"Clean, quiet, "

"Arrived late and did not have the opportunity to explore much, but really enjoyed the ambience of this clean historic hotel. Desk attendent, Reign, was a sweetheart and took very good care of a couple of weary travelers, with recommendations and a room switch due to faulty heater in room #1. Will be back when bar/restaurant are open after remodel."

"We enjoyed our stay very much and would definitely stay again"

"Good experience at this property, clean and comfortable rooms, well maintained properly."

"Great breakfast "

"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!"

"Nice place "

"Our whole family loved this home and property…even our dog! This was our first ever Vrbo rental and we WILL be coming back here again!!! The house was impeccably clean and equipped with everything we needed. It has great desert charm and the view from the balcony and hammock is fabulous. Our entire trip’s purpose was stargazing at Big Bend, but the dark sky view from the balcony and yard is exquisite in its own right. Big Bend was an easy drive and a scenic round trip to and from the rental. Our host was SUPER responsive… available immediately or within minutes when we had questions. Marathon is marvelously quirky; within a block there are mini-mansions, RV’s, and old trailers. This house is a beautiful little oasis, reminiscent of a beach house but with a desert vibe. We were inspired by the unique decor and took a ton of photos for inspiration for our own home. You, your kids, and your pets will not regret staying here!"

"Amazing home with so much space for a large group of friends and family to spread out. The house was fully stocked and the pool was the cherry on top. Highly recommend!"
