About this property

Casa Acero - hot tub spa, comfortable, views, private

Casa Acero is Spanish for steel house and is located in a residential neighborhood on a quiet street within a 5 minute drive to everything Alpine. Constructed and decorated with mostly repurposed steel and other materials, the property has an industrial look and feel, inside and out. In addition to utilizing recycled construction materials, the house is powered with 100% renewable energy. This electricity powers three (3) mini-split units that provide both heating and cooling.

Inside amenities feature a fully stocked kitchen with all the tools you need to craft delicious meals, including a stove, oven, refrigerator, microwave, and more. Gather around the kitchen island or dine al fresco on the porch, taking in the peaceful surroundings. Stay connected with free 300 mb/s broadband Wifi , or enjoy a movie night on the smart TV while seated on a supple leather couch. When the day is done, retreat to the comfortable bedrooms, where you'll find plush linens and bedding items including luxurious mattresses (king-sized Tempur-Pedic Cloud Supreme & queen-sized Sleep Number 360). For laundry needs, you'll appreciate the convenience of the in-unit washer and dryer.

Outdoor enthusiasts will delight in the 4-person hot tub, cast iron fireplace, covered seating area, table, 4 chairs, and Weber propane BBQ grill. These amenities allow you to enjoy the cool mountain, starry skies, or simply soaking up the tranquil ambiance.

Why choose Alpine & Casa Acero? The unofficial capital of Far West Texas, Alpine is nestled in a beautiful valley at an elevation of 4,475 feet. This relaxed high desert town will do your soul good if you need a break from the rat race of the city! You’ll also be close to Marfa’s art galleries and the famous Marfa Lights, Marathon’s legendary Gage hotel/restaurant, and the McDonald’s Observatory and National and State Parks in Ft. Davis. No trip would be complete without plans to explore “down south,” including hiking Big Bend National Park and Big Bend Ranch State Park, visiting the Terlingua Ghost Town, or playing golf in Lajitas. And at the end of each day's adventures, settle into the comfort of your home-away-from-home, where you can unwind in the soothing warmth of the outdoor fireplace and/or soak in the bubbling hot tub spa. You will want to return again and again!

Whether your coming to the Big Bend region for relaxation, rejuvenation, adventure or all of the above, Casa Acero is your place. The house is ideal for a couple’s getaway, a girls’ trip, or a family vacation in the mountains of the Chihuahuan Desert of Texas. Casa Acero will exceed your expectations!

Dog-friendly base for Big Bend National Park visit

Comfortable, well-stocked rental for a day trip to Big Bend National Park. Eclectic ranch/southwestern decor is interesting & relaxing. Fenced backyard for our fur kid to stretch his legs was nice to have after long car ride. Restaurants, galleries, etc. in Alpine are convenient, although not close enough to walk. Helpful, friendly communications with owners.

I ended up ill and unable to go, but my husband enjoyed his time at the location, it was close to the wedding festivities he was attending, and clean, nicely decorated. He did not get to use the hot tub out back but it was clean.If we head out that way again will rebook.

About the host

Hosted by Suzy & Derek Mathis

Host profile image
My wife and I have deep roots in Alpine. We grew up there, started dating in high school and later married. Being experienced vacation rental hosts and having always loved the vibe of Alpine and West Texas, we made it a goal to host a house, so we bought Casa Acero. We then went to work to make it a place people will love to stay. We enjoy this type of project and the people we meet along the way, so it has been a labor of love. We hope you will enjoy this home as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

We view your stay with us as your vacation so we have equipped Casa Acero for comfort, convenience and enjoyment, inside and out. We believe this differentiates us from other vacation rentals in the area.
