Inn Details
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 Fort Davis's children 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!
