Please read House Manual for detailed information. Wildlife: Because our house is on the edge of town, we are fortunate enough to have an abundance of wildlife. If you keep watch, you may see a bobcat, javelinas, bats and beautiful birds. You may also encounter thorns, scorpions and snakes so always take care when walking around outside. It is wise to always wear shoes when walking around in the yard. Bats: We sometimes have a bat colony that lives in the front eaves of our house. We are grateful for the bats because they eat the mosquitoes. However, the downside to having bats is you may find bat guano on the front porch. While we do our best to sweep it away, it comes back quickly. Please excuse their poor bathroom habits. Extra Pillows/Fans/Blankets/Pack-n-Play can be found in the first guest bedroom closet. Additional Information Big Sky is nestled in the northwest quadrant of Marfa and has the darkest skies of the lower 48 states. From our property, the view to the north during the day is of the Davis Mountain range, to the east is the town of Marfa, to the west is rolling West Texas cattle land (home of some brilliant sunsets), and to the south is the Chihuahuan Desert and Chinati Peak. Big Bend is about and hour and a half away and the McDonald Observatory is about 40 minutes to the north (a trip worth making)! More information Getting around Big Sky is a (beautiful) 10-15 minute walk from the heart of downtown. Or bring your bikes and ride to town. Electric bikes are available at Ebike Marfa. Permit #S101.

Despite the hot temps, Big Sky Marfa helped us find the relief we needed. Great House with a great floorplan. My wife and i enjoyed the large master and the kids enjoyed the separate rooms. The Sunset is indescribable!! There is no neighboring properties to block the west Texas sunset... Enjoy the table out in the yard!!

The home and grounds are lovely, like the photos but larger in person. The skies are incredible to watch from the back deck and living room, from dawn til dusk. "Big Sky" is an apt name!

On the edge of town, away from the lights, with an excellent view of the open prairie. Plenty of space for kitchen work and meals, and comfortable and warm bedrooms. We sould definitely book again for a longer-term stay for using as an adventuring home base and roaming around the Davis Mountains / Big Bend.

This is our second stay at Big Sky House and we love it! The views are beautiful and the house is so well decorated and comfortable. I should note that the master bedroom and bath are very spacious and the other two bedrooms are small and share a hallway bath. Otherwise, everything is perfect!

Beautiful and comfortable West Texas base
Big Sky is a gem of a house. It is beautifully decorated but in a practical way that makes it so livable. The location allowed for easy exploration of the surrounding area - Marfa, Alpine, Balmorhea, Fort Davis, and Big Bend. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there.

We had an amazing time at our stay here! We brought our two pups along. The house is spacious and gorgeous inside and out. Modern yet cozy, all the stucco and desert vibes — tall ceilings, amazingly furnished and decorated. Beds are extremely comfy and views are unmatched. The yard is large and fenced in, and both front and back porches are immaculate. Pictures really don’t do this place justice! We will be back and hopefully with a few more guests to enjoy this place. Didn’t need to contact the owner much as everything is easy to navigate and house is well equipped.

Perfect Wedding Week Headquarters
We wanted a home to "live" in for the week that led up to our son's wedding in Marfa. We wanted a home that captured the wide-open skies and views of the desert and mountains this house delivered! Everything was very comfortable, especially the spacious master bedroom and bath. The second and third bedrooms share a hallway bath. The design aesthetic has a wonderful modern Marfa vibe.
