Well-maintained property in a great location

Very clean, well-outfitted unit in a historic boarding house right in the middle of town. Very cute common areas as well - I made good use of the balcony for reading in the afternoons. Everything went smoothly. Location was great, too - I was able to do everything in town on foot, plus plenty of opportunity to walk around and take pictures. Great stay!

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
All I generally need from a hotel room is a good shower, adequate temperature control, and a comfortable bed. It is really nice when a place is magnificent on all of those accounts. Over and above that: - The gas heaters with the visible flame were a wonderful touch. - The furnishings and kitchen were beautiful. - The attached balcony let us relax in the open air. - The common room is full of interesting artifacts and art. - It was fun talking to Anne about her studio and the history of the place. Highest marks, well recommended!

Well appointed unit, very comfortable and stylish. Good value.

TV doesn't work, maybe the remote needs batteries. Coffee needs improvement.

Heart of Marfa

Loved the cozy apartment type accommodations that gave you privacy. Also, enjoyed the inviting common spaces such as the gallery with comfortable seating. My favorite space was the upstairs covered balcony that had amazing breezes. Enjoyed watching the happenings of the community from above. Anne is a lovely hospitable host for this charming dwelling. I would love to stay longer next time.

Hidden Gem

I decided to do a Vrbo search after not being terribly impressed by the places I was told I "must stay" when visiting Marfa. I loved that it was in walking distance of just about anything and everything you'd want to see and do within the town square, as well as the fact that the house itself is a piece of history. Once I was there, it truly felt like home. The apartment was very clean with a great heating and cooling system, and just about anything you'd want in a home away from home, such as major appliances. Anne, the on-site manager, was easy to contact, and was very friendly, as well as very accommodating. There are lots of great sitting areas with TV and fireplaces that are super homey, and the wifi works great! I hope to come back to Marfa sooner rather than later, and when I do, I want to stay at Marfa House.

Great spot in the center of this small town. Rooms are a but funky, but I liked that. Only tv is on the screened porch which was very cold during my visit. Didn’t plan to watch tv, but if you do it could be a factor.

About the host

Hosted by Christa M.

Host profile image
Marfa House was an historic, but derelict, adobe structure when the owner purchased it in 2005. After a 14-year renovation project, it was opened in Spring, 2019 to offer guests accommodations in a building with historic character and comfortable modern amenities steps from the center of Marfa. Our manager, Sonya, lives nearby and is available to respond to guests' needs and answer questions about local resources.

Why they chose this property

Marfa offers many lodgings for travelers, but few that have links to Marfa's 19th century old-West roots and a location literally steps from the galleries, bars, and restaurants of the town's heart. Nearly every room at Marfa House features original art that echoes a blend of Marfa's historic character and its contemporary vibe. Why not stay at a lodging that will provide you with magic memories of your West Texas visit, as well as comfort and convenience?

A WORD ABOUT OUR CLEANING PRACTICES IN THE WAKE OF THE PANDEMIC:
Marfa House wants our guests to be safe during their visits. In response to the Covid-19 Pandemic, we have committed to the following practices:
--The Marfa House apartments will be left vacant a minimum of 24 hours between guest residencies.
--The host will socially distance and wear a mask during direct interactions with guests. Guests will, of course, have all-hours access to the Marfa House entry and their booked unit via keypad entrance access, including for check-in.
--An antiseptic solution will be used to clean all contact surfaces in each unit before guests check in--including door knobs, appliances, counters, and mini split AC/heating and ceiling fan remotes, as well as multiple daily wipe-downs of other high-traffic surfaces such as entry door knobs, light switches, stair railings, and the television remote in the Atrium.
----The space is heated and cooled with an individual mini split HVAC units which utilize fresh air from outside, so there is no recirculated air which could result in health concerns.

What makes this property unique

Marfa House gives you immediate proximity to all the popular venues of the central historic district. In addition to its comfortable private rooms--most with full kitchen/dining rooms and comfortable living rooms, it provides comfortable common areas: Our 2nd floor balcony, our two-story screened atrium, and our "common living room" gallery allow you to meet other guests if you wish, or merely relax and enjoy your leisure time. Marfa House features free WiFi throughout the hotel. Each apartment includes a binder of information about your lodging and maps and descriptions of local destinations and restaurants.
