About this property

Marfa House La Junta: In the center of Marfa

Marfa House, originally built as a railroad hotel in 1890, offers an oasis of comfortable accommodations in the heart of Marfa's historic center, only a short walk from galleries, restaurants, and bars. Our apartments have kitchen and dining amenities to provide guests with meal-time options. Our apartments also feature solid-wood beds, premium bedding, and furnishings and original art with a contemporary and West Texas flair.

The space
La Junta is an efficiency apartment with a queen-sized bed, comfortable seating with reading lights and a blue tooth speaker, and a dining area and fully equipped kitchenette. The kitchenette offers a small refrigerator, a microwave, small sink, coffee maker, and plates, glassware and flatware, with seating for two. The en suite bathroom provides a shower with glass block natural lighting. Recent adjustments to the heat controls for the en suite bath shower ensure that there is ample hot water for La Junta guests. La Junta guests can also relax in our art gallery--a common living room with gas fireplace and leather couches, enjoy the view and ambiance from comfortable seating on our front balcony, or nest in the banquette seating in our screened atrium with its fire pit and large screen TV.
Interaction with guests:
Keypad entry allows guests to self-check in; but our on-site manager is available to assist you in meeting your needs as a guest and offering suggestions and information about local venues.

Other things to note
The City of Marfa charges a local occupancy tax of seven percent, in addition to the state occupancy tax of six percent. . We are registered with the City as Lodging No. S105. Guests should also note the following: El Balcon is adjacent to a kitchen/dining room for another unit. We have blocked the door between the two units and provided sound insulation devices in addition to the solid locked door, but occasionally guests at El Balcon may hear voices and other sounds from the adjoining space.

Marfa Wedding.
Everything was very nice. The bed was comfortable and the room was better than expected. The only issue was the coffee pot did not work well.

About the host

Hosted by Anne Clark, on-site manager

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 their 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 apartments--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.
