The photos of this home don't do it justice since there are more furnishings in the LR etc. than shown online. We loved the texture of the old adobe brick walls, the eclectic western decor, the cleanliness and the comfortable beds. It is so quiet here you can't help but relax and let the worries of life fade away. The views are enjoyable and while here we experienced a dust storm which blotted out the mountains and scenery for miles, an interesting phenomenon. The neighbor's dog came over just to make sure we were "okay" and even the hammering on the new construction nearby felt normal. As an update to the VRBO description, there is cable TV here as well as internet. The only minor drawback for us was that the laundry facilities were under lock and key and not available to the guests. We were on the last five days of a 2 1/2 week road trip and found this to be a big negative - although ingenuity did prevail! When traveling we always stay in cabins/homes and this is the first one we have found that does not offer its guests laundry facilities. Be sure to bring loads of groceries, milk and water as there is only one very small grocery in Marathon. This is a wonderful place to access Big Bend or just chill. You can't help but fall in love with this place.
