Texas. However, if you are like me and have traveled to and through Alpine for over four decades. I have probably stayed in every hotel, campground or online rental in town. I am positively dumbfounded at the prices for nightly lodging in Alpine... especially in the last ten years or so. Sam is AWESOME and really goes out of his way to make your stay comfortable. They have tile floors... SOOOO much cleaner than carpet. The bathrooms are simple and functional. Each room has a microwave and a very workable minifridge. Bring you won coffee maker and skip the chi-chi coffee places down town. The wife and I actually pulled off Thanksgiving lunch for our family of four quite well out of the room there. This ain't the Taj Mahal... but is a good, clean, safe, comfortable place to stay. The rooms well appointed and most of all... AFFORDABLE. (This is forty years of experience in Alpine talking...) There are Barbeque pits and fire rings with firewood supplied. There are swing sets for the kiddos... safe parking and a warm family atmosphere. Sam's 'El Bombo Grande!' Save your cash... skip the high-end coffee trap, and give Sam a call at the Highland Inn in Alpine!

Located a few miles outside of town, it's free to enter. You can watch the orbs and lights through viewing scopes. Best time to view is on clear nights just after the sun goes down. There are bathrooms at the facility that are extremely clean. Picnic tables also on the property. Great adventure to check out! Be like me and do it every time you're in the area!

While my daughters and I did not experience any flickering lights on the horizon or elsewhere while we stood in a frigid wind on the night of 2.16.2025, we did note that the viewing area was beautiful... + clean grounds + amazing sunset + easily walkable due to concreted areas + the near pitch dark skies shown a marvelous starry night The visitor's center and restrooms were closed when we went, but it might be worth a stop during daylight.

I called today and Mandy Portillo was disgustingly rude and unprofessional in helping me to get the issue resolved. I say disgustingly because the company touts itself to be oh so holier than thou Christian complete with a "Have a blessed day" and a "Jesus loves you" on their answering machine. Yeah, Plumbco, if Jesus was real, he would find your customer service to be abhorrent. She ended the call by telling me that I should hire someone else. I am. So should you.

I emailed him with an inquiry regarding one of his listings, and received an answer within 12 hours despite the fact that it was a holiday weekend. He left me a very detailed and informative voicemail, and was able to forward the information I'd requested via email. He also placed calls to other brokers who might have listings in the same area. Many thanks - and if his follow-up is as good as his first impression - I'd sincerely hope to work with him in the future.
