You'll have private access to the outdoor shower. There is a little patio space with a bench and cafe seating in front of the casita to sit and enjoy the expansive west Texas sky and enjoy a snack. Room for parking in front of the main house and directly next to the casita in the alley spot provided- strictly yours! The casita is nestled within a residential alley, which acts as some of our local streets. So note, you will be in an alley but in the comfort of a small home.
You are offered a private stay, and I am a message or call away should anything arise. I believe in travel being restorative and reflective- so you are provided you your own space to tap in! Notably, the casita is in the backyard of a main house, but is fenced off for privacy. Please do not knock on the door of the main house or enter that property. Also park either in the spot provided, or on Russell or Dean St (not in front of the main house). Thanks for understanding :)
This casita is in the original town of marfa, one of the oldest neighborhoods. It is a 3 blocks off of the main street (Highland Ave) in Marfa, a stone's throw to the courthouse and across the street from the iconic Marfa water tower. Walk north 5 blocks for mountain gazing, west 1/4 a mile for some beautiful footpaths.
Marfa is very walkable! A mile long by two miles wide, and nearly a mile high, it's easy to bike or walk to most anywhere. Having a rental car is ideal getting into town and granting yourself access to our famed Star Parties at the MacDonald Observatory outside of Fort Davis, swimming at Balmorhea, hiking in Big Bend and visiting quaint, nearby Alpine, TX. Use ebike marfa for alternative wheels.
Please kindly note: this adobe is located in the high desert, in a remote region. We have dust, even dust storms. We have insects and arachnids including spiders, ants and scorpions - and more! I hope this far out landscape is part of why you have chosen this locale. That said, please note a 100 year old structure does not guarantee a complete seal. This does not mean the casita has not been fully, and thoughtfully, cleaned for you. Please do not consider booking the place if you are the type who is unable to handle dust that might have blown in, or an errant insect. *This is not to signify an insect problem, but rather as a gentle and kind warning of a rare situation.* Many thanks.
I look forward to hosting you! Come enjoy all that Marfa offers and stay in a comfortable, quiet and private space to fully sink in.
