Perfect
This is an extremely nice and comfortable house in Marathon. We had business in the area and the Gage was booked out. We rented this house and enjoyed it infinitely more than had we been at the hotel. On the edge of town with a shared boundary of Iron Mountain Ranch so no other houses in your views from the living room and outdoor. I will be back with my family for an enjoyable weekend rather than work.

Marathon and Big Bend getaway
Our stay was awesome! It was very relaxing and the views from the house is so worth the stay. The house was well equipped with just about anything that you need. One of the cleanest stays I’ve had traveling.

Wonderful weekend getaway
As described....it was hard to even want to leave the property at all...my ONLY complaint would be that the smaller mattress is not super comfy so we moved rooms around and one slept on the bed in the main room which was AMAZINGLY comfy, and there is not ample drinkware. Washer and Dryer are located outside by the front door...other than that....get ready to completely unwind and fill your cup

Mountain Desert Retreat
Be prepared for the quiet beauty. The moment we walked through the doors, we got lost in the stunning views of the mountains. The perfect place to recharge and rest. It is a great launch pad for Big Bend, too. Wooden high ceilings, fully equipped kitchen and bathroom, comfortable beds and furniture. Sitting on the covered patio watching sunsets are a must. Early rising with the sun is amazing as well. The house is properly cooled and if you want a fire in the fireplace or the outside fire pit, there’s plenty of firewood right outside the kitchen door. The house is sitting out away from other homes with its windmill and Cottonwood tree marking the way to Casa La Vista. Truly serene with multitude of birds making a stop for lunch on the seeds. We will definitely stay in this property again. Also, most importantly for us who have canine family members: your dog will stand in front of one of the many windows and see every movement in front of them. Dog Friendly!!!! Until next time!
