About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Fun for up to 4 guests.

Located at the quiet, western edge of Marfa, comfortable, private and peaceful, this great little Marfa abobe is the perfect spot for you to isolate, get-away and enjoy the high desert views of West Texas. On-site parking, entire house which is not attached to any other structure. Concrete floors and high ceilings, air conditioned, heated and has wifi and nice star gazing from courtyard.
Two bedrooms:
- 1 bedroom downstairs with a queen sized bed.
-1 cozy upstairs loft bedroom with a queen sized bed. There are stairs going to the upstairs. (See pics). If someone is staying upstairs and they need to use the bathroom all through the night, they will have to come down the stairs to do so. The bathroom is on the ground floor.
House is most comfortable for no more than 4 guests.
Full kitchen with all appliances and utensils for meals.
Full bath with rain head shower.
Lofty ceilings
There is a large, flat screen "smart TV" which is mainly used for dvd viewing. There is a fun selection of DVD’s but there is no cable tv. You may use to the TV for Netflix etc by signing in if you have an account. There is no solid guarantee on wifi streaming speeds.
WIFI - There is wifi at the house.
Some views of the Davis Mountains from the property and from upstairs.
Courtyard with distant mountain views and a fun small soaking tub (this is a handmade, “cowboy”, rustic outdoor tub with both hot and cold water.)
Comfy chairs inside can be moved outside for wonderful star viewing.

The historic Paisano Hotel, Marfa Book Company and galleries in the center of town are a 3 minute drive away, though many guests enjoy walking to downtown, about 20 minutes. Several fun restaurants are walking distance, less than 5 blocks away.

A few minute's walk from the Cemetery Merced at the end of the street, Convenience West BBQ and The Water Stop. That area is high on the western edge of town, a nice place to watch the sunset, with nice views of the ranch lands and plenty of distant mountains. The railroad runs though Marfa. You will see the train from the house back yard and from upstairs. Please read what every other homeowner in Marfa has written about the train. It is the reason there is a town in the middle of the desert.

You will interact with me when booking the property - I'll be happy to answer any questions you might have in advance of your visit. At the property, you'll let yourself in, and will have phone numbers for the house manager who will be able to troubleshoot if you happen to need assistance during reasonable hours of your stay, not at 1:00 am. Please keep in mind, this is a website which offers people's homes for rent. This is not a hotel with 24hr concierge service.

PETS - Guests must get prior approval before bringing any pets to property. Dogs under 50 lbs are more than likely to be ok'd by home owner. Pet owner is totally responsible for any and all clean-up and will be charged for any damages.

Due to the city wide "burn ban" which is in effect, there are no outdoor fires allowed at this time.

Check-in time is 4:00 pm unless we have guests departing the same day as your arrival at which time check-in will be 5:00 pm.

As a concerned homeowner, I have implemented strict cleaning and sanitizing procedures for my house. We want to assure our guests that every precaution is being taken by our cleaning team to provide a safe, relaxing and comfortable stay in Marfa. We ask that all renters please adhere to social distancing and wearing masks when entering public spaces within our area.
Renters must check with VRBO for details on any refunds due to Covid-19 virus cancellations. Not all reservations are eligible for full refunds.

An absolutely charming house for a fantastic stay in West Texas!
Terry's house is charming and cozy; the perfect place to base yourself from to explore Marfa and Big Bend. While the house is small, the layout worked great and had such a sense of spaciousness.

EXCELLENT property and host
Terry built this home with his own hands. Much of the furniture and art was also built/created by him. We were very impressed with the house, and level of communication from the host. Would definitely stay here again!

Quaint Marfa Adobe
Beautiful little home on the edge of town that has been curated with years of art work and other finds creating a special place to stay in the desert of West Texas. Terry has put a lot of time into making sure the home offers a unique experience in Marfa. Would definitely stay here again.

An creative compound close to town, but with room to breathe
We really enjoyed staying in this beautiful property. There were thoughtful details throughout - we loved the chef's kitchen and outdoor courtyard in particular. The house had loads of cool character but was also efficient with good ACs, fans & lighting. We particularly liked being on the edge of town. It was more relaxing than being in town, with better views. And, tacos were still super close with Mando's right down the street! We'll be back!

Great stay in Marfa
We stayed here for a couple of days in March over Spring Break. It's perfect for our family of 4: 2 adults, 2 children 9 and 13. The property is well put together with cozy accommodations, like a little nest! The décor is thoughtful and personal, great art pieces to ponder while you are there! The location is just on the edge of town, but even with that it's no more than a 2-3 minute drive to the main street with shops and restaurants. The kitchen is well supplied, though we ate out while we were there. The only caution I would give is that it's probably not best suited for small children given the loft accommodation.

Marfa perfection
We found our perfect place to stay when in Marfa. Terry has crafted a beautiful art installation that retains the historical roots of Marfa while capturing the contemporary culture of this serene and peaceful spot in the Chihuahuan desert. Loved the quiet location, just on the edge of town. Enjoyed walks through the cemetery across the street, pondering at the lives and stories behind many of the century+ old headstones. The back patio sitting area allowed us to enjoy the sounds of silence and the occasional train passing through town. Terry is a wonderful host, ensuring we had everything we needed for our stay. Looking forward to our return.

Unique artist getaway with everything!
We loved our stay at Terry's adobe! The house, the art, the books and decor were so thoughtfully put together and we felt immediately comfortable there. We cooked the entire time and Terry had everything we needed (and a lot more!) The bed was super comfy, the rain shower was fun and we loved watching Giant again on DVD! Terry's place is in a fabulous location on the edge of town, yet close enough to walk. Stargazing was incredible right outside the back door on the comfy chairs. Terry has done a wonderful job of making sure you have EVERYTHING you need and making sure your experience at his home is a memorable one! Perfect way to get away during these crazy times. Thanks Terry!

Desert Oasis
My kids and I really loved staying here! We are Texas natives that have never been to the desert, and were surprised at how cool it was in the evenings and impressed how long it stayed cool during the hot Texas days. We loved the area and were so glad to have this place as our home base! My daughter has a food allergy, so restaurants can be tough for us, but this kitchen had every conceivable amenity for us to cook our meals. The kids loved the loft! A great family getaway!

perfect quiet spot!
this house is on the edge of town so it’s very quiet-all the time (perfect for our writing retreat week)! if you’re a walker-it’s 15-20 minutes to town and beyond. so easy. this was our first time in an adobe house too-quite magical the way they work. didn’t try the cowboy tub but it sure looks good. a really amazing landscape around the house with tons to explore. bring boots!

Cozy Little Getaway
The property was lovely! Everything we could need was provided. The down comforter was a nice edition for those cold desert nights. However, the shower was a little rough. The old fixtures and pipes were beautiful but stationary. Just anticipate getting your hair wet even if you don’t want to. All in all it was a great stay! Thanks for having us!
