We stayed at the Old Schoolhouse with two other couples. It was a great experience all around. It's quiet, peaceful and beautiful. The breakfasts were great and Steve and Carla are exceptional hosts. I highly recommend the McDonald Observatory and the 75 mile scenic loop. We would definately go back.

If all B & Bs were this nice, with such wonderful hosts, I'd never stay in another hotel/motel. I'm traveling for 2-3 months, and felt such relief when I saw the green grass and the lovely, comfy rooms. Great breakfast and so appreciated the lift to the trailhead so I could hike back to Fort. Safest sleep I've experienced. MacDonald... More

We stayed 2 nights in the Reading Room. Everything was very nice. Comfortable bed, a nice sofa, and delicious breakfasts. This room has it's own porch to sit out on, you can also sit on the deck in back. The hosts were also nice enough to drop us off at a trailhead in the state park, so we could hike... More

I have nothing but great things to say about this place. We only stayed at the Old Schoolhouse Bed & Breakfast for one night, but the memories made their will last a lifetime. Carla and Steve were so friendly, calling us as we were arriving into town in case we needed directions. Its located off a dirt road and our... More

The Old Schoolhouse is an oasis of comfort in the high desert, a convenient jumping off point for the spectacular vistas of Big Bend National Park and the Rio Grande between Terlinqua and Presidio, the star watch parties at McDonald Observatory, and the art galleries of Marfa. The rooms are spacious with high ceilings and well-appointed with TempurPedic mattresses. Carla... More

Cala and Steve, the owners, are the nicest and most helpful people, and the schoolhouse is clean and comfy. It is set in a pecan orchard. The schoolhouse itself is made of adobe - architecturally interesting and beautiful, with old family pictures throughout. The breakfasts were yummy. Waffles one morning (with sausages), and baked oatmeal and fresh fruit the next... More

Just returned from a wonderful stay at the Old Schoolhouse B&B! Carla and Steve are great, relaxed hosts but at the same time highly attentive to every need or request. Delicious breakfasts...a different menu every day for our four day stay! Day trips to McDonald Observatory, Marfa, Big Bend and Alpine were easy from this location, and our hosts had... More

This was a wonderful experience and we would not change a thing. Steve and Carla provide a wonderful and comfortable stay. The surroundings are beautiful. You have more than enough to keep you occupied but even relaxing on the deck watching a sunset is a great way to spend some time there. Steve and Carla give excellent advice on activities... More

My husband and I had a wonderful time at the Old Schoolhouse B&B! We stayed two nights to celebrate our 1 year wedding anniversary. When we pulled up to check-in, the front yard was covered in deer. We got to see history throughout the B&B and had amazing conversation with Steve and Carla, as well as the other guests. It... More
