This was a cute vintage house. We had older individuals with us. The uneven floors and transitions were a little hard to maneuver. Kitchen was well equipped. Plenty of linens.

Perfect Marfa Getaway

My husband and I brought our teenage grandson to Marfa as a homebase. We spent our long weekend exploring Big Bend, Bahlmorea State Park, and the little artsy oasis known as Marfa. The house is comfortable and clean, wifi strong and the kitchen well equipped. We especially enjoyed afternoons on the front porch and the grill in the backyard. We all slept well and enjoyed the extra touches at this property. Will stay again.

Marfa May 2024

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.

Marfa bungalow style

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.

Great house to stay in while in Marfa

We have been to Marfa several times and love staying in houses. With grandparents, daughter/spouse and grandson (12) it's nice to have our own space. This house had 2 baths, 3 bedrooms and sleeping for 10. Kitchen was well equiped for us to have breakfasts. Lots of outdoor sitting. Covered car parking. Quiet neighborhood. Easy to get to observatory and Ft. Davis. Temp in house was very comfortable. No complaints.

About the host

Hosted by Bobbie Meader

Host profile image
We began ranching in Presidio County in 2003 and found ourselves spending more time in the region after changing professions and wanted house in Marfa to help break up our long drive from Central Texas. We walked in this house and were immediately drawn to the positive energy of the home and landscaping. The Austinite has become a wonderful place for us to bring friends and family who want to see both sides of our lives in West Texas- the rugged ranch terrain and the charm of Marfa. As we split our time, we wanted to be able to share this wonderful adobe home with others who love Far West Texas as much as we do.

Why they chose this property

Location! You can walk to almost every Marfa attraction. The historic turn-of-the-century adobe house has been nicely updated blending original period details with modern amenities. The large landscaped and fully fenced corner lot offers space for pets and people to relax and lounge outdoors. The interior is light and calm and comfortably furnished. If you enjoy entertaining, this property also offers great outdoor options.

What makes this property unique

We are repeatedly told by guests that the house has great energy- calm and uplifting. 2 bathrooms! The pond with fountain and goldfish in back yard is soothing and the yard is a great place to drag chairs into and relax. The washer and dryer, central air and heat, and quality kitchen accouterments are nice creature comforts not commonly found in Marfa.
