Short stay, good location, quiet spot.

Came into Marathon for one night. Nice to have a spot to ourselves after a long drive. Good space for kids, master bedroom on opposite side of home. Did a load of laundry too. Woke up after moon set to see the Milky Way. Would rent again.

Clean and perfect for a quick visit to big bend

Plenty of towels. Nice patio. Everything you need. And very clean. Honestly if you are going to big bend this place is a straight shot into the park. 40 min or so. Not likely to find a place closer. Highly recommend. Recommend bringing in food with you as there really isn’t great food options around the park.

We came in for a 70 birthday party/family reunion and stayed here. The place is super cute and was super clean. It had so kinds of stuff including a huge selection of coffees and teas. We would definitely stay here again. Host was also super quick to respond with any answers to any questions we had.
