The house was easy to find and the parking space was very nice. The landscaping and outdoor tables were very inviting. There was 4 in our party and we enjoyed the spacious bedrooms and common living and dining areas. There was plenty of hot water for us all to shower. My one an only complaint is the door lock. It took us multiple, multiple attempts to get it open and had to call the property manager for assistance. Detailed instructions would be good. Thank you, to the owners. We had a great time.

.Good location and great for a group The two bathrooms are just fair and not convenient to the master, due to the remodeled plan of the house. But overall it is fun to be in a house!
Great property. Close to everything and lots of room. Had a problem with Expedia but the property owner was great. We will stay there again.
House was awesome and in the perfect location.
For the location, not a bad place to stay
This is the second time we have stayed at the Austinite house. Love the location because it’s quiet.
Thank you for sharing your home. Proximity to nearby attractions was great, and the neighborhood was very nice. Covered parking was a plus. But for review purposes I must say the home is very worn. Kitchen cabinet and drawer knobs were all very loose and kitchen drawers were ill-fitting. Generally, finishes are worn. Furniture and kitchenware seemed like a large collection of hand-me downs from folks that didn't want the items in their own home. Most of the window blinds would not raise or stay raised. Outdoor furniture was an odd assortment of ornamental iron chairs with no pads (small pillows were provided on the front porch). Door locks barely catch, and a door in the kids room (behind a shelf unit) was found to be unlocked and the chain lock ripped from the door trim. Grills (propane and a very small charcoal grill provided) were not clean and ready to go - fortunately I brought my own. I understand it's hard to keep things maintained in a small, distant town - but this home needs a lot of TLC.
The house was in walking distance to the Courthouse for Marfa Festival. Communication with property manager was excellent. We enjoyed are stay and the house was very clean and had everything we needed.
Wonderful home in a fantastic location.
We have been to Marfa several times and love staying in houses. With grandparents, daughter/spouse and grandson (12) it's nice to have our own space. This house had 2 baths, 3 bedrooms and sleeping for 10. Kitchen was well equiped for us to have breakfasts. Lots of outdoor sitting. Covered car parking. Quiet neighborhood. Easy to get to observatory and Ft. Davis. Temp in house was very comfortable. No complaints.
We traveled with my elderly mother and this home was a perfect fit. She can walk, but steps are difficult. The home had a walk in shower and only one step at the entrance door! Perfect! The home is large enough that nobody was crowded and the living spaces are roomy. The kitchen was fully equipped for all of our needs. In addition, the location is walking distance (for those who are NOT limited mobility!) to the courthouse and several restaurants. Very convenient location.
Great stay, plenty of room to rest visit and take in the quiet. Greatly location to visit Big Bend, Mc Donald Observatory, the lights etc, definitely stay again
House is a bit dated (too many old doors), bedroom doors don’t lock/ glass windows on interior doors, small washer/dryer, but overall a nice place and great location. Enjoyed it.
The place really has a nice backyard and location. It has plenty of room and wonderful art. We had a comfortable stay. I would give it a 5 star review but I believe the amenities could use updating or better labeling/instructions. Would stay there again.
My husband and I brought our teenage grandson to Marfa as a homebase. We spent our long weekend exploring Big Bend, Bahlmorea State Park, and the little artsy oasis known as Marfa. The house is comfortable and clean, wifi strong and the kitchen well equipped. We especially enjoyed afternoons on the front porch and the grill in the backyard. We all slept well and enjoyed the extra touches at this property. Will stay again.
Loved the property and it’s location. We were in Marfa for the Marfa 100 bike ride and really enjoyed our stay. The house is quite comfortable and cozy.
Very clean and look forward to staying there again!
Comfortable, clean and quiet area.
We loved this house. The garden is so lovely with seats for viewing the night sky. The trees offer shade, the AC was cool and fresh. The kitchen well stocked. The beds and bedrooms offered flexible sleeping arrangements. I would just say that the bedroom doors were sometimes tricky to shut because they're old but that would be my only comment. We did our laundry, made our coffee, easily walked to town, and had good wifi although no one was doing much work while we were there. Host was responsive. Overall great stay!
Covered parking space. Loved the huge backyard. Appliances and air conditioning all worked great. Kitchen is good size and well furnished with cookware, made for easy heating of food. Keep in mind this home is almost 100 years old and is showing the typical historic home things that could use some attention, not surprising at all for a home this old and it only added to the charm. Also it appears that it was built during an era when everyone had a piece of furniture known as a wardrobe to keep their clothes in. There are no closets at all, but the owner has made accommodations for that in each bedroom, which is really all you would need when traveling. Again, that is part of the historic era when this home was built. If we have occasion to be in Marfa again we will definitely rent this home again.
The ;house was full of local charm and character! The surrounding grounds even better! We loved sitting by the waterfall pond having coffee every morning watching the birds. Always a great way to start the day!
This cute 3/2 house has a beautiful outdoor setup and is a short walk to everything in town.
We loved the home and yard. The back yard is like a hidden garden. Really enjoyed sitting out there and reading. The house is so cute and very functional. Much nicer than the pictures. Kitchen has everything we needed to prepare nice meals. Location is just west of the courthouse. Easy to walk everywhere. We would definately go there again.
We enjoyed staying in the house that my mother actually grew up in back in the 50s! It brought back so many memories for her. Completely priceless. Thank you.
