The home was awesome and had so much room that made it great for our family to all get together in one place.

Our families had a blast at the best house in Marfa. We had everything we needed in this mid century modern home. Not everything has been updated but we loved the time warp and didn’t need a thing. The art on the walls was a treat as well. Beautiful back patio, comfy beds, plenty of towels, very clean and within an hour of the McDonald observatory and most other points of interest like state parks, funky Alpine and Fort Davis. Definitely stay here!

House was spacious and well stocked. We liked the location and found some neat hang out spots nearby. Our only regret was not spending more time enjoying all the house had to offer because we were busy sightseeing at Big Bend, McDonald Observatory, and Ft. Davis. Internet worked well, beds were comfortable, and I love that it had plenty of towels!

The Stover House holds a special place for me. Growing up, Dr. Stover was my doctor and while he didn’t practice medics from home, his house was just across the street from my grandparents’ house. I was so happy to see painting of the courthouse and local scenes painted by his wife still in their home - truly made the stay very personal and interesting. The house is fantastic for larger groups with a floor plan that made it easy for early risers to make coffee without disturbing anyone’s sleep. The patio in back was a favorite with humans and canines alike and high cinderblock walls and iron gates kept town critters like javelinas and skunks out while keeping our loved ones in! Nicely landscaped with plenty of grass and a grape orchard, too. The house is warm and inviting and amenities complete and we made use of the gas fireplace in the back den on the coldest nights.
We didn’t use the garage but nice to have the option.
Overall, a lovely home - thanks so much!

This was a good place for us to stay. There was 5 of us riding motorcycles. The residential streets getting to the house was partial pavement and gravel with potholes, so it was tricky navigating around the rough stuff but we made it! It is in a quiet neighborhood and close to the main road with the restaurants and bars. Having a garage to park our bikes in overnight was important. That was a big +. Everything was good in the house including everything we needed for cooking. Next time we come that way, we will stay here again!

Mid-Century Modern is a great description. A sprawling house with plenty of room so you are not on top of each other. Many original features such as the tile and cork floors in the kitchen. Loved the art throughout the house!! Back garden has great bones. Would book again.

The Stover house is a well maintained vintage home in a quite neighborhood in Marfa. We were two families, with five kids total, and the layout of the house was perfect for allowing all of us to spread out when needed, yet still gather together for puzzles and board games. Both the front living room and the den in the rear were great for hanging out, and the back yard is very large and fully fenced - perfect for our golden retriever. Quiet neighborhood, and the location is a great! We would definitely stay here again.

Spent the weekend with some friends. Greta house and plenty of room. Wouldn’t say it was walking distance because of the limited or no street lights but very quick drive to anything we wanted to do. Would book it again.

Getting the trash out and in the dumpster about a block away was a bit intimidating. Also the trains were quite disruptive at 1 - 4 am for sleep time.
