Lots of space and loved the washer dryer! Only issue was the handle to the bathroom door kept falling off and a few of us got stuck for a while in there.
Perfect space for quick weekend trip, great floor plan for one couple and one single traveling together. Spotless, exactly as described, great location, and, SUPER quick responsive host! Very minor issue I just wanted host aware of was addressed and resolved about as quick as I sent message. Lovely people to boot!
Second time staying at this property. Came back because of first experience. Nice house in close proximity to activities we attended. Host was easily contactable both stays. Will definitely stay again in the future.
Great stay, plenty of room to rest visit and take in the quiet. Greatly location to visit Big Bend, Mc Donald Observatory, the lights etc, definitely stay again
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.
This is a fantastic place to stay. It has a huge kitchen and lots of space. The yard is wonderful and large. It's close to downtown. Everything is in excellent order. I could not be happier with my stay and look forward to visiting again soon.

We certainly appreciate your numerous stays at our home and this wonderful review. It is wonderful for you to acknowledge all of the work we have done to make the Austinite a true home-away-from-home and that you all enjoy the Marfa experience as well. We hope to have your family back soon!
The house was in walking distance to the Courthouse for Marfa Festival. Communication with property manager was excellent. We enjoyed are stay and the house was very clean and had everything we needed.

About the host
Hosted by Bobbie Meader
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.
