Thank you for visiting our listing page! The White Door is one of our six homes-away-from-home in Marfa. It's a full house with 2BR, 1BA, and a nice back yard for you and the dogs.
Unlike our other rentals that are available year round, this is our own home, which we rent when we are away ourselves (usually renting from another VRBO owner! :-))That's why you see most of the calendar blocked off.
It may sound funny for Marfa, but it's true: we are in one of the two more...expensive?...areas of Marfa. Our neighbors have designed and built beautiful contemporary homes that stand among old ranch houses and our exposed adobe home. It's very quiet and a peninsula, surrounded by beautiful rangeland on three sides, with the Davis Mountains to the north.
The house has 2BR connected to a Hollywood-style bathroom. There is a separate living room, separate TV room, and separate kitchen with dining area, as well as a laundry room. The floors, in keeping with the Marfa aesthetic, are finished concrete, and the owners, who own the inde/jacobs gallery, have many works from their own collection in the house. This makes the house really quite special for art lovers.
If you have a group, please consider renting the house during its availability along with the neighboring Casita, visible under "All My Rentals" below. (For some reason, VRBO won't let us put the actual link--to our own property in their VRBO service!--in this space.) Please do not hesitate to call or write with any questions. Gracie Conners, our manager, is one in a million.
To see all our Marfa VRBO rentals, just scroll down the page for the link to "All My Rentals" to see the others. Then just click any page's calendar to see availability. All our rentals have a two-night minimum and three nights on holiday weekends and other peak times. Thank you!

Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2007
Vilis and I own a number of apartment rentals in Marfa, but this is our own home, which we rent when away. Vilis runs our gallery, inde/jacobs, which features works on paper by the artists known to Marfa visitors.
Why the Owner Chose Marfa
We chose Marfa because we love the minimalist aesthetic that seminal American minimalist Donald Judd brought to the town in the 1980s. The views, mountains and people have made it our home.
The Unique Benefits of this House
Our neighborhood is really special, surrounded on the three sides by vast ranch holdings--endless rangeland--home to antelope, cattle and more. Our neighbors own traditional ranch houses and newly-designed and built contemporaries. It's very quiet.
