Historic two storey adobe house in the heart of Marfa

Our unique and beautifully detailed home is over a century old and recently renovated from the ground up. It is one of the few 2 story, late 19th century west Texas family homes in existence. Large, deeply cased windows and two foot adobe walls are a special feature of the home. Upstairs you will find two bedrooms. The master has a king bed, and the 2nd bedroom has a queen and a bunk bed. The bathroom is downstairs and has a walk-in shower.

Wonderful!
We loved our stay the Collie House. The home was clean, spacious, and very comfortable. Equipped with everything we needed. The location is amazing! The home is near nightlife and the train so some evenings were noisier than others. We prepared and brought sound machines to help at night and would definitely recommend others do so, especially if traveling with kiddos.

Love it! Stayed in many… this one is tops!
Just a fantastic home. We go to Marfa often (building a house there) and this has been the best VRBO stay yet. It is an awesome original Marfa adobe home but thoroughly updated. It is quintessential Marfa. Location is great… only downside for those not used to Marfa is how close it is to the train. But the train runs right through the middle of town. So escaping the train is not an easy feat. You absolutely cannot go wrong with this house. We will definitely be back.

Great location!
The house is terrific in every way. Could not ask for a better location for walking around town. A bit noisy with the trains and construction going on across the street every day starting early. Having only one bathroom downstairs was a difficult at night. Be aware. Also, yard, especially back yard could use some landscaping attention as it’s not very inviting as is. Other than that the house is spacious, comfortable, and inviting. Thanks for a great stay!
