This is a fantastic place to stay. It has a huge kitchen and lots of space. The yard is wonderful and large. It's close to downtown. Everything is in excellent order. I could not be happier with my stay and look forward to visiting again soon.
The house was in walking distance to the Courthouse for Marfa Festival. Communication with property manager was excellent. We enjoyed are stay and the house was very clean and had everything we needed.
We enjoyed staying at this property, especially enjoyed the backyard. The check-in info said the property had a dishwasher and printer. It has neither. We made other arrangements for the item we needed to print. The lack of a dishwasher was no big deal for us but might have been if we had a bigger group.
This bungalo / craftsman style house is the cutest! Inside is an eclectic decor with a mix of mid century modern and West Texas flair. We enjoyed our time gathered in the living area while a few of us cooked and prepared home meals. The dining area is large enough for a group to have dinner or breakfast together and play a game of cards in evening. The kitchen provided a large cast iron skillet which we loved.
We loved the outdoor water feature and seating area for morning coffee and conversation.
The location is great a distance from the main part of town (2-3 block if walking). The neighborhood felt safe as we had runners in our group that left before dawn early in the morning.
The owner was responsive when we had an issue.
The house was very comfortable and as advertised. We visited local attractions for hiking/exploring including Big Bend National park (about 2 hour drive) and Davis Mountain State Park about a 1/2 hour outside of Marfa. Restaurants are limited if you’re planning to eat out with most closed in Marfa on Mondays and Tuesdays. We used the gas grill at the house to make do. Internet was limited in the area but just fine at the house. Marfa provided a quiet, friendly and slowed down environment to remind us all what’s really important. We did go to the Marfa lights viewing station about 9 miles outside town on the last night and though we didn’t witness anything unusual, viewing the night sky full of stars and constellations in this whole area (including the station) is absolutely gorgeous. The Marfa lights viewing station had a pretty good size crowd and does provide restroom facilities as part of the structure if you’re planning to go. The Marfa Presidio county museum is another great stop for history buffs. Marfa is hard to explain- on the surface it’s a simple place loaded with history and very friendly people. All I know is I felt re-charged after experiencing it for a few days and would recommend it.
Lots of space and loved the washer dryer! Only issue was the handle to the bathroom door kept falling off and a few of us got stuck for a while in there.
Perfect space for quick weekend trip, great floor plan for one couple and one single traveling together. Spotless, exactly as described, great location, and, SUPER quick responsive host! Very minor issue I just wanted host aware of was addressed and resolved about as quick as I sent message. Lovely people to boot!
Second time staying at this property. Came back because of first experience. Nice house in close proximity to activities we attended. Host was easily contactable both stays. Will definitely stay again in the future.
Great stay, plenty of room to rest visit and take in the quiet. Greatly location to visit Big Bend, Mc Donald Observatory, the lights etc, definitely stay again
