Artist Loft - Western Edge of Marfa

Summary:
Residence in former art studio on shared 8-acre ranchette on a dirt road at the western edge of town, opposite miles of open range. The loft is 750 sq-ft of high-ceiling open space with 600 sq-ft of covered porch in a private building.

The Space:
Art studio residence on shared 8-acre ranchette on a dirt road at the western edge of town, opposite miles of open range. The loft is 750 sq-ft of high-ceiling open space with 600 sq-ft of covered porch in a private building.

The spacious high-ceiling loft contains custom made art-crate furniture including a double bed, a large coffee table and a rolling closet, as well as pine dining table with Prouvé chairs, a comfortable sofa, and outdoor retro rockers. The kitchen is equipped with a microwave, cooking range, countertop oven, toaster, coffee maker, and cooking and eating utensils. The bathroom has a custom designed concrete shower and sink. The loft is owned by two artists whose artworks are on display. It is outfitted with high speed wi-fi, heating and cooling systems, and ceiling fans. The south facing covered 600-ft outdoor deck is ideal for lounging day and night.

The building sits on a shared 8-acre ranchette with plenty of land on which you are welcome to roam. Gorgeous landscape extends in all directions, with quiet roads perfect for long walks. There are loads of bunnies, jackrabbits, and the occasional tortoise, javelina, fox, and other wildlife can be spotted. It is an especially good area for birding; the extreme silence only punctuated by the calls and songs of the many varieties of birds.

The place is ideal for a couple or small family requiring room and tranquility. It's spacious inside and out, airy with lots of light. While it's out of the fray of downtown, it's a short walk, bike ride or drive to the Judd and Chinati Foundations, coffeehouses, restaurants, supermarkets and shops.

CHECKIN/OUT: Checkins start at 4PM and checkout is 10AM. For early checkins or late checkouts talk to your host to make a request. Early checkins or late checkouts start at $50 each.

PETS: We do allow pets with permission. Each pet requires a $35 cleaning fee. Fees can be added in the app under “Guest Totals”. You’ll see an option to add pets which will add fees for non-service pets. Please send photo of service pet papers. Non-service pets should not be added to pet total. Because every pet is different, we have no idea the amount of cleaning that will be required. Please be respectful and clean up after your pet. Please do not allow your pets to roam in the yard without supervision. We have neighbors that have various animals and pets, and do not want to upset them in any way. Thanks for your cooperation!

Guest Access:
Guests have access to the entire property. Please note there is an owner's studio next door that will not be occupied during your visit. The door is always locked.

The Neighborhood:
West Washington Street is on the quieter side of town - looking out at pristine, private, pastureland!

it's all about adaptation
very funky booking experience. stressful lack of communication with property mgmt despite on-time booking payments, and a few questions asked. no confirmation and arrival instructions were received almost up to travel day, when i was informed payment had not been received, despite timely transaction confirmation on my credit card statement. VRBO support ultimately provided me the phone number of the out-of-state owner, who was genuinely and appropriately concerned re status of the situation, and got issues straightened out with the property management team for our imminent arrival. My husband and i basically liked the vibe of the place; however, it was not very physically comfortable overall, especially for a 6-night stay. we adapted as best we could to numerous issues, and at end of our stay i provided a list of suggested improvements, which could make for a much more pleasant stay for future visitors. property management team replied, informing me they would no longer be managing the property as of a week after our stay. i then supplied the list directly to the owner who expressed appreciation and hope that our stay had been satisfactory. my husband and i were very happy to be in Marfa again after a 10-year absence, and the stay was satisfactory overall.

Perfection
1 mike always from courthouse, plus I love walking through neighborhoods. Incredible sunset views, night sky (we were lucky with the timing - got great views of venus +mercury . Studio was very well kept. Fans could use a cleaning but welcome to the desert, hard to keep dust off. They have some cooking items, salt, pepper and such but very close to Porters if you need anything. This would be a hard summer stay due to heat / small air conditioner. Also not a great place for dogs - tons and dons of spurs so even my dog going to the bathroom was a challenge. B Oh the porch! The porch! Loved our stay. Only real quibble was the turnaround time to answer questions from host. We wanted to extend our stay but didn’t hear back. No big deal tho.

Quiet Retreat
What a great spot to reset, star-gaze, read and just enjoy Marfa. The studio is spacious and clean, with a fantastic porch for morning coffee or late night star gazing. Would definitely stay here again.

Simply Marfa-lous
Perfectly simple. This artist loft boasts beautiful views and quiet comfort. The furniture, while functional, is also an artist's unique take on desert living. Offering every amenity you could need, you are certain to enjoy your stay while being close enough to everything but still far enough away to enjoy the city and country side of Marfa.

Just what we wanted: Quiet!
If you want to unplug and enjoy some quiet time while still being close to Marfa'a amenities, this is the place. A full, shady porch is the top draw here.

Very cool minimalist vibe
A perfect spot for a solo workcation. Wifi was super fast and reliable, super clean, mattress was comfortable. Would be tough if you had 2+ people trying to work remotely here since it is all one big room, but it was excellent for my situation! Very quiet and calm location--not in the middle of things, but a short drive into town. It is close to the train tracks, so worth bringing ear plugs if you are a light sleeper!
