    I loved watching the cubby of quail in the yard while I ate breakfast. I needed another wash cloth. I love sitting out in the evening on the patio, very relaxing. Perfect place to stay before heading to Big Bend.

    Jim was a great host. Very responsive! The place is small but set up perfect with great use of the space. We had all the comforts of home. Our favorite part was sitting outside listening to the radio by the fire. While stargazing! There’s a small but nice park not far from the house and several local restaurants. The grocery store is small but has a little bit of everything, just expect to pay double. I was a bit sticker shocked. There is a bigger grivery store in Alpine with reasonable prices about 30 min away. Big Bend isn’t too far from this location.Overall a great place to stay. Will definitely be back!

    We had a fantastic stay at Sunset Ranch. The accommodations were exactly as described and met our needs perfectly. We had everything we needed to cook meals as we wanted to and the outdoor area was ideal for enjoying the birds during the day and the stars at night. Thanks!

    Great location close to Main Street in Marathon. Cozy and quaint. We loved the patio for stargazing! Having a keyless entry was helpful and convenient!

    We enjoyed the house & location. It was very accommodating for our pet, we have a Belgian malinois so she’s very busy. Very big lot for her to roam. The speakers on the patio were excellent, my kids really enjoyed that. Made s’more in the fire pit & stayed warm, it got cool the evening. Close proximity to Big Bend. Overall it was a great relaxing weekend for me & my family!!

    Extremely peaceful property on our way to visit Big Bend. The owner thought of every convenience to ensure a wonderful vacation. Our favorite was the outdoor area and all the windows to enjoy the beautiful night sky and morning view for miles.

    We were not at the house much but when we were we found it to be perfect. Loved the speakers in and outside. Kids loved the hammock. It was perfect for what we needed. Thank you!

    It was the perfect place to stay to enjoy hiking and sightseeing. A bit of a drive to the good spots but such a relaxing place when you get back. The description was spot on!

    It was unseasonably cold, but adequate heat options were available. It would’ve been nice to have more time and better weather to enjoy the property

    I found the accommodations to be very well thought out and comfortable. Everything was clean and in good working order. Watching the stars, the sunrises and the sunsets was a pleasure. It is also close to Big Bend and Fort Davis. The Gage Gardens are beautiful.
