Marfa, Texas
Located on a large, agricultural, acreage tract just 1 mile outside of the City of Marfa, the Merit Camp is a 2 bedroom/2.5 bath home constructed in 2021 with saltwater pool that can be heated. Uninterrupted views of the Davis Mountains to the north, Puertacita and Haystacks to northeast, Goat Mountain to east, and Chinati Peak to the southwest. There is nothing else like this home near Marfa!
We built the Merit Camp so guests could experience what it is like to live on an operational ranch, but only a few minutes drive to all that the town of Marfa has to offer. The home was sited to take advantage of the movement of the sun, the big sky, and the sweeping views 20-30 miles in each direction. There are miles of private walking trails on hundreds of acres available exclusively to guests of the Merit Camp. High end appliances, luxury linens, and top-quality furnishings throughout bring all the conveniences of a luxury home to the untamed High Desert; there is no need to compromise comfort.
We offer rates for events of up to 100 guests; inquire for current rates.

The house is gorgeous, so sleek but cozy at the same time. The pool was perfect temp. Nice having the walled-in yard area for the dogs. you can see every star in the sky at night. Loved sitting on the back porch. Everything was great!
This is our 2nd stay here, the house, property & pool are amazing. All the comforts of home in a fantastic location. This trip we had car trouble & they were so kind to assist us by being flexible & helpful. Highly recommend!!
Beautiful ranch house, amazing views, magical experience - these are just a few words to describe our stay in Marfa at Merit Camp. Every detail of this awesome property was well planned and no amenity was overlooked. A great place to escape for a few days of much needed R & R. Thank you for making our trip such a wonderful experience!
The home was beautiful and very well appointed with anything you might need. The setting a short distance from Marfa is very peaceful. We saw cool wildlife near the house. We would definitely stay here again.
Beautiful property and views, great location, and wonderful local host. Thank you!
The property could not be better - gorgeous, full of amenities, and with incomparable views of the stars. Great location too!
Everything was great about the stay!! Owner was awesome to communicate with and help out!! YOU HAVE TO STAY HERE!!!
Excellent home for a lovely stay in Marfa.
Wasn't sure what to expect but this location provided all that plus more. Very clean, upscale, quiet, relaxing, safe and the views were to die for. The swimming pool is perfect in the west Texas sun and even better for late night star gazing. We will definitely be back.
My wife and I have traveled all over the world and stayed in VRBOs far and wide, and this is the nicest, most beautiful and serene property and home we’ve stayed in. The house smells and looks absolutely brand new. Gorgeous pool. High end appliances and everything throughout. Location is just amazing. Literally a mile ish from the town of Marfa on a ranch property that is so quiet at any time of the day or night that you can hear a pin drop. Breathtaking sunrises, sunsets and stars. Communication with the owner was effortless. Believe me. You get what you pay for, and this is worth every single penny. Cannot wait to come back.
We've stayed at several places in the 10 years we've been coming to Marfa. This was definitely one of our very favorite places. It is just far enough out of town that you have almost complete peace and quiet. You can just faintly hear the frequent trains that come through Marfa. The house and backyard were wonderful. We spent a lot of time on the back porch just sitting and enjoying the tranquility. We had some cute little cottontails visiting us during our stay. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in the pool relaxing. We had everything we needed and more! Excellent home and we will definitely be back during our next trip to Marfa.
Incredible property - Spoiled rotten good!
we were a group of 4 (2 adult couples) who enjoyed a couple of nights in this rental during a short stay in marfa. the house is very nice, the location is great (close to town but definitely away from it all), and the hosts/check in were smooth and easy. we were very happy with the house itself and would readily stay here again.
Incredibly smooth booking and stay, beautiful space and immaculately kept inside and out.
Beautiful house on beautiful land. You’ll have vast views but you are right in town. The owner’s description is 100% correct. Only way to see Marfa.
My wife and our furbaby loved this listing. Very quiet and secluded but minutes from town as well. The pool is amazing at 95° and the house is beautiful. Kitchen also well stocked with quality cook and dining ware. Would recommend to anyone.
We loved staying here. The house was very nice and the views are amazing. It is very close to town but it feels farther away. I look forward to staying there again.
Perfect and peaceful! Will stay again and again!
If you’re looking at this property and thinking it looks incredible, rest assured - it really is as good the photos make it out to be. It was so quiet out there at night you could hear a pin drop. The stars and sunsets were really a dream come true. Host was incredibly welcoming and responsive to any questions. Just book it now and thank me later.
This property is amazing if you're looking for a truly relaxing stay in the middle of nowhere. The property owner has definitely put a lot of thought and planning into the home and amenities. Everything was clean, neat, and just as described and pictured. The pool was amazing, such a beautiful place to enjoy the stars and quiet comforts of this property. Communication with the property owner was clear and speedy.
It was just what we were looking for
Everything about this house was PERFECT! The host was very communicative and sweet. She literally thought of everything when furnishing; Not one detail was overlooked and we couldn't have been more pleased with our stay. The skies and views were amazing from sun up to sun down (unobstructed sunrises and sunsets) and the star gazing from the heated pool was our absolute favorite part :) As frequent travelers that utilize rental properties, we agree that this was our favorite to date!
I’ve been coming out to Marfa for 14 years on girls trips and this house is definitely the most beautiful and private that I’ve ever stayed at. The home is perfectly curated and no detail is left untouched. The house has everything you need for cooking, grilling and the pool is great for relaxing. The views are breathtaking. The home owner is very responsive and answered all of our questions. I can’t wait to come back!
