About this property
Desert Sky – On 5 Acres with Marfa Lights Views
This unique Quonset Hut is located on 5 acres with incredible views of the Marfa lights, Chinati Peak and Davis Mountains - just minutes from Marfa`s town center. Experience a rare desert oasis with modern amenities, incredible sunrise and sunset views and magnificent stargazing, while being close enough to enjoy everything Marfa has to offer. Perfect for couples, friends, or those looking to work remote!
High speed WiFi, workspace, dog friendly, full kitchen, hammock,BBQ, lounge & dining area
Desert Sky blends the best that Marfa`s landscape and downtown attractions have to offer. An open-plan layout maximizes unobstructed views of the desert. The front wall of the space is a garage door that has windows built in to allow light and the view to filter in even when closed, and which can be rolled up to allow full access to the desert view and sounds. You can lay in bed and watch the sun come up with the door rolled all the way up while letting the cool morning air and birdsong in, or stargaze with the door down and the A/C blowing. The patio chairs in front of the hut offer some of the best, most comfortable (and most convenient!) views of the Marfa lights you`ll ever experience.
This stylish space has been thoughtfully designed to provide guests with all the key features that make for a comfortable stay: a queen bed with natural fiber bedding, a work-station, Starlink WiFi, a seating area for lounging and looking out at the view, a full kitchen with oven, 4 burner stove, fridge & freezer w/ ice maker, along with pots/pans and other kitchen necessities, and dining table facing out the garage door for great views while eating. The full bathroom, which features a tub, is fully enclosed and not part of the open area. An inflatable mattress is available upon request for additional guests - third and fourth guests may stay at the hut for an additional $45 per person, per night.
The outdoor space features a hammock, a propane fire pit, a gas grill, and patio seating so you can take in the beautiful views.
We look forward to hosting you! Check out our IG for more photos and videos @desertskymarfa
**GUESTS WISHING TO BRING A PET MUST INQUIRE FIRST AND OBTAIN PERMISSION. A PET FEE OF $45 PER PET, WITH A LIMIT OF 2 PETS, WILL BE DUE UPON BOOKING. PET POLICY IS OUTLINED IN HOUSE RULES**
Desert Sky is located in Antelope Hills, a beautiful area just outside Marfa (7-10 minute drive to the heart of downtown) that offers guests the absolute best our surrounding desert has to offer while also being as close to downtown and Marfa`s main attractions as a lot of homes that are technically in the city limits.
Please note that there is about five minutes drive-time on a dirt road, once you turn onto Antelope Hills Road. You don`t need 4 wheel, all-while drive, or even high clearance to traverse it, but we want out guests to know what to expect in case driving on an unpaved road isn`t going to work for you and your vehicle.
Please note that the property sits close to the Marfa train tracks. The train can be heard from every residence in our little town, but we do want to make sure guests are aware of this property`s proximity. Given that we sit on the outskirts of town, we are typically subject to less horn blowing which means that the train is not particularly disruptive at this location, though it is close.
There is no curtain covering the garage door in order to make the most of the natural light. Please be aware of this if you are sensitive to light.
Please be aware that refunds will not be issued for insect sightings. We work extremely hard to keep this property clean for our guests, and ask that you be considerate of the fact that Marfa is in the high desert. At certain times of the year insects (including spiders, water bugs, flies, and scorpions) are more active, and may may appear within the house on rare occasions. This is not something we can 100% guard against, and it has nothing to do with lack of cleanliness! If you have a serious phobia of insects and arachnids, please do not book this location. That being said, this space DOES NOT have an insect problem, and this disclaimer is only meant to protect us in in the very rare case of sightings. - -REQUESTING TO BOOK MEANS AGREEMENT OT THE FOLLOWING TERMS:

Desert Sky is a great place to stay! The place had everything we needed to make the stay very comfy. It was clean, beautifully decorated and we saw the Marfa lights!
It was an amazing stay. The Marfa lights were super visible from here. Don’t bother going to the view point lol. Amazing to wake up to the sunrise hitting the mountains.
I thoroughly enjoyed this property. I wanted something away from town so I could enjoy some quiet and night skies, and it delivered for me thoroughly. The place itself is so cute, and it had everything I needed for a nice couple nights rest. It was exactly what I needed after a long week of camping in the desert.
Desert Sky was an amazing space for a solo retreat! Outfitted simply and stylish with all the amenities I needed. The casita and property both had a relaxed vibe that lends itself to personal insight and meditation. I definitely plan to return. Thank you for sharing your space, it was a wonderful experience.
The property was well outfitted and nicely decorated. The kitchen had all the things you need to make breakfast and also has a nice sized refrigerator/freezer with ice maker.

The property was exactly like the pictures. My husband and I enjoyed a quiet and relaxing weekend and would definitely book this property again.
very cool and comfortable space. loved the view out the big door , especially at night. Sitting outside at night is quiet. we loved watching the stars , listening to coyote pups howling, and hearing the train off in the distance. place was clean. kitchen well equipped. we used the coffee machine and cooked breakfast. good shower with a deep tub for the end or start of the day
We were thrilled with the decor, the space, the quiet, the view and all that went into creating this special “Hut”. The kitchen had everything we needed and the bathroom was spacious with a rain shower and deep tub. The info packet had everything we needed for our stay. Thank you for a great stay in Marfa.
I just spent 3 nights at Desert Sky Marfa and it was nothing short of amazing. What a great little quonset hut! Big props to the owners for this place. The nice, minimalist modern touches are great, it's SUPER clean, and has everything you need - full kitchen, gas grill, gas fire pit, etc. And you can see the Marfa lights right out front! A great escape, highly recommended!
Unable to turn off the fan (not that big of a deal), both ceiling lights on right side not working. Someone came during the day and moved our table and chairs we had set up outside.
Really enjoyed our stay here. The house was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. It was a great spot to come back to after exploring Marfa.The sunsets were incredible, the stars were unreal, and seeing the full moon out there was something else. The peace and quiet out here is hard to beat.Check-in was easy, communication was great, and I'd definitely stay here again if I'm back in Marfa.
