Enjoyed our stay very much. Wilma’s place is perfect for relaxing and getting away from it all! Will definitely stay here again next year.

Lovely place to stay that is easy to get to with easy access to everything you want to see but is very private with gorgeous dark sky views. Will absolutely stay again. Thank you for accommodating us for a last minute stay when the first place we booked did not work out. Thank you thank you.

We had a great time at Casa La Vista. The location was perfect for viewing the night sky, the sunrise and sunsets each day. It had everything we needed for cooking a delicious dinner outside and breakfast in the morning. The beds were comfortable and the bathroom spacious. Great towels! The house has great views of the mountains from every window.

The property is located away from most other properties, ensuring dark skies for astrophotography. Those skies were phenomenal for 3 of the 4 nights we stayed. The furnishings and kitchen could use some updates, but these can be overlooked considering the location of the property and its proximity to the dark skies and Big Bend National Park. Also, the owner/manager was very attentive and responded quickly to any issue, such as the intermittent WIFI outage. Really an enjoyable stay.

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.

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.

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

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! Vickie, Boone & David

This was my second time staying at one of Wilma's properties in Marathon, and I enjoyed it just as much as the other house next door. Although, this one has the benefit of unobstructed mountain views. Every sunset is great, and the night skies in west TX are incredible if you turn off all unnecessary lights.
Between the French Grocer and the new Porter's in Alpine, you'll have everything you need to cook, which is what we did all but one night. Keep your food secure/in the fridge as this is the desert, and there are bugs in the desert.
I recommend venturing over to the Gage to have dinner at the White Buffalo - it's a neat place and a very short drive. You could even walk as it's less than a mile each way.
Hope to be back next year.

Great view. Over all it was good. The property itself looked a little run down outside the house with the trash pile by the driveway. Cabinets were sticky, and dishes were dirty. Other than that, it was perfect.

From the moment you walk through the door you can see the stunning views of the desert and mountains in the distance. The house is immersed in the beautiful landscape and has a cozy, rustic feel. Marathon offers some fun places to visit just minutes down the road where you can frequent a coffee bar, steak house, and shops. Big Bend was only about an hour away which was an enjoyable scenic drive. I can’t recommend this place highly enough for a relaxing weekend getaway in West Texas.

Thoroughly enjoyed this stay. Very comfy. Traveling with our basset hound. Very private, therefore quiet. Enjoyed wildlife morning and evening that came to the little pond. Lovely view.
