Nestled at the foot of Sleeping Lion Mountain, this historic adobe home is a true lesson in West Texas Hospitality. The perfect mix of old-time tranquility and modern comfort, the Old Schoolhouse Bed & Breakfast is the ideal escape for any guest. Whether its business or pleasure that brings you to Fort Davis, let the Old Schoolhouse show you why you should stick around! Built in 1904, the spacious adobe building served as the schoolhouse for the children of Fort Davis until the 1930s. Over the century, the building has gone through several renovations, including the addition and removal of different wings. The most recent renovations have brought the historic structure up to date with completely modern electrical and plumbing systems. But the 22-inch-thick adobe walls, bead board paneling, and ceiling-high windows still convey the traditional beauty and soundness of the original construction. Fort Davis boasts a wide array of attractions and activities for visitors. Whether you're an amateur astronomer, a nature lover, a history buff, a shopper, a cyclist, or a bird lover - there's something here for you!

5 out of 5The Old Shoolhouse is Fantastic
April 30, 2013
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 if you are visiting McDonald Observatory and coming in late) and a porch overlooking a green and meticulously kept property. A herd of deer entered at dusk to chomp in the grass. The breakfast was gourmet and ample with baked eggs and fresh fruit in a goregous presentation. The hosts were friendly and helpful and sat with us during breakfast discussing the area and our travels.
4.4 out of 5Excellent B & B
April 28, 2013
This is a wonderful B and B and Carla is an excellent hostess. The one drawback is the need to share a bathroom when both of the smaller rooms are occupied. This is the one and only negative.
4.4 out of 5Great place!

April 04, 2013
I just spent six wonderful days in the Ft. Davis, Marfa area. Each day was started with a different breakfast surprise - all very delicious. I especially enjoyed the Eggs Benedict, the waffles, and the Scotch Eggs all with lots of fresh fruit. Morning chatter amongst guests was always delightful and some mornings quite witty. The hosts, Steve and Carla, shared lots of good area tips on what to do and see. Between Ft. Davis, Marfa and Alpine there are lots of great places to have an evening meal. Then a relaxing night in a cosy room with a restful bed. Each day I was in perfect shape for a lot of fun soaring in Burt Compton's glider at Marfa Airport. Highly recommend the Old Schoolhouse as the best B&B in the area.

April 01, 2013
Our spring break visit to Big Bend and Ft. Davis turned out a little differently than we had planned, but thanks to Steve and Carla, we were able to make the best of it! Their kindness and generosity will not be forgotten. The family style breakfasts in the morning were such a pleasure. Steve and Carla really know a lot about the area and had some great suggestions on things to do/see. On top of their caring service, the house and rooms are beautiful and incredibly comfortable. I hope to make it back again sometime soon!
5 out of 5Superb Bed & Breakfast experience.

This quiet and secluded, beautifully maintained B&B is top notch. Best nights sleep in ages and a great breakfast at this historic property. Strongly recommend.

This was the first time we have ever stayed at a bed & breakfast. The Kennedy's were extremely polite. Hats off to the cook(s)! We are looking forward to going back again soon.
5 out of 5Hospitality at Old Schoolhouse
November 01, 2012
All four in our party slept well on the firm, comfortable beds--the most important aspect of any bedroom. Carla even put some of our dirty clothes through a cycle on her washing machine and we found them folded on the bed that evening. (We had packed clothes for a colder temperature and the unseasonably hot weather caught us by surprise.) We found the value and the cleanliness to be outstanding. Carla's breakfasts were delicious. Breakfast provided the opportunity for us to converse with the other couple staying at Old Schoolhouse and with Steve and Carla. We all enjoyed the substantive talks with them. Should we visit west Texas again, we will certainly stay at Steve and Carla's.
