This is a great house to get away... clean, well maintained, has everything needed for relaxing and quiet stay. We hated to leave this place. It was perfect weekend for us and our dog... wish we can be back there soon.

We stayed here for the Thanksgiving break and thoroughly enjoyed Esmeralda! We wanted to show our two girls (ages 9 & 11) the Big Bend area. Staying here really completed the whole experience as this house has so much charm and character. The house is so comfortable and relaxing. There are books and little treasurers throughout the house. Our girls enjoyed the pond and firepit. The owner really made effort to create a relaxing environment. The house has everything you need and more!

This place was perfect for us. It comfortably accommodates two couples for some nights. Everything is lovingly decorated and nicely maintained. The welcome was warm and dealing with the owner was quick, easy and professional. We also loved the quaint township of Marathon, dare I say, more than Marfa. If you are looking for a relaxed time in a picturesque environment...this one is for you.

This is one of the loveliest vacation homes we have ever visited. We enjoyed preparing meals in the kitchen, time with the wonderful books and music, and the majestic scenery and setting of West Texas. Every aspect of the home is designed to make you feel welcome and relax. The decorating is incredible and we loved every detail of the house and our entire trip. Can't wait to return!

We throughly enjoyed our stay at this house. Having rented many of the vacation properties in and around Marathon I can say this was our best experience. The house is very well cared for and is perfect for catching up on your reading, napping, cooking, painting, whatever floats your boat. The beds are great, and plenty of nice linens, pillows, and all the comforts of home. It's perfect.

My writing partner and I spent a long weekend here, and could not have been more pleased. We loved everything about the house. The libraries - book, movie, music - were varied and fun to explore. The house's eclectic furnishings were charming and we found treasures everywhere. The screened porch makes a perfect place to sit and write. And to watch sunrises. The kitchen porch offers a great view of sunsets. We had everything we needed to make our stay perfect, and there was even a bottle of wine to welcome us to the house. Both of us are planning return visits.

There is plenty to do in Marathon - wander around the Gage Gardens and the Gage Hotel. Have pizza at Guzzi Pizza. Have a drink (or several) at the White Elephant. Have a nice dinner at the 12 Gage Restaurant. Check out the town's cemetery. Or: don't do anything! It's a great place to relax in, to watch the sun and moon rise and set. To look at the stars. To listen to the birds, the trains, the wind.

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our 4 day visit over Memorial Day weekend. We especially enjoyed the sunrises while drinking our coffee on the screen porch. The house is comfortable and quiet. We used Marathon as our base to explore Big Bend and Marfa, and it is our favorite place to stay in the area.

We had a wonderful time staying at this remarkable old house and seeing the Big Bend Country. There are so many charming things to appreciate at this house....our favorites being the extensive book collection and watching and noting the many varieties of birds at the pond. We look forward to going back again!
