Thank you for visiting our listing page! The Violet Door is just one of our six homes-away-from-home in Marfa. You may scroll down the page for the link to "All My Rentals" to see the others. Just click any page's calendar to see availability.

The Violet Door offers you a comfortable and stylish 2BR, 1BA apartment bedroom in a classic Marfa adobe. It's a wonderful hotel alternative when you want a kitchen and room to stretch.

And now, the Violet Door has its own private fenced patio and outdoor shower (March-October; and yes, there is a full indoor bathroom too:-)). See pix below!

The key to our colored door apartments is location, location, location. You are in the heart of Marfa's gallery district. The Get Go Specialty Grocery is across the street. Restaurants, coffee shops, the Marfa Book Company, and the Saturday morning (April-Dec.) farmer's market are within two blocks. You can come to Marfa and never use your car.

Marfa is the world-famous home of American minimalist art at the Chinati Foundation Museum, Judd Foundation, and Donald Judd residence, with unparalleled installations of Judd, Dan Flavin, Roni Horn, and more. In addition to the galleries and other cultural attractions, Marfa at 5000 feet offers dry and perfect whether year round; even the hot summer days are balanced by magical nights.

Escape to Marfa and after your Chinati and gallery visits, enjoy the spectacular Rio Grande drive to Big Bend National Park and/or the charming Mexican border town of Ojinaga. You'll see why film director Paul Anderson chose Marfa for "There Will be Blood" (with Daniel Day-Lewis) and the Coen Brothers chose the town for their film of Cormac McCarthy's "No Country for Old Men." Not to mention that other film, with, who were they? Dean, Hudson and Taylor? Whatever!

    • Our family of four and puppy stayed at Tom Jacob's Violet Door in mid- September. The apartment was clean, spacious, and beautifully decorated! The outdoor shower was fun to bathe in under that glorious sky of Marfa! It was a good choice for a homebase for all the traveling we did,plus we got to really explore Marfa on foot. We had a great time and will visit the Violet door again! Thanks Tom and Vilis!
