I like to tell people I “married into” Alpine. My husband was born and raised here and we have raised our children here. I absolutely love Alpine and all that Big Bend has to offer. It is a truly a unique and beautiful location. I have always loved the hospitality industry and showcasing Big Bend and hosting short term vacation rentals gives me the opportunity to do both. I created Bienvenido Big Bend to host these properties.

Adobe Vista is a two bedroom, two bath adobe home with commanding views of Sul Ross State University and surrounding Alpine, nestled on the slope of 'A Mountain', imagine an adobe hug! Handmade in 2002 by the Peters family of four, Ted, Peggy and two daughters, Elaine (age 17), and Terra (age 13). Everyday 180 adobe bricks were made on-site with local dirt from a ranch. It took 3,000 of these to make Adobe Vista. Every brick was levelled and laid. You will see the walls have alternating brick sides, one level is longwise and the next layer was laid short side. This was for added stability of the structure. The adobe is exposed both inside and outside because 10% cement was mixed into the mud, making it possible to see every brick and enjoy the earthly and immense texture of adobe. Adobe Vista was built for Elaine and Terra to attend Sul Ross State University. Doing so, they enjoyed living there throughout college. Now, nineteen years later Adobe Vista still gives adobe hugs! It's a feeling of comfort and peace that only18 inches of handmade- mother earth walls can give. We hope that during your stay, you enjoy some of these hugs; they're on us!
