trip to Big Bend and wanted to make it a point to stay at the Gage Hotel. We got…read moreinto town around 2pm so I went to see if it was possible for an early check in. The front desk was very polite but informed us it wouldn't be ready until 3. No worries, we walked over to the Gage Gardens. Basically, a botanical garden and the only thing green in all of West Texas. It only takes about 15 minutes to walk through it but is very nice. We then went to the brewery/bbq spot to have a few beers while we wait. We went back to the reception desk at 3:45 and room still not ready. We actually didn't get in until about 4:30. Not that big of a deal but a little annoying. The room itself felt old. Old school metal keys, no TV, small room and old furniture (more antique like than outdated). There isn't much insulation as you will hear any noise going on in the hallway. There is no elevator so don't stay on the 2nd floor if you can't walk up a flight of stairs. Of course, my lady friend packed everything and the kitchen sink in her bag forcing me to carry it up the stairs. The grounds are great. Cool courtyard with various fire pits. The White Buffalo bar, V-6 coffee shop and the 12 Gage restaurant are also connected to the hotel. Plus, they own an art gallery, a distillery, and I think the pizza place, brewery and bbq place down the block. Don't get fired from Gage if you work here, there aren't a lot of other places to get employed. You'd have to move! We had drinks at the Buffalo Bar before walking down to Ghostfire pizza. We didn't get reservation in time to eat at the 12 Gage but that was fine because the pizza was really good. There are various style rooms, and we got basically the cheapest one at 289.00 (with taxes and fees) . I don't think it's worth the price for what we received but the hotel itself is decent.

We had zero issues booking and Chris communicated with us the entire time. When we arrive at 1030pm, imwe were able to get in through pre arranged instructions. Hey to our room, shower and crash out. It was nice. Room 208 comes with two full beds. The room is temp controlled. It has a flat screen TV - it ages me to know if a time when they weren't all flat screens. The room sits over the bar, but to be honest, I knew that and didn't care. The showers were hot, the pillows were soft, and the though being on the main drag, my family and I were safe and sound. Rustic, but cozy

The bar underneath didn't bother me at all although I was in room 202 which is not over the actual bar so I can't speak to those people who were over the actual bar, but I'll say the week I was there which was spring break. They seem to close down early every night so no real issue anyway. The one the detractor is the walls are paper thin so if that's going to bug you find someplace else.

Stay at this B&B was not just a small part of our trip, but actually the best part! Truly one of the rare true B&Bs unlike some other which do not offer full experience. Amenities were on the level of a 5 star hotel, can feel the care taken. Location wise, it is an ideal location to Marathon, Marfa, Mc Donald Observatory, and Big Bend National Park. Also, if you're looking for the best food on your Big Bend trip, you do not have any other choice than to stay here. Sharon's breakfast was delicious!

Cerca Del Cielo was my top choice on Airbnb in Alpine, TX…read more I'm incredibly happy I chose this place even when the yurt I was viewing became unavailable the next day. I've never stayed in a yurt and thought it would be so cool. Silly me for procrastinating! However, a major development occurred a week after our stay... I requested a refund for a charge to my card. Got an immediate response, but no resolve. So beware of extra charges with no notification or explanation... Moving on. On the property, there are four rentals: two yurts and two tiny houses. Each rental has a unique name. Our tiny house was Casa Pequena. We stayed just one night on 2.15.2025. West Texas charm oozed from the ceiling to the floors. There were tasteful accents of gold and black with the occasional green and red. I won't soon forget the black and white "Prada Marfa" wallpaper. It was all surprisingly relaxing. So. Many. Amenities: Air conditioning Board games Chimenea Coffee/tea maker Extra linens, pillows and blankets Hair Dryer / Heating Iron Fireplace Microwave Outdoor furniture Outdoor grill Oven Refrigerator (stocked upon request) / Freezer Smart TVs Stove Washing machine / Dryer Wireless Internet & more. My favorite parts: + Pets allowed (crates available upon request) + Free parking + Safe, quiet environment + Contactless check-in/out + Dark star-filled night sky My least favorite: - I forgot they have a 10 AM check-out as opposed to 11 AM. like most places. - They have yet to issue me a refund for a pet fee charged TWICE on my credit card. I brought this to their attention and the issue has not been resolved as of 311.2025. It is perhaps "just $25," but it is more so about the principle of the matter. I never received any communication from them about this charge until after I contacted Jamie. Then follow-up was non-existent two different times. You can also at an extra charge add-on a bottle of champagne, firewood, and other items for when you arrive. Base rate = $93.00 Price for extra person = $5.25 Cleaning fee = $40.00 Hotel tax = $6.72 Guest channel fee (this fee supposedly "helps Airbnb maintain and improve the platform") = $2.94 Add-on (Bring your pet) = $25.00 Total price = $172.91 Overall, I enjoyed my visit, but don't like surprise charges to my credit card nor do I appreciate being told "I'm sorry this is a bit complicated... we don't get too many of our bookings through the website" and "I'll look into it" then communication stops. For this matter, I probably will not return. So close to being "The Best Little BnB West of the Pecos."

Cannot say the same for the restaurant, where clearly faith prevents illness. What a score! My travel buddy did all the research and nailed it with this spot. So many details. This hotel has all the good things you would expect from a quality spot but takes the extra special touches so much higher. The decor is unique in a spot on way. I loved the metallic painted ceilings that created such a cool effect as you walked down the halls, especially around dawn and dusk. The mirrors in the Lobby capture your eye while brightening the room in a glamorous fashion. While I did not get to indulge in a Spa treatment, the specialty made lotions, shampoo & conditioner in generous portions was a welcomed treat. While the pool was sooo tempting, I found myself falling asleep early in the evening in those super comfy beds. We did have one take out meal outdoors in the shaded sitting area by the pool. Nice spot to watch the evening sky change. It can be a bit windy. Morning breakfast was excellent. While it looks like any basic continental set up, the biscuits were perfect. Every morning was a slightly different offering. Great morning start. Again, if they look like Texans, there will not be any mask wearing or social distance plus a bit of side eye. - adjust your risk assessment accordingly.
