Thank you for visiting our listing page! The Casita 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.

Our Marfa one-bedroom, one-bathroom separate guesthouse/casita offers privacy with its own entrance and private fenced and landscaped yard. A walk, bike (we have bikes available at your request) or short drive to town, our neighborhood is bordered on three sides by Nature Conservancy ranchland, mountains and high desert wildlife, and during droughts antelope play there and on our streets, much to the consternation of our dog.

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. The town offers many galleries (including ours, inde/jacobs fine art), a first-class independent bookstore, and small-town friendliness. At 5000 feet, Marfa's weather is dry and perfect 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, who won the Oscar for his role), while he lived a block away from us (they rented the retreat for their baby's nanny -- big whoop :-)), and the Coen Brothers chose the town for their film of Cormac McCarthy's "No Country for Old Men" (best picture!) Not to mention that other film, with, who were they? Dean, Hudson and Taylor? Whatever!

  • The guesthouse is a great place to stay if you enjoy a peaceful retreat under the stars with wide open space at your front door. Both our dogs (and their people) loved the casita! There isn't a full kitchen, but the propane grill and the electric burners were enough to cook a lovely feast for two that we enjoyed with a bottle of wine under the twinkling tree lights. The full bathroom was a pleasant surprise - a long soak after a day in the desert is heaven. Tom and Vilis are fabulous hosts & more importantly, just "great people." We can't imagine staying anywhere else on a trip to Marfa.

  • Perfect studio/one bedroom for a weekend getaway to Marfa. Tom and Villis, the home owners, are gracious and accommodating. The casita is charming with a nice courtyard for hanging out and drinking a glass of wine or reading a book. The kitchen set up is limited, but that is just the way I like it since Marfa has a few great places to eat like Maiyas, The Blue Javelina and Austin St. Cafe. Enjoy!
