We came in for a 70 birthday party/family reunion and stayed here. The place is super cute and was super clean. It had so kinds of stuff including a huge selection of coffees and teas. We would definitely stay here again. Host was also super quick to respond with any answers to any questions we had.

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.

Good choice for our one night stay in Marathon. We like to stop here on our way to Big Bend to enjoy the White Buffalo Bar at the Gage. The house was clean and comfortable for our group of 5.

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.

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.

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.
