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.

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.
