Top McDonald Observatory Hotel Reviews

Mountain View Lodge

Mountain View Lodge

10/10 Excellent
"My only small caveat was that the AC was exceedingly vigorous: This is good to get the cabin to comfortable temperatures on hot days but it is a bit too vigorous to maintain comfortable temperatures once initial cooling has finished. Would help to be able to turn the fan speed down to about 1/4 of its maximum, under those circumstances. People who like a cold wind all the time would find present conditions already perfect. The cabin was large, exceedingly well furnished, and completely suitable for our (somewhat lavish) wishes. We will happily stay there again when future travel takes us to Fort Davis, TX. JK & MK"
