We were able to cook some meals thanks to the induction burners. And make good coffee! We enjoyed all the space. We found the bed and the tv room comfortable. We enjoyed the design, the art and the colors including the blooming cactus! Our dogs had a safe fenced yard to run around. I texted with the local contact and she was helpful and enthusiastic. It was a great place to stay.

Bucolic restored adobe
Marathon is small town one gas station that I could see. Many homes are derelict. This property is restored lots of art work,books on Texas. It has character. Well supplied. Bed was comfortable. Bathroom is small but adequate. Lovely patio. There is one nice restaurant in town at the Gage and their coffee bar breakfast bistro is very nice. The French Grocer has hamburger night get together I think on Fridays. We commuted 60 miles into Big Bend daily for 2 days. I would stay again. I found it quite peaceful.

Casa in Marathon
Well the drive from my home to there was the real marathon!! 8.5 hours and 575 miles. The home was neat and clean with nice hacienda touches. Everything was in working order that I could see. Some of the neighboring homes were dilapidated, but overall it was a quiet and peaceful neighborhood. Much better than being in a hotel room. Thank you for renting to me! Scott B.
