Stayed Nov 26, 2025It was an awesome place to stay off the beaten path. Loved Sitting on the porch early morning watching the Sunrise & the wildlife. Truly God’s masterpiece It was great to come back to our roots in west Texas where I grew up to relax & spend time with our local family. Marathon is small but mighty. We love coming out here every year for our cousin get together at Thanksgiving Great hostess!!

Stayed Oct 27, 2025Our stay at Casa La Vista in Marathon, TX was absolutely wonderful. Wilma was an exceptional host—her communication was prompt, friendly, and incredibly helpful from start to finish. The house itself was perfect: immaculately clean, thoughtfully laid out, and beautifully designed to take in the sweeping mountain views.At night, the dark skies were filled with stars—an unforgettable sight. Every detail was clearly well thought out, from the comfortable furnishings to the provided coffee (a much-appreciated touch in the mornings!).We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Casa La Vista to anyone visiting the area. Thank you, Wilma, for your excellent hospitality!

Stayed Oct 14, 2024Lovely place to stay that is easy to get to with easy access to everything you want to see but is very private with gorgeous dark sky views. Will absolutely stay again. Thank you for accommodating us for a last minute stay when the first place we booked did not work out. Thank you thank you.

Stayed Aug 30, 2024We had a great time at Casa La Vista. The location was perfect for viewing the night sky, the sunrise and sunsets each day. It had everything we needed for cooking a delicious dinner outside and breakfast in the morning. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom spacious. Great towels! The house has great views of the mountains from every window.
