    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!

    We stayed at the Old School House for two nights in January. It was lovely, from the big comfy bed to Carla's superb freshly cooked breakfasts. The best bit was Steve and Carla's wonderful hospitality and friendliness. They are terrific hosts. This is a luxury B&B at very reasonable prices - highly recommended.

    Great Stay

    This is a fantastic place. Cozy, warm room on a 20 degree night in Fort Davis. Very easy access to the McDonald Observatory. Steve and Carla were very kind and engaging to our 8 year old twins. The breakfast was hearty and had us raring to go for our trip to Big Bend. We will stay there again next time we visit the area.

    Steve and Carla were wonderful hosts. Our two kids loved them and Steve shared his amazing rock collection with them. Breakfast was tasty and the baked oatmeal was really good! Clean, warm room. (We stayed in the Reading room)

    Great B&B

    Just stayed there over the weekend and thoroughly enjoyed every bit of it. Love the old charm and Steve and Carla were very welcoming. Both are great cooks. I'd recommend staying here for any length of time. Thanks again and we'll call when we plan on making another trip out that way! Richard and Teri
