We loved our two nights at School House. It was nicely furnished, good mattresses for a comfortable sleep, plushy towels in the bath with all the necessities in the bathroom. It is a lovely setting and within a few blocks walk to town for dinner, but not on the Main Street, so quiet and restful. It is a good location... More

Carla and Steve were gracious hosts who shared their knowledge of the area. We stayed in the Reading Room, which is roomy and has a private bath. The bed is very comfortable and the location convenient. There is no TV (a positive) but the wifi signal is strong. We had an excellent stay.

If you're in the Big Bend area, a visit to McDonalds Observatory is a must, but more so, staying a night or two at the Old Schoolhouse Bed and Breakfast is a necessity. The Innkeepers are simply delightful and make you feel at home. The house itself is so charming, the front yard is dotted with a grove of pecan... More

We stayed over the Cinco de Mayo holiday, occupying the 'Rithmetic room. We were very pleased with the experience. It's important to understand what you're getting and not getting when you stay here. The room was small. There is no television or cable. You share a bathroom. There is no closet. Heat is produced by a space heater, air by... More

We are so glad you discovered all of the bicycling possibilities here, and hope that, as you train for the iron man events, you'll be a frequent guest. Training at altitude might just make all the difference. More

We booked the Reading Room, which has a private patio, a comfortable King and a private, tiny showerroom. It was very nice to sit on our private furnished terrace, in a very quiet location, just enjoying the silence and neigbourhood. This is the only good room in the house, both others have a shared bathroom. Fort Davis is nice, special,... More

Odiel, we are so sorry to hear that you didn’t enjoy your stay with us in Fort Davis! We had no idea there was any dissatisfaction, since none of the issues you listed here were brought to our attention during your visit with us. We enjoyed our extended breakfast chats, and Steve had fun visiting with you on the porch.... More

The Old Schoolhouse B&B is set back on a quiet street beneath a rocky ridge. We were in the Reading room, which has a private bath and its own entrance. The room was spotless, the bed was extremely comfortable; our hosts thought of everything, including a flashlight to use when coming in after dark. Breakfast the next morning was delicious,... More

Don't let the dirt roads of Ft. Davis put you off. If you are in the area or just passing through this is a great stay. The reading room is large and beautiful. The king size bed has a tempurpedeic mattress that made the bed the most comfortable in all of my travels. The room had a private entrance (great... More

It had been two years since my last stay at this cozy B&B and nothing has changed! The accommodations are so comfortable, Carla is still as friendly and helpful as always, but I missed seeing Zeus (their sweet dog). My friend and I shared the spacious Reading Room and enjoyed the private porch as well as the back deck, which... More

I stayed in the Riting Room, and was very happy with my experience (my first at a B&B). This room shares a bathroom (which was very modern and clean) with another room -- but that didn't turn out to be an issue at all. The room was very nicely furnished, with a comfortable bed and a ceiling fan. The property... More

We appreciate so much your kind words about our place. And I hope that now that you have sampled a B&B that you'll enjoy making them part of your regular travel. I want to clarify about the evaporative cooler, which is a very common form of cooling in the desert. It is extremely efficient in a dry climate, and it... More

Traveled through Fort Davis on our way to outdoor activities in Big Bend then came back through as we returned home. We chose to stay at the Old Schoolhouse based on tripadvisor reviews and were so glad we did! The place is perfectly clean and well-stocked with toiletries and details that make a trip easier.
