Due to our remote location Cell phone service and internet can operate in a spotty/inconsistent manner beyond residents' control. Additionally most businesses are owner-operated so many places are closed Sunday-Tuesday. There are still options, however they will be more limited than Wednesday-Saturday. If you are coming specifically to visit Chinati Foundation please keep in mind they are closed Monday and Tuesday when booking.

Other things to note
Please kindly note: this adobe is located in the high desert, in a remote region. We have dust, even dust storms. We have insects and arachnids including spiders, ants and scorpions - and more! I hope this far out landscape is part of why you have chosen this locale. That said, please note a 100 year old structure does not guarantee a complete seal. This does not mean the casita has not been fully, and thoughtfully, cleaned for you. Please do not consider booking the place if you are the type who is unable to handle dust that might have blown in, or an errant insect. *This is not to signify an insect problem, but rather as a gentle and kind warning of a rare situation.* Many thanks.

I look forward to hosting you! Come enjoy all that Marfa offers and stay in a comfortable, quiet and private space to fully sink in.

Guest access
You have access to the casita and back yard, which offers an outdoor area with firepit and kitchen garden. Great for star gazing and enjoying the cool evening nights.

Please be aware that if you do not book out the entire property, there may be another party renting the main house during your stay. We offer separate parking for both listings as well as zoned yard space in order to provide guests with privacy.

Other things to note
Hotel tax required by city of Marfa is included in nightly rate.

Please be aware that refunds will not be issued for insect sightings. We work extremely hard to keep this property clean for our guests, and ask that you be considerate of the fact that 1) Marfa is in the high desert 2) the adobe homes Marfa is so well known for are porous by nature. At certain times of the year insects (including spiders, water bugs, flies, and scorpions) are more active, and may appear within the house on rare occasions. This is not something we can 100% guard against, and it has nothing to do with lack of cleanliness! If you have a serious phobia of insects and arachnids, please do not book this location. That being said, this space DOES NOT have an insect problem, and this disclaimer is only meant to protect us in in the very rare case of sightings.

Kick back and relax in this calm, stylish space. This Guesthouse is a private oasis perfect for two! Enjoy Ranch Views on the peaceful edge of Marfa.

Carefully-cultivated guesthouse set behind a converted Texaco station/artist studio on the western end of town. Designed by the artist-owner, this beautifully repurposed industrial space offers a highly refined take on the Marfa casita experience. Open-plan interior creates luxurious, sumptuous sense of space and light. Elegant living areas combine industrial elements with artworks, antiques and stylish furnishings. Large private yard. Wonderfully suited for long-term stays.

The space
The Gem is a fully private, 890-square foot guesthouse set on the grounds of a larger residential compound. Hosts (often) occupy the front gas station, which has been converted into an artist studio and residence, but guests have complete privacy and near-exclusive reign over the backyard and outdoor terraces.

The metal building was beautifully restored by the resident artist/owner, who employed sustainable building practices throughout the renovation. The open plan interior layout along with cathedral ceilings creates long, clean sight lines and beautiful light. Upon entrance on the eastern side, the structure's impressive length unfolds, uninterrupted, seamlessly transitioning through the different living areas. Feels expansive yet also protected and enveloped in soft natural light, which flows in primarily through upper-level skylights.

Tastefully-appointed with custom-built furnishings made from gorgeously distressed reclaimed oak and metal, handsome antiques and tufted salon-style sofas. The latter elements lend a slightly gilded, "Haute Bohemian" layer to the pared-back modern/industrial foundation. Also thoughtful selection of original paintings, films, art books and other reading materials. Everything feels luxurious, inviting and harmoniously integrated. The whole place exudes understated luxury and elegance.

Designated sleeping area at one of the building contains one Queen bed with a handcrafted cedar bed-frame and side tables. There's also one smaller sleeper sofa situated at the other end of the building, which folds out into a twin bed. Curtains provide partial privacy between the two areas so we can accommodate certain groups of three (parents traveling with a younger child, or a friend accompanying a couple) provided one traveler is comfortable with a twin-sized setup.

A variety of outdoor terraces and gardens provide serene settings for soaking in the sun, stargazing, communing with local hummingbirds (or the occasional lizard or roadrunner) or taking in one of those sublime West Texas sunsets. Overall, a luxe, transportive sanctuary for elevated and artful living. Ideal long-term retreat as you'll want to linger and luxuriate once inside!


*High speed wireless Internet capable of meeting any and all remote working demands.
*Newly-installed high-quality HVAC system
*Sleek, streamlined kitchen fully equipped with LG refrigerator and dishwsher and sleek Bertozzoni stove. Dining/living area features elegant French clawfoot table, cathedral ceiling and soft bamboo flooring. Positively glows with light at certain times of day.
*Conveniently located on the western end of downtown Marfa. Feels relaxed and slightly removed from the central downtown activity yet everything is easily accessible and just a few minutes' walk away.

Guest access
Hosts live part-time in the roadside Texaco station, which is also a working artist studio. Guests are given full privacy, though, and near exclusive reign over the backyard and its various outdoor terraces. (From time to time, we'll step out into the yard to water the plants/perform general maintenance but we try to keep a very low profile during your stay.) Both parties use the front u-shaped driveway but guests have a designated (private) parking area and entranceway along the eastern side. If we're in Marfa during your stay, one of is usually situated inside the front studio so feel free to come through and say hello! (When hosts are out of town, the studio space remains locked.)

Other things to note
*We believe Far West Texas best reveals itself with time and, thus, offer fairly substantial discounts for longer-term stays. If you're considering such a stay, please message us to discuss pricing and potential offers.

*We're typically set up (and ideally suited) for couples and solo travelers. Please inform us beforehand if you'd like the extra (twin) sofa bed prepared for your arrival.

*There's a designated, fully private parking area and entranceway for guests along the eastern side of the property. Please park along the eastern side of the front u-shaped driveway (before the "Guest Parking Only" sign) and use this side to access the casita. When hosts are in residence, they park along the western end of the front drive but stay clear of the guest entrance.

*There's no check-in procedure and we'll leave the casita doors unlocked for your arrival so feel free to head down and let yourselves in any time after 3 PM. Please leave both doors unlocked on your day of departure. Thank you!!
