Good morning, Helen, I just wanted to drop you a note to let you know what a fabulous time we had at your home in Marfa. Everything was just perfect and your house was awesome. We've been talking about it non-stop with our friends back home since we returned. We hope to stay with you again in the future. Thank you again for everything, Terri

This vacation was the best ever ! It was very clean fully loaded with everything we could've possibly needed or wanted , including her vechicle ! Awsome ! We enjoyed sitting out on the front porch while the kids played { which the owner provided bubbles for them }on the yard which was so plush , perfect for the kids ! Walking distance for all activities and restaurants. It felt just like home . This is the best way to go so much better than any motel and much more comfortable and safe .The owner made sure we had all contacts near by just in case we needed some assistance . But all went well , we all enjoyed the house , the town and the people . I so recommend this to all who will be visiting or planning a trip there . call and reserve this home you won't regret it ! I think it's one of the better homes in that area and kid friendly even the teenager enjoyed it ! God willing we'll be there again next year !
