Everything was perfect

The property is just as listed - very clean, with all of the amenities (and use of laundry facilities upon notice), the property manager responded to my communications promptly and with helpful suggestions. Also, this apartment is nicely located right in the middle of downtown Marfa, just one building off the main street, so little to none for traffic noise. There is, however, the occasional train that comes through a few streets over. Overall, everything was perfect.

About the host

Hosted by Anne Clark, on-site manager

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 at all times 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.
