About the host
Hosted by Christa M.
Marfa House was an historic, but derelict, adobe structure when the owner purchased it in 2005. After a 14-year renovation project, it was opened in Spring, 2019 to offer guests accommodations in a building with historic character and comfortable modern amenities steps from the center of Marfa. Our Sonya, lives nearby and is available to respond to any needs guests may have and provide information about local resources.
Why they chose this property
Marfa offers many lodgings for travelers, but few that have links to Marfa's 19th century old-West roots and a location literally steps from the galleries, bars, and restaurants of the town's heart. Nearly every room at Marfa House features original art that echoes a blend of Marfa's historic character and its contemporary vibe. Why not stay at a lodging that will provide you magic memories of your West Texas visit as well as comfort and convenience?
A WORD ABOUT OUR CLEANING PRACTICES IN THE WAKE OF THE PANDEMIC:
Marfa House wants our guests to be safe during their visits. In response to the Covid-19 Pandemic, we have committed to the following practices:
--The Marfa House apartments will be left vacant a minimum of 24 hours between guest residencies.
--The host will socially distance and wear a mask during direct interactions with guests. Guests will, of course, have all-hours access to the Marfa House entry and their booked unit via keypad entrance access, including for check-in.
--An antiseptic solution will be used to clean all contact surfaces in each unit before guests check in--including door knobs, appliances, counters, and mini split AC/heating and ceiling fan remotes, as well as multiple daily wipe-downs of other high-traffic surfaces such as entry door knobs, light switches, stair railings, and the television remote in the Atrium.
------The space is heated and cooled with an individual mini split HVAC units which utilize fresh air from outside, so there is no recirculated air which could result in health concerns.
