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.
5.0
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.

We loved this wonderful spot. The house was spotless and comfortable, and the kitchen is well-stocked. The views are astonishing. But the thing that made us feel the most welcome was the thoughtful dog-oriented adds: a shelf with dog towels and a bowl of dog toys. So sweet!! We’ll be back!

The views were amazing! And, oh my goodness, the stars! Very comfortable place. Convenient to Big Bend after a little drive. We would rent the place again, for sure

This is the farthest West of town with nothing to block your view of the southern end of the Glass Mountains but a barbed wire fence. The small pond attracted all sorts of wildlife from Scaled Quail, Cactus Wrens, Red Tailed Hawk to Mule Deer and the giant window allowed for unobstructed viewing with all the comforts of home. There is a well stocked kitchen and large living, dining room with comfortable chairs. There is a Flat Screen T.V. but we never even turned that on and relied on the good internet connection. We loved our short stay and hope to come back for more.

Wilma’s Casa La Vista is an amazing stay. Very secluded and quiet, with amazing dark sky views. The property itself is gorgeous and has a perfect West Texas vibe. If you are looking for a place to relax and really soak up some ambiance this is the place. This stay will not be my last at Casa La Vista!

Beautiful
I’ve never stayed in a property with such perfectly unadulterated views. Not even a power line to mar the view of the desert, mountains, and sunset. The kids loved running around, and we al enjoyed building a fire outside in the evening.

Favorite house in Marathon
We absolutely loved our stay! The pictures don’t do the house justice at all, very nice large bathroom, bedrooms are good sized and comfortable, kitchen is well equipped and nice to use. Love the picture windows!! It does t show in photos but there is also a roll away bed and a day bed for kids to use. We will 100% be back!

Beautiful West Texas Sunsets
This property is well maintained and has great sunset views. We used this as a base for Big Bend. Drives into the park can take 1-2 hours depending on destination, but don't let this deter you. Get up early and enjoy the sunrise as you drive into the park. After 6-8 hours of hiking in the park, coming back to this spacious house is a treat.

Leave all your cares behind.......
My hubby and I stayed at this lovely property for several days in April to enjoy the beauty that is the Big Bend area. This house is located right on the edge of Marathon but feels like it is a million miles away from our hectic daily life. We spent our days traveling to Big Bend and Terlingua for hiking and site seeing and our evenings relaxing and enjoying the beautiful night skies. The house is tastefully decorated - as the pics show it is open and cozy. We were 30 minutes away from Alpine and enjoyed Guzzi Up - a fabulous little bistro that makes a mean Margarita Pizza. We ate several times at Los Muertos and it is the real deal - they serve a great chicken enchilada with verde sauce. Kitchen at the house is well stocked and French Grocers has a great selection. But it was the house that made the trip.
