Marfa, Texas
We took this old adobe house down to the mud bricks and remodeled it by hand with mostly reclaimed materials into a super cute warm contemporary cottage. It's an 850 sqr ft one bedroom with hardwood floors throughout. There is a woodstove in the front room and a custom-built 12'x4' daybed that can sleep two in a pinch. Great for lounging side by side in front of the fire. A bathroom floor tiled in pennies, handmade cushions, unique textiles and original art give the house a special Marfa style charm. There is one bathroom with a tub & shower, gas heat, a swamp cooler, full kitchen, big closet, covered back porch and a big fenced back yard with a fire pit. The house is just a block south of the Thunderbird Hotel and Capri bar and restaurant, close to everything in town (everything is close to everything).
This house is great for a single person, couple or a close family You can squeeze in a couple more if you're all good friends and don't mind a slumber party. The house is only 850 square feet and has no door on the one bedroom.
There is 18mbps wifi, which is fast enough to do regular browsing and streaming but may not be adequate for all work from home needs. It's a small town in a rural area and, believe it or not, this is the fastest internet AT&T offers in town!
Nice neighbors, safe, quiet neighborhood (except for passing trains and peacocks) .
I've provided a list of restaurants, stores and art museums with hours and contact info.
Sorry, no actual pony available.

Very accommodating.
We really enjoyed our stay. Very comfortable bed. Lovely house….would book again next trip!
Excellent location, spacious backyard with beautify mature agaves, well-stocked kitchen with Le Cruset cookware, fun interior design with original artwork, and all-around great Marfa -groovy vibe.
We had a great visit at the Fancy Pony Land House. Everything was perfect from cleanliness to location to the stocked kitchen. We loved our stay and will definitely stay there again.
We had a lovely stay at this art-filled home. Our dogs loved the back yard and we enjoyed napping on the hammock. The location is close to all the places that make Marfa special.
We enjoyed our visit to Marfa and were especially happy to be able to see the Marfa Lights. The house was well appointed and has a convenient, quiet location.
We enjoyed our visit and would stay here again. Although the house has been rented out for a decade, it feels like someone's home and is welcoming and generous in various small touches and creature comforts. A lot of thought has been put into anticipating the wants and needs of guests. It has many charming details, and you feel well cared for as a guest. Some aspects of the property have changed and aren't reflected in the description. The stove has been replaced by one that is less interesting but likely easier to use and more familiar; the window AC unit has been replaced by a quieter mini-split system that cools more effectively. However, the photos can be somewhat misleading in that they represent the property at an earlier age. The grass in the backyard has receded dramatically, leaving mostly dirt, and there are a few dead trees, perhaps the result of the extreme weather in 2021. The wood floors are nice but are showing wear and tear evidently due to previous canine guests. We did encounter an issue with the new AC system early in our stay, and the owner was very responsive despite living out of state. Although it took a couple of days to resolve, we felt she was doing her best to help us resolve the situation.
This place has been my go-to for over a decade. And just got some wonderful upgrades! Everything about the space is perfect. You won’t be disappointed.
Excellent experience. My daughter and I had everything we needed in the in The Pony House.
The house was clean, everything was explained in the book, enjoyed our stay, would recommend to others who are visiting Maria.
