Nice house in West Texas!
This spacious desert abode was our perfect home base for our trip to Big Bend. Since we had a group of five we wanted to be comfortable and relax in Marathon! Great location with easy access to all of the amenities in town.

Great Place to stay
We had a great stay! Loved the layout of the rooms, and there's lots of space, plenty for the 5 of us. We had everything we needed and the house was clean. Kitchen and bath was stocked well with necessities, and everyone had a good night's sleep. Calm and quiet neighborhood.

Short stay, good location, quiet spot.
Came into Marathon for one night. Nice to have a spot to ourselves after a long drive. Good space for kids, master bedroom on opposite side of home. Did a load of laundry too. Woke up after moon set to see the Milky Way. Would rent again.

Clean and perfect for a quick visit to big bend
Plenty of towels. Nice patio. Everything you need. And very clean. Honestly if you are going to big bend this place is a straight shot into the park. 40 min or so. Not likely to find a place closer. Highly recommend. Recommend bringing in food with you as there really isn’t great food options around the park.
