About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Best View in Marfa close to town!<br>

Bookings for the entire property at Marfa View are available from November 17, 2023 through January 4, 2024. The entire property sleeps 10 guests in two separate buildings.
For 2024 booking questions please contact owner.
The total property sleeps 8-10 in two separate buildings.
MAIN HOUSE (2000sf) on the property sleeps up to 4 guests in two bedrooms, each with a separate bath. It is passive solar. Thick Adobe walls keep the house cool in the summer and warm in the winter. There is a Rumsford Fireplace in the living room and a Rockport wood burning stove in the main house living space to provide heat in the winter. The night time temperatures at our altitude (4800ft+) are up to 30 degrees cooler than daytime. This night time cold is retained in the adobe walls and keeps the house cool in the summer.
CASITA (800sf) has a Master bedroom with a queen bed, a twin trundle and a private bath with a large shower. It also has a Kitchen and a Laundry. The Casita Living Room has a separate full bath and a queen sleeper sofa. Large glass sliding doors open onto patio with an unobstructed view of the Davis Mountains.
The Casita is included in the rental price noted on the calendar.

"Marfaview" will connect you to the unique landscape of the West Texas Marfa Plateau. The town of Marfa is about 2-3 miles away. A stay at our property allows you to experience both. If you enjoy morning walks there is 3 mile route around the rural neighborhood with views of the Chinati mountains. Another option is a walk into town or along Golf Course Road towards the Marfa Golf Course.(9 holes).
We are located in Antelope Hills and have unobstructed views of the Davis Mountains and other peaks - a great location for photographers and anyone needing to relax, unplug or rewind.

the pictures on VRBO do not do this property justice. the home is modern and spacious. the main house with two bedrooms and baths, kitchen and large living space. The master is very big with walk-in in closet and sitting area. There is a BONUS little apartment included. The home sits on a very large property, good for walking, exploring and reflection. No neighbors on the north side, just beautiful wide open space. The patio faces north and has a seating are perfect for morning coffee. Definitely made our top 5 FAV rentals!

Absolutely Spectacular
I can't imagine a more perfect stay in Marfa. Our family enjoyed the space inside and out. Every detail is thoughtful and artfully curated to make you comfortable, but to take advantage of the spacious and amazing Marfa Sky. We saw a prong horn antelope! You can't see that in Dallas! Don't look anywhere else to stay in Marfa, this is THE SPOT. Thank you Barbara!

Artist residence; remote feel just 2 miles from town
Artist residence; pueblo design overlooking the majestic Marfa openness. We needed uninterrupted, open time to prepare for a work project and came to Marfa. The owner put us in touch with the property overseer and she purchased groceries ahead of time for us, which was a tremendous help. We recommend this property and would visit again.

This property was truly a pleasure to stay at. I will visit Marfa in the future just to stay at this house. The home itself was tasteful and beautiful. Breathtaking view (especially at golden hour).

Great view, spacious house, tastefully furnished, host was very accommodating.
Plenty of room for six people between both the main house and casita. Home was nicely furnished and owner was welcoming guests and accommodating. Only downside is no a/c in main house, which was uncomfortable in August when we visited.

Stunning views!
We are so happy that we chose this house instead of other options closer to the center. The property is beautiful with stunning views of the surrounding landscape and great light. It was such a joy to wake up in this house. The main house and the casita together provided the perfect combination of spaces to gather or find quiet when needed.

Perfect Marfa Getaway
My friend and I really enjoyed our stay here. The property is beautiful with lovely unobstructed views. The living spaces and bedrooms are also well appointed and comfortable. The location is great because you get the feel of being out on the high desert but town is less than 10 minutes away. It's a great location to relax, soak in the natural beauty, and take advantage of what the area has to offer. Barbara was also very helpful and made herself available for any questions. We hope to return one day!

Retreat Time in Marfa
The property, inside and out, is amazing! The view is incredible and the feeling of being "in the middle of nowhere", but just minutes to downtown Marfa was wonderful. The home was delightful for our week's stay. However, I think it is good to remember that there will be "critters" and some dirt that just happens from where this home is located. The sound of the coyotes was wonderful. The stars were absolutely amazing. We made day trips to Alpine, Marathon, and Fort Davis. Marfa and the Marfa Lights (YES, we DID see them!!) were enchanting. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Needs work
Nice location, but needs work. Shower heads are poor, guest bath dark, bugs in light globe, outside looks junky - one wall needs repair, has a board held by 2 chairs and bricks. One 5oz bottle of bath soap half empty in guest bath, nothing else - no lotion, shampoo, etc., no wash cloths. Several windows couldn't be opened with notes taped to windowsill. Look at the pictures of the mirrors in the master bath - terrible. Probably expecting too much since we had stayed at several places that were so welcoming - bottle of wine, gift baskets for breakfast, etc. Nothing here. Communication was great with owner, beautiful sunrises and sunsets, everything clean on inside. This place could be great if some work was done and updated.

great house and beautiful views
We've spent time in Marfa every year for the last 6-7 years, and this is the best house we've found so far. Plenty of room and the views from the house and the patios are fantastic. Very peaceful and scenic - it's hard to believe you're just on the outskirts of town. And you don't hear the train! Barbara was wonderful in getting us checked-in and situated.

Should you stay in Marfa? Absolutely. This property is amazing and very vell worth it. Surely you’ll appreciate the architecture and the view from the backyard is second to none. It is rural so I recommend arriving early before nightime as google maps and Apple maps are unreliable. Highly recommended!

Great property!
The property was wonderful. It met all our expectations and more. Very clean, comfortable and peaceful. And, as advertised, the views were spectacular. We didn’t cook much but the kitchen was more than well equipped. In fact, the whole house was. Coming back to the house for drinks on the patio, watching a glorious sunset after some interesting day trips made this a special vacation. Oh, and morning coffee on the patio wasn’t too shabby either.

Not as described
It was a unique beautiful property in some ways. Extremely hard to find and not clear communication on how to get to the property and we circled around town for an hour trying to find it. NOT three bedrooms like described which was super frustrating to find out after a long journey here. No TV like it says in the description also. Needs some love. A lot of burnt out lights and master bathroom shower was basically a cave because of no light and a broken shower head. Would not recommend this place until they start being honest about the listing. Also would like to note that I’m not one of those people who EVER leaves bad reviews and I rent a lot. Just wanted to warn others.
