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!

Texas mountains
Was a wonderfully comfortable house to return to after a day spent hiking in the Davis mountains and Chisos mountain in Big Bend National Park. Beds and bedding were like sleeping in a marshmallow cloud of comfort, shower pressure and temperature was great, Kitchen well stocked and spacious. Fenced yard was great for safety of puppy play, concrete floor was easy to sweep and keep clean.

Alpine Adventure
Casa Acero was amazing. It felt like home. The kitchen was stocked with seasonings and condiments. We cooked most nights and had everything that we needed. We enjoyed sitting in the backyard with wood burning it the outdoor stove. The furniture was very unique. The place was clean and the neighborhood was quiet. We will definitely return to Casa Acero.

Beautiful time to be in west Texas. The house was everything we needed and the neighborhood was very quiet. The owner was quick to respond when I realized I left something behind, and he offered a solution that worked for both of us. I would definitely come back.

Casa Acero is just about perfect.
First - the only negative is the location. The house is in a residential neighborhood which is not walking distance from downtown. That said, it is a nice location with little light pollution and only about a mile from everything. This is a very cozy and well appointed house. There is everything that you would want for sleeping, cooking, and just relaxing in Alpine. The owners were very responsive when we had questions and the cost was very reasonable for the quality of the place. We will definitely choose this stay again.

Visiting Family
We saw and enjoyed exactly what we'd read in the property description and ammenities listed. So appreciative of being able to bring our dog, pet friendly. She is considered family to us. The suggestions for us on how to best cool the rooms, great added detail. Very clean and simple. Bare minimum a few improvements for my 'old' eyes is to add brighter bulbs or additional light fixtures in the kitchen area. Nice location, right in town, not far from anything. Would absolutely rent again, next time we visit.
