About this property

Lofted & Heated Yurt in Big Bend @ Casa Estrella

Heated & Insulated West Texas Boho Yurt @ Casa Estrella with a Twin Peaks view! Take part in big sky star gazing with a desert rest and relaxation experience. Casa Estrella brings serene views and rest for the busiest of travelers. Ask about our second yurt if you have more than one group.

Near town, 30 minutes from Fort Davis, Marfa, and Marathon. The Big Bend National Park, Terlingua, and Lajitas are roughly 100 miles away.

Enjoy the Gateway to the Big Bend while staying comfortably!

Big stars under a big yurt at the gateway to The Big Bend ! This heated and insulated beautifully decorated with west Texas and boho decor has beds to comfortably sleep four and has room to sleep additional guests upon request. Casa Estrella feels adventurous and unique just like the terrain of Far West Texas and when you break from the terrain you can enjoy wifi, smart tv, nice cool ac or a warm escape from the cool desert nights. Rest and relax in the true to western fashion clawfoot tub or shower under the stars in a “perfect for the dessert” outdoor shower. West Texas cuisine is just minutes away but if the yurt is where your hat hangs, Casa Estrella boasts a stocked kitchen for refueling and an outdoor grilling area for making nourishing meals for you and your fellow guest.

This big beautiful yurt is only minutes from all things Alpine, under 30 minutes from Fort Davis, Marfa, and Marathon. The Big Bend National Park, Terlingua, and Lajitas are roughly 100 miles away, and the drive is ruggedly beautiful.

The whole unit is yours and the dog park is available to you. On site private parking is available for up to 2 vehicles. Additional space is available if needed.

I won’t be available in person
I live in San Angelo, but am available through text and message to answer any & all questions.

This property located close to town and easily accessible. You will have to drive down a narrow paved road, and there are two speedbumps (slow down). The unit is located behind a privacy fence built from 100+ year old fence posts repurposed for esthetics and maximum privacy without loosing the view.

Cerca del Cielo has a gravel circular drive and private/dedicated parking outside the yurt.

No smoking in our tiny home please ! You will be charged an additional $100 if you decide to smoke in the home to cover cleaning expenses.

My family loves to stay in yurts, and we absolutely fell in love with this one! The kids loved the loft bed, the decor is super cute, and we wish we could've stayed longer.

This was such a comfortable and cool place to stay that I’ve already recommended it to several friends planning trips to the area. My husband liked it so much he said he would def have one on some land. (!)

We enjoyed our stay at Casa Estrella! This was the cutest yurt with great decor and furnishings. We had everything we needed and there was so much space. The design and layout was perfect. It was close enough to downtown yet you felt secluded which was exactly what we wanted.

Absolutely wonderful place to stay, my partner and I wanted somewhere other than a hotel to stay for our visit to big bend, and we were amazed by how clean and cute the property was and how communicative and helpful the owner was. Provided local recommendations, extra accommodations, and quick replies if we needed anything else! We’d love to stay again!

This is our second time staying at this property. My husband and i stayed here in 2023 and loved it so much, we returned with our kids. Our kids absolutely LOVED it and didn't want to leave! We will definitely return again when we are in the area.

We went to Alpine to visit our oldest daughter for Thanksgiving and stayed at this property. Had a great time and really enjoyed the stay. It was a very unique experience.

We had the most wonderful time during our stay! The yurt is better than the pictures, it is truly magical. The beds were very comfortable and the whole place was super clean and cozy! Alpine also has a very cute little downtown that is fun to wander around. The host was also great!! I would absolutely stay here again!!

We absolutely loved our stay at Cerca del Cielo! Everything we needed was provided, and the place is even more charming than it looks on the pictures. It was nice to be nearby Alpine, which had everything we needed, but the neighborhood was quiet and we felt like we were away from it all. The loft was perfect for our kids, and we slept very well in the queen size bed. Our only regret was that we didn't get to spend more time there!

Property was GREAT! SUPER cute, cozy and well supplied! Location surroundings and directions to the property via GPS was the only drawback. Still, we felt safe and it was perfect for what we needed. Owner was great to communicate with.

We stayed for one night only, but everything was exceptional. My son loved the place and wants to come back. Everything was provided for a comfortable stay. Everything was clean and beds were comfortable. The night got chilly, but heating was adequate. The host was very helpful and friendly on text before and during our stay. She even recommended places to eat and they were great! I would definitely recommend staying here.

This property exceeded all expectations and had us imagining the delight of yurt-life. Beautiful decor. Spacious. We saw the Starlink train anf had a magical outdoor evening.

Can’t say enough good things about staying here. Communication before, during, and after our stay was exemplary in every way. Very spacious and beautiful accommodations with too many thoughtful amenities to list. I was traveling with my 10-year old grandson and he was as enchanted with this yurt as I was (especially the loft and the bathtub). There were absolutely no problems or negatives with staying at this property, only pleasure. Alpine itself is a large-ish town but we found that some places weren’t open when we were here in February, be prepared to be flexible and heed your host’s advice on bringing some food supplies with you if that kind of thing matters to to you or if you have small children. My grandson and I visited Big Bend, Marfa and explored Alpine from here. If you want a fun, luxurious stay that has all the amenities of home, you won’t be disappointed here!

I was blown away by this yurt! I stayed in another property on the site and saw the yurts but truly had no idea how amazing it was inside! It was absolutely spectacular! I had everything I needed, the nights were beautiful and quiet. The stars were amazing and the weather was cool in the mornings and nights, exactly what I head out for! The host was very communicative, and I ended up leaving something at the first house, and she kindly returned it and placed it in the yurt for my second stay. Highly recommend this home, and this post!

The Yurt was a vibe! We enjoyed our stay for the most part. The only suggestion Is to add privacy blinds because at night you can see inside the yurt if your lights on with the current blinds. And warning if you bring dogs that there are stickers all throughout the grass area. Thank you for our stay and good customer service.

The property is very nice, cozy, and inviting. There was plenty of room for the three of us to rattle around in. The decor is lovely, and the view was very nice. It is clean and comfortable. We did think it was a little more removed from town than it is. It's actually less than a mile out of downtown and in the middle of a residential area complete with all the ambient noise associated with close proximity (dogs, cars, trains, etc.) We still had a nice time and we're able to get in a night of stargazing. We made s'mores and roasted hotdogs, and the kid said it was a good birthday stargazing adventure. I would absolutely recommend it if you're looking for something close to town for nice little getaway and aren't too bothered by noise. Also, believe her when she tells you to bring slippers. My kid only forgot to put his on once. 😹

We loved our stay in the yurt. My kids 6 and 10 enjoyed making s'mores and stargazing at night. It was so comfortable after a long day of hiking at Big Bend. We came during a cold spell in April and were impressed by the heat in the yurt. It was a unique experience and we would stay here again. Communication with the host was easy and her replies were prompt. The yurt was clean and decorated so well.

Our family of five checked in New Year’s Eve and enjoyed our visit! The location between the National parks was why we chose Alpine. Gas stations, restaurants, and grocery stores made it easy for us to have what we needed even during the holidays. The kids loved the sleeping arrangements, especially the loft. Our teenager liked the bath, and the host’s little touches made it extra special and cozy. Check in and checkout were easy, and having heat on a chilly night to warm up after stargazing added comfort to an experience we will never forget!
